[narrow token]

But I wanna mount it in my lodge 🥲

[desert flower]

Get one of each rare

[narrow token]

14 rares and one should be a great one

[versed silo]

Damn

[narrow token]

I have a whole area for bengals I love them

[desert flower]

I'd rather have roe, elk, coyote, wt rework and red deer rework

Lion could use some love

[narrow token]

Why red deer? I think the spotted is dope enough

True lion doesn’t have much

[desert flower]

More racks

[narrow token]

His rack has like 4 sets

[desert flower]

Different foliage and such would be cool

[twin vine]

i’d love a great one on vurhonga. like maybe the buffalo or kudu, or wildebeest

[narrow token]

Yeah that’s true

That would be gas

[desert flower]

Does that mean good or bad

[narrow token]

Good lol

[desert flower]

Pff

[umbral abyss]

g1 wildbeest lowk would be cool

[narrow token]

Fr

[umbral abyss]

they could do alot

[desert flower]

Crowned is beautiful

[narrow token]

I wish they did grizzly over brown bear

[fringe sphinx]

im still dying for a G1 lion.

[umbral abyss]

a dawnbreak/butterscotch wildbeest would be cool

[twin vine]

i think wildebeest are probably one of my favourite species in the whole game to hunt

[desert flower]

Even just a lion rework would be very nice

[fringe sphinx]

id take anything lol

[twin vine]

yes! i find they look unrealistic. very simba-fied

[narrow token]

Tell me why water buffalo are such assholes though

[desert flower]

And look at how beautiful the newer models are, imagine how great the lions would look

[twin vine]

EXACTLY

[narrow token]

True

I need a g1 grey wolf

[twin vine]

i need a g1 everything

[narrow token]

Been grinding it for 8 hours now

[junior marsh]

So many times.... #🦌︴find-a-game

[umbral abyss]

i should keep grinding until new years so i can get my boar before i new game, but minecraft is taking over my brain rn

[desert flower]

Gonna have to spawn a tahr, mule, wolf and fox before they release g1 roe

[narrow token]

Hunt fallow deer

They have high diamond drops while grinding

And they look good

[umbral abyss]

...

[junior marsh]

#🦌︴find-a-game

Then no one is interested

[narrow token]

Who tf is this guy 😂

[umbral abyss]

i give it

10 minutes

[fringe sphinx]

well that wasnt necessary

[junior marsh]

No one here is looking. To find people you go to that channel. Which you've been told so many times my dude 😂

[fringe sphinx]

thats what i was thinking loool

[narrow token]

Ur a pain. How do you expect anyone to wanna play or help you if you act like your 5 cause nobody wants to play

[oak orbit]

💀💀

[narrow token]

That’s a great way to get people to wanna play with you

[twin basin]

dang

what happened here

[marsh haven]

Some dude wasnt being nice im assuming

[twin basin]

he wanted a guided hunt for a dimaond

[fringe sphinx]

Kid said something naughty and I guess everybody was waiting for somebody to rag on lol

[twin basin]

im js now reading it

[fringe sphinx]

Chat in a mood tonight

[twin basin]

fr

im js tryna get my g1 mule deer

im lik,e 800 kills in now

[fringe sphinx]

Hell yeah, I’m doing whitetail rn

Super early in

[twin basin]

nice

hopefully u get it soon

i did mule cuz its new and easy and its my first ever grind

[marsh haven]

A GUIDED HUNT IN COTW??

Didnt know those were a thing ngl

[proper leaf]

Anyone got a g1 fallow setup I can use mine don't work

[azure crag]

I do them rarely when I run into rare large game species, since I'm not interested in most class 5+ species.

[fringe sphinx]

Its basically just trophy donation lol, i dont know why people ask for it ever. New maps have at least A diamond on it.

[twin basin]

it doesnt feel the same

[marsh haven]

You order em?

[twin basin]

someone gets an animal and you pay to shoot it

[heavy cloak]

Dude I'm actually so tired of random American people making fun of me because I'm British and the first thing they do is make fun of British food . But because haggis hunter is that much of a nice guy he stopped them

[marsh haven]

Yo maybe i should get into this Guided hunt stuff. I have some good grizzly on my yukon.

[vague lichen]

We need a dog rework bro 🙏🙏

[twin basin]

guys i feel a g1 coming

im getting lots of spikes

[azure crag]

No like I host them if I happen to run into a rare large game species while hunting my preferred species, like for example if I stumble onto a Diamond Moose while Whitetail hunting in Layton, I'll let someone join my game and hunt that moose.

[fringe sphinx]

issue is that you're not allowed to trade/sell trophies though. Heavily against rules

[tawny dragon]

Are Badgers super hard Diamonds?

[azure crag]

I don't charge money for the hunt though. Gross.

[marsh haven]

How would one pay for a hunt tho

[granite timber]

What’s bestgun for fallow

[fringe sphinx]

ya dont, its a donation pretty much.

[tawny dragon]

Feels like every group has at least 1 Max weight Badger track to always be a Level 4

[marsh haven]

Interesting

[granite timber]

Seriously?

[marsh haven]

Bro i might like the 270 over the 10ga now...

[granite timber]

I like the air rifle but isn’t it bad

[azure crag]

Not for knockdown power, but for stealth. You can take your time and wipe out entire herds without spooking them with it lol.

[granite timber]

I’ll put it in my loadout. Thanks

[uneven tartan]

Just saw a lvl 3 roe! I cant believe i still cant find a lvl 5

:/

[marsh haven]

I might start a grizzly grind

[azure crag]

It's not bad, it's just high skill. Hitting shots beyond 100m takes practice with it unlike other rifles.

[marsh haven]

What guns do yall use for grizzlies?

[azure crag]

But, once you get good with the Air Rifle, you become a silent assassin.

[fringe sphinx]

i wish i still knew how to shoot lol, now i just have the confidence of a good shot and not the skill. ive messed up so many trophies

[azure crag]

Unironically the 10ga slug, because I only shoot them when they charge me.

[azure crag]

That's what the shooting range is for!

[twin basin]

im trying it rn

[marsh haven]

Ahh, good mannnn

Ima get the 308 probably

[twin basin]

js killed one

dang mule deer is too big for it

[azure crag]

Yeah I forget Mules are class 5 and pop them with it occasionally too 😆

[twin basin]

its fun too

that sucks

[uneven tartan]

Have ya'll ever seen a lvl 5 roe? Ig they are just super rare ???

[azure crag]

I'm playing around with whether the .45 can be used to brain class 9s like the .22 can. The air rifle brains moose no problem, but haven't run into a class 9 to try it yet.

[fringe sphinx]

they only go up to lvl 3

[uneven tartan]

oh shi

[azure crag]

Roe Deer stop at 3, you've been eyeing the keepers lmao

[uneven tartan]

then i saw a diamond!!

[twin basin]

go to srp and find bison

[uneven tartan]

Huh?

[azure crag]

Potential diamond*

[uneven tartan]

yeah faur

fair

[azure crag]

That's what I did for the .22lr lmao

[muted current]

thats so cool

[twin basin]

i love the moradi

[azure crag]

Gonna do this to a Diamond or Rare bison when I find it just to rage bait. 😆

[granite timber]

Anyone know why this setup is struggling to have fallow coming in?

[marsh haven]

Yo i might get the Hunter Power Pack

[granite timber]

.308 is nice

7MM is too

[azure crag]

You could be spooking them when you fast travel in with your tents being that close

[granite timber]

Where do you recommend I put them?

OH MY GOD

IM AN IDIOT

[twin basin]

250 yards

[granite timber]

Fallow deer don’t drink at 6-10

[azure crag]

I keep my primary travel tents at least 200m from the need zone, sometimes 250m. I do occasionally put a "harvest" tent nearer to their need zones to collect them after shooting. I put my Tripods 200-300m out as well, but that's purely because I like to snipe. You can set them up around 150m out and you should be good.

