The deer drag of a tracker can last for hours. Trackers
venture deep into the big woods, on the trail of a mature buck,
wherever the track may roam. By necessity, trackers
become some of the most skilled navigational woodsmen on the
planet. The ones that don’t become skilled with a compass and TOPO
map, never came home. Joe DiNitto is a deer tracker and hunts
the Adirondacks of New York. He has been tracking big
bucks on snow for 30 years now, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing
down any time soon. Joe is patient and waits for those snow
days before stepping into the woods. This style of hunting doesn’t
require scouting, scent control, playing the wind, tree stands, or
moon phases, but it does require snow, a compass, a flashlight, and
preferably a GPS. Joe says the first step to shooting a big
mature buck using this method is finding the “Holy ______” buck
track. From there, it is a game of pursuit and persistence
and a pure disbelief in the word “can’t”. Joe shares numerous
stories in this interview and details what is important and
what is not.
