Full potential
Moose hunter Michel Breton offers his services to the Nemrods to help them analyze their territory and find the most productive locations. Thanks to the IQHO (“Moose Habitat Quality Index”) maps available for the entire province, Michel has developed a scoring system using geometric ecoforestry maps from JLC. The species types, population density and height, age, disturbances, slope location, habitats that are close to each other, etc. are taken into account. To use its services, hunters send the coordinates of their area via Google Earth. Michel carries out the complete analysis and then communicates all the potential routes, the places to search and the hunting techniques. Write to [email protected] learn more.
