and by then the need zone time would have passed
main menu works when i had an issue with land animals
but birds decided to be evil in my game
i remember spotting a lvl3 bob quail and it legit took 8 hours of gameplay to finally find it again
I have a question I'm under 18 but i hunt irl do i put the tag or no?
No it violates discord tos, if you do the server can get in trouble
Alr thanks
is there any noisy - quiet bow thing in this game just like classic hunt?
wym?
All bows are quiet
in classic there is
Same as .22lr and .45 air rifle
I can't complete medved story missions because the mission Chasing Chuchunya won't register my character is following the tracks and trigger the next part of the quest.
I have tried so many fixes, any suggestions?
What is the perfect loadout to kill bear with
.375, .303, .257, .22lr, 12ga cacciatore
Are any of these dlc
All but the 12ga and .303
Ok
.303 is dlc silly
bow and arrow :d
It is? What map
Te
For some reason i thought that was the .308 bolt ngl
which one is this? ive done some of the medved missions but don't recall the names but there was one that was a pita because you couldn't see the next part from the last trigger
may want to delete this...... its not going to go well
Why
Ahh
you know that page you didn't read
My fault I forgot
also if you hunt your map, you probably have diamonds and rares on it
I definitely donāt
just pulled this off my initial spawns... just gotta work for it
im not grinding for yak.....
Who is š
if they would quit attacking me, i wouldn't have to kill that many. literally just walking around checking lakes for yak at the moment
you said setting up a grind when im talking initial spawns diamond yak im not grinding yak to get a diamond
Literally no one said a thing about grindingš š
He was saying you gotta work for it
Yeah that means look for them
Which that is true, but itās harder when you donāt have all the stuff to grind
Again, no one said a thing about grinding
I can probably guarantee that there isnāt a diamond on my map from a initial spawn
Just go to drink zones lol
There 100% is
It's so incredibly almost impossible that you don't have a single initial spawn on your map
Iāve gotten every drink zone for my white tail on Laken and not a single diamond
what are you shooting them with
Then search a different map
since you insist on saying you have to grind for a dime, i can only assume you don't know what is going on half the time
that would include the correct weapon
You donāt have to fully grind you can just go roam and kill and spawn one
Plus the starting gun in the game youāre able to shoot deer with
So I donāt know how I could use the incorrect weapon for white tail
so youre using the 243.... assuming youre lower level then
Not now
vital shots only? no more than 2 bullets per animal.....
What do you need help with
Like do you have a question
Low key I js dont Wana do it alone
Just keep shooting your big whitetail, if all you want is a dime. Shoot your 2s only. eventually a 3 will spawn.
If you have a few tents, set them up inbetween lakes that are hard to get from outposts
unfortunately, waterfowl are bugged in multiplayer. You have to hunt them alone or else they'll be permanently fleeing.
do you guys know if i switch from xbox to pc if i can keep my progress or am i going to need to start over?
You will have to start over
It's not bad to start fresh
im going to do it i just dont want to buy DLCs again
I just reset my game for the 3rd time, already level 60 with 3 grinds setup ( 95%)...... the dlcs are the hard part but I think they go on sale a lot
alr thanks ill just have to keep an eye out then
Steam does big sales fairly often. Slowly get dlc when its like 70% off is my advice
perfect
Not even just from steam sometimes the devs do sales
Yo Iām new to the game any good tips to kill more animals and just get a better sense of it?
big thing is noise,if your running every where your scaring everything. Second find water sources and look for drink zones and hunt along those. Rivers are great options as you can walk along them and usually find many drink zones
yeah different animals have different areas where they drink so depending on what map and what your trying to hunt depends on when there drink time is
Okay dope thanks
I wanna get into waterfowl to any tips on that?
I wish I could have someone come in and show me some things
I can if your on PC
best thing for birds I've found is get close to water sources with space in front of you and use a caller to get them to land near you and blast them with a shot gun or 22 rifle and then a shot gun when they take off
its easier if they land in open spaces so try to pick a bush to hide in with as much clear space as possibly to encourage them to lang there, that will get you started and then you can get into tents if you have the dlc and setting of lures but if your new its not very practical starting off
Are there really snow leopards in the southern forested areas of himal?
Im trying to grab a diamond slow leopard before the new dlc.
They can go a little more south than the red, but this is primarily their home range
yea i was using that map but idk how common it was to see them in the forest. Ive bagged 4-5 now up way north and 0 in the red areas
This map is where Iāve specifically killed or found leopards.
Colors donāt mean anything, I just switched it after a while
thanks that will make finding them tougher than i had hoped.
I can infer a few of these are just more traveled locations
Been having this happen since ps4- but recently moved over to ps5 and its still occurring.
Does anyone know how to fix the crash that happens when you go from joining multiplayer, to singleplayer and then to the lodge? Its crashed every time I do it.
If I close the game and reopen, go into singleplayer and to the lodge its fine, and I can do that if theres not fix, but thought id ask first or if I should report it
Anyone have all the moose drink zones in askiy? I've walked the river a dozen times and all the ponds and only have around 50
Hey, I'm trying to grind black bears with barrels in Layton. I have a few placed that attract several females every night. Should I hunt them, or leave them alone?
does a hunting structure work the same as a tripod with hunting pressure?
yes
This map is so damn pretty I'd buy it but I am really bad in super dense forest areas
am i missing something because i explored all of the possible drink zones for fallow and i think i have only like 18???
