Basile Bellefleur - The hunter makes use of the wind. You can't have the wind at your back when an animal is in front of you, because he'd smell you. That's why the hunter makes sure to walk into the wind: he uses the wind as an indicator of the distance between himself and the animal. In winter, the weather tells him when the caribou has been there. By relying on the weather over the last three days, he knows whether the tracks were made before, during or after the bad weather.
