In this episode of the Live Wild Podcast, Remi Warren shares his extensive knowledge on hunting, focusing on the importance of understanding feeding areas for various game animals. He discusses e-scouting techniques, species-specific feeding habits, and the role of agriculture in hunting success. The conversation emphasizes the need for hunters to analyze topography and use satellite imagery to identify potential feeding habitats, ultimately enhancing their chances of locating game animals. In this conversation, Remi Warren discusses the intricacies of evaluating deer and elk habitats, focusing on the importance of food sources, water availability, and microhabitats. He emphasizes the use of e-scouting tools to identify optimal hunting areas, highlighting the significance of understanding animal behavior and habitat needs. The discussion also covers grading hunting areas based on various factors, including accessibility and pressure from other hunters, to enhance the chances of a successful hunt.