Is the Frost .257 the best 2-6 rifle in the game?
Does the hidden building or the hunting tent you know what I mean had the same ability as tripod?
Also using hotspot maps like this one gonna help you alot.
Have now 1300 hours in this game and still use them for finding drinkzones for my grind
Is NEM a good first map
i like to hunt small game
but also some big game like moose
or is scotland a better alternative?
If you want big and small game askiy is for you
My brother has askiy alr
so no need
and moose and bears
then i'd keep your money or spend it on a reserve your friends have
revontuli is probably the best choice, you can play whenever your friends arent online š
Alternatively cuatro might be great
oh yea
maybe
I am prob gonna buy 2 off cheaper maps On the spring sale
NEM has no unique animal unfortunately
Is it still worth it
Is rancho a good map?
Very much so
Why?
I only remember your max whitetail
Sup, whenever I open the launcher, it keeps forcing me onto this page. Any fix?
Off topic but anyone know a fix for Microsoft store on xbox not opening. Tried the online stuff had luck once now its acting up again. I just want some weapon packs and feeders lol
What Would be a good second map?
i might just buy NEM and scotland
Tbh
@nimble smelt
.
Is this... a classic thing?
I don't recognize this at all
What reserves do you not have
Yeah.
ik theres a separate discord for classic but the invite is invalid
theHunter Classic has now moved to their own server. Join them.
The one above should work!
Whats the best map for fox g1 grind?
either salzweisen or torr
Maybe torr then it has less lakes so less places for drink zones
Or should i use the feeders
i would suggest trying it out considering fox drink at night
I dont mind night hunts
Ive been grinding for a diamond and rare lesser kudu and they drink at night its fairly fun to me
Always enjoyed night hunts idk
Can someone on xbox help me find my bear zones on silver ridge peaks DM me if so
di love night hunting until i run into birds
what feed should i put in for elk?
Can someone help me with moose grind I donāt know how to start it I am playing on ps5
pellet
thank you
Can somone pls help me find all my red deer zones in te awaro
Do you play on ps5
Yes
I can try to help
Ok
The only mission on NEM that ever gave me trouble was the last one, and I believe that got fixed.
SRP, on the other hand, has its missions break semi-often
sorry if mentioned before but any fixes for birds not landing on multiplayer ?
Not that I saw in the notes - but I want to reread them in a bit
ngl this has been an issue for ages, dont think its fixable just how the bird AI works with alerting
I hope there is one. With my new single player game, they appear to be doing the same thing. Not landing and just flying away.
It wasnt an issue in my old sp game, but its making it fairly difficult to duck/goose hunt even solo in this new game
Water fowl hunt xbox?
Someone play tonight
Oh sorry
anyone know why my pointer will either A. run around in circles, never tracking, even though there is a herd up the hill. B. run off 9000MPH straight into a herd spooking them. or C. Walks off a bit, finds a scent, then sits down Waiting for Owner....?
ever so rarely does it seem to find a scent, head to it, sneak, then point, and not spook everything
How is it possible that i have a zone full of female and there is none males???
It happens. Either you can leave it alone and mark it as an exterior zone or, what i do is shoot 1 female, collect her and leave that zone be for a few days. My males come back after a little bit.
I think if you kill all the males in 1 area, it just starts spawning females ?
yeah but there is an another zone next to it with like 5 males??
all I see are females a lot of the time, so I started murder hoboin the females, and males showed up
They may be solos or herds just might be mixed up. What are you hunting?
is it one of those things with herd management? I seen videos on that subject, still doesn't make much sense, cause does that also effect gender spawning?
statistically if I murder all the 1s in 1 area, how does it know to not spawn them in the second area where I also killed things?
Depends on the animal
Some animals have hardly no issues
What do the new fur types for mule deer look like?
If you shoot just males do males come back?
what about crocs? cause i've killed the swamp, outa all the things 6, 7, 8s, but the shore is still all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5s half of the time
is beubiful
I quit killing anything 6, 7, 8 on the shore
Supposedly when you kill a 5 it has a chance to go up or down in number
hmmm, ok
So if ur just killing anything that is 5 under
It isnāt a garentee it will be higher
View it like a chair slot
It can move up or down
But not stay the same
been leaving the lower ones in the swamp, killing the lower ones on the coast, is that how you are supposed to do it? or am I doing this oposite? lol
If your killing the ones in the swamp with the ones at the coast they will jump
ok, might be I need to do it a lot more times I am guessing?
They wonāt always come back to the same zone
only been doing this for the past 3 days
Itās how ur doing the killing
Usually how hm works is u have your main zones and your exterior zones
Donāt shoot ur main zones while u shoot ur exteriors
Or they will mix
I cannot even immagine how hard this is going to be for species that have a ton more spawn points
ooooo
Thatās what is happening to u rn
Yep wolves are a nightmare
They donāt render in half the Time
So u gotta go to main menu a lot to reset them
so, muder hobo the outter area, till they are all like 5s and under? or do I go up to 6s?
