Why following scavengers is the golden rule for finding Montana wildlife action
In short: Wildlife expert Casey Anderson reveals his strategy for locating activity in the Montana wilderness. By tracking ravens and magpies, he discovers how these birds act as natural indicators for animal remains, often leading to significant wildlife encounters.
In the Montana wilderness, Casey Anderson utilizes a specific method to find wildlife: observing scavengers. Because ravens and magpies are typically the first to locate a carcass, they serve as reliable guides for Anderson to find larger, hidden hauls of activity.
