[maiden tree]

Thank you 😄

[brazen sail]

ty!

[last hemlock]

personally i take the .300, musket with minie balls, .243 and 1891

[brazen sail]

will the blue one insta kill him?

or will i have to search for the dead body for years

[last hemlock]

what gun are you using

@brazen sail

[onyx plinth]

Red insta kill cause it's the heart, but kinda hard to penetrate cause the bullet has to go through the thicc shoulder

Try to shoot it broadside instead of from the front

[brazen sail]

:270

[onyx plinth]

u want 7mm at least man

[brazen sail]

7mm? okay

[last hemlock]

at least

.300 would be optimal, imo

[onyx plinth]

my go to is .300, or the 600gr arrow with bow

[brazen sail]

to penetrate the heart?

[onyx plinth]

yeah

they thicc animal

[last hemlock]

or the 10gauge with slugs

that deletes bison

[brazen sail]

hmm, how can i practice that? i havent hit the heart in 15hrs yet

[onyx plinth]

just shoot em ?

it's easier to practice shoot them when they are still, not when being chased with ATV

[brazen sail]

i dont do that xD

and do i need a dlc for .300

cus i only have the rangemaster and 7mm

[onyx plinth]

.300 is yukon dlc

7mm is good mate, you'll probably stuck w it for awhile before you unlock the .300

[brazen sail]

hmm is there any good weapon in one of the weapon packs?

[onyx plinth]

the smoking barrel dlc got the shotgun that can use slug ammo that covers class 9

[brazen sail]

yep but i have to unlock it first thats t he problem

my shotgun only has 2 shots

which animals should i kill with it

[onyx plinth]

check this list https://thehuntercotw.fandom.com/wiki/Integrity

[brazen sail]

thank you

[brazen sail]

which is a good weapon to hunt goats for example? so one shooting fast

to get alot of them each time they comeback drinking for example

[toxic bane]

Mountain goats or feral goats?

Or ibex

[onyx plinth]

id stick to .270 for class 4, but .243 is also good as long as it's broadside

well if you have dlc, there are many other better alternatives for .270

[brazen sail]

the ones i find at silver ridge lakes

i think its mountain

they are like class 1-3

most of the time

[spring girder]

4

[onyx plinth]

pretty sure they class 4

[brazen sail]

i mean difficulty yea they are class 4

[toxic bane]

So mountain goats, which are class 4 - any weapon that reaches class 4 can kill them, but the best ones would be the ones that start at 4, so with 4-8 or 4-9 ranges

What DLCs do you have?

[brazen sail]

silve ridge peaks, tripod and ATV

[spring girder]

Then the 7mm is the best choice for them.

[brazen sail]

nothing crazy

[toxic bane]

Okay, so only base game weapons

[brazen sail]

i can kill the with my 270.

but i cant get alot of them

[spring girder]

That's good too.

[brazen sail]

because of its slow pace

[toxic bane]

.270 is 4-8 and has 5 shots, 7mm packs a better punch but only has 1 shot

[tranquil tundra]

I'd advise picking up the Yukon DLC at some point, mostly for the .300

[toxic bane]

If you can get a good bit closer the .45-70 also works

[tranquil tundra]

that thing annihilates bears, and drops both moose and bison pretty quickly

[toxic bane]

3 shots, but lever action shoots faster than bolt action

[brazen sail]

what about the 86

[onyx plinth]

pretty sure they are similar fire rate, it's just one has less recoil

[brazen sail]

is it a good weapon

[tranquil tundra]

thing about the .45-70 is that it's restricted on range

[onyx plinth]

shitty scope too i heard

[spring girder]

And it also has half the expansion.

[toxic bane]

Which is why I preceded with 'if you can get a tad closer'~

[tranquil tundra]

the scope isn't that hard to use

[toxic bane]

Yeah the scope is great

[tranquil tundra]

it's identical to the caplock's

[brazen sail]

so 270 will be my best choice

[toxic bane]

Yeh

[brazen sail]

aight, which of the scopes is recommended

[spring girder]

That's a personal preference.

[toxic bane]

Greatest magnification you can get, imo

Hyperion definitely, or Argus if you have unlocked it

[tranquil tundra]

Hyperion

Argus for the longshots

[toxic bane]

Which of the two you prefer is up to you

[spring girder]

Hyperion is very stable, much less wobbly than the Argus.

But has less zoom.

[brazen sail]

let me check for a sec

[toxic bane]

Argus has that juicy 16x

[brazen sail]

i do use the hyperion

[toxic bane]

Do you feel like you could use a higher zoom?

[brazen sail]

sometimes yeah

[toxic bane]

Then unlock the Argus if you can

[brazen sail]

but i have the fear that at somepoint it will be tooo big

[toxic bane]

And give it a whirl

[brazen sail]

2k points to go

[thick marsh]

Argus is good for long range (200-400m)

[toxic bane]

Don't hurt to try

[onyx plinth]

ive never used Argus personally

i just stick to Hyperion

[thick marsh]

But for close range the zoom is a bit too much I think

[brazen sail]

will take some time, by then i will prob. have the money to buy it

[spring girder]

Just try both and see which one is better for you.

[brazen sail]

btw. if i place a tripod i can destroy it and place it somewhere else afterwards right?

or do i have to get them each time for 16k again

[toxic bane]

You can move tripods yes

[brazen sail]

good

[onyx plinth]

well if hyperion still works for you even on long distance, just stick with it

there are other things worth spending more than the scope

[brazen sail]

i dont try those shots cus the breathing is too much most of the time so i sneak more closer

[brazen sail]

7mm or a new binoculars ?

[onyx plinth]

7mm first

[brazen sail]

aight

5k to go

[onyx plinth]

since you are hunting bison xD

rangefinder is nice once you have the zero-ing skill

[brazen sail]

i have zero-ing

but i do it by placing markers

[toxic bane]

Rangefinder is less jank than spamming markers~

[brazen sail]

yea so i will get 7mm, and then the rangefinder

[toxic bane]

What level are you, btw?

[brazen sail]

10

[last hemlock]

7mm or 300.???