In your swamp kill anything over 5
While on your coast kill everything low level
and that is if I want the higher ones to spawn on the coast?
croc, I think 9 was max
lowest level ones? i've seen 1s on females
If ur really commited keep ur 9s on your coast
Until u have a bunch
wait... aren't 9 diamond?
Yes
so leave a coast of 9s!?
But u need to stack them if ur super rare hunting
hoooow, I've seen like 8s in my 80 hours lol
Rng my friend
the 9s? š
Albino
whaaaaaaat
sweet
U got really lucky
i'veonly seen the two 8s, as crocs, nothing else that high before
like everything in the game is always 1-3
If u have a low number in your coast
my luck knows no bounds, i've got like every mount in warcraft too
hmmm
Some people donāt harvest them to give them a better chance to spawn
really?
But if you do that it will take 45 minutes to respawn
ins't that going to lag the game out at some point?
Idk if thatās out dated info
ah ok
Probably just stick to harvesting
I'd just stick to harvesting
well, yea, I need the money pretty bad
Because it can sometimes mess with the programming
Yeah that too
I started giving watering holes a hunt too, tents and stands stack up to insane prices to fast lol
Plus thereās few fur types that look like regular stuff but theyāre rare
From what I understand you get a "higher chance" of them respawning closer to exactly what they are by not picking it up... but also it really doesn't matter that much because you can just shoot them again in zone without trying to swap them and get them to shift still
interesting
Whether that's an actual statistic or correlation idk
I've never bothered not picking up my harvests. Seems silly lol
From my understanding they can either go up or down
I uhh....lose bodies in the swamp
The 3rd or 4th time I go back around though, I stumble across a body lol
Just watch which way they run
the blood hound doens't like crocs at all, tracking wise
they go behind all those mangroove trees and I cant see them anymore š
Based on my understanding of the system from tracking the entire population of boar on Scotland while I do my grind, the respawn chance is essentially a free-for-all. There's a set weight-value range that acts as a bowl of sorts where the game has to have between X and Y weight on the field to keep your sizes balanced out.
Which is how herd management functions, when you have a bunch of smaller, you have more chances for larger respawns because its counter-balancing
very interesting
Yep makes sense
Another way to do it is just to hunt everything if you just need cash
Thatās what Iām doing rn
I donāt really care about rares on crocs
so getting an animal to spawn diamonds that has less on the map would be harder, because less spawns?
I just need money for tripods and tents
You can absolutely have a 5 turn into a 2 in one go depending on your current population balance. It's just much more common they shift within 1 level up or down based on the space available
my trophy house has very few things, I thought those 8s I found were awesome, cause it said mythical, so made them trophies lol
Not necessarily
I think the game will still try to balance it out to some extent
Yes and no. Its easier and faster to manage a small population but the downside is the rate of kills you can do within an hour. I can push my 60 population boar into a 1 in 12 dime rate but at that point I can only kill around 20 an hour.
Larger population essentially gives you a larger split between the two so you always have shooters and can kill faster. It just takes longer to manage initially
ah ok, im just soloing around, someone said stay off the multiplayer ones, cause people mod them up pretty bad I guess
Yeah they do unfortunately
33 years of hunting IRL, the game is relaxing, I don't wanna fill my game with stuff that isn't really earned
It's sooo worth it when you get them
In this case its against the T&C of the game to mod so it's not a good thing š
Can completely corrupt your save as well
I keep my modding to games like Stardew, Minecraft, and ARK haha
Yeah - no real leadership boards or anything
skyrim, if I don't have at least 150 mods working at once in that game, I feel like I failed lol
Comes down more to the legality of it and the devaluation of rare trophies
true true
I like to mod beamng and planet zoo
My husband mods beamng lol. His poor computer sobs
never heard of beamng
You should tell him about beamleaks
Its a good mod website
oh
I know nexus mods, and the steam workshop
never looked into other sites before
I did look on nexus to see if anyone had a mod for smarter dog, mine keeps getting stuck on all those trees in the swamp, its driving me insane
Without going to far down the Rule 9 rabbit hole, there's only one mod that's available on a pretty popular mod program that I would even think of using, and even then I haven't (and even if I did, I wouldn't admit to it lol). At that point it's like what's the point to even playing the game...
some sort of pathing, AI, or collision mod
what is that mod?
Nope, ain't saying a thing. Rule 9 and all, duh.
It's what you agreed to when you joined the discord... you really should have read the rules you know
just used to every game having mods now days
dude, you join enough discords, you skim over those damn things lol
I stick to the common sense ones
Yeah that's what gets a lot of people in trouble. They assume its all good and fine until it corrupts their save or they get called out for it lol
never been banned, my bad if you shouldn't talk about modding
yea, I don't need or what that
I mean whenās the last time you fully read the tos in a game
I read them every time š
Yeah, most all games have mods but not all developers support mods, that is the difference here
ummm that would be in 2002, playing EverQuest, because I starting being a GM then
But I was also taught as a kid to always read everything. Know what you're getting into. Always
ah well, like I said, my bad mentioning mods
All good 
All good
Lots of people learn about it here and then enjoy the game and have a blast with the rest of us after
yea, better to learn now, then make a mistake later
99% of mods for this game are hacks and cheats
Which is why talking about them is against rules
is there a suggestion box for the game then?