[granite timber]

Okay

I’ll edit it

[marsh haven]

338s in it too right?

[azure crag]

Traveling to tents and getting into structure makes a lot of noise so you can't be sneaky about it, sadly. Gotta give 'em space so they feel safe when you shoot them. 😂

[granite timber]

Indeed

[granite timber]

Aight

[marsh haven]

Is 338 good or nah?

[granite timber]

It’s a good 7-9

[marsh haven]

Aight

[muted current]

i like 300 more

[marsh haven]

300 is good

[granite timber]

Yeah

The canning

[south igloo]

aryzyna beter

[azure crag]

.300 is my favorite "that thing over the horizon needs to die, and it needs to die yesterday" gun.

[marsh haven]

The 3030 you get from askiy holds a special place in my heart tho

[azure crag]

Yeah? IRL I have a lot of respect for the 30-30, it's been my only deer rifle caliber since I was 9yo. I haven't given it much love in game though.

[marsh haven]

I have only used 30 06 and 6mm irl

For hunting at least

Well I use 22. Also

[azure crag]

My grandfather taught me how to shoot with what is now my lever action Marlin 30-30 that is about twice my age. The bastard would put a fake round in with the real ones to catch whether I was flinching on the trigger pull, and wouldn't let me leave until I stopped flinching and hit the red cap from a milk jug at 150yds. Good times.

[granite timber]

Someone on TikTok lied and said they drink from 6-10

I’m pissed 😭

[granite timber]

6.5mm creedmoor if fun

[muted current]

they used to right?

[granite timber]

Maybe

I dunno

[azure crag]

On the bright side, the need zone itself will tell you what their drink time is 😆

[heavy cloak]

My friend just called me saying that they killed a great one and they showed me a peibald moose

[marsh haven]

Man ive never killed a G1 in my life 😭

[heavy cloak]

Same

[muted current]

piebalds do look good tho

[azure crag]

Next large game G1 I see, I'll hold for you.

[zinc sierra]

Is the fur type of ginger split rare for a wood bison?

[woven ferry]

you too close to the zones on fast travelling in

[cobalt spear]

Common

[zinc sierra]

thx

[marsh haven]

Wym?

[azure crag]

Common but FAR less common than light brown. If you get a good one and you like it, keep it.

[hardy solar]

Which birds have the grounded rating?

[azure crag]

I'm a small game hunter. Large game like moose and bear do absolutely nothing to me, but I do enjoy braining them and very rarely will spawn a G1 of a large species I don't care for. If I'm grinding whitetail for instance, I also grind Moose just for easy money. If, in the process of doing that, I spawn a G1 Moose, I'll hold it for you to hunt. We're both on Playstation so you can jump in my Map and hunt.

[azure crag]

By this do you mean which birds can be hunted while grounded?

[hardy solar]

which birds must be hunted in the air

[cobalt spear]

Ptarmigan, quail, and pheasant

[azure crag]

What he said.

[hardy solar]

thanks

[cobalt spear]

Except red grouse for whatever reason

[granite timber]

Yeah

So well

[azure crag]

Grouse of any kind can be grounded

[granite timber]

There’s a huge fallow deer on that zone

It’s

244-286

What’s their diamond again?

[muted current]

dang

149

249

[azure crag]

Almost definitely a diamond.

[muted current]

my best one rn is a 253 to 294

[marsh haven]

Ooooo

[granite timber]

Woah…

[azure crag]

If it trolls you I'll eat my hat.

[pliant harness]

can someone help me I’m setting up my boar grind and none of them are coming to the feeders. Does it take time for them to find them or am I just not setting it up right?

[granite timber]

Okay

I’m gonna get a shot lined up

[muted current]

is it in your main zone?

[twin spindle]

do we have an approx when they will fix the duck bug?

or if they are even working on it

[junior marsh]

It's the holidays my dude. They aren't in office right now

[granite timber]

Don’t know

[muted current]

the two ponds is a main zone

[nimble sequoia]

.30-30 APPERCIATION DETECTED

[pliant harness]

can someone help me with this?

[nimble sequoia]

I COMMEND YOU SIR

[marsh haven]

3030 easily top 3 deer guns in and out of game

[azure crag]

Yeah bud I got you. Feeders have a ~400m attraction radius and won't work unless there are boar within range. Have you got it set up near some need zones for the species you're after, and if so, what feeder specifically are you using, and what bait type?

[random pulsar]

I'm looking for the great one for red deer, I shoot the 5 half-sizes

[cobalt niche]

So I have a 235-275 buck should I shoot it?

[pliant harness]

i’m using the barrel with the mash feed and i have 3 set up
but most times i set up somewhere there no boar

[azure crag]

If you're looking for G1 specifically, you should probably be shooting all bucks.

[cobalt niche]

So I have a 235-275 buck should I shoot it?

[azure crag]

You need to use the Post Feeder with Multigrain Flake.

The Barrel Feeder will attract many species of hog, but not wild boar specifically.

[azure crag]

Always shoot good bucks if you're diamond grinding, and if you're G1 grinding specifically, all males are game.

[fringe sphinx]

anyone know how to fix main zones that only have 1's and tiny 2's for whitetail grinds??

[granite timber]

IT TROLLED

NO WAYYYY

247

[peak notch]

Lvl 3 wt?

[azure crag]

Shoot the worst bucks in your main zone and find some good bucks in exterior zones you don't care for. With any luck on respawn they'll swap places.

[fringe sphinx]

cheers! thank you

[azure crag]

Dammit now I gotta eat my hat.

[granite timber]

Ong that’s so bad

[pliant shoal]

Hat not edible

[peak notch]

That wouldn’t taste good

[pliant shoal]

What if I put it in hotsauce

[muted current]

thats crazy

[fossil chasm]

Just found a bug, idk if it's new or not

Pulled up my item wheel to select a gun and after I selected it my item just vanished from my screen

Couldn't use it or anyone

[muted current]

press H

[pliant shoal]

What do you play on?

[fossil chasm]

Steam kbm

[pliant shoal]

Ah

Whatever button it is to put away a weapon or equippable item you hold it and it pulls the gun back out

[raw flint]

Can someone tell me how do I stop getting death zones so I can get a great one by using some methods

[peak notch]

Wait yeah

[pliant shoal]

Use tripods

[muted current]

use a tripod

[pliant shoal]

Or duckblinds

[fossil chasm]

I have no clue what button that is, but why would it put away my item when I try to use the item wheel

[muted current]

H

its H

[pliant shoal]

Thats how EW is with bugs🤷

They dont pay much mind to minor issues

[azure crag]

Managed to finally swap a male out of my all-male herd for a female. One more to go.

[fossil chasm]

Smh

[pseudo kelp]

Hello does anyone play on PlayStation

[fringe sphinx]

this image looks like actual deer pictures i take lol

[pliant shoal]

Hopefully that doesnt make 5 extra zones

Shooting does love playing funny games like that

[azure crag]

I've had great success only shooting 1 doe at a time in any given herd to prevent splitting!

[pliant shoal]

Ive shot 1 in 4k kills and it still made 4 zones

[peak notch]

Ts happened to me too

[pliant shoal]

All male zones are fine to grind btw

Ive spawned 5 wt out of zones like that

[twin spindle]

Even females?

[pliant shoal]

After shooting 4 does

[azure crag]

Bucks...

[twin spindle]

Ah

Well g1 afaik is separate rng of itself so

[pseudo kelp]

I’m on PlayStation can anyone give me a dlc map

[pliant shoal]

Not really, its just based on shooting males of that species you’re hunting

[azure crag]

...give you a DLC map?

[junior marsh]

Rules my guy

[patent basin]

Don't Beg

Please do not ask other users to buy you DLC, donate, give you money, etc.

[pseudo kelp]

Ya I don’t have any monny to buy one and I’m new to the game

[pseudo kelp]

Sorry I don’t know

[twin spindle]

Well, is this just an assumption or 🤔

[azure crag]

It's a bit different. A trivial male whitetail can't respawn as a Diamond on a single respawn but it could respawn as a G1. That's why it's generally alright to pop them all for G1 grinding specifically.