[brittle summit]

.300

[toxic bane]

Ah, good

[toxic bane]

.300 if you're exclusively hunting 7-9

[brittle summit]

i use 7mm for fleeing WT shots

[onyx plinth]

.300 all the way for big daddy animals

[brazen sail]

i have that much money because i found a frozen tribe of rockymountain wapiti

i could kill like 15 of them and they werent moving

[brittle summit]

MP?

[brazen sail]

nope

single

[brittle summit]

damn

[brazen sail]

i dont use cheatengine or stuff like that

[toxic bane]

They freeze like that occasionally

[brittle summit]

freeze glitches are nice

[brazen sail]

they were just there

[toxic bane]

Definitely take advantage

[brazen sail]

but i wasnt able to even hit heart once hahahaha

i got the worst rating on them possible

[brittle summit]

insert 0.4m bowshot

[brazen sail]

only one was gold, rest was nothing

[brazen sail]

i should have used that yea

[toxic bane]

Well, if the males have antlers, females without antlers don't get any trophy rating

[brazen sail]

but i noticed they are frozen way to late

[brittle summit]

i once had a full herd of red deer frozen

it was fun

[toxic bane]

Still good forcash tho

[brittle summit]

yeah

100k is nice

[brazen sail]

WHAT

how much did you got per deer?

[brittle summit]

although i make that money from WT

about 800-900

[brazen sail]

most wapiti gave me 600

100 deer??????

in one herd

[brittle summit]

no

[toxic bane]

Maybe it was multiple herds?

[brittle summit]

i have 150k on me rn

i grind wt

so its free money

[brittle summit]

About 20

[toxic bane]

The biggest herd of reds that I've seen was about 24 members

[brittle summit]

but there were multiple herds drinking there that got frozen

so 50ish

idk, it was a long time ago

[toxic bane]

I had about 20 hinds freeze on me on Cuatro once

Could only shoot 15, didn't want to delete the zone

[tranquil tundra]

pretty sure the AI freaks out if it has to manage too many things at once

[brittle summit]

its also cool to see a wt lag the hell out on rancho

it gets stuck

it runs for 10s

then it teleports to a new place

[last hemlock]

When is the ranch coming to console

[tranquil tundra]

Don't know yet

[toxic bane]

Keep an eye on #📢︴game-news

[brittle summit]

far away from Syliphn, the broken hunter who uses weapons in unethical ways that would make the deer want to hunt back
Terrible hunter

aka i shoot does with the .470

in the head

[toxic bane]

Aaaaand banned from all reserves on the planet

[onyx plinth]

everyone secretly shoots bunny with .470 if they have it

[brittle summit]

awww dang

[toxic bane]

When I was really new and had no DLCs, I spotted a whole flock of mallards just stuck in the air, I said 'hey, easy money' and shot them all down with the .243

[brittle summit]

Mallards freezing is a weird thing

i joined a MP server a while back

and within 10 seconds i shot down a whole flock

[onyx plinth]

you had me on shooting mallards

[brittle summit]

Then ppl were like: “u hacking?”

[split atlas]

Any tips for cinnamon teals? I wanna try out duck hunting I don't have any experience with it waterfowls in COTW yet

[brittle summit]

they’re basically everywhere

pop em with the .22

[split atlas]

how nice

[toxic bane]

Most bodies of water on Parque have a good chance of having at least one flock of ducks somewhere

Callers and decoys are a bit borked, so the best bet is to just run around with the 22LR rifle and snipe those you can see

[tranquil tundra]

also need zones are a thing with ducks

fair chance they won't actually show up until halfway through the zone's time though

[toxic bane]

Eh, I wouldn't trust need zone schedules too much

[split atlas]

Ah, that’s a bit of a shame, kinda wanted to take advantage of the decoys

[brittle summit]

spook range for the crossbow?

[onyx plinth]

100m?

[brittle summit]

that feels like too much

[onyx plinth]

some people say 50m, some 80m

i just keep 100m in mind for conservative estimate

[fierce wave]

It's 90 or 100 by what I've had experience wise

[brazen sail]

how can i insta kill pronghorn without a heart shot?

[spring girder]

Double lung.

[brazen sail]

thank you

.270 with good ammo should be enough for thaat

[spring girder]

It should be plenty.

[toxic bane]

I know that 30'06 drops pronghorn with double lung

haven't tried .270

[brazen sail]

but imma get the 7mm soon

that should do the job too

to get a double lungt, should i aim close behind the leg?

[toxic bane]

from broadside ye

[brazen sail]

jep

my tripod is in the perfect postion

[spring girder]

Also, just so you know. If you manage to shoot the cervical spine, that's always an instant kill and counts as a vital, but it's easy to miss.

[hidden basin]

spinal cord is not a vital

lower, middle, and upper neck are vitals tho

[brittle summit]

cervical spinal cord (the neck)

[hidden basin]

o

[spring girder]

The upper neck is literally the cervical spine...

[hidden basin]

coulda just said necc

[spring girder]

That's a fair point.

[last hemlock]

Yo i have the drilling so i shouldn’t buy a 7mm??

[hidden basin]

id suggest getting it cuz 7mm has much better ranged capabilities

[toxic bane]

anything neckbone kills with vital hit, you don't have to hit the cervical cord

spinal cord tho doesn't count as vital, even if it's an instakill

which is silly

[spring girder]

I literally didn't say anything about the cervical cord.

[hidden basin]

anyways

necc = instant dead

[spring girder]

And vital.

[hidden basin]

its a tricky shot tho

[spring girder]

I'm just not very comfortable taking that shot.

[hidden basin]

yeh me too

im more comfortable with a frontal heartshot

especially when you get a moose that is just BEGGING to get one

[dire solar]

Neck isn't that hard of a shot just got to get the middle neck and your good in most cases

[toxic bane]

not talking about you specifically, just the convo in general

[spring girder]

Sorry.

[toxic bane]

isoki

[brazen sail]

i often try it but it never works out haha the double lunght shot is far more effective for me

[hidden basin]

yeh, necc is not an easy shot to make. but it's really satisfying if you manage to land it

[spring girder]

I prefer to aim to the heart from the sides too. At worst case I get the lungs. With the neck...at worst case it's a flesh hit, which is pretty bad.

