whats the furthest a bow can shoot is it 150m
and what bow is that that can shoot the furthest or is it only the zeroing that is the max amount

shrewd hare
#

CB-70 is the most powerful one. Bows max zeroing is 60m but you can use the 5-pin sight to get further shots.

last hemlock
#

thank you so much longest shot i got was like 70-90+ meters with the rangefinder for the bow adds on from the high tech pack

#

ill check the video now

shrewd hare
#

I've shot 150m with the rangefinder sight tho

#

So that sight is the easiest to use

#

The lowest pin on 5-pin sight is around 100m so you can shoot 50m further with the rangefinder.

last hemlock
#

ahh i see would you recommend the range finder

#

is it possible to just only bow hunt

#

as i would refund all my points and use only bow

#

i thought bow were meant to be silent ive killed about 3 deer jsut now and about 3 wild hogs but the other seem to run away

shrewd hare
#

I'm a bowhunter in the game mainly since I find rifles to be too easy 😄 Getting close to the animals and taking them down silently is awesome.

#

I have guides for different bow hunt styles too so check those you! 🙂

last hemlock
#

yeah i can defiantly agree on that but i sometimes miss and hit that shoulder bone and im like damn

#

is it in a playlist

shrewd hare
#

Yea it's in my cotw list. There are three bow guides. Stalk, ambush and hybrid.

last hemlock
#

can you give me a insight on what to watch first and are there different skill builds to use

#

should i get the 48k compound bow first

shrewd hare
#

I actually don't have a guide for the skills. i should do that 😮

#

All the compounds are pretty similar. CB-70 has most power but they all take animals down effectively.

last hemlock
#

yeah that would be a video i would watch as i refunded myn at such a early level 10 and cost me like 14k cash

shrewd hare
#

Pumping iron is the most useful bow skill. It increases bows power and penetration.

last hemlock
#

what increases range

shrewd hare
#

You can shoot through a moose from front with that 😄

last hemlock
#

id like to learn 5pin as it would feel more realistic

shrewd hare
#

That helps with that since arrows fly faster

#

in the stalk bow guide I do touch what skills you'd want for that style.

#

Not bow perks but skills

last hemlock
#

im kind of like aggressive and stealthy if i can be is that possible for a build

shrewd hare
#

Then I think stalk hunting works the best. You spot animals and then silently approach them. If you have their caller, you can get to cover and call them in.

#

If they are in a need zone, you can stay around the zone after you kill one from the herd and hope they come back. Animals won't always come back to the zones anymore and if they are nervous, you can't call them in.

#

Something to keep in mind 🙂

last hemlock
#

yeah im like 10k away from the 48k bow which will be my next big purchase

#

and then buy bulk tracer arrows

#

unless its a bad idea incase "COTW" decide to add new arrows in

#

are you able to get camouflage clothing like classic with ghili suits

#

with the 5pin and 3pin there's not really a noticeable difference in gr and meters @shrewd hare

shrewd hare
#

For max and min no but with 5-pin you get a pin for the inbetween shots.

last hemlock
#

ahh i see can you link the playlist please cant seem to find it for the bow

frigid ember
#

in cuatro colinas im doing the Packed Off mission where i need to spot 1 wolf zone in the colina rita area. i spotted a wolf sleeping which activated the wolf rest zone but the mission didnt proc at all. do i need to proc a zone with ground inspection intead of spotting?

sinful dock
#

How do we track animals if they're always going against the wind.... It keeps screwing up my shots and they can smell me much easier. Yes, I crouch.

exotic folio
#

Scent eliminater

dark mango
#

@frigid ember are you sure the zone is inside the required area? do the mission specify any zone type (feed, drink, rest)?

sinful dock
#

@exotic folio thanks

dark mango
#

if not, try spotting directly the need zone; if that doesn't work, it might be a bug I guess

exotic folio
#

Np

frigid ember
#

yeah it was in the big ol orange zone, the rest zone did disappear after i shot like 4 of them, ill try again later and if it still dont work then its a bug

dark mango
#

if you kill every animal in a need zone, it will disappear

#

so you may want to leave at least one alive

#

it's not much of a problem with drink zones, but it's always useful to have feed and rest ones

flat pumice
#

getting an animal that's down wind of you means sneaking all the way around if you wanna get close

#

or if you dont wanna, just blast the scent eliminator and get them from a little distance

last hemlock
#

thats sucks would of got a diamond coyote but used wrong ammo was 4points off

robust tendon
#

so i was on a multiplayer server with my friend and i got a diamond red deer but he accidentally claimed it. is there any way for him to gift it to me at all?

prime stirrup
#

Nope, not that I know of. You could trade systems/hard drives lol

robust tendon
#

lol thanks anyway

#

kinda dumb concept that someone who didnt get the kill can harvest an animal

robust tendon
flat pumice
#

there used to be critters

robust tendon
#

like bugs?

sharp matrix
#

No like squirrels and weasels

proud plover
#

and hare

#

hare on layton before they were actual jackrabbits

robust tendon
#

ohh ok thanks

gritty otter
#

Can someone give me a list of what time whitetails are active in zones?

wild osprey
#

best way to hunt them is in their drink zone which is from 12.00 - 15:30

sinful dock
#

So I killed a bear, I didn't have enough money to taxidermize as it costs 7,500 coins. I saved it for later so I can turn it into a trophy as it is my first kill(aside from beginning deer). If I go kill or save another aninal, will the option to turn my bear into a trophy disappear? I'm 400 coins short and I really want to trophy this guy.

chrome loom
#

It's safe. There are ten slots to save harvests in to taxidermy later.

sinful dock
#

@chrome loom thank you

winter solstice
#

i need some help. Im a level 18 and i got 41,943 cash at the moment. Should i buy the 7mm? i already have the .30-06, and the mosin. I dont really have many shotguns and ive never even shot a animal with a handgun yet. Im starting to get used to bows now though.

#

Also, Should i keep hunting on layton lakes? I have a quite good setup right now for elk and whitetail deer.

humble heron
#

@winter solstice you cant go wrong with the 7mm... one of the best guns in the game and you can Hunt Class 9 Animals with it.

#

I'm spotting a drinking group of Jackrabbits but don't discover a need zone - anyone got an idea why?

#

How to equip the camera

do i have to aim higher if i shoot a bow against the wind?

vital night
#

still with the not dropping blood or tracks. lucky i double lunged from close but you can see where the grass folded where he ran and the shot happened at the right edge of the screen shot no blood splatter. if you expect me to continue buying dlc fix your game.

delicate zodiac
#

Did he not run far enough to leave tracks?

vital night
#

it should still drop an initial blood spot

delicate zodiac
#

True

#

Hey quick tip, sometimes it’s good to explore new areas instead of going to the same place every time. I just got an albino springbok because I visited a tiny lake that I hadn’t even acknowledged before!

median pollen
#

Good point and nice harvest!

winter solstice
#

i might go hunt goose, any suggestions?