[pseudo kelp]

Is there any way to get free dlc without paying?????

[twin spindle]

So that'd be just bruteforcing numbers to trigger g1?

[junior marsh]

No lol

[pliant shoal]

No, its multiple years of data backing it up, and common sense kinda, males respawn as males and females respawn as females

[twin spindle]

Without even caring about levels.

[azure crag]

It's not possible to give or trade maps. Do you mean to ask for someone to host an online MP session so you can play on a DLC map?

[azure crag]

More or less. More respawn = faster G1, to dumb it down.

[pseudo kelp]

So I have a question I’m new and I was wondering what free map is the best to hunt and progress fast on ceep in mind I have no dlc because I’m poor

[twin spindle]

The better question is what triggered the g1 though.

We do know if we bruteforce numbers we eventually get it, but not particularly what triggered it during it.

[fringe sphinx]

This dude has been baiting and making obviously wild statements all night, so be prepared to argue for 30 minutes with zero results or a single coherent answer.

[pliant shoal]

Nothing that we know of, its all rng

[azure crag]

Hunting and harvesting a ton of the same species is all you need to worry about. HARVEST them though. No leaving their corpse and reloading lol

[pseudo kelp]

So I have a question I’m new and I was wondering what free map is the best to hunt and progress fast on ceep in mind I have no dlc because I’m poor

[pliant shoal]

Layton lakes

[twin spindle]

The free maps are layton lakes and hirschkeflenden something

[pseudo kelp]

Ok we’re do I hunt on there

[azure crag]

It's an incredibly small chance to spawn based on kills and Harvests. That's all I can tell you, and knowing more won't make it any more efficient.

[cobalt spear]

Open areas

Which is like majority of the maps

[pseudo kelp]

Ok

[pliant shoal]

Around water sources is the best to find animals

[pseudo kelp]

Ok ty

[azure crag]

Go to Layton Lakes and walk the big, long rivers running north and south of the map and you'll see animals everywhere. Deer, moose, ducks, turkey. Lots of targets.

[pseudo kelp]

I wish I had the monny to get that one map were there is a lot of fellas

[azure crag]

Fallow?

[pseudo kelp]

Ok

I meant to say fields

[azure crag]

Hirschfelden has Fields aplenty.

[pseudo kelp]

One of those maps where there’s a bunch of fields

[twin spindle]

Keep in mind that the left side is for fallow deer and right side is for blacktail deer @pseudo kelp so hunt whichever one you like more

[azure crag]

Whitetail*

[twin spindle]

It is divided in 2 halves.

[pseudo kelp]

I never see fields in that map

[twin spindle]

Yeah whitetail sorry*

[azure crag]

Look at the map itself, you'll see lots of brown spots. Those are fields.

[pseudo kelp]

Oh, the brown spots are filled. I thought that was water sources.

[azure crag]

Nope, hay fields!

[twin spindle]

water sources are always blue

[pseudo kelp]

@azure crag I think there is a different map that has fields to a bunch of like a farming fields. I want that one. I think it’s like England or something

[pseudo kelp]

Ok

[twin spindle]

salzweisen park!

Only class 1/2 though.

[twin spindle]

Salzweisen park has a few places where its literally tractors fields and hay. And corn.

[azure crag]

Salzwiesen Park, but it only has class 1 and 2 animals. It's my favorite map for that reason but if you're a fan of hunting anything larger than a fox, it's not for you.

[twin spindle]

So check that one out.

[pseudo kelp]

I seen Kendall Gray that one YouTuber he was playing this map where there’s a bunch of fields and he’ll hunt deer and moose and stuff and he would put feeders in tree stamps. I don’t know what the Maps called, but I want it.

[twin spindle]

Well just know that you dont need dlcs to play those maps.

[pseudo kelp]

I would check it out, but I have no way of getting it

[twin spindle]

You can play them in multiplayer.

So you do not need the dlc's.

The only reason you buy dlc map is if you plan to grind on it.

[pseudo kelp]

Yeah, I know you don’t need a DLC but every time I go multiplayer, I see something good and someone snips it from a distance and I have the starter gun with the starter free bullets and it’s so hard to kill him

[twin spindle]

If you do not plan to grind, singleplayer is less fun.

For the same effectiveness.

[undone wadi]

Guys for some wierd reason i cant harvest my turkey

[azure crag]

Learn how to actually play the game in Single-player, then branch out to MP!

[twin spindle]

The ranger .243 is not a particularly bad gun.

[fringe sphinx]

I wish COTW released more free elements. Its so hard to get my buddies into this game because 90% of the games content has to be bought to play it by yourself or even have decent guns.

[twin spindle]

It is objectively bad, yes. But it has free ammo and is free.

[pseudo kelp]

What does starter bullets I can’t even penetrate to the lungs like it shows. I hit straight where the lungs should be, but it won’t penetrate.

[twin spindle]

Depends what you're shooting at

The free gun is iirc 2-6 class.

So anything above will struggle.

Even some in the class.

[pseudo kelp]

Ok. What’s a good gun to buy like? With that’s cheap but works for a lot of things.

[twin spindle]

Weapon dlc you mean?

[pseudo kelp]

Out of every DLC I want I want like a DLC that will give me the most more guns I can unlock

[undone wadi]

honestly i use that gun to but if you wanna go after like bison which I think your going after you have to get polymor bullets to get a chance

[twin spindle]

Frost .257 is arguably the best 2-6 gun right now.

Then all you would need is to fill 7-9 and class 1

Virant .22lr is objectively the best class 1 gun right now.

[pseudo kelp]

What’s the best DLC to get that will give you a bunch of guns

[twin spindle]

Technically speaking, to fit a wide range of variety but only 1 dlc woild probably be the zarza rifles

Which i believe is modern rifles pack or along those lines

But.. those arent best guns

They do good.

Best for big game is always .300 arzyna or .375 vallgarda

[pseudo kelp]

OK, how much does it cost cause if it cost over five dollars I won’t be able to get it

[twin spindle]

Best for 2-6 is always frost .257

And best cor class 1 is always virant 22lr

[azure crag]

You're missing your shots. Even the free starter ammo can drop deer at any range.

[twin spindle]

And best for shotgun is always cacciatore 12g

But you could use strandberg 10ga because it can fit classes 1 and 2 too

[peak notch]

Best for 2-3 really 4-8 is .30-06 or 7mm

[pliant shoal]

Rapid hunt rifle pack

[pseudo kelp]

How much does it cost cause if it’s over five dollars I won’t be able to get it

[pliant shoal]

I think its 4-5

[twin spindle]

I love the 7mm but my .257 and 7mm drop the same for say class 5 either way

Both will double lung afaik.

[pseudo kelp]

OK, I wish I would add more guns to four people who don’t have DLC’s

[peak notch]

Yeah but it’s more powerful lol

[twin spindle]

So no reason for him go get more guns to fill a niche.

[pliant shoal]

There’s a base game 7mm

[azure crag]

Despite popular opinion the DLC guns aren't just outright better than non-DLC options. You can do absolutely fine with any rifle.

[twin spindle]

22lr, .257 and .300 or .375 will let him play any map any game any class.

[pliant shoal]

I wouldnt get the 375

[twin spindle]

The regent

But it still costs money.

[pliant shoal]

Id get the arzyna over the 375

[flat lotus]

Is cinnamon rare for brown bear?

[pliant shoal]

Better than irl cash

[pliant shoal]

No

[woven ferry]

the 7mm base game gun is brilliant

[twin spindle]

Weird coming from someone with your nick.

[woven ferry]

36k aint much

get that in about 10 mins doing it right

[twin spindle]

Ur forgetting the guy is new.

5k is a lot to him.