[brazen sail]

what is a good weapon setup to use in silver ridge peaks? i have the .270 .300 and a bow

[toxic bane]

Honestly that's good

[dire solar]

At least if your hunting something big that can survive a flesh wound you have a 2nd chance if you miss neck

[toxic bane]

I'd add a .22LR for turkeys but that's up to you

[spring girder]

SRP is easy since there aren't any class 3 animals.

[brazen sail]

yea but the weight, i am also using a tripod

should i buy a backpack?

[dire solar]

Why SRP is best map

[toxic bane]

Backpack increases noise and visibility, which makes it not worth imo

[brazen sail]

i choose SRP as my first dlc map because its so open

[dire solar]

you Don't need a backpack, just don't carry 50 guns and 10 different tents

[brazen sail]

i make so much money there by just killing pronghorns

[brazen sail]

i know i carry a bow, a rifle and a tripod

[spring girder]

I have the Pack Mule skill. I like it.

[brazen sail]

i dont have tents

[dire solar]

Max you need on a map is like 3 guns

Most cases 2

[brazen sail]

so what should i choose, the 7mm and the .270 ?

[toxic bane]

If you're comfortable getting close enough to turkeys for bow shots then your setup is more than enough for the map

[dire solar]

7 mil

[spring girder]

You'll want something for turkey.

[brazen sail]

i dont go for turkeys most of the time

[toxic bane]

then you should be fine

[brazen sail]

i never saw them, just saw some lonly

[spring girder]

In that case you really only need the 7 mm.

[toxic bane]

if you wanna save up some space you can just grab the 7mm instead of .270 plus .300

[dire solar]

SRP god class is 300 and 30-06

[spring girder]

That's my setup for that map.

+.22LR

[toxic bane]

just gotta try to make good shots on elk and bison

[brazen sail]

so throw out the .270 and only use the 7mm ?

[spring girder]

Yep.

[dire solar]

Heavily suggest buying yukon just for 300

[brazen sail]

i dont have any money rn

[spring girder]

Either .270 + .300/.338 or just the 7 mm

[dire solar]

Win mag ftw

[brazen sail]

just the 7mm will do the job

[dire solar]

Yes

[brazen sail]

also no bow ?

[toxic bane]

they already have the .300 i think

[toxic bane]

oh always bring a bow if you want to

the bow can cover everything

hecc, if you really wanna save space just use the bow for everything~

[dire solar]

That's if you have all arrows unlocked

[brazen sail]

i now have 7mm, tripod. but 8kg left

[brazen sail]

i never use the bow

so no

[toxic bane]

oh, well then

[dire solar]

Smart

[brazen sail]

because i dont now how to

correctly i never hit, even with zero-ing

[toxic bane]

if you have the extra space and wanna try out bow, might as well bring it?

[dire solar]

.270

[toxic bane]

420gr covers from pronghorn to bear

[brittle summit]

i run a backpack inside of a backpack inside of a backpack inside of a backpack

infinite storage

[brazen sail]

infinite noise and visibility

[dire solar]

You want a fairly easy time hunting mid class game 270 is the gun

[dire solar]

To hell with it pack every gun in the game

[brazen sail]

is the default revolver/shotgun any good?

[toxic bane]

but honestly if you have that much extra space might as well do .270 and .300 and make your life a little easier than just using the 7mm for everything

[dire solar]

I wouldn't say the revolver is that good

[toxic bane]

focoso?

.357?

it's meh~?

[brazen sail]

i dont have the .300, so i will do 7mm and .270

[toxic bane]

oh, i thought you mentioned you did

my bad

hmm

[brazen sail]

7mm and 270 ?

[toxic bane]

when you can, replacing the 7mm with .338 also works

[brazen sail]

7mm for bisons and stuff

[dire solar]

Guess it's time for you to start saving

[brazen sail]

i dont even have the dlc, but might get it

[spring girder]

You don't need the .270 AND the 7 mm. The 7 mm covers everything the .270 do plus class 9.

[dire solar]

O

[brazen sail]

is .270 more powerfull then the 7mm ?

[spring girder]

No.

[dire solar]

No

[toxic bane]

the opposite is true

[brazen sail]

i thought the 7mm is for stuff like bisons

to get that double lungth

[toxic bane]

does 7mm get double lung on bison?

[spring girder]

No chance.

[hidden basin]

it just BARELY gets single lung

[toxic bane]

even the .300 struggles on that sometimes

[dire solar]

7 mil is the ultimate mid to big game gun minus the godly range

[tranquil tundra]

yeah double lungs with the .300 have to be within 150m I think

[dire solar]

Idk I struggle to get accurate shots with 7 mil

[toxic bane]

7mm is pretty damn accurate for me

[dire solar]

I think I'm too used to the 300/30 06

[spring girder]

7mm is insanely accurate. I did perfect lungshots on pumas from 360+ meters

[brittle summit]

just use the .470

[dire solar]

Tf did I just put in?

[brazen sail]

thats maybe your good aim too

[brittle summit]

is the GO achievement a hidden achievement on steam?

[spring girder]

That's a good question. I wanna know that too.

[last hemlock]

Best longrange gun?

[dire solar]

300

Someone say otherwise

[spring girder]

.300 is very good, the 7 mm is very good, the Eckers is very good too, the 6.5 mm is also very flat shooting but it suffers from the lack of expansion.

Is it just me or the Feral Goat would make more sense as a class 4 animal?

[brittle summit]

i agree

class 4

[toxic bane]

every gun is good

except the .223

[spring girder]

XD

[brittle summit]

feral deer

[brittle summit]

true

[spring girder]

sad .223 noises

[brittle summit]

*sad .223 noises*

[dire solar]

.338 is the most forgotten gun once 300 came to existence

[brittle summit]

.300 is better

[dire solar]

Ik

[brazen sail]

the 7mm payed off! just insta dropped a gold bear

[brittle summit]

what level ber

[spring girder]

ded ber

[dire solar]

BIG BER

[brittle summit]

lvl 9 troll ber

lvl 3 troll der

[dire solar]

I got lvl 9 troll ber

[spring girder]

me too 😦 it hurt.

Not as much as the lvl 5 troll Eu Bison. But still.

[dire solar]

The ultimate pain is 5 lvl 5 troll elk

2 in the same spot

[brittle summit]

WHAT

[hidden basin]

6.5mm is my main lol

[spring girder]

I used it for a long time too. I love the Rayo skin.