#

like how da heck do i hunt goose LOL

gritty otter
#

Get a tripod or ground blind get the caller and call

#

Also if you go to a different reserve then go back to it you have a 100% chance a flock will be going to you same thing with the ducks

winter solstice
#

@gritty otter got any gun suggestions?

#

and spot suggestions

gritty otter
#

Nordin virant streckers game keeper or wat ever it is called anderson and the miller and suggestions for spots straw fields and cornfields anywhere on the map large fields are the best bet

#

And if you can get 60 decoys

jovial thunder
#

60!?

#

I'd say It's a b i t to much

#

20 is enough

#

Hey all, I am a new player and loving the game so far, got the 2019 edition yesterday and played 4 hours nonstop before realizing it was 3 A.N

#

A.M

#

I wanted to ask about the lofge

#

Lodge

#

How can we access it and do we need to have the dlc reserves locations aswell for them to unlock or are they a more stand alone dlc?

silent wharf
#

Where can I get the devs to respond because I have pinged them several time but they never respond

last hemlock
#

I think that EW needs to take another look at the mountain goat coat. They don’t have the long coats they do irl, and it makes me sad that they look the way they do. it’s really a big issue, and idc if I get banned from this discord, it’s worth bringing it up

#

this is my favorite animal, and it shouldn’t look like this. The irl one clearly has a long, shaggy coat. The one on the right, looks sheared and naked compared to the irl goat.

sharp matrix
#

it's not the model it's just the length of the hair

jade zealot
#

Is there any way that I can get the devs to add The Hunter cotw back onto Nvidia Geforce Now? It doesnt do anything to the game it just lets me cloud stream it but I dont think that the devs are aware that they have to opt the game back in.

#

Like @silent wharf said the devs never respond to tags

last hemlock
#

where do you guys recommend to duck hunt

exotic folio
#

How many stands can you put on a map?

delicate zodiac
#

@last hemlock look around the smaller ponds and lakes near the rivers

#

It is easy to set up blinds and decoys there

last hemlock
#

around what map though bud

delicate zodiac
#

Layton

last hemlock
#

im on layton lake right now

#

i only have a layout blind rn

#

ive got most of the dlcs apart from the goose dlc

#

@delicate zodiac hey what map is shonfeldt

#

does hunting pressure matter for goose

exotic folio
#

How many stands can you put on a map?

last hemlock
#

as many as you'd like im pretty sure

exotic folio
#

Ok

delicate zodiac
#

Hirschvelden has Schonfeldt

last hemlock
#

hunting goose is super good for xp and money just killed 6 in the span of 3minutes but had like a 6min wait before flocks came in

delicate zodiac
#

And hunting pressure matters for goose in the terms of the population

#

Not the need zones

last hemlock
#

would you say its better to get t4 pressure then move to a new zone

#

how many decoys should i put down before it reaches max attraction

delicate zodiac
#

I go for 30 decoys, ten of each, but it might be a bit overkill

#

It looks like the Summer coat

teal breach
#

What's the biggest thing the 45-70 can reliably kill with a lung shot

silent wharf
#

I dunno I feel like a shaggier coat would look better

delicate zodiac
#

It would be

#

I'd much prefer a longer beard

teal breach
#

Like I don't wanna chase a wounded moose, grizzly, or lion

delicate zodiac
#

Could heart shot those

#

Cause with every single weapon, they'll run off for a bit unless you heart shot them

#

See what I usually do is shoot it and give chase because the animals in this game are fantastically tame

#

Like the grizzly bears NEVER attack you unless you're practically riding them

last hemlock
#

is it better to let the goose land if they even do

delicate zodiac
#

Depends

#

If you're in a flat field, then somewhat

#

But if you're on a slope, best to shoot them out of the air

#

Cause when they land, they will start to notice you

teal breach
#

I mean will an animal consistently be vitally hit

#

Because I want good penetration

delicate zodiac
#

I don't know, I haven't used that gun, but it seems like it has very good penetration

#

Granted though, they have a much shorter range than most other rifles

#

45-70's effective range is within 75 meters

#

While with most rifles it's ~150

#

Although this does look like a great "YEEHAW" gun

last hemlock
#

out of 7-8 shots ive killed 7 from my spot

#

of deer and wild hogs

#

with a compound bow

#

how many animals do i need to kill to get rid of pressure again @delicate zodiac

delicate zodiac
#

You have to wait a week or two

#

Then they respawn

last hemlock
#

i mean ive kept killing in my same 2 spots as the hunting pressure disappears after a certain amount of kills but wasnt sure how many as ive invited people onto my game and we farmed like 1hour+ non stop

#

between 2 spots

#

@delicate zodiac wanna do some bow hunting i have 2 really good spots

delicate zodiac
#

Nah

obtuse berry
#

Grizzly hunting with recurve is super fun because you have to get very close and when you shoot em then they go aggressive

#

Its pretty epic

last hemlock
#

how to use activate TruRacs

delicate zodiac
#

They're always active

#

Well

#

For some animals

#

Like cape buffalo, elk, etc

last hemlock
#

i dont seem to have the score rating for like beams, times, spread of rack etc

#

it never shows up

delicate zodiac
#

That's how to check trurac score

#

If the harvest screen doesn't have it, the animal doesn't have trurac

last hemlock
#

ahh ok thanks

last hemlock
#

@delicate zodiac it does look more like the summer coat I agree. But the longer, shaggier coat looks 10 times better

gritty otter
#

That’s melanistic????

olive shoal
#

fairly sure this map is meant to be during the summer

#

judging by the green birches/aspens

Which weapon pack dlc would you say would be the best for a player that is playing for the first time?

#

Pack 2 or pack 3?

quartz birch
#

The one with the mosin nagant

coarse venture
#

Is the m1 garand better than the 30-06 from weapon pack 3?

