E-scouting food souces?

[Hunterscamera]

Looked around and didn't come across a thread about this specifically.

Just wondering if you guys are keeping an eye out while escouting for anything specific that'll give you an idea about food sources?

I seem to get a pretty clear idea about water, terrain, elevation etc when comparing escouting with boots on the ground. Just a little confused about what to look for in terms of food.

Are there any plants that get hammered at a certain elevation during a certain time of year? A plant that grows on certain facing slopes during October vs Sept that may entice elk out of cover?

Just wondering if I should be covering food during escouting as well as water

Elk are grazers so any open/semi- open areas because those are almost always covered in grass.

After listening to that you can learn more about most of those plants on this thread- https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/plants-every-mule-deer-hunter-should-know.395040/

Not sure how you verify any of them with e-scouting though

BBQ chips and beer.

Thanks will def give those a listen.

Not really expecting to verify through e scouting. Mainly wondering if these anything that make people pop down a pin to check out on the ground in relation to food souces.

Fair enough! Changed the title so hopefully that's clearer

In short… no. I hope that helps.

Edge territory, but also know that the vegetation phase is critical. Knowing that a certain type of vegetation existed at the time of the satellite image is not the same as saying that vegetation is present during your hunt window.