[dire solar]

That was probably the most mad I have ever been playing this game

[brittle summit]

rocky or roosevelt

[dire solar]

Rocky

[brittle summit]

f

now im glad that mine didnt troll

[dire solar]

If any of you all hunt rocky mtn elk a lot you all know this pain

[brittle summit]

oh lord

big 4?

[dire solar]

Yup

You think it's a 💎 but it's not

Don't let the estimate fool you

[rare current]

Best map for Whitetail?

[brittle summit]

rancho

[hidden basin]

rancho currently, layton if youre a console boi (rancho has not yet dropped on console)

[rare current]

PC 🙂 thank you

[hidden basin]

yeh, rancho is a killer whitetail map

[brittle summit]

very

just got a lvl 3

[last hemlock]

Yo need some help. Im on ps and cant switch the ammo type on the drilling. Im pressing triangle and its not doing anything.

[spring girder]

You should hold it. At least on PC.

[sour basin]

class 1: .22 Virant
class 2-3: .243
class 4-6: .303 british
class 7-9: .300 mag

[zinc umbra]

can i have any tips for hunting Eurasian lynx?

They drink inside dense vegetation :\

[hidden basin]

use the caller and lure them out

[brazen sail]

does something like night vision goggles exist?

[brittle summit]

binoculars

[thick marsh]

In dlc

[brittle summit]

in the high tech bundle

[thick marsh]

There is also night vision scope

[brittle summit]

yeah but it sucks

because its 1-4x zoom

[tranquil tundra]

the scope is bad

the binos are good

and the bow scope in that pack is a lifesaver

[hidden basin]

NV binos are a godsend for night hunting

Especially small predators

[thorn raft]

how come multiplayer is grayed out?

[thick marsh]

I've managed to do quite well with the night scope. Of course long distance shots are difficult

[last hemlock]

Do tree stands and tripods save on multiple maps or solo maps meaning they don’t despair when u leave and rejoin next day someone ping@me

[tranquil tundra]

I know they stay on solo maps

[last hemlock]

@last hemlock on solo they stay but on multiplayer they stay on your server and on others it comes back to you

Thx guys

[last hemlock]

How to gain lvls fast bc I need skill points

[hidden basin]

kill animals. lots of animals

doing missions can also be good money

[tranquil tundra]

def do missions

[last hemlock]

So best xp from missions

[tranquil tundra]

quite a few missions also require you to hunt animals, so yeah basically

[last hemlock]

K lvl 26 atm need lvl 35

[tranquil tundra]

You could also go on a geese massacre

...if you're on PC, that is

[brittle summit]

what the-

game crashed

as soon as it loaded

[last hemlock]

What’s that

[brittle summit]

geese

get

shot

hundreds

of

times

[last hemlock]

I need@more info sounds like good xp. and money

[tranquil tundra]

Oh it's definitely good for both

they'll just keep coming. And they ignore hunting pressure too.

[mossy prism]

Has anyone found some good spots to hunt Rio grande turkey

[tranquil tundra]

Quite a few lone males in that area

also where I got my diamond

[mossy prism]

Thanks!

[tranquil tundra]

Word of advice: if you see lightning only a few seconds before hearing thunder IRL, pick up anything you downed and close the game for a bit.

Never know when the power might surge or go out!

[fresh thunder]

100% rancho

[brittle summit]

both irl?

[tranquil tundra]

like if there's a storm going on IRL

[fresh thunder]

oof lost internet for a while and new messages only showed up after i responded to an old one, ignore me

[tranquil tundra]

had a little power surge because of the storm that just went over

[fresh thunder]

^^

florida?

[tranquil tundra]

Connecticut, actually

[fresh thunder]

fair enough

[tranquil tundra]

the current tropical storm is going to swing by Friday morning

I'm supposed to be getting a switch game I preordered that day

[fresh thunder]

aye we just got part of it today here in georgia, didnt have power for like 45 minutes

[drifting kite]

so im doing mission doc #21 at layton lake, and i have to kill a blacktail deer at night around lake cheelah. however there are no tracks - no nothing - at this area and im not sure how i can sort of make them come here

[tranquil tundra]

There's a drink zone on the north side of the lake, near a hunting stand.

do not use the hunting stand until next patch

[drifting kite]

yeah i think hunting stands are broken im literally inside of it lol

also thanks ill check it out. been around the lake multiple times tho, but ill go there again

[tranquil tundra]

that drink zone is also shared by a group of 5 coyotes, which you'll need for a story mission

[real grove]

By far the best place to hunt turkey, go during feed time walk into the circled areas and youll see probably 8-10 fly out at you, once you start shooting theres a ton more zones in the area thatll spook and fly right at you

I had someone accuse me of freezing animals when I went over there in a mp server lol

[brazen sail]

I got 80k rn, i am using a 7mm with hyperion and i have the range master. what should i spent the money on? i have rifle xp maxed for what i can unlock

[toxic bane]

do you feel like you could use a higher zoom?

or like you'd like to make more shots, and end up being fairly close to the animals?

[drifting kite]

is this it? there is no other special areas

[crystal rampart]

Get the rangfinder binoculars that have two lenses

[tranquil tundra]

Where are you on the map?

and those look like duck zones

[drifting kite]

cant prnt scrn in game so sorry for small img through overlay lol

[tranquil tundra]

North side of the lake.

[brazen sail]

idk if i need a bigger zoom. because i do 300m at max with zero ing

[tranquil tundra]

there's a little clearing right at the shoreline that's perfect for a tripod if you have that DLC

[toxic bane]

circle the area starting at 1600, blacktail drink from that time til 2000

[drifting kite]

there is nothing here tho?

[toxic bane]

if you need it to be nighttime it doesn't hurt to start earlier just to spot a zone, as long as you take a shot after 1900

[drifting kite]

so nighttime is after 1900 then? ok

[toxic bane]

ye

and blacktail drink time is 1600 to 2000

[tranquil tundra]

Nothing there because you haven't found the zone yet. Of all the times I've restarted, there's always a drink zone there.

[drifting kite]

hm okay

[brittle summit]

great place for coyotes too

[drifting kite]

@toxic bane and when it says harvest - that means i can shoot the animal and loot it after 1900 right?