Join us on AvaHub!
Share your ideas with us, big and small, discuss them, upvote your favorite ideas, and get direct feedback from us on the COTW team.
cheers
There's only one (that I can think of) that's not a hack/cheat but even then if it wasn't intended by the developers then it's not supported lol
Mod creators for this game are not that impressive
is there anything i can do when i kill a crocodile in the water and it just floats in the middle of the ocean to the shore where i shot
i've only really used modding to improve things graphically, or UI wise, cheating just makes a game go from something you could enjoy for 1000s of hours, to getting bored of it after 20 mins imo
they always seem to float to where I last shot them, not where I currently am
its rlly annoying some times
Swamp is easier to harvest imo
is it wrong i chuckle everytime I see a croc run off into the ocean, just to pop up, I say... Oh look, another bobber in the water!
Depending on when and where they go in
they are ahh to hunt there
True
I don't move when I shoot them
yea, I am torn between those 2 places
I stay where I am and they usually come to me
Occasionally they will drift off to the spot ur in when they die
But thatās like I said occasionally
But then you have some of them that like to do this
swamp seems easier, but I lose more bodies, ocean seems easier, but I have to wait for the bodies to float to me, at this point, i kill on the coast, ignore the bodies, till I make my second pass over the coastline, and loot them
I also feel like crocs are more condensed in swamp
Meaning you can shoot a bit more
Without having to travel 300 plus meters to shoot
I had 6 or 7 in 1 spot on the coast, most I seen together in the swamp was 4 or 5
Whats the best map for deer? I was thinking of getting SRP but if anyone has other suggestions id love to hear
but normally, i've seen 1 or 2 on the coast, never seen them bunch like that before
Lucky best I had was 3
What type
Thereās like 1000 species of deer haha
ry wssppppp
Water isn't as deep in the swamp and there's more land for them to have to cross
Yooo
Any really, fallow , whitetail mainly though
ry can u join vc? im boreds
it seemed like 3 were traveling, 3 or 4 were sun basking, it might of just been perfect timing seeing them all at once
I can for a bit sure
For fallow I like te awara
Whitetail no clue
fallow-red deer te awora, and whitet revontuli
well, thanks for the tips on the managment stuff, going to put it into practice!
see! random bunch ups again
+1 in the water traveling
Is stacking or shooting better for whitetail?
stacking is to speed up the process of managing exterior zones
went hunting gators for the first time and ran into abit of an ishue...according tot he map i killed the gator but to went into the water and isnt surfacing to collect??
i sent my dog to see if it had come out and diead on shore but she just swims off intot he sunset...
Is the 8-Feeder limit counted as part of the 16 Tents, 32 Tripods, or Separate?
8 feeders is by themselves irrespective of the others
Ooh perfect, thanks!
-# hopefully they take our request for a higher limit and grant it
please allow it to be 8 of each feeder type
with a max of 24 maybe?
pls
when animal has a drinking time do all animals on the server go to the water source or only some of them?
Not all have drinks zones
If you mean species
But all red deer for example have drink zones
And they all go to their specific drink zone
and what about black bears?
There's a bunch everywhere
They have drink zones
all of them?
Use the spreadsheet in pins
Yes
Yo
Which shotgun has the longest range?
how many decoys do you guys use for wood ducks
They're all the same
20 is max
so if i only have like 6 out is that why im not getting many ducks at a time i get like 8 maxed to land at a time
You have to shoot them all for them to respawn
i try to most times
Is NEM a pretty fun map to hunt or is it mid bc its DENSE?
would this be good for bow hunting
i have 0 maps
(yes i know that the night vison from the high tech pack is the worser one but i want the bow scope)
i actually didnt hunt much with a bow
i dont like how dense it is
i like rev cost its open and beautiful
If you could have an new map and g1 what would it be
if you need money get Australia map and shoot a bunch of crocs
i dont
well my brother has australia so no need
maybe i could just buy salzwiesen
but it would be too hard to bow hunt
savana is a good one too hunt lions
friend also has it and it aint my type
Do you have te awara
2 friend and brother has it
How about cuatro colinas
love it i did the albino bear
Ye its cool looking
barely any small game
i am just gonna get Nem
prob
Scotland
welp i was thinking about it
but the thing is its expensive and it wont be on sale on the steam spring sale (100%)
bc its a new map
i love askiy too
Too many of my friends have it and my brother has it
nah
Yukon
Nem
you dont like nothing lol jk
Of you could have 1 new map and g1 ehat would it be
i own them all so idk lol
idk
I think africa 2 would be cool
prob red fox or ring necked pheasant
so whatās a good gun for taking out white tail to clear the zones?
I have the modern dlc, and nothing else. Donāt know what guns i should use
something fast but idk what
the female mosaic is so cuuuuuuute
I can't
The 243 works great
if anyone is stuck on the heritage forest picture mission on Scotland, I got it right here
Is a cinnamon Black bear rare
Yes
yes, rares are cinnamon, brown, and blonde for black bear
And why is every bird i shoot on emerald cost a diamond
Its my severe and not hacked
They're bugged. will be fixed tomorrow.