[woven ferry]

even still ...isnt too long to get it

[undone wadi]

guys i have 12k what should i spend it on

[pliant shoal]

Yeah, you have a buy a map to get the best gun in game (canning) rather than the arzyna you get it right after you buy the pack

[twin spindle]

Tents.

[pliant shoal]

Tents are 16k

[undone wadi]

what will i do with em tho

ik u can tp

but like

[twin spindle]

Setup grinds.

Enegame meta is buying tents feeders and tripods mounts etc.

Endgame*

[pliant shoal]

Use them to set up near areas with a lot of animals to help build cash a bit faster

[twin spindle]

What else would there be?

[undone wadi]

i saw a video saying to buy a scope

its like 4-8x

[pliant shoal]

Hyperion

[grizzled ledge]

heller

[twin spindle]

Hyperion is enough

[pliant shoal]

The hyperion is good if you dont have the odin

[twin spindle]

Argus for when ur better.

[fringe sphinx]

keller?

[grizzled ledge]

yurrrr

[twin spindle]

I was talking about arzyna, no reason to buy the canning .300 when arzyna .300 exists.

[azure crag]

If you're having trouble with the starter ammo you're likely shooting too far forward and hitting the shoulder. You can't break through bone with soft ammo, but even at long range you can penetrate lungs and drop deer quickly. Aim further back from the foreleg, like this, and you'll drop them. Frontal shots are too risky.

[undone wadi]

guys for some weird reason i shot a turkey but like i cant see the page that show you where u hit and what color and stuff

[twin spindle]

However arent you supposed to be arzyna hater? Judging by your nick.

[pliant shoal]

Canning is still better than the arzyna for certain grinds🤷

[twin spindle]

Elaborate.

[pliant shoal]

Less bullet drop and slightly better velocity

For moose you’re only shooting 1 per zone and with bear the less bullet drop and better velocity helps

[azure crag]

... Arzyna shoots out to render range with very little drop. It's got some of the best ballistics of any rifle

[grizzled ledge]

what level should i be before starting to grind for diamonds etc?

[pliant shoal]

Arzyna drops 5 inches more than the canning at 300meters when zeroed to 150

[twin spindle]

That would mean that arzyna has sh*t velocity and bullet drop.

Which is not true. Arzyna fires pretty much linear to the render distance.

[pliant shoal]

Canning has virtually no drop whatsoever

[twin spindle]

You can set zero to 300 on a arzyna and aim at a 410m deer on the bullseye

It will hit where you aimed.

[woven ferry]

looks at name

[twin spindle]

Neither does arzyna, in practice.

[azure crag]

Oh dammit now I'm loading up Hirsch.

[pliant shoal]

Arzyna bullet drop

Canning bullet drop

[twin spindle]

In fact, this is why people prefer .300 arzyna over .375 for 300+ range.

[peak notch]

Canning is innately lame cause it’s a ar anyway

[twin spindle]

Because it has better ballistics.

[peak notch]

Who is people lmfao

[pliant shoal]

375 bullet drop

[woven ferry]

people are arguing with a person whos name is arzyna hater 😂

[azure crag]

I've compared the .300 Arzyna to the .375 and it absolutely does, but I've never compared the .300 Arszyna to another .300.

[pliant shoal]

Practice doesnt change the fact it has more bullet drop built in🙊

[peak notch]

Maybe at the end of the day he is right 😔

[woven ferry]

i discussed it with him other night even offered the video i made proving it was wrong

[pliant shoal]

I have 70k harvest with the canning for a reason🫩

[twin spindle]

Also, i didnt test but doesnt canning have worse windups and animations?

[peak notch]

Zacky #1 player in the universe

[twin spindle]

Kinda like 375.

[pliant shoal]

Definitely not😭

[peak notch]

You’re 67% better than 99% of players

[pliant shoal]

It has a slower reload by roughly .43 seconds

[azure crag]

Oh the Canning is a bolt action!

I love bolt actions. I might shelve the Arzyna just for that fact alone.

[peak cosmos]

based

[twin spindle]

Arzyna just does better overall because nothing beats its ballistics and no windup.

I mean, its an AR. So yeah.

[pliant shoal]

I love bolt actions aswell, and the sound of the canning, I pair the canning with the 303 british all the time and its a great combo

[azure crag]

Extreme bias isn't a good foundation for sound arguments 😂

[peak notch]

Ar ≠ good

[twin spindle]

I meant because of no windup.

[woven ferry]

but a video proving all the points does help

🤣

[pliant shoal]

What would you mean by windup, like chambering a round?

[marsh haven]

Buddy this aint baseball😭

[pliant shoal]

Proving what? And did I get my shoutout🥹

[woven ferry]

if i remember i will give you a shout out in a video soon

[pliant shoal]

Awh man, I thought you had my name written down on a sheet😔

[fringe sphinx]

COTW discord moment

[woven ferry]

oh you changed your name again

[azure crag]

Gotta disagree there bud, I'm the one that did ballistics comparisons with the Arzyna but I compared it to the .375, not another. 300. While the Arzyna does have excellent performance out to render range and can absolutely headshot a mink at 400m, that doesn't mean a different .300 can't do it better. And since it can basically ignore Zeroing, that free perk slot could be fun to mess with.

[woven ferry]

i did have it writ down

[pliant shoal]

I did🙂‍↕️

[twin spindle]

Yes, the whole time spent before you can realistically fire back where you were aiming again, including the recoil.

[marsh haven]

The Arzyna is fast and I like that.

[pliant shoal]

I mean I do just fine with the practice you were talking about which makes the arzyna have “no bullet drop”?

[fringe sphinx]

arent you a grown ass dude, why do you have names written down for discord beef. I hope this isnt serious. 🤣

[marsh haven]

But, nothing can beat the 270 for me

[woven ferry]

it was to give them a shout out in a video

[pliant shoal]

I wish the 270 got a buff, super weak compared to the irl counterpart saldy

[woven ferry]

there was four people but hes one whos changed his name

[vague lichen]

That's what they all say

[marsh haven]

The 270 can kill bear if you aim lungs. But im using 30 06 rn for grizzly

[azure crag]

And while they're at it, buff buckshot too.

[woven ferry]

fishing is strong again its that time of night 😂

[marsh haven]

I cant wait for the summer to fly fish irl

[twin spindle]

Obviously all weapons have some bullet drop, but name me one grind where canning having that slightly less drop (at the cost of being bolt action and windups) is just superior?

[fringe sphinx]

For what? Just cause.

[pliant shoal]

Yes, there are many different types of ammo that need buffs

[twin spindle]

Most grinds will be 300m~ sniping max.

If you just zero the arzyna to 300 and aim at the bullseye, it will hit just about that. Its not as severe as 375 for example.

[azure crag]

To be fair they did specify earlier that the canning was superior for specific grinds. Not all grinds.

[woven ferry]

these kinda hunting games i cover

[twin spindle]

I dont even zero the arzyna actually

I shoot the 300m range with 150m zeroing.

Really makes no difference on any animal big enough to be ethical for it.

[fringe sphinx]

I don’t think that answered my question but I’ll take it anyway

[woven ferry]

i dont thats the funny thing once you know the drop you dont even think about it so the drop is irrelevant

[pliant shoal]

Moose because you only shoot 1 per zone and also bear for some far shots where you can aim directly at them and only need to account for bullet travel time rather than bullet travel time and bullet drop

[fringe sphinx]

God I am having the toughest time getting these little deer out of my shooter ponds

[pliant shoal]

You’d never believe it but… this is the difference in bullet drop between the arzyna and 375

[twin spindle]

Both shots would hit the lung the same.

Of any animal that requirss tbose guns to grind.

[fringe sphinx]

theyre almost the exact same, at that point its just down to preference.

[vague lichen]

Just hunt with the bow guys it's better

[azure crag]

Arzyna is accurate enough at 300m without any zeroing to lung shot without any aim adjustment, but the Canning can heart shot under the same conditions, essentially. That's pretty nifty. Whether or not it's outright better will depend on taste, but as a 400m shooter that difference is enough for me to spend 75k on the canning. Gonna headshot a Pheasant with it at 420m.

