Guessing at tracks isn't free. Here is the honest math of getting it wrong for one year on your land, at your camp, or around your coop.
Your numbers will differ, but the Manual pays for itself the first time it stops you from buying the wrong fix or tells you what actually walked past your coop.
These are the gaps I find again and again when I get called out to a property.
Probably is a guess. Coyote, dog, bobcat and cougar prints get confused all the time, and the differences are small but readable.
Pad width, stride and straddle mean nothing if you take them from the wrong spot. A bad measurement leads to a bad call.
A bear doesn't need to want your house. It only needs to learn that your yard pays.
Latches and wire that stop one animal fail against another. You find out at dawn.
One print is a visit. A repeated pattern is a route. Most people never read the trail.
There are warning signs in the woods. If you don't know them, you keep walking in.
No photo, no scale, no cast. Then the Game Commission, your neighbor and your family just nod.
Dogs find trouble before you do. Without a plan for the yard and the camp, you're relying on luck.
You don't need to be scared of the woods. You need to be able to read what's on the ground.

Seven days, my word on it: money back and you keep the files
I'm Walt Kincaid. I'm 68, and I've been tracking for 36 years. I spent 9 of them in Montana and Idaho looking into grizzly, wolf and cougar damage to livestock. The rest I've spent in the Pennsylvania Wilds, answering calls about a bear in the barn or a "panther" behind the house.
What I learned out there is simple. Most people who call aren't foolish. They saw something real, and nobody gave them a way to prove it. I never laugh at a report. I get down on one knee and look.
I have more than 3,000 tracks cast in plaster in my barn. Every one taught me something, and a lot of them showed me I was wrong about a first guess. Tracks don't lie. People guessing about them do.
This book puts that work in one place. It won't make you an expert overnight, and it won't make the woods risk-free. It will teach you to read the ground, protect what's yours, and have proof when you speak.
Use the Manual for 7 days. If it isn't what you expected, email us and we'll refund your money. Keep the files either way.
No. It's a digital PDF you download right after purchase. You can read it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want.
No. It's a one-time purchase. No monthly fees and no renewals.
If it keeps you from one wrong gadget, one lost night of sleep or one season of guessing, it has done its job. It's $19 at launch, $47 regular.
Pieces are. But scattered posts won't give you 60 prints at life size with measurements, look-alike warnings, a complete test and a bear-proofing routine in one place.
You have 7 days to ask for a refund. No long forms and no argument.
Yes. It has a full chapter on cougars, bears and hogs in the East, along with the tracks you'll realistically meet.
It gives you a 10-point test and a method to document evidence. It doesn't promise certainty from a single print, and it says so plainly.
