It is the spoor of the game we are tracking.

He recognized the spoor of deer, bear, and innumerable rabbits.

[smell detected by a hound] spoor.

On the morning, says Mr. Cumming, I rode into camp, after unsuccessfully following the spoor of a herd of elephants for two days, in a westerly course.

I led them over his spoor, again and again, but to no purpose; the dogs seemed quite stupid, and yet they were Wolf and Boxer, my two best.

The lion continued his meal, tearing away at the buffalo, and growling at his wife and family, who, I found next day, by the spoor, had accompanied him.

The ground all around was packed flat with their spoor; one particular spoor was nearly as large as that of a borele.

I then proceeded to inspect the steeds: the sand around them was also covered with the lion's spoor.

After breakfast I sent men to cut off the head of this rhinoceros, and proceeded with Ruyter to take up the spoor of the bull wounded in the morning.

We found that he was very severely hit, and having followed the spoor for about a mile through very dense thorn cover, he suddenly rustled out of the bushes close ahead of us, accompanied by a whole host of rhinoceros birds.

When we got close in to the base of the mountain, we found ourselves enveloped in dense jungle, which extended half-way to its summit, and entirely obscured from our eyes objects which were quite apparent from the wagons, I slipped my dogs, however, which, after snuffing about, took right up the steep face on the spoor of the lions, for there was a troop of thema lion and three lionesses.

After following the spoor for a couple of miles, we dropped it, as it led right away from camp.

Along the base of these we followed him, sometimes in view, sometimes on the spoor, keeping the old fellow at a pace which made him pant.

Our attention was entirely engrossed with the spoor, and thus we rode boldly on until within a few feet of him, when, springing to his feet, he made a desperate charge after Ruyter, uttering a low, stifled roar, peculiar to buffaloes, (somewhat similar to the growl of a lion,) and hurled horse and rider to the earth with fearful violence.

On the 27th, as day dawned, says Mr. Cumming, I left my shooting-hole, and proceeded to inspect the spoor of my wounded rhinoceros.

After following it for some distance I came to an abrupt hillock, and fancying that from the summit a good view might be obtained of the surrounding country, I left my followers to seek the spoor, while I ascended.

His spoor is very easily distinguished from that of any other animal; the ball of the foot shows a distinct round impression, and about an inch to an inch and a half further on, the impression of the long curved claws are seen.

I'll do the same if I strike the spoor of the big devil.

The distinguishing marks of good "form" are an easy balance without dependence on the sticks (see below), an erect position, except on steep slopes, and a narrow single spoor in soft snow.

And the pack was giving tonguethat fierce, heated baying which told him they were again on the fresh spoor of game.

For instance, when the spoor of some unknown beast is described as 6 inches across, one shrewdly guesses that a cold scientific measurement would have reduced this figure by nearly a half; so it is with mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, &c. With all deduction on this account the lecture was extraordinarily interesting.

Some farmer walking over his field of swedes would find the great spoor of his feet and the evidence of his nibbling hungera root picked here, a root picked there, and the holes, with childish cunning, heavily erased.

But he noticed then that Canadian journals left neither spoor nor scentmight have blown in from anywhere between thirty degrees of latitudeand had to be carefully identified by hand.

Almost at once his eye encountered the "spoor" left by the preceding lad.