[fringe sphinx]

hell yeah

[azure crag]

.45 Cylcone*

[twin spindle]

Well you were doing it with .45 and 22lr so i dont think you need canning eitherway.

[peak cosmos]

grinding discourse 😂 imagine

[marsh haven]

I mainly bow hunt irl and in game

[azure crag]

Touché

[pliant shoal]

Pretty much and this is the cannings bullet drop, its a fair bit different

[azure crag]

Why would they name the app Discord if they didn't want Discord to happen lol

[twin spindle]

Now apply the same bullseye to a moose's lung for both guns at even maximum render range, guess what happens? Same thing.

[fringe sphinx]

well what the heck are we even bickering about here? this is just an argument to argue lol.

[twin spindle]

You do not need to account for arzyna bullet drop when doing grind

For one simple reason

The animals you use arzyna to grind are big enough organs

[pliant shoal]

Why hit lung when I can hit heart due to the virtually non existent bullet drop🤔

[twin spindle]

To not care about a worse bullet drop by a fraction.

[peak notch]

No guns bullet drop is even bad… for the most part

[twin spindle]

Because both are effectively instakills with both guns. Or 20 yards delay.

[peak cosmos]

youve explained this to him like hes a baby like 4 times now i think we're on the same page bro

[woven ferry]

in cotw the bullet drop isnt bad on anything really

[pliant shoal]

Just sparked when I said the canning does better at some things than the arzyna🤷

[pliant shoal]

They run for almost 80 meters to a single lung rather than 10 meters to heart…

[peak cosmos]

dado likes to hear himself talk

[fringe sphinx]

lmfao, im trying to be the better person because ive been biting my tongue about this guy all night. But hes literally been doing this all afternoon.

every single little match so far has always had him in it.

[peak cosmos]

oh its been like this for the better part of a week now

he likes to run his mouth

[pliant shoal]

Who?

[peak cosmos]

the guy youve been arguing with

[fringe sphinx]

Dado

[pliant shoal]

Oh

[peak cosmos]

hes online more often than carrion these days which is really saying something

[twin spindle]

Canning needs to have same or better windup time than arzyna tho to make it relevant for me, otherwise whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️

[pliant shoal]

Moving along from the bullet drop ig, what should I grind when I get home

[peak cosmos]

welcome to discord. how was school

[woven ferry]

just use what you enjoy

[twin spindle]

Blacktail if u didnt yet

[peak cosmos]

are you enjoying your winter break

[twin spindle]

Because yes.

[fringe sphinx]

Im pretty sure hes blocked me though, at the very least not interested in fighting with me.

not sure how ya'll have been bickering with a wannabe intellect for a week, i can hardly take tonight kekw.

[peak notch]

I’m just in g1s chat dw

[pliant shoal]

I dont have too much of a reason to grind them aside from a super rare maybe

[woven ferry]

bonus dime from wolf hunting pressure clearance

[twin spindle]

Well they dont have a g1 eitherway, so yes.

[fringe sphinx]

heeeck yeah, favorite duck species on the game.

[peak cosmos]

ive been with my family for the most part thank god

[woven ferry]

had a albino earlier too. great bonus

[azure crag]

No no, my ballistics comparison was for beyond 300m. The Arzyna will still barely hit target at 400m with 150m zero, but the .375 drops off completely.

And even at 300m zero, the .375 drops significantly compared to the Arzyna. Try it.

[twin spindle]

You really think of me too much, one would assume you have a crush.

[fringe sphinx]

awww so you havent blocked me. You're too kind

maybe i do

[peak cosmos]

holy ew

[fringe sphinx]

lmfao

sorry

[twin spindle]

Well, I find no reason to block people for being rude and mean, I can do that too.

[peak notch]

Ballright 💔

[pliant shoal]

The 375 does seem to drop faster once it hits a certain distance compared to the arzyna

I wish we had ballistics gel in this game

[fringe sphinx]

im not bothered, everything ive said is pretty on the mark.

[peak notch]

I love jello

[fringe sphinx]

get the pun, because we've been talking about guns or whatever

[twin spindle]

Absolutely spot on, you go queen!

[peak cosmos]

murr isn't the only one you might wanna do some self reflection

[azure crag]

I have tried repeatedly to clarify that I was comparing the 300 and 375 for beyond 300 meter shots but it keeps falling on deaf ears. Thank you for being the first to acknowledge that distinction 😭 😆

[pliant shoal]

Ill give you car detailing putty

[peak notch]

Yay!

[twin spindle]

Yeah .375 is pretty bad at range. I hate it actually at anything past 250m realistically.

[pliant shoal]

I use the 150m zero to 300m generally because thats usually your average distance you’ll shoot at when grinding

[twin basin]

im almost at 1k kills on my mule deer g1 grind

[fringe sphinx]

LOL!

[pliant shoal]

And because 150m zero is base zeroing without perks

[marsh haven]

Yall should I hunt some gemsbok?

[woven ferry]

should name change him to .375 fan tbh

😁

[pliant shoal]

Gemsbok are my favorite vurhonga species

[peak cosmos]

hell yea

[twin spindle]

Most of the times you can't always get good LoS so you have to go closer to avoid trees or foliage eitherway. But I think my average range for grinds is 250m.

[peak cosmos]

best animal on vurhonga

[pliant shoal]

Good idea

Here we go

[azure crag]

And that's fair, I main the .45 Air Rifle and shoot at 200m minimum so I'm a bit of an outlier in that regard. I specifically look at performances of rifles outside of typical shooting ranges.

[peak cosmos]

you should try doin it with the hudzik if you own it

[fringe sphinx]

absolutely loooove seeing a big gemsbok roaming around. My male diamond is probably one of my favorite trophies of all time.

[marsh haven]

Yeah ive got it

[peak cosmos]

thats sweet, i only have a rare female

[twin spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/timbersshivered-yikers-gif-23072365

[peak cosmos]

shes a beige i think

[twin spindle]

I choose to not be mean just because she is a woman. So I won't.

[fringe sphinx]

Beige is a color they come in? i thought it was blond. or maybe im wrong i havent had a rare gems in a long time

[peak cosmos]

accidentally fire reacted myself

[peak cosmos]

for gemsbok theres two similar rares, beige and gold, but i don't think they come in blond

[azure crag]

burn baby burn

[fringe sphinx]

ohhh yeah gold was totally it. Not sure what rare animal im thinking of that comes in blonde.

[peak cosmos]

so noble

[pliant shoal]

Black bear?

[fringe sphinx]

wowww beige is gorgeous

[fringe sphinx]

i think so!

[peak cosmos]

i was gonna say mule deer maybe

but they're not rare

lions come in blonde

[pliant shoal]

I forgot lions existed

[peak cosmos]

what a beautiful life you live

[fringe sphinx]

LOL the name switch, i love you for that.

[twin spindle]

Arzyna hater is racist, but canning glazer is vety diplomatic.

[pliant shoal]

I grinded them for an albino a long time ago then never touched them again

[peak cosmos]

what?

[peak cosmos]

many such cases

[fringe sphinx]

probably shouldnt have made me chuckle, but it did.

[twin spindle]

@pliant shoal do you happen to know an average of distance across your grinds?

[peak cosmos]

i do not want a lion til their manes get fixed lol

[twin spindle]

For all zones i mean.

[pliant shoal]

280m

[peak cosmos]

maybe a female rare actually

[pliant shoal]

Roughly

[marsh haven]

I love the grandpa in Vurhonga lol

[fringe sphinx]

or.... you can get them now and have beautiful lions when the redo comes along. stonks

[peak cosmos]

but im not grinding for that

[twin spindle]

Yeah thats reasonable.

[peak cosmos]

buy the dip

[fringe sphinx]

i need to get back on my SR lion grind, i miss those nasty looking creatures.

