Re: Permit Exit Trail

To add to that last email, The footprint is for the trackers. Trailing dog teams should also be able to use footprints as well. I use them to confirm my dog's work. I.e. if my dog is working in an area that has some good track traps (open dirt areas), I look at the ground to see if I can see any matching tracks or signs. Also, the flankers are to keep an eye out as well for signs.

SAR is a puzzle game where we constantly look for clues - How is the trailing dog working? Is there an article/item that belongs to the subject? etc.

Is the footprint's purpose to leave scent for dogs or for human trackers to find?? The human tracker would have to be VERY good to find that specific track "needle" in the haystack of hundreds of footprints on the trail...
