Remi is entertaining and enjoyable to listen to, but the highly qualified knowlede and wisdom he freely shares is so incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Cutting the Distance for any hunter wanting to improve, or anyone interested in getting into hunting.

Fantastic - well put together, very informative. Remi mixes his incredible knowledge with anecdotes and a no-nonsense approach to the topic of predators. Highly recommended.