I also suggest in advance to never host public multiplayer if you want your populations to remain not-hacked
thank you
Are compound or recurve bows better or is it just a preference
Sorry if this is a bit late, but if you have Humble Bundle in your country, you should check out their bundles, I just picked up (all steam keys) CotW, and almost every single DLC for $25
Looking for best spot to place feeders on revolutionize coast or whatever itās called
Revolutionize Coast š
Preference
Ravioli & toast
Anyways yeah I agree you can get all dlc for pretty cheap once they go on sale
Around $4 each
Technically 5 with tax lol
š best thing ive heard all day
Hey guys. I was thinking about picking up the Humble Bundle that's going on right now. However, I am disabled and I am wondering about the accessibility of this game. Before I pick it up.
My setup to play video games is a bit complicated so I will just ask. Would it be possible to play this game on a controller with one hand?
Sorry if this is not the right channel, it was just the first one that looked like it could be.
Its pretty difficult but you could play with one hand
In theory you only need to be able to dhoot as you can auto run
I saw an albino 8 mythical Kangaroo and I could not get a shot and lost it, can I get it back? I have been hunting non-stop for it and nothing
Yes
Do I have too keep kiling them too get him to show up again or should he still be on my map?
Heās still on ur map somewhere
Killing other animals wonāt get him to spawn because he already spawned
Should roughly be around the area you last seen him
I just dont know what to do, I keep checking all of my kangaroo zones and nothing
I know this seems like a dumb question but are you sure he was albino?
I thought I seen an albino croc but turned out it was just the lighting lol
What other completely white kangaroo is there
Can also see if the tracks have albino fur on the fur type
Leucistic
Albinos are more pinkish
They have a little pink
What time did you spot him?
I am like 99.9% it was albino
Man idek this was yesterday or the day before, well It had too be somewhere between the time zone because when I saw him I also got the zone so
6-9 or 9-12
Exit the game, set the time to the need zone's time, and go to it
Could be a rendering issue if youāre doing the same zone
I will give it a try, I just wanna get a shot on him, either way I just want the mount
When I first saw him I was about 350 yards away which is why I didn't wanna shoot
I am gonna go through my zones again starting with where I first saw it
Also might be a zone ur not aware of yet if that fails
I canāt wait ā¤ļø
Does anyone have a fallow hotspot for emerald coast?
Do you have Te awara?
Yeah but messed up my zones a wee bit when i started and had no clue what I was doing
Mine is all around that pond @short shuttle
They have a wide range on emerald coast itās reccomened you do it on Te awara
Even if u mess it up itās ok
Big lake is where u wanna keep ur main set up at
As long as ur claiming kills ur herd should still be fine
Should i sprint to get warning calls to find snow leopards or walk and try to get mating calls/warning.
Im finding them but dang is it slow and i feel like sometimes i might be spooking them without any signs.
I even encountered one that didnt leave any tracks.
My small strat is heard managing snow leopards by killing all the males that are southern in the forests. and killing the females north in the open.
I literally can't hit the kangaroo
I have 1 day left to get this diamond snow leopard so ill take any info and tips from anyone. Any micro strats to get more calls find them 5% faster.
Why?
Bad shot when it comes too kangaroos
When he stands up take the shot
Chest shot
Okay
Can practice on other Roos first
I usually like to run around and listen for calls and look for tracks. It usually gets me a couple. Walking, youāre less likely to find a track or get a call because you simply donāt cover enough ground
Hey guys haven't played this in a while and was wondering if any of the new dlc were worth picking up
Tiger map is pretty cool.
Yukon if youāre into great one wolf farming and the bison along with grizzly.
Personally two of my favorite picks as of rn.
any suggestions on weapon packs?
Hunters choice, pump flip and fire, and hunter power pack
300 and 308
Itās the AR pack
Thatās my recommendation
Think it also comes with 22LR
are the other hunting dog worth getting or are they reskins?
Labrador retriever is good if you do lots of bird hunting. I'm not too sure about the GSP.
I love the gsp
Ehhhh
can someone help get a great one red deer I'm over 15k kills
Keep grinding
how long did it take to get ur first great one
like 2500 kills
308
Idk
bow
and arrow
I would suggest the .7MM but its a single shot.
i mean it works
7mm
or .270
for no dlc
.303 or 7mm malmer if you got dlc
the bundle made each item come out to $0.65 each, really good deal atm, its a 9th anniversary deal sorta thing they are running atm
do animals only respond to lures while traveling?
Anyone know how I can get money fast Iām trying to get tents
10-16 crocs is about a tent, not sure if there is some way better though
Fast money.. get your self in trouble with some wolves. Then when they attack have a pistol or something close range to take down like 5-6 of them each giving close to 700 hunterbucks. So do the math and you hey quick money.
Yes. At all times
Map?
Ok
i have a question
If the mr black escaped Lake Balmont so much that I couldn't take a picture, will he reappear near the lake? Where should I look for him?
Also a very overlooked thing. Make sure you pass the harvest check because you can get like $300 more being smart and passing rather than being all quick and reckless with it
Lake Balmont
Don't shoot it
animal rights
Shoot it lol
lol
But 308 is the best for deer
Mmmmm no
.303, 7mm, .30-06, .450 all better guns
From what I know
Is anyone else having trouble shooting goats? Feral. This is ridiculous, I fired 3 rounds at 3 different goats STANDING STILL AS A WALL 150 yards away max and it doesn't hit are you serious
Its only the 243
My .300 dropped them
You donāt even need decoys in my opinion. Just find a good spot to hide around 60 yards or 55 meters away from a caller in the brush and set out your e-caller with those set on the caller, if you have the DLC of course.