#

Just the penetration

quartz birch
#

30-06 are same I think, let me check my inventory

proper steeple
#

Some bullet same penetration

#

30-06 has better recoil so you can fire more bullets quicker

flat pumice

M1 is louder tho

#

and it goes ping

I got Weapon pack 3 for the 30-06 and i havent used anything else, its basically a 7mm with 4 rounds instead of 1

#

can someone give me some duck hunting tips? I've hunted geese, but the ducks, i can't seem to lure them in, and when I see them, I can't get close enough before they fly away

delicate zodiac
#

Set up a blind in a watery spot that you commonly see ducks in, set up a bunch of decoys, get in the blind, and start calling

#

Keep in mind, harlequin ducks can't be called in

violet narwhal
#

the blind is essential? I currently have the decoys set up, I'm on a stand, and its night

#

i'm after cinnamon teal

delicate zodiac
#

Ah I think one duck caller can call in cinnamon teals

violet narwhal
#

ya, i've got it too

#

i'll go grab the blind, and maybe try the morning

#

is there a particularly good time to try?

delicate zodiac
#

Not to my knowledge

violet narwhal
#

still not luck haha man this sucks

delicate zodiac
#

Yeah

#

The duck hunting needs some love

violet narwhal

i just wanna do my missions lol

maybe i'm still doing something wrong

#

Which mission?

i saw ducks in the spot i'm set up yesterday ingame

I need a gold Cin. Teal

I'm at a lake right next to Casita de Cordoba. but i don't wanna move since its a pain in the ass to set up

last hemlock
#

does a drilling rifle count towards the hunter club beta for kills with a shotgun if i use rifle bullets

bitter swift
#

use the rifle and it will count towards rifle, use the shotgun and it will count towards shotgun

#

its treated as two separate guns

flat pumice
#

when the game is back on GeforceNow she could run it on that

humble heron
#

what exactly is the point of the pumping iron perk? even without it a 600g arrow penetrates a bison almost from front to back. Or do they go down quicker if you have it?

flat pumice
#

not really sure, but it might make the arrow fly faster/flatter

#

and just increase your chances of a really good hit

jovial thunder
#

It's useful if you're shooting them at long range

#

like 100-150m

humble heron
#

ah, okay, thx 🙂

olive shoal
#

@pine spruce tell her to try turning her in-game resolution down

#

works for me

humble heron
#

do you guys think the skill for longer spotting duration (tag) is worth it? I kinda wanna go with pack mule, that leaves one point in tag, one point in innate triangulation - or no points in tag and two points in innate triangulation.... any thoughts?

last hemlock
#

Yes, you can take shots if you just see the outline of an animal and can’t re spot it

#

Especially if you get a bad shot and re shoot when it’s trotting

flat pumice
#

the long spotting thing is nice when you wanna switch weapons or something and find it again quickly

humble heron
#

okay, i guess i'll go with only one point in innate triangulation then... thx guys!

flat pumice
#

i dont even know what that is

#

is that the one that draws a line on the gps?

humble heron
#

nope, its the one that makes the indicators for animal calls smaller

flat pumice

oh right

Besides the decoys, does anything else lure Harlequin Ducks?

did they nerf the ducks at the pond right near the outpost? I've heard so much about how many ducks there are at that pond but I've never seen any ducks. lots of blacktails and moose(s) near the lake but no ducks

Is this an ok place to ask if shed antlers work in cotw the same way they do classic or do they have specific spawn points

delicate zodiac

No they have specific spawn points iirc

odd kindle

that sucks

#

i hope they change that at some point

delicate zodiac

Yeah, if they add it, it’d show the antler of the individual it came from

Which could be really good or really bad

To be honest, sheds are the least of what CotW should change/fix/add

The sky towards the end of the video

I just watched the video and it looks fine to me too

#

I didn't realize the video didn't show the flickering

#

Maybe you can't actually see it but it's something to do with the refresh rate of my monitor as I checked the video on my phone

I have a 120 or 144hz screen, can't remember....

If I put game in windowed mode it doesn't flicker but windowed mode is not borderless and makes me click my start menu sometimes :(

what's the ideaal range to shoot plains bisons form .338?

I saw on zaggis newest video and I noticed the feed zones is now almost a full day. Wonder if they are going to change it across all maps, will really change up the meta

question. If i buy a pack, do i have to buy the weapons ig or do i get them for free?

also would you guys recommend me buy a dlc for guns or for areas?

crude ruin

@jovial thunder around 80 yards is ok. The closer the better really just so you can drop them. The 338 does work so

jovial thunder
#

@crude ruin a bit to late but still thanks

I have tested this myself and for 338 I wouldn't go farther than 150m

did the hunter call of the wild take themself of geforce now?!

crude ruin
#

Did a big oopsy with a friend on multiplayer. we accidentally overhunted a area and now it's bright pink and one of the need zones disappeared. is it gone forever? or can i hunt other spots and it'll come back?

shrewd hare
#

Animals on that need zone will usually go to another zone outside of the hunting pressure. Hunting elsewhere will lower it in time too. But Keep eyes open in that area where those animals have gone. Sometimes they make new zone just outside of the pink not too far away.

crude ruin
#

oh okay thank god. i was so carefull on not overhunting a spot in single player and got worried when we were careless

potent drift
#

Best map for making cash?

#

Im at about 60k

#

but i wanna get more

shrewd hare
#

If you got geese dlc, they are big money

potent drift
#

I have got that yeah., never really used it though

shrewd hare
#

1k each on average and it's chill gameplay. You can do it on the side, doesn't need your full focus.

potent drift
#

And which map is that best on?

shrewd hare
#

Hirsch

#

Pick a nice open field, put 20 decoys on the ground and a layout blind, hop in and wait. When you hear honking just start calling and blast them when they get close enough.

potent drift
#

reco gun?

shrewd hare
#

Any shotgun will do just fine and the .22lr for longer shots.

potent drift
#

Ive got 10 of each of the canada goose decoys by default

#

and ive got the layout blind

shrewd hare
#

Yup that is enough for one setup

#

20 decoys will give you max attraction

potent drift
#

Ive got the caversham 12g with some rounds aswell

shrewd hare
#

Will do jsut fine. Just to use birdshots and you get full score.

#

I've had best luck at mornings but they will come in through out the whole day most of the time.

potent drift
#

So i havent gotten the 12g birdshot shells

#

ive got the 20g and .410

shrewd hare
#

20g will work good too

#

That's the shotgun from the dlc. You can get all the shotguns color variations and equip them to different quickslots. This way you can switch from one to another while shooting. Gets the job done more effectively than reloading 😄

potent drift
shrewd hare
#

Nice. Get the caller too! Find an open field, put decoys and blind close to them and you're set.

potent drift
shrewd hare
#

Looks good to me. Use the blind too so you are more hidden 🙂

potent drift
#

Will they come in to land or just fly over

shrewd hare
#

They will fly over and get attracted to your decoys. Use the caller when you hear / see them so you get them closer.