[peak cosmos]

a rare lioness would look kinda fire in my lodge tho... hmm

[thorn rune]

What is better, the solohkin or the 7.62x35?

[marsh haven]

If only they had elephants on vurhonga..

[pliant shoal]

7.62x35

[twin spindle]

I need to get either a mountain lion or a puma for my blacktail multi, but unsure which one looks cooler with it.

[fringe sphinx]

ugh i almost got a legit albino lioness on multiplayer but it was during the crazy desync, killed it but never got to pick her up. wouldve completed my all albino royalty multimount

[peak cosmos]

this is true but the solokhin is sexier

[marsh haven]

Could yall imagine getting charged at by an elephant on Vurhonga?

Or another africa map?

[twin spindle]

Did you check if server was modded though? I play mostly multiplayer outside of my grinds because I won't be buying maps anytime soon, and hard to know if trophies are modded if they are being subtle with it.

[peak cosmos]

hell no

[fringe sphinx]

i want baboons and hyenas more than elephants

[peak cosmos]

oh my god murr you are so based tonight

[azure crag]

Alright I'm bandwagoning the hell out of the name change.

[fringe sphinx]

i did quite a bit of hunting beforehand and it all looked real, nothing fishy! i always get angry when i think about it.

[marsh haven]

If I got charged by an elephant on Vurhonga I would start runnin lol

Although, the Strandberg 10ga SA would probably drop em instantly

[twin spindle]

Happens, there will always be next time.

[azure crag]

Pls 🙏 and make them class 3/4

i will forgive you if you greenlight 15 different antelope for me

[marsh haven]

Im good

[peak cosmos]

bar elephants from entry

[twin spindle]

Since we are mentioning lame animals, maybe a hot take but coyotes seem lame to me, even though I have a decent gold piebald one.

[fringe sphinx]

k,ml

[azure crag]

All the more reason to shoot them now that I think about it

[peak cosmos]

i wish they werent as ugly

they'e only lame cause they look like mangy dogs

imagine if they were on par with todays canid models

[twin spindle]

Its not that they are ugly, but they lack uniqueness, they look like worse foxes.

[azure crag]

They're elusive and annoying to hunt. I'm not a fan of them on Layton, if there's a desert map with them I might give them a run though.

[peak cosmos]

hear me out bro

[twin spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/he-knows-oh-gif-10684016

[peak cosmos]

everyone hated on wolves til they fixed them up

[twin spindle]

I agree, I just shoot them anytime i stumble upon them, i will definitely not farm them anytime soon though.

Foxes are also painful to manage, but they at least look good.

[peak cosmos]

i like coyotes, great animal, they're challenging and thats what makes them fun

[fringe sphinx]

if you want real nightmare fuel go look at the current jackal models. theyre nasty!

[cobalt niche]

I have 26 grand what rifle should I buy or what should I buy

[peak cosmos]

could be improved by a remodel

[peak cosmos]

oh god dont remind me

[azure crag]

What scopes you got?

[cobalt niche]

The starter scope

[azure crag]

Get a better scope.

It'll do more for you than a rifle.

[cobalt niche]

K

[peak cosmos]

coyotes would easily mog foxes if they were remodeled

[fringe sphinx]

theres so many little (kind of) things that could be added to vurhonga that would instantly increase its uniqueness. I love the map but im always saddened by the wasted potential.

[twin spindle]

Well, even in real life, foxes do look majestic.

[azure crag]

The Hyperion is a good one, and the Argus is a must have if you want to hunt small game at 400m.

You can customize the crosshairs as well.

[fringe sphinx]

always prefer a good fox over a coyote, cant even lie with that one.

[azure crag]

Fox look too good and are too stupid not to hunt.

[peak cosmos]

im still partial to coyotes i gotta say

definitely a matter of personal preference though

[azure crag]

Coyote have given me PTSD due to the Cheelah mission.

[peak cosmos]

lowkey

[twin spindle]

Im biased to wolves either way, which is canid also, but look fine in the game.

[azure crag]

Why aren't wolves class 4

[fringe sphinx]

for sure. I have them all around me and I hunt them frequently. Theyre just so darty and personable, on top of their gorgeous coat and cute faces.

coyotes just look scraggly, like a crack addict on a highway. (to me)

[twin spindle]

Better question, why isn't .22lr class 2 too.

you're telling me a .22 lr cant ethically take out a beaver or a raccoon.

[fringe sphinx]

it cant?? thats bogus

[azure crag]

It'd be too broken. The silenced nature of the .22lr is cause enough to keep it at class 1.

[twin spindle]

Then you have things like crossbows and bows that break that rule...

[peak cosmos]

i like coyotes for their resilience

they are also all over where I live, along with mountain lions

another animal i wish was better modeled in game

and had better behavior

[azure crag]

Right, but you can pinpoint shoot a class 1 at 350m with the .22lr. With a bow you're lucky to hit anything as small as a fox beyond 100m. And they're affected by wind.

[peak cosmos]

but i digress

[fringe sphinx]

yeah theyre hardy as all get out. I guess thats why i resent them partly, theyre always preproducing and killing our lamb/kids. I guess a fox could do the same but of the two you can assume who does the most of the damage lol.

[twin spindle]

True, maybe .22 lr would be too broken at class 2 due to silent nature, but maybe the .22h which iirc isnt as silent could at least be class2 too.

Just to let people ethically bring .22lr on salzweisen park.

And nothing else.

[pliant shoal]

But the biggest thing is who is shooting a raccoon with a 243 irl😭 people kill them with pellet guns and 22’s all day but a 243 would put a wreck on a raccoon

[twin spindle]

Or well, 22h*

[azure crag]

Coyotes are an absolute nightmare for people like me.

My whole profession is nuisance wildlife control and coyotes do this thing where, if you don't get them all at once, they start mating like crazy and repopulate fast. You can actually make a coyote problem worse by shooting them.

[pliant shoal]

22h does cover class 2 and the 22 mag

[twin spindle]

It does? Then thats cool.

[peak cosmos]

absolutely understandable, I don't own livestock but i can imagine they're a nusiance. between that and the fact that they're not going anywhere is one of the reasons i have no problem with them being trapped/culled

[twin spindle]

Maybe a good reason to buy it.

[azure crag]

.22h and .22mag are both class 1-2

[pliant shoal]

Yeah, it doesnt work to great on them though, unless you’re point blank

[twin spindle]

@azure crag then also, you have a strandberg 10ga shotgun which also covers class 1/2 with its birdshots.

So the shotgun already breaks some rule there.

[fringe sphinx]

exactly our problem, we usually dont shoot them ourselves unless theyre just too bold and wont leave herds alone. Its mostly the idiots who are killing a few or just enough and causing them to burst babies out like the species depends on it. most of the varmints out here are pretty rampant

frustrating but what can you do. 🤷

[azure crag]

Problem is, they don't penetrate class 2 beyond 200m.

[twin spindle]

That doesnt seem realistic at all.

[azure crag]

Right? I was Hella disappointed.

[twin spindle]

But I digress its game balancing mechanic eitherway.

Is the drilling shotgun rifle the only rifle that can cover all classes in one singular gun?

[azure crag]

Still doesn't really deviate because the bird shot is only effective on class 2 at really close range.

All weapons capable of class 1-2 dual coverage have some sort of notable downside, be it extremely short range, extreme loudness, or in the case of arrows and bolts, the class 1-2 bolts/arrows are extremely affected by wind.

[undone wadi]

guys what is a good map to hunt on without tents and stuff

[peak cosmos]

salzwiesen

[twin spindle]

Mathematically, askiy ridge or emerald coast.

[azure crag]

Emerald Coast if you wanna stroll and wipe out crocs. Salzwiesen Park if you're like me an want small game.

[peak cosmos]

fym mathematically bro

[fringe sphinx]

its a struggle lol, make it work but the problem never really goes away. Even with multiple GSD's to deter the predators we still lost 15-20 head this spring. rough year but next will maybe be better.