I was gonna say I don't have the e-caller
Can anyone tell me what dlcs I need to start a gray wolf great one grind
No cuz I wanted to ask before I got the map
Then yes I believe you can with the decoys, I would suggest getting either the e-caller or the regular callers for those species before just setting up with decoys. The callers will help bring them into your decoys.
I hope all of this makes sense lol.
If it doesnāt please let me know.
Well the Feeder pack 2 is releasing very soon so you could wait for that it will release tomorrow if I remember, you might not need a weapon pack especially if you're going to kill ethically, and a map that has gray wolves on it, I've heard Yukon is a good map for them
Idk if I should buy even more dlcs
Which ones are you looking to get?
Or were you just not wanting to get more DLCs?
Prob just salz
Tents, tripods, yukon valley, and the scopes and crosshairs pack
Salz is a good DLC.
Thats all you need for it
Itās got lots of waterfowl and small game on it and each group of ducks is usually at least for me pretty large.
How high is the density for the grouse pheasant and the class 2 animals
Do you mean the weight of the animals or their trophy rating?
Ok, just wondering because I see some content creators use them, what is the difference between the duck blinds and the tripods?
Or how big each group is?
Nothing
They work the same
Why are my fallow only respawning as 3s
Skill issue
Idk
Nuh uh
Yuh huh
Nuh uh
Iām so nice to you and youāre mean back
People go on the internet and just lie
Iāve never been mean to you
Wdym?
Like are you actually serious or just joking
I dont mean it
Talk about hypocritical
Who let Seamus speak broš
Yes
they are scary.
is it accuracy or peak draw weight important while using bow
stenberg recurve bow has 38 accuracy and 50lb draw weight, hawk edge cb70 has 10 accuracy but 70lb draw weight
The accuracy stat means nothing
Accuracy is the same across all weapons
thats what I thought aswell, as long as you hit the spot with stable breath it should hit the spot
Higher draw weight is better but the difference is pretty minimal, all bows pack a very big punch
I like to stick with the stenberg
so I can just pick the one I like most
Yeah
š
What animal
white tail
^
How many females are in each herd
4
That's your problem
Do not grind zones with more than 2 females, 3/4m and 1f or 2/3m and 2f are the best zones to grind.
Alright, i just feel like every zone I find has more than 2 females
With actual very utmost respect
Have you been on for 8 hours?š
yeah, just trynna learn how to set everything up. šš
If you have any questions ofc you can drop the here and usually get an answer pretty fast
bet
i just watched videos and no one said anything abt the 2 females
just take out the males and rotate basically
what should i do about the zones that have a ton of females? I feel like i donāt have a ton of drinking zones. only like 20
is there a way to get the entire to not run away instantly after i shoot one deer from that herd? or do i just gotta be quicker when im shooting
Anyone know why no matter what birds wonāt come to the e-caller on Salzweisen? Iām using decoys alongside it but no matter what it wonāt work on Salzweisen. Other maps are fine.
Is there a bug I missed?
There shouldnāt be since Iām currently on Salz and blasting ducks after calling em with the e-caller.
Try leaving and rejoining your map?
Iām not even close to them. Iām 150+ meters out and using scent remover
I havenāt tried that but Iāll give it a shot the next time Iām on there
These new feeders are about to get all my attention.
Are you in multiplayer by chance?
Nope. Single player
I canāt connect to a multiplayer service to save my life, even though my Internet is near perfect.
Okay, I was gonna say if you were in multiplayer, thereās been a bug going round where no waterfowl will land.
Thatās COTW servers for ya.
I wish I could do more multiplayer playing. Part of it is kind of nice though since I donāt have to worry about people taking all my diamonds off the map.
Ight den
Thatās understandable.
Yeah, Iāve not tried playing with actual friends. Itās all been attempting to connect to randoms.
Iāve only gotten one diamond off of someoneās map through public multiplayer and it was a mallard.
Not an easy one
Playing with friends really helps keep you playing, trust me.
Absolutely, no one I know plays the game. Iāve got plenty of work getting the diamonds currently.
Once we get to going after great ones thatāll be a different story
What kind of trophies you got?
Standby
Iād like to get all the bears at diamond. Iāve been trolled a few times on the black bears.
Are all the Green animals diamonds?
Correct
Cool.
Probably shouldāve done teal instead haha
You have way more than I do then. š
All good.
Some of them are pretty easy. The capercaillie are really common.
Might have to go get those then sometime.
Then probably my crocodiles from getting money.
My first and only lvl nine croc trolled me a few days ago.
Yeah, itāll happen. Not the worse trolls Iāve got.
I got so excited too, lol.
I almost had a puma, trolled by 0.01
Most of my diamonds are waterfowl.
Yikes.
Now with the new feeders though, itāll be easier for puma
Yeah, man.
Whoās gonna make the first video titled something like: āLions, Tigers, and Bearsā? My money is on Scarecrow.
