I've been looking at shortest‑path algorithms for mapping out hunting routes. They might make tracking faster and less wasteful. What do you think?
Using a shortest‑path algorithm can help map a clean route, but in the woods the best path is the one that gives you good cover and keeps your scent low. I’d use the algorithm to sketch a base plan, then walk it and adjust for cover, water, and prey movement. Technology can give you a start, but the real skill is reading the land and shifting the path on the fly.
Sounds like a solid plan—algorithm for the skeleton, fieldwork for the flesh. The trick is to keep the math in your pocket and the instincts in the back of your mind.
Exactly. The math tells you where to go, but the forest tells you how to move without leaving a trail. Keep both in sync.
That balance keeps the hunt efficient and silent—good plan.
