that was super smart imho

#

Improvised blind is another must have

ashen surge
#

Which one is that?

sterile pilot
#

where do you get improv blind?

twilit patrol
#

stalker tier 3

tranquil tundra
#

It's not that necessary if you aren't frequently tracking things

worldly stirrup
#

further decreases visibility inside large bushes and shrubs. I can stand next to a pine or birch tree and have minimum level of visibilty to animals but a clear line of sight

ashen surge
#

Oh, gotcha. I haven't found that one to be essential, but it's nice!

worldly stirrup
#

Really valuable if you use bow much

tranquil tundra
#

Doesn't help with all animals either

#

ibex and goats? They WILL still see you

ashen surge
sterile pilot
#

i cant see improv blind

worldly stirrup
#

yeah animals with good eyesight it has lesser effect.

#

It is right next to soft feet actually

twilit patrol
#

while we are on skills
im lvl 58 and i have 1 skill point im assuming ill get 1 more at lvl 60
question is do i put them to tag, whos deer or innate triangulation?

#

im am leaning to whos deer as some animals dont have caller

ashen surge
#

I prefer innate triangulation of those, but I haven't played with whos deer yet

sterile pilot
#

nvm found it lol

#

i already have it

worldly stirrup
#

I haven't put points into triangulation this time since if you use binoculars you can zero in on the source of an animal anyway

sterile pilot
#

i thought it was something that lets you build a blind from scratch lol

worldly stirrup
#

I never used Who's Deer until this play but I'm having fun experimenting with it

ashen surge
#

Yeah, I didn't realize it wasn't random which other animals are called in... I may need to do a respec to play with it

twilit patrol
#

what about tag?
or is it pointless as id only be able to shoot 1-2 animals anyway?

worldly stirrup
#

Tag is always useful but I'm skipping it this time as I had it my first play through and while it's handy it's not as useful as others I think and just enhances something which I've been able to do without enhancing

#

Who's Deer adds something which doesn't exist without it

tranquil tundra
#

First level of tag is useful.

#

I've heard the opposite for the second level.

twilit patrol
#

if i only i had more points lol

ashen surge
#

Haha, that sounds right

twilit patrol
#

i think ill split my points then and get 1 of tag and whos deer

#

lvl 2 whos deer is a chance of a chance doubt ill be seeing it used much

worldly stirrup
#

The ā€œrandomā€ in the description of who’s deer is misleading I think. From what I’ve read, certain callers work on certain species they wouldn’t otherwise - like the deer grunt on jackrabbits. I think it may be random whether it works every time. I’m a newb with it

#

I’m going to add my last skill point for level 2 of who’s deer in hopes that it may provide better confirmation that a caller is working on another species

twilit patrol
#

@tranquil tundra mind if link something from nexus?
not a mod but a sheet with data extracted from game about callers

tranquil tundra
#

Still would break Rule J.

#

anything "extracted" from the game is a datamine and thus covered by it

twilit patrol
#

ah i see ok

#

Wooo congratulations

#

Good bull

sterile pilot
#

damn. I was doing a mission to photgraph some reindeer. saw a bear run through them. shot the bear. took photo then closed down the game
before going and harvesting the bear 😦

olive meteor
sterile pilot
#

yer there was a pressure spot before i shut down

olive meteor
#

If it is there when you open the game again the bear is most likely gone for good

sterile pilot
#

oh well

rancid inlet
#

you have a weapon class which is like bison are 9 moose are 8 bears are 7 but then you have danger classes which on most herbivores only goes to 1-5 and then on carnivores goes from 1-9 danger class is what you get ur rating from

#

thats my understanding at least

olive meteor
#

Class is what weapons can be used on it. Class is shown in the corner of the spotting popup. It’ll be a number next to a symbol. Level is the size of the animal relative to its score. All deer except for whitetail,musk,roe, and red deer max at lvl 5, white tail,musk, and roe max at lvl 3. All predators I can think of max at lvl 9. Most herbivores with a few exceptions max at lvl 5, red deer and buffalo are the herbivore that max at lvl 9. All birds except for geese max at lvl 3. Geese max at lvl 5. All rabbits/hares max at lvl 3. All sheep/goat/ibex max at lvl 5. I think that covers everything

rancid inlet
#

cashnip i read that

#

hehehhehehhehehe

#

😈

hidden basin
#

Classes determine what ammo types you can use and are roughly correlated with the size of the species in question.

Levels are roughly correlated to the size of the animal within its species. each species has a different max level, and they are as follows:

Species that max at 9 - LEGENDARY:
-Predators (bears, felines, and canines)
-Both types of Buffalo
-Red Deer

Species that max at 3 - VERY EASY:
-Rabbits & Hares
-Ducks
-Turkey
-Pheasants
-Roe Deer
-Musk Deer
-Whitetail Deer (excluding great ones)