#

If they fly in V-shape, they haven't broke yet. Use caller and see if any will leave the V-shape. They will then come down to you.

potent drift
#

Is there a best spot on the map for them?

shrewd hare
#

Not too much for the geese since they fly around the map. You can see some guides on youtube but can't quarantee they'll work for you since everyones map is a bit different with spawns.

#

You can make multiple setups with tents around the map tho. This way you can check multiple spots fast if the one you're in now doens't work. But that gets expensive pretty fast 😄

What is the best loadout (dls too) that is good for every map

Could somebody please tell me, what the standart track/collectables/stads colors are on medved? if you know what i mean.

delicate zodiac
#

@woven bramble 9-12:30

#

@silk vale last time I checked pink and blue

#

I don’t play Medved often though

silk vale
#

is it spring-green or cyan-blue?

#

because i don't know either

delicate zodiac
#

Electric blue I think

silk vale
#

ok thank you so much dude

That's all need zones across all maps. I'm fairly certain it's accurate.

#

Are beige cinnamon teal rare?

last hemlock
#

out of the 3maps what would you say is the best to get parque right

#

is smoking barrels worth it

#

these are all the dlc i brought int he past and returned after a week off and see they have a sale what should i buy

#

only looking to spend £5 i have most of the dlcs anyways

prime stirrup
#

Vurhonga is my personal favorite dlc so that’s an option

#

And if you’re an experienced play with a lot of trophies, a lodge would also be good

#

Saseka safari is the bigger lodge out of the 2

amber edge
#

Vurhonga has the most animals off all maps

#

So it is a good option

olive shoal
#

actually cuatro does

#

also there's way more than 3 maps 🤔

#

i suggest waiting for silver ridge

#

however if you want something completely different than probably vurhonga or parque

last hemlock
#

Have anyone experienced something similar to the issue I am having? Like I setup my maps to hunt a specific species, with tents/tripods and such. I set to a drinking time, I go around to all spots which could range from anywhere 10 to 40 spots and then when I run out of time, I simply reset the time to start of drinking time again and repeat the process. This works wonderfully well the first 4-5 times, and after that it seems like the species I am hunting for is gone from the map for a long time before it's there again.

#

silver ridge is coming out on the 23rd, thats the only problem

#

and the sale ends on the 21st, right?

Any recommendations for the mission on cuatro colinas " The Marksman Challange"? the one where i have to shoot a Ibex from over 400 meters away? i have the Martensson rifle but any tips on where to go?

#

I have the weapon pack that includes the 22LR
what are the highlights from the two other packs (not including the smoke and barrels one)? I might buy one and only one of them

#

I mean, what's the best about them? why are they worth it?

shrewd hare
#

Mosin on weapon pack 2 is really versatile gun. Drilling rifle can cover basically all the animals since it's using two shotgun barrels and a rifle in same. 30-06 from pack 3 is one of the best weapons in the game pretty much.

robust sierra
#

where is the best place to shoot an animal

#

idk if its lungs or heart

storm gate
#

lungs is safest bet

steep depot
#

I think there should be a customizable zeroing, like for bow max would be 60 and you could choose 3 ranges within 0-60. for riflrs max 300 or even 400 etc

#

its not help and tips for other players but didnt know where to put it

dark mango
#

@shrewd hare thanks
the drilling rifle sounds really nice, I'll go for that one probably

The drilling is fun but not efficient

What is max score for plains bison

#

Have you ever deleted zones on purpose because they were hard to reach? Cuz im really thinking about it with my east shore wt zone.

Deleting zones doesnt do anything animals still show up there when the pressure is gone regardless of if they have a discovered zone or not

wtf is that?

So I may have made an oopsie. I am doing a mission in Med Ved where I have find a poisoned lynx. I was almost at the area and I saw a Lynx, entered the area, and shot it as the lady said "Get me a photo!" Now the Lynx is dead, so photos don't count. Did I just break this mission, or is there a way I can salvage it? I was expecting a harvest request not a photo request D:

is buying the tent pack worth it

delicate zodiac
#

I mean can't you buy tents in game?

#

Usually, I don't use tents a whole lot

#

But they are useful

mint anvil
#

i think the recurve is the only bow that's not part of the base game, maybe crossbow too but i don't remember

storm gate
#

crossbow is a weapon pack

#

I think its the one with the .22

mint anvil
#

I always carry a tent when exploring the maps

delicate zodiac
#

Crossbow came in weapon pack 1

#

With the recurve

#

And the .22

mint anvil
#

Ye

delicate zodiac
#

I rather like it, and the .22 is useful as all hell for long shots on geese, ducks, and rabbits

#

And looks like turkeys too soon

mint anvil
#

i like all the weapons in that pack

#

more so now that the recurve will be more flexible than before

delicate zodiac
#

Yeah but ngl, the longbow is gonna replace it

mint anvil
#

Yeah maybe, I rather like the lack of aiming spot tho

delicate zodiac
#

I mean

#

The weapon pack 1 is currently $2

#

what animals are on yukon

mint anvil
#

Caribou, Moose, Plains Bison, Grizzly Bear, Gray Wolf, Red Fox and Harlequin Duck

#

and where do i get fallow and red deer

delicate zodiac
#

Hirschvelden has fallow deer and red deer

#

Parque Fernando and Cautro Colinas has red deer

#

Hirschvelden is free?

#

Yes
They all are

At least on multiplayer

mint anvil
#

yes it's in the base along with Layton Lake District

also that ^

so say i shoot an animal on a reserve i dont own can i still put in trophy lodge

Hello how do i get a game profile from my old computer to my new computer?

crude ruin
#

So i'm pretty sure this is the most asked questions without a answer but i'm on the last ( i hope it's the last) mission for don miguel to get the martensson rayo. and he want's me to harvest a diamond animal. any tips? lol

last hemlock
#

@crude ruin Either by playing normally, or camp drink zones after a certain animal

crude ruin
#

are all diamonds level 5?

last hemlock
#

No, some animals go up to lvl 9 and some animals only go up to lvl 3

#

and then there is the Whitetails that only go up to lvl 3 but has a chance to spawn a lvl 10, the great one.