[azure crag]

Population density probably

[twin spindle]

Most range of species and ease of farming them.

[twin spindle]

Yep.

So if you just hold w, in askiy ridge, you will encounter more stuff than in other maps.

[undone wadi]

alr ill try askiy ridge

[azure crag]

I spent like an hour on Askiy and it was basically a nonstop shooting fest. It's slam full of wildlife and has great vantages.

[peak cosmos]

god i love askiy

[twin spindle]

Emerald coast is equal though.

But i feel like askiy ridge is easier and better ease of use.

[peak cosmos]

not to keep bringing up the hudzik but it's a blast on that map, especially in the southern half with all the pronghorn

[azure crag]

Hence why I recommended it. Great fun too, a lot of the game are either too stupid or too slow to escape.

[undone wadi]

yea its more open

but still east

is open on coast

[marsh haven]

What is the most scary map at night

[peak cosmos]

medved lmao

[lament swallow]

Sundar

[peak cosmos]

wolves everywhere

[pliant shoal]

Hudzik should cover class 9 imo, it wrecks 90% of class 9’s within 200m

[peak cosmos]

or southern sundar

[fringe sphinx]

tied with lower half of sundar with me
something about nighttime medved makes my hair stand

[marsh haven]

Agreed

[granite timber]

Does anyone have really convenient spots for mulies on askiy?

[lament swallow]

Those tigers appear out ig any location

[marsh haven]

Thats not a thing lol

[granite timber]

Interesting

[peak cosmos]

funnily enough i actually wish the round ammunition covered class 2, i'd love to shoot coyotes with it

[pliant shoal]

That would be cool

[azure crag]

The first outpost you reach. Literally the first animal I saw was this.

[peak cosmos]

or another flintlock/caplock gun with smaller class range

[azure crag]

If you want a challenging and rewarding rifle option for class 2 game, may I recommend... the .45 Air Rifle?

[peak cosmos]

I will consider it thoroughly

thanks bud

I havent used it in a while actually

[pliant shoal]

Anyone know why this mule deer says great one but scores high gold?

[azure crag]

Look at those crazy straw antlers

[fringe sphinx]

Unironically love the .22 handguns, they’re underrated!

[peak cosmos]

i should try them out, i'm not really a fan of the .22lr rifles

seems fun for rabbits

[fringe sphinx]

I was going to say lol

[peak cosmos]

they're good looking too

the rifle.. not as much

to me at least

[fringe sphinx]

I miss super bad with the rifles for whatever reason.

Or the 22s

[azure crag]

Sadly not viable for my playstyle, but absolutely agree!

[peak cosmos]

i'll give the .22 handgun a chance right now actually, i usually prefer shotguns for rabbits but what the hell yolo

i paid for em

[marsh haven]

My lil sis said shes the next best gurner

[fringe sphinx]

I believe it!

[peak cosmos]

i will bring out the cyclone soon i swear 😭

[azure crag]

The .22lr handguns are phenomenal inside of 100m, I just wish their ballistics were better at range. I'd love to be able to land shots like this with one.

[peak cosmos]

my lizard brain simply will not let me shoot ducks with a .22

[marsh haven]

My sister just gurned in my dads armpit 😭

[marsh haven]

Idk whats wrong with her

[humble nest]

hello

[humble nest]

400 METRES???

jesus

[peak cosmos]

hi parhypate

[peak cosmos]

that is absurd

[peak cosmos]

alright take it in the air next time and then we'll talk bud

[azure crag]

2 back to back 420m shots

[vague lichen]

Never thought I'd see someone shooting birds from that range

[azure crag]

Sadly they won't fly at that distance, i tried to make it flush. But I did get a goose at 200m mid flight

[peak cosmos]

ah true

sounds like a two man operation

[azure crag]

I live for it 😆

300m shots with the .45 air rifle are harder than 400m shots with the .22h, but both tickle my brain just right

The .22lr taps out at 350m sadly. But still pretty good for what it is.

[peak cosmos]

you being both mr. longshot and mr. air rifle is hilarious to me

[twin spindle]

Remind me what was the difference of zarza 22lr and virant?

I dont have the first one

[peak cosmos]

the zarza is like the virant if it was ugly

[azure crag]

Zarza has better recoil and reload, Virant has 10rds compared to Zarza's 5.

[twin spindle]

Ah, no difference in range?

[peak cosmos]

i don't think so

[azure crag]

I've literally never needed 10rds so I go with Zarza for the recoil. No real difference in their ballistics.

[flat lotus]

Can anyone help me with my white tail grind? I’m not getting any deer to come to my zone and I don’t know how to fix it.

[twin spindle]

Fair enough but isnt the recoil useless on you considering you snipe it at 300m anyways

[azure crag]

Recoil matters quite a lot when taking birds midair at 200m

Though I suppose someone could absolutely argue that more ammo compensates for worse recoil, and they'd be right, but I don't like bullet spam

[peak cosmos]

Damn you are not screwing around

Respect

[fringe sphinx]

Damn round of applause for this guy

[marsh haven]

Yall like this 410 im getting irl?

[fringe sphinx]

sexy, i like it.

[azure crag]

Oooh I used to love those break barrel shotties for squirrel hunting. And the occasional unlucky raccoon. 😆

[marsh haven]

My grandpa says I need to put slugs in it and get some deer

[azure crag]

Ahhhh that explains the rail attachment

Ima shoot turkey too

Hoping to put my mouth call to work lol

[azure crag]

Gobble Gobble! I wish you luck. I've always wanted to turkey hunt!

[marsh haven]

Just gotta wait till spring, its gonna be a LONG WAIT

[broken fjord]

how do i report a bug i found in COTW

this area wont let me pass

[crimson gyro]

3 very easy turkey max weight

will he troll?

[fringe sphinx]

probably not but we'll see!

[broken fjord]

?

[marsh haven]

Go on support channel

[crimson gyro]

he didnt, thats my third dime turkey

[chrome owl]

New swag

[azure crag]

".243 Soft point rounds can't kill deer"

[marsh haven]

Absolutely W

[marsh haven]

Dunno why people say that lol

[azure crag]

I do. They keep hitting the shoulder lmao

[chrome owl]

Hunter CotW is terribly inaccurate in penetration.

Even way of the hunter can’t get it right

[azure crag]

BTW this shot didn't spook the rest of the mulies either. .243 is the quietest deer rifle for class 5-6.

[azure crag]

Realism has to be tempered with game balance to some degree, but I get you. I hate how dirty they did buckshot.

Talk a little bit more

[twin basin]

ok i will

[chrome owl]

The main issue with hunting games is how many animals there are. If guns were realistic game would be too easy.

[twin basin]

nice weather huh fellas

hopefully the g1 is comign soon

[chrome owl]

Actually terrible it’s doing backflips of 30-40 degrees F

[twin basin]

roughly 1k kills mule

[chrome owl]

One day is like 20-30 the next is like 70-80

[azure crag]

Bruh the antlers on this mule, I love that shape. I hope I can get a dime with those antlers.

[twin basin]

i like the winter here

[twin basin]

i might have a diamond of that rack

lemme checl=k

[muted current]

80 today 32 tomorrow

[night lily]

we at 12f / -11c and it gets down to -10f / -23c later this week

[chrome owl]

I wish, I was eating ice cream as a Christmas snack.

[twin basin]

i dont

theyre all the open rack ones

[azure crag]

I don't often Taxi Golds but that one is going on the wall.

[twin basin]

when i first started i messed up a whitetail huddle by adding a gold in a piebald + diamond huddle

and its a 218 so its not like it even trolled

[marsh haven]

Fr

[azure crag]

The first outpost on Asky, by the lake, is the gift that keeps on giving. So many good animals.

And the range is perfect, 200-300m from the outpost deck to the other side of the lake.

[twin basin]

mine gives up nothing

ill check it though maybe the g1 has been there and idk it

[azure crag]

I've got ducks, mules and bighorn, as well as elk but I haven't seen the elk yet, just found their zone.