Honestly, no clue lol.
I can see it being a thing though.
Either way, thanks for the idea to solve the e-caller problem. Iāll try it out when Iām on again.
Yeah no problem.
Sounds good!
Enjoy blasting a bunch of waterfowl. š
yep!
Does anyone know how to grind here? Trying for a moose and have killed 100s without a single diamond
I'm on askiy
It worked, not sure why I had to back out and rejoin my own map. But Iāll take a diamond for it!
did you make this or is it a public sheet somewhere?
Nah, thatās just one I made in Google Sheets
Never hurts to learn how to make these forms with the functions. Might as well make it useful for the game too right?
yeah its a cool sheet I might try to make one but with the animals on the maps instead
Sweet!
Sometimes leaving the game and restarting is what works for fixing games lol.
I had a suggestion up on the forums that if you collected all of the diamonds. of a map you would get a camo for it.
the game needs stuff like this goals ya know. something to reward you for your playtime.
I mean. The trophies in your lodge and sharing here is a reward by itselfā¦
a simple cosmetic would be nice to get though. even if its not something crazy good. having a bit of exclusive bling is a nice flex.
Idk. Most people would think it has no value.
And no meaning to it. Would rather see i good trophy
for class 1 hunting (rabbits and some birds, not waterfowl) should i use the .22 ammo that has more penentration or expansion? im using the zarza-15 .22
im pretty sure got it from ibuy was basically his idea.
up to you. i prefer pen.
alright š
Guys how many wolf zones I need?
Grey wolf zones
I'm trying to set up grind but I'm short on cash
You need to find all of them
But only set up on 10-12 of them
Make sure you only set up on zones with 2 or less females
at what level do you stop getting perk and skill points?
or is that not how it works
It slows down to like one every 3 levels or so after level 34? Iirc
i believe so yeah, im at level 54 and im not getting as much skill and perk points as before
You'll get your final one at... 59 I think? I don't remember exactly
22 of each total
i thought i read somewhere that eventually you just stop getting them, so i was wondering about that
okay thanks š i will see soon
Whats a humble bundle?
i am just gonna wait for the sale so it will be cheap
It's a popular 3rd party retailer that makes deals with devs and publishers to sell groups of keys at a discounted rate. Part of the proceeds go to different causes depending on the bundle. You can get some really really cheap prices through them
oh
i thought so
well i bought keys before
but i am gonna wait for the spring sale anyways
bc eneba has a bit of tax
and the hunter has sales like every month anyways
Has the new patch come to PS5 yet? Donāt see it
it says about 1 hour for me on xbox
How can I tell?
Damn, ight thanks fam
you canāt, you just have to keep checking everywhere they can be till you donāt find anymore
Damn man Gona take ages
I've found like eight allready
nah, management is the funnest part of the grind, after that it becomes repetitive, shooting the same deer at the same place over and over. enjoy the management while you have it
What time will the DLC be released?
i just said above
about an hour for me
so 9 am cst
Thanks
I swear I was everywhere bro idk where rest of zones are
Fellow cst person
Humble Bundle = each DLC coming out to $0.65 each. A portion also goes to charity (Goes to One Tree Planted with your purchase!). Steam sale = each DLC costing $0.76 (Some of them, like the maps, a lot higher, even with steams highest sale (like up to $5 still)). Always worth checking out their bundles for each week. They rotate them out. Their monthly subscription games are really hit or miss though.
was just coming here to ask that myself, thanks, not sure where you see that though š® (is that time for PC also?)
Is the new feeder Scent Tube Feeder. Would that bring in snow leopards?
Yup!
Awesome. What is the radius of the feeders
could i get some help please? i tried to buy the new dlc, but in the middle of it being approved, its timed out, the money has been taken from my account, but i dont have the dlc, nor is the money on my ps5 store, so where did it go? and how do i get it back? ive tried to buy it twice, thinking the first time was a fluke, but its happened twice now, anybody know where i can get my money back?
400m from center
You'll have to contact Sony Support for that
i see, thanks, ill try that
Okay cool so pretty good distance. And I read with the largest feeder that carcass one. Is one tiger its own group?
All tigers are solo afaik
Yeah they are. Just some can share the same lake right? But they'd class as their own group
That I am not sure on. Haven't hunted them much yet myself
Okay
Is anyone else having trouble installing the new update on ps5? I am having storage issues. How big is this update?
SO big
96kg
So strange. My ps5 is saying it needs 95gbs of free space
Yes
Did you mean gb?
Kg
kg isn't a typical measurement for downloads
kb is smallest usually used followed by mb then gb
wait how big is this update?
The memory this update needs has amassed 76kg
kg doesn't tell us anything š
I'm assuming your kg = gb
kg is definitely not standard
Tomato tomato
Definitely not lol
Comparing real-life weight to download sizes lol
Any clue as to why 5-10 minutes after i start recording or live streaming my game crashes? Works fine when not doing either of those but soon as i start recording or live streaming it crashes once then works fine after that.
does anyone have a picture of all the new fur types for mule deer? i cant find it
Best guess is that it's closing to protect you from overloading something. What are you CPU, GPU, and RAM usage stats at when you do that?