#

It's a bit confusing I know

crude ruin
#

hmmmmmmm damn. i got real excited cause a muflon score range was like 150- 190 level 4 but it wasn't a diamond. i got it but sadly no. imagine looking for a diamond for 10 minutes and getting one lol

#

i really wanna get the Rayo before silver ridge drops

last hemlock
#

Yeah diamonds can take minutes upon weeks to get. It's all down to numbers

#

The more you kill, the more chance of a diamond you will find

#

Also to keep in mind, only males spawn males, female spawns females. So only kill bucks/stags/bulls etc

#

The only exception is gemsbok i think, that can also make diamonds at lvl 4

drowsy oriole
#

Female rabbits will make diamond

#

Any female predator can reach level 8 though it’s rare

last hemlock
#

Oh yeah they do, forgot about those lil buggers

crude ruin
#

in Cuatro Colinas. what would you lot say is the "easiest" diamond. i'm currently camping a Muflon and Beceite Ibex drinking/sleeping need zone. the one near the outpost and lookout point

last hemlock
#

Mouflon and gredos are the easiest iirc

crude ruin
#

Yeah. i've seen alot of alllllmost diamonds Mouflon's where i'm at. im feeling really lucky because i've killed like 7 golds all doing don's missions and i feel like the game is spitting out more high level males at me. lol

Has anyone gotten the Mårtensson 6.5mm Rayo? Do I really need to get a diamond in Cuatro Colinas to unlock it?

mint anvil
#

@rare pasture in ...\Documents\Avalanche Studios\COTW\Saves there should be a folder named with a bunch of numbers, copy everything inside that numbers folder and paste it into their numbers folder, remember to make a copy of everything before and put it on a safe place just in case something goes wrong, (you can quickly create a zip file of the Avalanche Studios folder).

If they don't have their numbers folder they should create a character to have the game create the folder with the numbers.

Now I'm not a dev and I don't really know how the saves work in this game so it may not work, maybe the hunter club beta could have problems with this but I don't know for sure since I've never tried this.

fathom oriole
fallow ermine
#

thanks!

prime stirrup
#

If personally say smoking barrels is the best weapon pack

#

It has the m1, which some people consider the best gun in the game, and it has the muzzle loader, which from what I can tell is a really strong gun for big game

last hemlock
#

I really have tried my best to like the M1, but I cant PepeHands I enjoy the sound of 30-06 far too much to make the switch

prime stirrup
#

Honestly I really like my base game loadout, 7mm, .243, and bow

#

It covers all classes so I haven’t felt the need for anything else lol

amber edge
#

I love the Solokin

dark mango
#

the number of shots before you need to reload, what's its name?

#

does the .300 have it higher than the .338?

#

is it better in any other way?

keen cedar
#

it has slightly smaller caliber so animals will take a little longer to die

#

It has a 4 round magazine tho which more than makes up for it imo

dark mango
#

nice, thanks, let's buy it then

prime stirrup
#

Yeah the .300 is to the .338 as the m1 is to the 7mm

#

Less power but more shots

dark mango
#

cool

#

may I shoot both classes 1 and 2 with the grelck changing ammo?

keen cedar
#

Not really sure tbh. Never really liked the grelck

dark mango
#

in fact, theoretically I could shoot all classes using buckshot, slug and rifle ammo, right?

keen cedar
#

I amagine youd need birdshot for geese and ducks and maybe even foy and the such

prime stirrup
#

And slugs don’t cover class 9 (buffalo) I’m pretty sure

keen cedar
#

but the grelck rifle ammo does

gritty otter
#

The greleck used to be my favourite gun but then I got the 7mm

I have this one blind next to a lake on Layton
One time, I found a max weight estimate elk
Shot him and he was a meme
There is no hunting pressure by the lake
Does that mean he respawned?

@prime stirrup Set time for around noon and check the bodies of water

@prime stirrup the water holes during their drink time

Well obviously you go to the water during their drink time, you apply that logic with almost every animal

#

But like are there any lakes in particular

#

That are lion hotspots

#

Or is it just sorta general

Basically just general. They roam around a lot

I have a question. For a beginner, The Family picture quest (photograph two different black bears) do they have to be in the same shot? How close does it have to be?

compact frost
#

Couldnt figure out a fix in game (was in multiplayer and didnt want to leave unless necessary). Returning to main menu also did no fix it. Had to Exit to Desktop, and now I can jump.

#

@strong locust Nope! Pretty sure you just need to get two photos of individual blackbears. Usually it will specify. "Take 4 photos of 4 individual wolves in 4 separate photos" or "Take X photos of Y animal in one photo" The problem is the photo quests are either buggy or finicky. You have to be within like 25m for the photo to count.

oof.. alrighty. i just had one almost run into me and took a picture of it.. guess it worked. and yeah you just have to be very close i guess

in the centre of the map on layton, I forget the name of the area

there's an island in the middle of the river

When you are in one place and turn your camera and it makes noise, is that noise that the animals can hear?

Cuz it doesn't show on the noise meter

I'm about 99% sure that no they don't hear that noise.

feral meteor
#

Ok 👀

strong locust
#

Whats the best way to hunt coyotes?

crude ruin
#

If it doesn't say it makes noise on the noise meter you're good. also just a tip if you didn't know. setting up tree stands/those seats that are really high up. and tents make ALOT of noise so be carefull

#

honestly the best way to hunt yotes is to set up a tree stand at night and use that caller like no other and wait. there is no point chasing them cause their senses are so good

feral meteor
#

Wym they make noise? Like to place or they idlely make noise?

crude ruin
#

like when you Place said tent/treestand. it makes so much noise.

feral meteor
#

Ah

#

Then how you even supposed to use them

crude ruin
#

well what i do is i set it up and either A. close down the game and restart it or B. just go off and hunt other places for a while

It can be useful for shooting stuff up in yo grill as the kids say

And less than 3 meters away

delicate zodiac

Like for example, if the ai decides it wants to run up on you, you can dodge it and hip fire into its flank

I have the Mission to get to the Outpost but i already had the Outpost cause i played Multiplayer before. How can i reset my Map Progress?

It should normally trigger once you get near the outpost

#

inb4 someone gets stuck on the mission called "a dangerous reaction" once the mission stops telling you what to do, make sure you pick up all three trail cameras near the mine, that should trigger it to complete.
For some reason it doesn't tell you to pick them up.

Okay I figured it out, I had to kill the bear that appeared and stayed in the area (Or so it seemed) after investigating the bear marks on the tree + following the human footsteps.. The mission advanced before I even harvested the bear, just shooting it seemed to do it.

on the new map. the quest A Dangerous Reaction. It tells me to replant the sign. but i have no prompt as to where.

weary hollow
#

If you head to the front of the cave and look at the ground and run around eventually you will find the interaction spot.

cunning siren
#

ok. i did find. it. smallest spot ever. The sign is not vissible but got the quest done! Thanks

weary hollow
#

I have found the bear spray, shot the bear, found the tree with scratch marks and her phone

#

and her foot prints leading up to the point of interest

#

what more do they bloody want

calm dust
#

I'm pretty sure that's all I did. Made sure to examine each footprint etc. I think the bearspray doesn't even matter since it like that one table near that one lookout point just seemed to trigger that Remi Warren voiceline bit.

