Go for it, Marcia, but I think Kate is right. Even if the Hurons were rotten trackers, and couldn't tell Hawkeye's and Chingachgook's moccassin tracks from their own, the girls' shoe tracks would have given them away. Give Michael Mann a break. What does he know about tracking? For that matter, what does he know about shooting a gun? On the cliff trail, Hawkeye has a gun in each hand, doesn't sight either of them, and hits two Hurons??? I don't think so. That was the scene that disturbed me the first time I saw it. Gee, maybe I'll have to watch the film again. I guess he could have hit them at point blank range. I don't remember how far from them he was...