Plenty shared in #š¦ļø“general recently
ill have a look š
i'll have to keep an eye on those usages but i steam and record other games that use very high detail and graphics with no problem
Every game is different even if they appear similar - coding and how things function can create a lot of different outcomes that may not be expected (this is why bug troubleshooting is such a pain).
Mines 15.11 gb on Xbox s
So this is a known bug from what I can tell from googling it,
Creating a loadout with a tent in it causes a break in it where you no longer own the tent.
I know how to get the tent to be recognized as owned again...
My question is. Is there a way to save a loadout where a tent in it that loadout and won't break and not be owned?
I am also unsure if this is because I put a custom skin on this particular tent. I don't think I have tried a unmodified one.
I am on xbox btw
Do you get any errors or does it just shut down?
i send in a report when it gives me an option but doesn't give me a crash code or anything.
Ok, gotcha, thanks!
Is this rare? 8 at diamond?
yet browm yak is uncommon but with adiamont yet brown is rare
what are the specialties of recurves and compounds?
I didn't ask about fur. Is it rare to find a 8 mythical diamond?
yeah its rare
anyone else having trouble with their boar spawning in to feeders? i have 4/8 that are blank and lacking on the other 4 ive been running this for a couple weeks and its suddenly changed
does anyone know when the spring sales typically start?
March 19 is Steam's Spring Sale
Whether this game will be included or not is not confirmed - but likely
awesome thank you š
ahh okay i see
YOU š«µ
ARE YOU DOING WOLF FEEDER YET
I JUST PRINTED MY POPULATION SHEET
ALSO HONSE - MY SPREADSHEETS ARE READY
-# minus the harvest tracker which I will fight and add later
OKAY
NOTED
@ ME WHEN YOU NEED IT PINNED
WOOOOOOOOOOO
I can yeet now!
yeeessss
Community resource incoming for here and general ~ 
Map Field Guides (Web View)
-# Simple document where each map has their own dedicated tab. Includes general map information/image and species list with medal thresholds, fur types/rarities, need zone times, and feeders/callers.
Quick Reference Data
-# Document that can be copied to your personal drive to use in order to quickly find information. Includes pages to check maps, species, and great one data.
-# they hath been yeeted
this is awesome
I see a mistake somewhereš„ŗ
I'm sorryš„¹
Black bear only exist in solos, not pairs like foxes
That's a really cool guide you have tho
Don't be sorry! I had to do a lot of digging to put together a lot of this so there's very likely some inaccuracies currently
Oh yea I can see the digging
Lots of info for everything
Must've taken a LONG time
So for black bear, there's no need to kill females for the respawn. Is that the same for grizzlies and brown bear as well? I can update all three quickly
I've been working on this on and off since... uh... November? š
I'm not sure about brown bear, I know grizzly bears exist in pairs tho
Jeez
Okies I'll just adjust the black bear for now
-# quickly scribbles in
Lots of dedication
Peak
Updated
I do know some ammo types are missing for the quick reference sheet and I'm sure some of the furs are categorized incorrectly since I'm using the game's trophy lodge filtering as "truth" for them and I've got a tiny personal collection so far lol
Legitimately this all started cause I wanted to track all of my kills personally for stats... and of course that's the one part that isn't functional now since my shift to a permanent source of truth document š
Too new-feeder hyped to continue messing with it today tho
yes
We need these pinned
Oh
hehehehe
Already had my whole mess approved for pinning months ago
It's just taken forever to do š
did they change the need zone times for manitoban elk on askiy ridge? its 5:25am and theyre eating. i dont think thats normal
seems like google lied to me then
Use my fancy little sheet in pins~
They should all be accurate for need zone times by map
Google is slow
the one you posted today?
yee
alright thanks ill check it out
And wildly innaccurate for most cotw things lol
Usually is for game information
unbelievably inaccurate, told me to use the box feeder for tahr when they weren't even able to come to it lol
It knew the future
Can someone pls help me? Im on steam and I cant download the new update
huh i think my game might just be acting up @candid lantern
they left the feeding at 5:50am
It says contact file locked
... contact file locked?
I haven't hunted them yet myself so not sure on this š That is odd behavior tho
okay well good news seems like they are traveling to a lake now? ill see
bit late to travel to a drinking zone
or thats just me
Content*
Aah. Could be an antivirus thing. Try PC restart and if that doesn't work, make sure to run Steam in admin mode so it has the clearance to write the update data on your drive
seems like they were just being weird, found other elk drinking at different lakes
Revontuli Coast is good for moose?
all of my animals are acting weird
yeah maybe its the update?
its awesome for moose, got 3 diamonds in 3 days
last couple days
definitely recommend it for moose
for me just now, well ive only been hunting on revontuli and now askiy
my boar grind is all over the place and its been smooth for 2 weeks
PC or PlayStation?
pc
How do you manage to control ALL the areas?
what do you mean?
i just put tents a bit around the map around all water zones
and just went lake to lake
theyre at all water zones across the map if im not mistaken
got all 3 diamonds on the northern parts though
Where's the best place to find coyotes in cheelah on layton lake?
But there are MANY drinking areas and only 16 tents per map
yeah true but i dont even use all 16 tents tbf š
i can share where i kind of placed them later on if you want?
You don't have to hunt all the zones
yeah i skipped the whole shoreline in the south
