Quest: finding lost animal (spoiler)

[MrG]

How can I complete this quest? I was never able to solve it. I was able to find the animal track every time and followed it to where it ended (pretty sure it's the track of the quest animal because it's not very long), but when I lighted a fire on the last step of the track nothing happened. What steps did I miss?

I've only done a lost animal quest once, so I am in no way an expert. However I can think of 3.5 things that may have gone wrong, or needed to be done:

1. Is it really the last track?
2. Did you use the right material for the fire?
3. Did you wait?

The third one is important. I lit the fire, watched it burn out, and nothing happened. I waited a few minutes and then suddenly I saw the animal walking towards me.

And now for the .5. Is your character a jerk? I remember the shaman saying you had to have a good heart or something... not sure if that can really effect it.

Ahh... I guess I didn't wait long enough then. My character wasn't spiritual type either,  if that makes a difference.