#

But if it did matter I restarted my game (thus resetting the mission) and the order I did it in was phone -> tree -> footprints -> shoot the bear and before I even harvested it I got the next mission

#

Maybe I picked up the bearspray too after the footprints but not sure about that

next verge
#

whats the max estimate/max difficulty for the new rocky mountain elk? the 4's are looking pretty big already, so i'm assuming they max at 5?

The "A Dangerous Reaction" mission isn't completing for me, despite having done all of the tasks. A little help?

do you guys have any idea how to make the game save? Ive tried messing with sync and turning off defender and i cant get it to save. lost 6 hours of gameplay because of it and im gonna have to quit if theres nothing else

thorn hound
#

@mild cypress Its Auto Save

#

Well is on PC... Little white square appears in the bottom corner when its saving.

#

During the part where you have to inspect the train tracks on SRP, what are you actually supposed to do?

proud dome
#

Does my light at night make me more visible?

olive shoal
#

@proud dome No.

proud dome
#

Thanks!

#

I feel like I'm doing something wrong with the hunting lookouts you can build; whenever I go into one I can sit there upwards of half an hour using lures from time to time and have absolutely no success whatsoever

#

In the quest Old haunts where you are suposed to photograph the dead animals, i find 5 dead pumas and photographed em all. nothing happens. is there another one somewhere that im just missing?

Do I need to kill low level whitetail deer for higher levels to respawn?

pallid junco
#

when do turkeys feed?

feral meteor
#

have they been out long enough for people to find out?

pallid junco
#

maybe

delicate zodiac
#

Yes

#

Lemme check, I think I've got some need zones on my map

feral meteor
#

tis not on the wiki yet so idk

pallid junco
#

pronghorn do drink at 9:30

#

idk how lomg

delicate zodiac
#

5-15:30 is my turkey feed zone

#

I have 8:30-10:30 as pronghorn drink

pallid junco
#

thx

#

turkey feed like all day wtf

delicate zodiac
#

Yeah

#

All the animals feed a long time

#

It's a lot more realistic than drinking for 5 hours, going to eat for 2, resting for 4

#

Cause most animals hunt/graze all day

feral meteor
#

i wonder when that new tab in the spreadsheet can be added for silver ridge peaks

pallid junco
#

do turkeys roost?

#

(in the game)

delicate zodiac
#

No

#

They fly but they do not climb or roost

#

I was doing the mission where you had to inspect the railroad and such on SRP, but had to go. When I came back, the whole mission had reset; meaning I had to clean up the shed again. However, I can't go inside the shed, because the door is still intact, and I'm unable to interact with said door.

#

Can anybody help me fix this? Can I revert to an old save or something?

olive shoal
#

still no luck, i've been trying for an hour now

#

please help

Is it normal that my consecutive harvest bonus resets to 0% after I load a different reserve? Or do I really always fail to harvest all of my shot game?

bitter sinew
#

Does the Beacon Deluxe Duck Caller work on all 4 duck species, or just Mallards and Cinnamon Teal?

strong locust
#

Besides using a tree stand.. whats the best way to hunt coyotes? (i.e: locations, terrain, time, ect)

dull belfry
#

how long for hunting pressure to dissipate

bitter sinew
#

It seems to last indefinitely, until you hunt elsewhere and then it removes little by little as you kill things in other areas. It even seemed to persist when changing reserves

lavish arrow
#

@bitter sinew Harlequins are not attracted to the duck caller. The others, in theory, are. It will say so on the caller description in the inventory, or you can check the animal in the Codex and it will tell you.

proud dome
#

Am I doing doing something wrong with the hunting lookouts you can build? Whenever I go into one I can sit there upwards of half an hour using lures from time to time and have absolutely no success whatsoever

lavish arrow
#

@proud dome It depends on the time of day, if there is a need zone in the area (esp. one you have discovered), etc. If it doesn't seem to work, come back later in the day (or the night) and give it a try. Most are pretty good if you can work out what animals can be expected and when.

#

Some are really only good at night time

proud dome
#

Gotcha, thanks! And I don't suppose there's any way to increase my render distance past the max by changing an ini file is there?

lavish arrow
#

I have no idea. I just play by the rules the game sets, but I know some people have found work arounds.

dark mango
#

@proud dome there is a mod that increases it up to 750m, search nexusmods
mods are illegal in mp games, and probably prevent you from getting tech support

proud dome
#

@dark mango When you say illegal do you mean it'll get me banned or it'll just be frowned upon?

dark mango
#

as far as I know, ew does not enforce this rule
the worst will happen is someone will come here ranting about "cheaters" who prevented them from winning... nothing?

#

I'm just letting you know what the eula says

proud dome
#

Ah phew, thanks

dark mango
#

just use it when you play sp, and don't do it when you play mp

is the mission to go to the top of mount silveridge bugged?

Do someone have new help sheet about weapon classes (if its updated) + can answer what is range of sound that tents and pulpit make?

hello, im sorry if somebody ask this before but is Out of Her Comfort zone mission bugged somebody else?

#

im in this place and i found footprints but nothing happened after that

median pollen
#

You're going to want to find a tree with bear scratches

#

If that's already happened, there may be bear tracks in the area

slim obsidian
#

do animals move when you sleep in the bed to change time?

#

like if you drive the ATV to a lodge then sleep back a few hours would the animal movement be simulated and they're back or do they remain where they were beforr u slept ?

silk vale
#

@sonic sorrel you have to shoot and harvest the bear that wants to attack you

sonic sorrel

thx

can i drop those %? :/ (graphics processor) i had the same problem with classic but i closed the launcher and it worked fine, but the problem appears also in cotw, i have nvidia geforce gtx1070 and i play on medium settings

how many "spots" are there in Prosperity ?

#

Ok there are five, be sure to have a confirmation by Allan when you take a photo otherwise, it doesn't count

please stop deleting my messages

what did i do

shy rapids
#

anybody have ideas on more eeffectivly hunting pronghorn

solar ledge
#

Hi i come back after a long time break of this game. I have some questions, i know they changed the spine meta. Now is it still better to use soft point ammo (non penetration ammo) and aim for the lungs ?

An other question about scent eliminator. The scent eliminator really work ? how effectiv is it ?

