[Intro]
On the trail….
Nail the track
[Verse 1]
A broken twig
(A twist of fur)
Footprint’s big
(For being a her)
[Bridge]
On the trail….
Nail the track
[Chorus]
Understand behaviors
(Habitat)
Command what’s yours
(Just like that)
[Verse 2]
Four toes with claws
(The paw pad is triangular)
If trapped, she gnaws
(Escape is spectacular)
[Bridge]
On the trail….
Nail the track
[Chorus]
Understand behaviors
(Habitat)
Command what’s yours
(Just like that)
[Bridge]
On the trail….
Nail the track
Never fails
She’s got the knack
[Outro]
On the trail….
Nail the track
ABOUT THE SONG
Tracking or trailing a fox requires a mix of observation, patience, and understanding of its behavior and habitat. Here are the basics:
1. Understand Fox Behavior and Habitat
- Habitat: Foxes typically live in wooded areas, fields, and near water sources. They also adapt well to urban and suburban environments.
- Behavior: They are most active during dawn and dusk (crepuscular), so look for signs during these times.
- Diet: Foxes eat small mammals, birds, insects, and berries, which can help you identify areas they frequent.
2. Look for Tracks
- Track Shape: Fox tracks are oval and show four toes with claws. The paw pad is triangular, and the print is usually about 1.5-2 inches long.
- Gait: Foxes typically trot in a straight line, with their hind foot often landing in the track of the front foot.
- Location: Tracks are easiest to spot in soft mud, sand, or snow.
3. Search for Other Signs
- Scat: Fox droppings are tapered, about 2-3 inches long, and may contain fur, bones, or seeds. They’re often left on rocks or paths to mark territory.
- Burrows/Dens: Fox dens are usually in sandy soil or hillsides and may have multiple entrances. Look for fresh dirt, tracks, or scat near the entrance.
- Fur and Scratches: Foxes sometimes leave fur on fences or branches they pass by and scratch marks on the ground when foraging.
4. Follow Scent Trails
Foxes have a musky odor. If you’re using a trained dog, they may be able to pick up and follow this scent.
5. Observe with Stealth
- Move Quietly: Foxes are skittish, so avoid making noise or leaving your scent.
- Use Binoculars: This allows you to observe from a distance without disturbing them.
- Wear Neutral Colors: Blend in with the environment to avoid detection.
6. Be Patient and Respectful
Tracking wildlife requires patience. Be mindful not to disturb the animal or its habitat, and always follow local laws and guidelines for wildlife tracking.
