How do knowledgeable hunters typically hunt?

1. By tracking individual animals

2. In open fields only

3. At the edge of ecotones

4. Near water sources exclusively

The correct answer is: At the edge of ecotones

Hunters rely on their knowledge of animal behavior, habitats and hunting techniques to be successful. While tracking individual animals may sometimes be part of the process, knowledgeable hunters typically plan their hunt according to the ecological boundaries, known as ecotones. This is where two different habitats meet and can be prime hunting grounds. While open fields and water sources can also be potential hunting locations, they are not the only options and may not always yield successful results. Therefore, knowledgeable hunters mainly focus on hunting in ecotones.