#

oh and for the medal, if you shoot animal with lower tier gun do you lose medal for wrong ammo using ?

prime stirrup
#

@solar ledge poly tip ammo is still better, soft point can hardly ever hit vitals for me. Scent eliminator isn’t that good. And yes, you lose a medal for using the wrong ammo.

proud dome
#

@last hemlock That's a normal amount of usage; 2gb ram is stupidly low

dark mango
#

@last hemlock why do you play on medium settings? my gpu is worse than yours and I play on almost everything ultra

#

anyway, it's not unusual for a gpu to be working at 99% most or all the time with many games

proud dome
#

Yeah, my 1070Ti runs it on ultra with no issues

old vortex
#

shit, i got a RX 580 and run ultra @ 60fps

dark mango
#

I got a rx 580 myself, I'm not sure it can run this game on ultra at 60fps at all times, unless cpu is an important factor (i5 7500)
in any case, I personally don't need constant 60fps in a slow paced game like cotw

solemn marten
#

Hi i'm stuck on the mission Out of her comfort zone on at silver ridge peaks, are you supposed to find bear scratches on a tree? if so what tree

quartz birch
#

@solemn marten closest tree to the phone

solemn marten
#

ok I also just shot the agressive bear

#

Ok mission complete thank you @quartz birch

Anyone have any favorite mallard spots on Layton? Spent 3 hours sitting on a need zone yesterday on 20 decoys, in a blind, calling, for 6 birds lol (felt like a day of real duck hunting)

gritty otter
#

cheelah roonache balmont

bitter sinew
#

Cheelah I only found some night time need zones. Any specific areas in Balmont? I hunted on the long system of ponds for my 6 birds last night

prime stirrup
#

How do respawns work relative to location? Like if I kill something, when it respawns will it go to the same need zones as before or will it have a new schedule?

last hemlock
#

it will go to the same zone

#

That's what I think atleast for what I have seen

silk vale
#

Where da hell is the "silver ridge peaks trail"? if somebody knows that i would appriciate it if you told me

novel shell
flat pumice
#

yea im lookin for that trail too

#

helps that nothing indicates it

bitter sinew
#

Just jumped ~60 mallards (at a completely unrealistic range lol) on Roonachee pond. Made a circuit and saw no need zones. What's the strategy for trying to hunt something like this. Do I just sit here with my deec's out blasting on the caller or should I go look somewhere else?

flat pumice
#

you just sneak up to the waters edge and blast em if they're in range

bitter sinew
#

I was prone and they jumped for 200 yards

flat pumice
#

that sounds unlikely

bitter sinew
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

flat pumice
#

maybe their needzone watch went off

#

all the animals have a little watch that tells them what needzone to go to

proud plover
#

exactly

#

they might start their need zones or start moving towards it 30 min before

#

and be still at their need zones or near around 30 min after also

bitter sinew
#

didnt find a need zone on or near the water for Mallards, so is there any way to predict more coming in?

proud plover
#

You can hear them quacking in flight or on nearby waters surfaces (even if you don't see them)

#

i do this for harlequin ducks on the yukon bridge, mallards and canada goose at night

bitter sinew
#

Ah okay. I sat on a needzone yesterday and they flew in ~30 minutes before the end of the marked time. Figured that was the only way to bird hunt. So mostly just hoping to get lucky? Been sitting here an hour without any quacks lol

proud plover
#

yeah, i mostly only ducks if i see them

#

mostly hunt*

#

One day, i saw 60 mallard in one lake, and i put a tent too close to their need zone.

#

and they dissapear

bitter sinew
#

Damn, I'd definitely prefer to jump hunt, so hopefully it was a you guessed and they jumped because of a timer and not because of my proximity, because I was faaaaaaaar lol

proud plover
#

yeah lmao

bitter sinew
#

close on 20 years of duck hunting IRL and never seen ducks spot me proning through the woods like that!

flat pumice
#

i can get within 50yards easy to ducks on a lake

#

mustve been something else

bitter sinew
#

must have been, I had a marker down on them and swung out into the forest and went prone at ~400 yards, hit the auto walk and ate my lunch while I crawled. At close to 200 yards the entire pond jumped

#

wind blowing in my face too, so they didnt scent me

halcyon grove
#

Is there any way to report someone for hacking in a public session on cotw?

mossy hazel
#

Anyone else having a problem with the new reserve mission "The Ascent" not having map markers on where to go?

feral meteor
#

so with the lodge dlc do i still gotta pay in game to open a lodge and how many lodges can i have of each/same kind?

gritty hearth
#

hey yall i have been having an issue of the game crashing on startup. if anyone have any idea on what to do it would be greatly appreciated. i have been trying for 2 hours today to fix it trying various diffrent tips to no prevail

proud plover
#

hotbread, you can 64 if you want

#

can have

gritty hearth
#

not sure what you mean by 64?

proud plover
#

i meant that once you have either lodge you can have as many copies of it as you like to have

feral meteor
#

ooo

proud plover
#

i have currently 2 spring creek manor lodge filled with animals

feral meteor
#

ima have so many lodges then lol

proud plover
#

well, there is a lot of plaques in one

#

it took a year just to fill one

teal breach
#

Where are the ||dead animals in the ghosttown?||

mortal vigil
#

Is there any guideline to multiplayer? Kind of like an etiquette? Never did MP yet

teal breach
#

Don't steal kills

mortal vigil
#

Ok 😄 Can I use other peoples tents to access my equipment or fast travel?

feral meteor
#

ye kill stealing is horrid

#

i'd think so, unless they specifically say no

mortal vigil
#

Need zones I find on other ppls map are just shown to me or to all? and i guess they won't be on my map when Im done

amber edge
#

@mortal vigil stay away from other hunters

#

The needzones you find will appear for everyone currently on map but will only remain on the map of the owner

teal breach
#

So yea, where are the carcasses in Prosperity

compact frost
#

Hey guys! I noticed the 22LR DLC Pistol has it's aim way off. I recorded a video, but does anyone know where I should send the video so the devs or someone can look it over and hopefully fix the gun?

mortal vigil
#

No, but does it happen with reddot only or ironsights too? I was wondering as well that i cant hit anything

compact frost
#

BOTH

amber edge
#

@teal breach you talking about SRP story ark?

mortal vigil
#

@amber edge Ok 🙂 thanks! Are there benefits for the host of a map to host it? Others could find "his" rares and shoot them

amber edge
#

The needzones

#

People grinding for you

compact frost
#

@mortal vigil I tried to use i tbefore, but I kept missing everythign with iron sights. Never took the time to check it at the range or something since I didnt have any red dot I just assumed it was my lack of skill at using iron sights.