[twin basin]

dang

ive got barely any mules from it

[marsh haven]

Its a good pintail spot

[azure crag]

I'm in a blind and I'm about to start making dead zones. 😂

[marsh haven]

I already have deadzones all around the lake lol

[true tendon]

I have 50 dollars to spend on the game what map and dlcs should I buy

[azure crag]

Weapon Pack 3

For the Vasquez Cyclone .45 Air Rifle.

[marsh haven]

High cal weapon pack, salz, duck and cover, vurhonga, and Smoking barrels pack

Actually not smoking barrels, treestand and tripod pack

[night lily]

tents maybe

[languid cove]

Te awoura if you want a grinding map

[azure crag]

When it comes to maps it's really down to preference. I highly recommend you jump into various maps on multi-player and see what you like.

But also Salzwiesen Park for the small game hunting.

[true tendon]

I kinda want scot land or askiy should I get either of them

[azure crag]

Both are great

[marsh haven]

Yeah they are both amazing

[languid cove]

Both good

[marsh haven]

Bro i got like 10,000 bucks off salz today

Just off mallard

[true tendon]

Should I get into duck hunting

In game

[marsh haven]

YESS

Mallard in game is CRAZY GOOD

[fringe sphinx]

loads of fun

[true tendon]

Alr just name the dlcs

[marsh haven]

Salz, duck and cover pack. All you need.

[true tendon]

Ok

[languid cove]

I spent 10 minutes in a tripod in an insane duck spot in salz and had like 20 dead ducks

[marsh haven]

Frrrr

[azure crag]

OH

[azure crag]

Electronic Caller is a must for waterfowl hunting

[fringe sphinx]

foxpro/automatic caller if youre lazy

[languid cove]

No I don’t need to call at all

[marsh haven]

Today i had just setup for greylag, got in my waterfowl blind CALLED ONCE AND 40 GREYLAG CAME IN

[true tendon]

Ima get auto caller game feeder duck and cover prob salz scotland maybe askiy the high caliber and whatever else

I alr have tripod

[languid cove]

There’s a trick to get on a outlook on Yukon and you can shoot them from there without calling

[twin basin]

does it matter if i accidentally shot a doe

[languid cove]

Shouldn’t matter

[twin basin]

ok nice

i got a diamond finally

[marsh haven]

Nah, this aint big game hunter lol

[twin basin]

i went on a streak of no diamonds, now i got 2 td

[azure crag]

E-Caller let's you call in 3 species simultaneously (2 with the E-caller and manually calling yourself) and it prevents geese from wandering towards you, which they're prone to do without decoys if you use a standard caller.

It isn't absolutely necessary to hunt with it, but by god does it make a difference.

It's also a lot more convenient than decoys.

[languid cove]

I sit in a tripod with 25 decoys of every duck species and the whole sky is filled with ducks and within 2 minutes I can get 4 with one shot that’s how close they are to each other

[twin basin]

im going insane because of the tundra bean geese

[marsh haven]

Yall rate my dream house: Arcade in the mountains

[twin basin]

i cant find a diamond

[azure crag]

Yep, you can do the same thing with 1 E-Caller and no decoys cluttering up your shooting zone.

[languid cove]

They don’t clutter at all

[fringe sphinx]

but then you have to account for all the time and inventory space it takes to carry all of those decoy. Just about convenience, really.

[azure crag]

Compared to the E-Caller they do.

[languid cove]

Only 3 species lol I get up to 6 with my decoys

[fringe sphinx]

both are viable but E-caller is easier

[languid cove]

It takes like five minutes to set up decoys lol and you never have to move them

[azure crag]

Technically you can get more with other callers but I've never found a location where more than 3 duck species are in range.

[peak cosmos]

obligatory "what stage infection is this"

[fringe sphinx]

or you have one portable decoy that'll call in whatever waterfowl you want wherever.

[nimble sequoia]

syphillis

[languid cove]

I get mallard, gadwal, widg, teal, furigenous all in one spot on salz

[azure crag]

Or 2 for geese. It really makes a bigger difference with geese than any other waterfowl since they're considerably larger. The goose decoys are an eyesore.

[languid cove]

I don’t get the decoy hate they are amazing

[azure crag]

Lucky you! My eurasians and tufted are all together but the mallards and other ducks are further west.

[twin basin]

i should be set on money for a bit, js realized i had 3.2 mil

[languid cove]

I can send a ss of my spot if you want

[fringe sphinx]

its not hate, decoy is fine but its not better than the E-caller, on paper.

[azure crag]

It's not hate, it's just that the E-caller is less in the way, far cheaper and easier to move than dozens of decoys. Decoys work great and if you like them, all the better. But they don't attract better than a caller does.

[azure crag]

Need zones vary by player, your zones won't match up with mine. Thanks though!

[languid cove]

I’ll show you a pic of what the skies look like when I get home

[azure crag]

I don't need it, but thanks. I almost exclusively hunt small game and have experienced seeing 40-50 ducks in one spot numerous times, it's great fun. Shame they're so low value though, compared to geese.

[languid cove]

I duck hunt irl do you

[languid cove]

Only 40-50 lol I get atleast 100 near me at once

[fringe sphinx]

here we go

[azure crag]

Then how tf are you only hitting 4 at a time

Do better 😆

[languid cove]

Four in one shot I get like 10 or more in my six shots

[twin basin]

dam how

i kill like 2 max per shot

[azure crag]

That's what I meant, if you're seeing 100 ducks land in the same spot you should be nailing 10+ per shot.

[languid cove]

I wait for a bunch to walk next to each other and start spamming rt

[twin basin]

oh

[languid cove]

Not even enough pellets for that my guy

[azure crag]

Ducks and geese both have a tendency to sort of wander into each other and, for whatever reason, shotguns have increased shot spread when you hipfire.

Hipfire into a crowd of ducks or geese and you're likely to get several in one go. Most I've managed is 8 in a single shot.

[granite timber]

CRAP

[twin basin]

dam

[languid cove]

8 is crazy for one shot

[granite timber]

BIGHORN TROLL

[languid cove]

Imma try hipshotting

[azure crag]

Yeah no, you need to use the Tracer perk and see how many pellets are in bird shot.

[peak cosmos]

yall dont shoot em in the air?

[twin basin]

i let them land

[languid cove]

No im trash at that fr

[peak cosmos]

real

[twin basin]

im also horrible at bird hunting

[peak cosmos]

its fun when you get it down though

[twin basin]

fr

[languid cove]

I don’t waterswat them irl but in game it’s much easier

[twin basin]

its satisfying to drop them out the air'

[azure crag]

For fun yes, for money no.

I use the .10ga semi with a 4rd mag and for geese, I empty the mag before they take off and it usually results in a dead flock.

For ducks I fire twice and then take 2 more when they're airborne.

[languid cove]

The. You can only get one or two instead of ten

[fringe sphinx]

do wolves scare whitetail? do i need to blast this wolf

[twin basin]

whats best shotgun?

[peak cosmos]

yes

[twin basin]

i use cacciatore

[fringe sphinx]

here we gooo

[languid cove]

Same

[azure crag]

12ga is easiest due to mag size, 10ga is best if you're accurate due to rapid fire.

[peak cosmos]

you're already using the best one then lol

[twin basin]

oh nice'

[peak cosmos]

i'm using the benelhag on wood duck rn

[twin basin]

it was the first one i bought when i got enough money

[peak cosmos]

gonna see how many i can shoot off the water just for fun

with just 3 shots

well thats not helpful. flock of 3 coming in

[languid cove]

Why not six

[twin basin]

i need a dime tundra bean

[peak cosmos]

cause im not using the cacciatore rn

benelhag has a capacity of 3

[languid cove]

I have one unless I’m mistaking for a Greylag I forget

[twin basin]

i have a greylag and another one for the landlubber lineup multimount

i need pheasant and bean

[azure crag]

It really is.

[languid cove]

That will be difficult