[toxic bane]

I would shoot and harvest after 1900, just to be completely sure

[drifting kite]

ok

[toxic bane]

feel free to experiment tho, and report back if you do~

[ocean token]

Anyone have good spots for mountain lions

I have a diamond rme and i want a rare or diamond lion for tactical espionage mount

[drowsy obsidian]

Theres a guy in trophy lodge chat hes a skin trader

[toxic bane]

maybe ping mods on that channel then

[drowsy obsidian]

im on a cool down.

[ocean token]

Seriously does anyone have drink zones for mountain lions

[toxic bane]

stop hunting mountain lions and start hunting bighorns at their drink time. I guarantee you'll suddenly stumble upon every mountain lion you could ever want

[analog grail]

Lol

[ocean token]

Then are there good spots for bighorns

[analog grail]

Also there 2 lakes on srp that almost always has a diamond at it

[brittle summit]

where is this

[ocean token]

Yes now

[analog grail]

Give me a second

[toxic bane]

but slightly more seriously, every srp lake is good

[ocean token]

Yeah just want some hotspots

[analog grail]

Sorry my phone sucks at doing small circles

[ocean token]

The one more north ive only found mountain goats

[brittle summit]

what a lie
never got anything good

there

[analog grail]

I've gotten like 15 of them at those two lakes

[ocean token]

Just got a troll goat

Wish I could prove you right

106 on the .

[brazen sail]

at those u can make easie 20k a morning

by pronghorns

[brittle summit]

what time

[ocean token]

Pronghorn?

I am at 6:30 and i got a lion and a goat

[brazen sail]

wait wrong picture

[ocean token]

Lol

[brazen sail]

the blue one

go there at 7

[ocean token]

Yeah i love those 2

[brazen sail]

i only chill there

[ocean token]

I got a diamond turkey over there

[brazen sail]

there are sooo many pronghorns and bears

[ocean token]

Bison and elk too. Later in the day

[brazen sail]

yep

but i dont care about those.

they give you maybe 200 more but there are only a few

[ocean token]

A bison party can give you 30k + if you’re lucky

That lake on the right @analog grail had a single doe mule

[analog grail]

Intresting

[ocean token]

At 7:14

Ive never hunted up there either

Wait

Nvm

I see a albino doe

Or a leu idk

[toxic bane]

mulie?

[ocean token]

Yep

[toxic bane]

bet's on dilute

[ocean token]

I am stupid

😭

[toxic bane]

patpat

one day

[ocean token]

It looked like a albino

[brittle summit]

hi stupid
i'm ||a person||

[ocean token]

Hi person

[brittle summit]

i burn hedges for a living

[toxic bane]

to be fair, they do exist

[ocean token]

😐

[toxic bane]

(I didn't take a pic of the harvest screen cuz setting up the trophy shot took a hot minute)

[ocean token]

It didn’t look like a dilute from far away

[brittle summit]

al
bee
no

[toxic bane]

hey, if it looks more pink than blue it could be albino

[ocean token]

I suppose the sun played a factor

Nah it said dilute

[toxic bane]

ah

[ocean token]

Also i am pretty sure there is a albino mountain goat at a lake i have. It is like pink

[brittle summit]

AL!
IT'S A BEE
NOooo 😢
al later dies from shock

[ocean token]

I haven’t git a track tho

[toxic bane]

so wait

in english, right

are you supposed to say alBYEno or alBEEno

[ocean token]

Albyeknow

[toxic bane]

since the lady in medved said albeeno I've been confused

[brittle summit]

albyeno

[toxic bane]

ah

[ocean token]

Albilnow

[ocean token]

Can males respawn as females?

[brittle summit]

we dont know
but probs not

[ocean token]

Gotcha

Are gray mountain lions good?

Uncommon right?

[analog grail]

Uncommon

[ocean token]

Dang got a gold

Do i tax?

[analog grail]

Up to u

[ocean token]

Welp whatever

[terse flare]

why do I get this when I try to join my friends game?

[ocean token]

Retry

[sage hornet]

So i seem to not be able to use the hunting structures that you can find, and build around the maps. Well, the raised ones at least, because I get put with the legs of them, underneath

got any clue why?

[hidden basin]

known bug

[torn ember]

Is there a way to change the track highlight colour in like settings or something

[hidden basin]

system
game

[onyx plinth]

you have to actually be in game cause different reserve can be set different color

[terse flare]

I did..

[torn ember]

appreciate it guys ❤️

[fresh thunder]

@ocean token if you add me i can send you a link to a spreadsheet that has all the information about what lakes have what animals at them

@onyx plinth that one doesnt have animal locations for silver ridge, which is the map the guy was asking about

[onyx plinth]

Hey can u dm it to me? My dms are open

[last hemlock]

What's the word, birds? Any new issues coming up?

[fresh thunder]

accept that friend request real quick, my dms arent

[torn ember]

Done

[tranquil tundra]

I had the render glitch happen with a goose. 😭

complete with the blink-and-you-miss-it auto-accepted harvest screen

just that goose so far though, and I already reported it

[last hemlock]

rip goosey 😦

Another person reported an invisible mule deer on rdar

[tranquil tundra]

oh deer

[last hemlock]

so it's still hapenning, just much rarer now

[tranquil tundra]

Improvement is better than nothing!

[last hemlock]

ye

[tranquil tundra]

this just occurred to me

the devs are bug-hunting, and the bugs are all level 9.