I kept using my rifle, unlocked the red dot, and decided to check it before going out to huint with it. I took aim at a specific place on an outpost and shot. Missed up and to the right. Ok maybe its the sight. I take the sight off, shoot with the iron sights, and now I'm missing UP but not to the right.

I take out my 22LR Rifle with a scope on it, ADS so I can see the cross, put my thumb on my monitor so I can remember where the centre of the screen is. ADS with the Red dot on the 22 Pistol and my thumb is completely covering the red dot, so the red dot is too far LEFT from centre, but it was lined up properly on the vertical axis.

amber edge
#

@mortal vigil but that is mainly it

#

More often than not they just take your diamonds and rares

#

So I only host for my friends

mortal vigil
#

Needzones is a really big thing, i guess nobody will delete more need zones than adding new ones i guess

amber edge
#

And sometimes I gift animals I find to strangers

mortal vigil
#

like spotting them and writing in chat so they now?

amber edge
#

Yeah

#

A month ago i found two female mela pumas, so I took the biggest one and played outfitter for a rando on the flinter discord

mortal vigil
#

wow, that's a kind thing to do 😄

amber edge
#

Then I took a trophy shot with him and his panther

#

I like being outfitter

#

Lol

proud plover
#

aha

#

nice move

#

it must have been very weel appriciated

#

appreciated*

amber edge
#

I don't often give away diamonds because I don't get many

proud plover
#

wait

amber edge
#

But small rares are not that rare actually

proud plover
#

was it a melanistic diamond

amber edge
#

No

teal breach
#

@amber edge yes

amber edge
#

A lvl 2 female puma

proud plover
#

so why did yous ay i don't give often diamonds ?

#

say*

#

i don't understand

amber edge
#

The puma was the last time I gave an animal away not the only

#

Back when I played xbox I gifted diamond blackbucks because I had like 5

teal breach
#

I know where the end hunting now shed is

#

But I can't find the dead animals

proud plover
#

oh i see

#

rocky elk drink at 17 : 00 -18:00 from what i heard

#

that's all i know

amber edge
#

You know what @proud plover if I find a rare I'll tell you first man

feral meteor
#

wait question are reindeer and caribou 2 different things in cotw?

proud plover
#

thanks

#

but i only play on singleplayer

#

you got upload them on the wiki if you want

#

coud

#

dammit could*

#

yes hotbread

mortal vigil
#

What happens to the map if the host disconnects? Will it stay active and be full of new need zones from other people when the host jumps into his map in single player the next day?

proud plover
#

you become the host i think

amber edge
#

If one of the other hunters have the map they'll become host

feral meteor
#

thats really weird.... are the maps located in very different areas? since they are literally the same animal just with 2 different names depending on if they are in north america

teal breach
#

So yea, where do I look for those animal carcasses

proud plover
#

yes and no hotbread

amber edge
#

If none of the other hunters have the map you get 10min to get your things before it kicks you

proud plover
#

it is like moose are sometimes reffered as elk in europe

feral meteor
#

no, they are the same thing

proud plover
#

or mountain lion/puma

amber edge
#

They are from two different regions

proud plover
#

they are indeed the same thing hotbread

#

the region they live in gave them a name

amber edge
#

And in alaska they became a slightly bigger sub specie because of abundance of food

feral meteor
#

then im confused which part did you say no to?

amber edge
#

They are bigger in alaska

proud plover
#

thats really weird.... are the maps located in very different areas? since they are literally the same animal just with 2 different names depending on if they are in north america
@feral meteor

#

are the maps located in very different areas

feral meteor
#

oh ok

proud plover
#

yukon is near russia

feral meteor
#

where is the other one?

proud plover
#

medved is always white

amber edge
#

They are subspecies like brown bear, grizzly bear, and kodiak grizzly

proud plover
#

brown bear is the specie

teal breach
#

So yea, about that story mission

proud plover
#

or black tailed deer

feral meteor
#

but where is medved supposed to be located?

amber edge
#

No clue zha

proud plover
#

is a subspecies of mule deer

#

Russia

teal breach
#

Ffs

amber edge
#

Russia

delicate zodiac
#

Yukon is Alaska

feral meteor
#

i am looking at the usa map and yukon is said its in canada

delicate zodiac
#

Could be

feral meteor
#

the river i guess goes out of canada

delicate zodiac
#

Both are Yukon River Valley

feral meteor
#

thats confusing

delicate zodiac
#

Nah

#

Yukon River goes in Alaska and Yukon territory

feral meteor
#

ah ok

proud plover
#

NO NO NO

#

Yukon is part of Canada

feral meteor
#

well that explains why they have different names

delicate zodiac
#

Yukon is a territory of Canada

proud plover
#

oh sorry

#

i just re-red what you said. Thought you said yukon was USA

delicate zodiac
#

Nunavut could be Yukon's Silver Ridge Peaks but icy and rocky

feral meteor
#

yukon is in canada and medved is near russia

delicate zodiac
#

Medved is Siberia

#

Which is Russia

feral meteor
#

so they are named different

proud plover
#

Nunavut isn't

delicate zodiac
#

Nunavut is in Canada

proud plover
#

close at all to the Rocky Mountains

#

I Live in canada buddy

delicate zodiac
#

It is a territory with chad hunted animals

#

No

#

I mean

feral meteor
#

nun is in canada

delicate zodiac
#

Layton has Silver to the East

#

Yukon could have Nunavut to the East

#

Cause Nunavut has awesome hunting

proud plover
#

Yukon, NW Territories [Which include nunavut until 1999]

#

then Nunavut

delicate zodiac
proud plover
#

Under BC, Alberta, Sask, Manitoba, Ontario, QC, New Bruswick,

#

etc

#

i went to all the provinces except newfoundland

teal breach
#

They say that Yukon Valley is supposed to be in Alaska

proud plover
#

to please americans

delicate zodiac
#

Yeah so?

proud plover
#

but canadians are very satisfied with the name

delicate zodiac
#

It doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's in the Yukon River Valley

proud plover
#

i know

#

but it is cool for us canadians to have something

delicate zodiac
#

But Nunavut would be specific to Nunavut

#

It's the perfect spot for an Arctic map

proud plover
#

I don't understand what you want to say with Nunavut

#

oh now i see

#

Muskox, Arctic Fox, Caribou, Polar Bear, Arctic Wolf

delicate zodiac
#

Oh there's much more

proud plover
#

yeah

delicate zodiac
#

Nunavut: Musk ox, polar bear, grizzly bear, pizzly/grolar bear, arctic wolf, arctic fox, snowshoe hare, caribou, king eider, and snow goose would be my perfect Nunavut list

#

Could cut some like the grizzly and pizzly bears