[last hemlock]

||🐛||

[onyx plinth]

Just shoot the bugs with .470 smh

[last hemlock]

What map geese massacre on

[tranquil tundra]

Hirschfelden

only map with geese atm

[last hemlock]

And they ignore hunting pressure hope this works@on@xbox

[tranquil tundra]

as much as I'd love them to be on Cuatro, Canada geese don't range that far south irl

ooh I wish you patience

spawns are still borked on console

[last hemlock]

Rip console

[tranquil tundra]

I had consistent good luck at the Ritterstein strawfields

[last hemlock]

I’ll try there

[last hemlock]

Which gun should I use

[tranquil tundra]

.22 if you have Weapon Pack 1

shotgun with birdshot if not

[last hemlock]

Oof wish I had someone to hunt with

[tranquil tundra]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[last hemlock]

@tranquil tundra Got your bug report :p

[maiden tree]

Is couso model the best shotgun for bird hunting? for pheasants mostly

[hidden basin]

Depends on your priorities. For raw knockdown power, it’s hard to beat the 10ga. 20ga has the best ability for rapid follow ups, 16ga lies somewhere in the middle. 12ga pump meanwhile has the best capacity, 12ga O/U has fast follow-ups combined with pretty good power, 20ga double is kinda lacking in everything

[maiden tree]

what has the best range cause apparently i can't gauge the range between me and the birds :X

atm i'm using the double 20ga and I'm not loving it 😛

[hidden basin]

Double 20ga is kinda garbo

[maiden tree]

ye

[hidden basin]

Semi 20ga is better cuz you have better capacity

10ga hits like a freight train

20ga hits like a car, but you can throw multiple of them very quickly

[maiden tree]

hmmm

20ga sounds better for a beginner probs

so i'm gonna give it a shot

[hidden basin]

10ga imo actually

[maiden tree]

oh

[hidden basin]

One shot will knock a pheasant right out of the sky at most ranges you can see it

[maiden tree]

ok sounds fun

This game is slowly becoming a favorite

[last hemlock]

I like the couso for pheasants

[blazing zinc]

I use the 22 pistol. If i can't knock it down within 75 meters, i don't want to find its body.
Great way to grind pistol xp too

[brazen sail]

can i shoot everything with the .300 i can shoot with the 7mm

[hidden basin]

No

[blazing zinc]

I started a new games just for bow hunting and the those perk points into max reload speed, minimal recoil/increased firing rate. Very worth.

[hidden basin]

300 is class 7-9, 7mm is 4-9

[blazing zinc]

Shooting fallow with the 7mm is kinda fun.

[maiden tree]

I also have a question about a really specific weapon. I'm gathering money to buy King 470DB, I got my usual setup for all classes and I just wanna toy with bisons cause I play a lot of yukon. Is the weapon price vs fun factor actually worth it?

[blazing zinc]

^also curious

[hidden basin]

If you’re sitting on a GIANT stack of cash and you wanna put the absolute DUMBEST smile on your face, then go ahead

it’s also an amazing wabbit gun

[maiden tree]

ok you sold it to me

[hidden basin]

In all seriousness, 470 is a shite weapon, but it is stupidly fun to use for some reason

[brazen sail]

but why cant i shoot tiny stuff with a powerful rifle?

[maiden tree]

when i play multiplayer we just go around shooting bisons for hours

[blazing zinc]

Isn't the accuracy garbage?

[maiden tree]

so increasing the fun of that just makes it even better 😛

i was expecting it to be shit ngl, but if it's fun i'm sold

[hidden basin]

It’ll go from head to stomach on a charging cape

[maiden tree]

rofl

[blazing zinc]

Wow.

[hidden basin]

The crossbow with 600gr arrows is absolutely DISGUSTING tho

In through the mouth, out through the butt

[maiden tree]

xD

[blazing zinc]

Hyoui with 600 is broken. LOL

[maiden tree]

I have a friend who uses the 600g arrows and just hits them on their ribs and collects corpses all around

[hidden basin]

It’s broken in the best way possible

[maiden tree]

meanwhile I'm siting around with my .300 just spreading the love from afar

[brazen sail]

which weapon pack has the m1

[hidden basin]

Smoking barrels

[brazen sail]

nice

[thick marsh]

The recoil perk works with all weapons?

[blazing zinc]

I think that's what it said.

[uncut solstice]

is the 300. good range?

[hidden basin]

Wut

[uncut solstice]

does it have good range

[hidden basin]

Yes

[uncut solstice]

cool

[blazing zinc]

Also, it's shiny.

[thick marsh]

Nice

[maiden tree]

literally this. I always love to look at the weapon.

I'm using the frontier version just for the bronze shine

[heady canyon]

what weapon pack should i get ...

im level 10 with 921 rifle score and using the .243 with polymer tips atm

[brazen sail]

get the yukon dlc for the .300

[rare current]

@heady canyon depends on what you are hunting as well tho

[heady canyon]

im just playing the game lol

[brazen sail]

map?

[heady canyon]

i don't own any of the dlcs

[brazen sail]

prefered animals?

[heady canyon]

friends host silver ridge peaks atm

[rare current]

So I have got the Yukon for the .300 and the smoking barrels dlc which gets you the m1

Tho I use the rangemaster for lions and bears

[brazen sail]

i play srp too, and i am fine with the 7mm because i mainly hunt pronghorn and bears.

[heady canyon]

i was thinking of slowly playing through the game to skip the .300 and go straight for rangemaster

[onyx plinth]

I skipped the rangemaster and go for .300 instead xD

[brazen sail]

.300>rangemaster i thunk

[rare current]

The 300 and the rangemaster are both good weapons, but 300 over the rangemaster

[onyx plinth]

I think they fill the same role, it's just one is balanced because it takes a mag

[brazen sail]

but if you dont want to get a dlc the 7mm is great in silver. i can oneshot everything with clean double lungth shots

from pronghorn to bison

[onyx plinth]

also if you have Parque Fernando, there is a mission that gives you free .338

[brazen sail]

is there anything useful you get from silver ridge peaks in the story

[onyx plinth]

Nah man that one is quite disappointing

Ez money and xp tho cause u jusy travel around

[brazen sail]

i did a little bit and i was only fighting with my ATV because it doesnt like driving up mountains 😂

[brazen sail]

tripod + lake makes more 😂

[onyx plinth]

Yea for me it gets old pretty quick haha

[maiden tree]

Ok the 10ga is a beast, i just shot a moose with 2 rounds of bird shots and it bled out pretty quickly.

[minor plaza]

should i buy the 338

im using 7mm

atm

[brazen sail]

is the tent dlc worth getting?

[vague cape]

imo, yes

[brazen sail]

aight, quick question what means imo ?

[brazen sail]

do you have the yugon valley dlc?

[vague cape]

in my opinion

[brazen sail]

thank you

[tranquil zenith]

Hello everyone, where can I get elk locker?
Thank you and have a nice day

[shell raptor]

can animals spawn as far as I see with binoculars? or is checking too far pointless really?

[onyx plinth]

render distance limit is 410m iirc

[shell raptor]

damn, so little 😮

[last hemlock]

if it was further idk what my computer would do

god damn

english leaving me tn

[shell raptor]

configurable would be nice 😛

[last hemlock]

harder than it seems, i think lol

[shell raptor]

IT IS PRETTY EASY i BELIEVE, JUST WOULD GIVE ADVANTAGE TO SOME PLAYERS, WHAT THEY WOULDN'T LIKE MUCH i GUESS

sorry caps... damn run key 😄

[last hemlock]

hahaha

besides no point

you cant hit that kind of shot reliably

[shell raptor]

sure, but you can spot an animal and go track it; would add nice immersion imo

[last hemlock]

sure, but why not just find the animal

shouldnt rely on spotting and luck

[shell raptor]

I mean, If I'm on top of hill with clear sight of a small lake, going down to see if something is there sounds strange if I have clear line of sight

[minor plaza]

No

[brazen sail]

the 338 is for 7-9, with the 7mm u can shoot everything. u must decide

prob. better to get the 338 and another rifle for tinier stuff

[minor plaza]

Ill use both

[onyx plinth]

anyone seems to be in constant state of running even though they dont hold shift

[shell raptor]

try hitting caps lock

toggles run

[white delta]

Hello guys, what shotgun and ammo would you recommend most for birb hunt?

[azure skiff]

do archery perks such as Pumping Iron work with crossbow?

[maiden tree]

10GA Birdshot is what i'm using after a recommendation from here and I'm loving it.

[last hemlock]

10g because yeehaw lever action

[brazen sail]

where do i have to hit with a bow to get an instant kill?

i used one with 90 penetration arrows and hit im broadside but he didnt get a vital hit

it should have been lungth

[onyx plinth]

try the heart

[brazen sail]

do you have a photo of its anatomy

when u killed one where the shot is selected

[toxic bane]

What are you trying to kill

[onyx plinth]

i dont even know what animal you are killing 😂

usually i just google [animal name] anatomy vital organ

[brazen sail]

mountain lion

[toxic bane]

And what arrows where you using?

[onyx plinth]

usually i aim for the front shoulder

[brazen sail]

traditional broadhead

90 penetration

[toxic bane]

Which grain

90 pen sounds like 700gr

[brazen sail]

540

gr

[toxic bane]

Ah, okay, you're in the clear

[brazen sail]

its 75 sorry

[toxic bane]

75?

pen?

But anyway

[brazen sail]

75 pen

yes

[toxic bane]

If you're close enough to reliably hit with a traditional bow, I honestly think double lung should put it down immediately

[brazen sail]

aight thank you, rn they are all miles away but for the future that will help

[toxic bane]

Ye

Definitely try to get as close as you can if you're using recurve/longbow

For mountain lions, I'm not sure if the jackrabbit caller works but the distressed fawn one does

Definitely suggest it for bow hunting big kitties

[onyx plinth]

honestly id just use rifle

[toxic bane]

Ree

[onyx plinth]

fite me

[last hemlock]

anatomy? Is there any animal that doesn't have vital organs low behind the front leg?

[brazen sail]

are white mountain lions rare?

[toxic bane]

White is not a fur variant

You mean grey or albino?

[brazen sail]

prob. albino

[toxic bane]

Then ye

[brazen sail]

what should i do with it?

store loot?

[toxic bane]

Kill it~

[brazen sail]

i did

[toxic bane]

And tax it if you can afford it, if u wanna

Take a pic of harvest and post it here too

[brazen sail]

i am in the harvest menu

but i dont know how to switch

so i can see the color of it

[toxic bane]

PC ye?

[brazen sail]

its just the shot anatomy

yep

[onyx plinth]

save the harvest

[toxic bane]

Right click the xray

It should switch to normal

[brazen sail]

oh i know clicked tax

but that way i should be able to see it anywhere too

where can i see it

[toxic bane]

After taxing, in a trophy lodge

[brazen sail]

no trophy lodge moment 😂

[toxic bane]

Hecc~

Don't own either of the DLCs?

[brazen sail]

i own some

[toxic bane]

But the lodge DLCs?

[brazen sail]

but no trophy lodge cus i thought i dont need it

[toxic bane]

Heccu

[brazen sail]

i will get one once i have more cool animals

[toxic bane]

I c

Yeh

Your tax's will wait for ya til you get a lodge

And I mean

Today is 8th

Is summer sale still running?

You might have only today to get a prettg good discount on either lodge

[shell raptor]

yes sale still on

[toxic bane]

Would suggest Saseka

[brazen sail]

killed another one i think

[shell raptor]

1,39 / 1,47 eur for lodge DLC

[brazen sail]

that looks albino

[onyx plinth]

whats the harvest screen says\

[brazen sail]

grey

fuck

[shell raptor]

rip 😛

[brazen sail]

this looks albino to me

[shell raptor]

still looks cool though

[brazen sail]

save harvest

[onyx plinth]

yea id still save

[brazen sail]

saved

[shell raptor]

you can even save the tier1 crap animals if you like them.. you play for yourself not for some fancy high score ranking 😄

[toxic bane]

Exactly

Tax whatever you think looks cool

Or a hunt with a good story behind it

[brazen sail]

i didnt even know i can save them. but now i will save somemore

[shell raptor]

yeah.. only tax I have atm is mythical mountain lion, no diamond, no fancy fur..
just because it was my first fancier animal

[toxic bane]

Remember you can only save up to 10 animals

[brazen sail]

i had a mythical mountain lion yesterday, but i didnt know i could save him

[brazen sail]

hecc

why

[toxic bane]

It's supposed to be a waiting room for taxidermy

Tax'ing doesn't have a limit

[brazen sail]

cus it costs cash

but 10 should be enough

[toxic bane]

Mhm

[brazen sail]

till i get the lodge

[toxic bane]

Again, you got a sale going til today

[onyx plinth]

get saseka one if you decided to buy the dlc

the other one is not as big

[toxic bane]

A pretty steep one too

Like 67%?

[shell raptor]

ElChupacabra — Today at 4:32 PM
1,39 / 1,47 eur for lodge DLC

[brazen sail]

today i already got smoking and yukon dlc

[brazen sail]

yea isnt much i know

[shell raptor]

I'm just saying if you wait, it will go up

[brazen sail]

but i have the fear that i might get bored so i wont buy that much as of now

[brazen sail]

i know

its cheap rn

[shell raptor]

sure, your call anyhow

for the same reason I haven't bought Mexico yet.. idk tho.. probs I will 😄

[brazen sail]

i wont buy reserves just for the map, i can just join multiplayer

i bought yukon because of the .300

[shell raptor]

ah damn, no discount on rancho atm

nvm.. refreshed and shows discount 😛

[shadow bolt]

guys, is there any parameter or something to bind cursor to game window? coz anytime you're in shop or anything else where cursor pops you can move it to 2nd monitor, which shouldn't happen(fullscreen ofc)

[shell raptor]

haven't found it.. pretty annoying indeed..
I've opened some microphone settings mid game etc 😄

[toxic bane]

There's a third party program that let's you lock the cursor to a monitor

[shadow bolt]

yeah, and whats even more weird, I use ShareX for screenshots, it works with everything but not with this game, it's not reacting to shortcuts at all

[onyx plinth]

you might be interested in Parque Fernando 👀

[toxic bane]

Wuh

Parque only has skins for the 44 and the 338

And getting the latter is time consuming af

[onyx plinth]

eh is not that bad

the skins are free weapon

you just need to be able to shoot 400m away 👀

[brazen sail]

bows dont work wtf, the goat is in 20m range, i select 20m zero ing, it shoots over

[toxic bane]

Which bow?

[brazen sail]

now i aim lower and it undershoots

hell

alexander-longbow

[toxic bane]

Oh

[brazen sail]

is it horrible?

cus it feels super horrible

[onyx plinth]

that longbow is tricky to aim

[toxic bane]

I mean, those are a bit of a pain to learn to aim

[onyx plinth]

you are supposed to use the middle of the tip to aim

[brazen sail]

bruh

[onyx plinth]

the one that's not visible

[brazen sail]

thats dumb af

[onyx plinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brazen sail]

i thought the tip

[toxic bane]

Yeah that'll overshoot for sure

[wheat plover]

what is the best gun for red deer

[drowsy obsidian]

7mm

[wheat plover]

k

[slate sequoia]

how much bigger is a diamonds rack?

[brittle summit]

slightly bigger brow tines

[tranquil tundra]

that one, for example

[slate sequoia]

holy fuck

[tranquil tundra]

yeah that's what I thought when I saw him

[slate sequoia]

thas a nice high diamond

[tranquil tundra]

ye

honestly I'm just happy I first saw him when he was almost at his morning feed zone

[last skiff]

got one just like that when i first started playing but i messed it up with a gut shot :(

so it remains in my trophy lodge as a gold

[brittle summit]

oh god

score?

[last skiff]

301.5 or something i think

i can check

[brittle summit]

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[ocean token]

Oof. I messed up a guaranteed roosevelt elk when i started

[tranquil tundra]

I screwed up on a guranteed I-wolf once

[ocean token]

Try me

[brittle summit]

F

[tranquil tundra]

didn't harvest him though since I knew closing the game out would make him respawn, but...he never appeared again 😭

[last skiff]

sad :c

[ocean token]

The stupid slugs didn’t switch

I am still mad

[last skiff]

ah 300.1

before i found it i thought this was an impressive rack xD

[hidden basin]

I had one go aggro and I panicked and shot non vital

[tranquil tundra]

ouch

the non-vital I hit the most is the stomach

it's between the liver and lungs, so why it's a non-vital idk

[brittle summit]

if i hit a vital with birdshot on a buffalo

will it die

[tranquil tundra]

Eventually.

[onyx plinth]

i saw a psychopath in MP that try to kill buffalo with .22LR

he was successful

[shell raptor]

if I catch a herd travelling, it is fine to pick more than 3 off, as they are not at a need zone, correct?

[naive rivet]

Do you know if they will patch the bug where you sound just goes blank?

[ocean token]

I one fun fact it take 3 shots from a 22 to kill a bighorn sheep

[shell raptor]

no, they still don't know how to fix it and are investigating

my source being their tech support

[lucid flower]

Do some Bobcats have white fur ?

[hidden basin]

Common is sorta white

[onyx plinth]

looks like they manage to come up with solution tho

[hidden basin]

There’s also an albino fur type

[shell raptor]

oh damn, sweet; my info is 3 days old

[onyx plinth]

just waiting for the patch release right now

[shell raptor]

also @lucid flower check this spreadsheet for rare furs

[last skiff]

what's better for coyotes, red foxes etc., the 223 or the 243?

[onyx plinth]

243

[shell raptor]

I've been told 243 by bunch of people

[last skiff]

thanks

i guess with polymer tip?

[onyx plinth]

yea

[shell raptor]

I'm noob as well, but I use polymer for everything; as I understand it gives you essentially bit more range and penetration

and forces you to learn to aim 😛

[last skiff]

what about for tier 9 animals? i've been using the 300 but is the 7mm better?

[onyx plinth]

polymer is just more forgiving in long range

[onyx plinth]

nah .300 is way better

[last skiff]

thanks

[slate sequoia]

where can i find a loadout for yukon?

[last skiff]

finally for tiers 4-8 i've been using the eckers 30-06 but is there a better choice?

[shell raptor]

@slate sequoia what do you want to hunt?

I just started my hunt there as well and just have a weapon for every class

[slate sequoia]

oh ok ill just do that

[shell raptor]

pistol for ducks (haven't gotten to decent sight part yet, so painful :D), .223 for foxes, M1 for middle ones and .300 for bigger game

can carry everything and life is good

[slate sequoia]

ok thanks

[shell raptor]

no probs, absolutely amazing map; my new favourite

lush greens + snow combo is just ❤️ as well

[slate sequoia]

i jsut played on my own map yesterday and first thing i got was an albino wolf and a diamond from same pack

[shell raptor]

damn... I've played for a week now and mythical mountain lion is best I've seen 😄

(over all maps)

[slate sequoia]

haha i mustve got really really lucky by what everyones saying

[shell raptor]

yeah, really nice 😛

[slate sequoia]

yeah i also got lucky that they were agressive not fleeing

[shell raptor]

I think they are agressive till you run towards them or smth like that