Anything not listed above maxes at 5 - MEDIUM

FL Sporter Vs Martennson

who wins

hidden basin
# rugged cloak FL Sporter Vs Martennson who wins

.303 (FL Sporter) has a good bit more punch, but 6.5mm (martensson) has a flatter bullet trajectory and is lighter (it's actually the third lightest rifle in the game)

you decide what's more important to you

rugged cloak
#

I see, as long as I use zeroing trajectory shouldnt be a problem tho

#

thanks for the advice

sterile pilot
hidden basin
#

the trophy rating

sterile pilot
#

yeah

#

what determienes that

hidden basin
#

on animals with antlers and horns, the trophy rating is determined by said antlers/horns. usually it's the size, spread, mass, and complexity of the antlers/horns

sterile pilot
#

so difficulty/size has nothing to do with it?

hidden basin
#

higher weight is correlated with higher trophy ratings

#

correlated because it is possible for an animal to score lower than one a couple kilos lighter than it

sterile pilot
#

so how do i know, when spotting a creature, roughly what trophy rating it will be?

hidden basin
#

and then there's oddballs like this (this is a rare glitch that only occurs on blacktail deer)

sterile pilot
#

as it doesnt show weight

hidden basin
sterile pilot
#

oh it shows weight?
I have that and hadnt noticed šŸ™‚

hidden basin
#

here you can see all that info

#

(this is a very small lynx in case you couldn't tell)

sterile pilot
#

ahhh gotcha now. thanks so much. now I just need to learn the weight ranges for animals šŸ™‚

#

all the different ratings were confusing me

hidden basin
#

as for trophy ratings, they can vary WIDELY from species to species. for instance, no predator goes above double digits, many deer species will go into the 200's, and some deer species can exceed 400 trophy rating. as you might expect, this also means that the trophy ratings that animals make diamond at also varies widely between species

hidden basin
sterile pilot
#

Ok I have no idea what that spreadsheet means 😦

hidden basin
#

So first off, there’s a total of 11 pages on the spreadsheet, the front page shows permitted ammo types for each class, as well as what class each animal is

#

The other ten pages (one for each reserve) show max weights, trophy rating thresholds, fur type rarities, and need zone times. What we shall focus on is the trophy rating thresholds

#

@sterile pilot

sterile pilot
#

ahhh

#

i couldnt get past the 1st page

#

(still cant)

#

ok figured it šŸ™‚

#

thanks again

Hi sorry to disturb you normally when I click on the animal steps there is the indicator that says where it works with a color but now it does not work anymore however I have to restart the party and also the game nothing want to be as before

OH FUCK THX man ♄ xD

#

Really late reply but reason why I asked how to because I recently lost a diamond turkey

last hemlock
#

if i kill all the bucks in a whitetail herd will they respawn or will it be doe only?

worldly stirrup
#

Animals usually respawn the same sex. Leave a few does so the herd persists. Bucks will respawn but maybe not into the same herd. Nobody knows this for sure, but it is thought that there may be a small chance an animal can change gender when respawning.

#

But basically, shooting the bucks is how you ā€œgrindā€ since when they respawn they will either be a level higher or lower, and you rinse, repeat, to get higher and higher level animals

twilit patrol
#

any idea when they respawn?

rancid inlet
#

idk i "THINK" ive had respawns as fast as a few min but then also ive had it feel like hours

worldly stirrup
#

I have heard it can be up to a few days but I have no idea first hand

rancid inlet
#

sometimes you wont see any where you normally hunt and theyll move to an area you dont frequent

#

happened to me with bears

worldly stirrup
#

Here’s a question though. Does time pass on a map only if you are there, or can you hunt days on ither maps and have days pass on all?

rancid inlet
#

pretty sure its map respective

hidden basin
#

Pretty sure it is

rancid inlet
#

i mean if times that big of an issue just leave ur cotw open while ur eating or something so you can get free time passed

#

@hidden basin what is ur pfp

hidden basin
#

Why u ask?

worldly stirrup
#

I thought so too but since time of day remains the same if you switch from the map screen I have started to wonder

rancid inlet
#

cuz ur pfp and description confuse me

hidden basin
#

Good.

rancid inlet
#

fair

worldly stirrup
#

I can start on Layton, go to Hirsch and sleep, then go back-and it is morning in Layton, which suggests that time has passed there too

#

But that would not be inconsistent with the engine running a simple map-specific time counter anyway

Whats The Best Shotgun?

tranquil tundra
#

Pick your favorite.

worldly stirrup
#

Depends on what you are using it for. For Geese, there isn't much difference as you are using birdshot for any of them

fathom nimbus
#

True.

#

Hmm.

worldly stirrup
#

Personally I use the 1891 .10 gauge (DLC) for its 3 rounds. The Grelck Drilling rifle .16 gauge is nice because you can use the rifle scope when shooting it as a shotgun too

# fathom nimbus Whats The Best Shotgun?

The cacciatore or however you spell it. It holds 6 shots. Most people use the .22 but thats lame. Not really goose hunting like that. Id like to see anybody shoot a goose out of the air IRL with a .22. Not very realistic

Can zones be hidden? I have a couple White Tail zones that don't show up on the map, but they're there.

hidden basin
modern river
#

Ok...there's just nothing there zone wise.

#

On the map that is

last hemlock
#

Animals can be in "zoneless" areas

#

probably usually when they're traveling to the next zone

modern river
#

This has been my favorite white tail stop for awhile. So it's probably stacking with the black tail on either side?

marsh atlas
#

and also, the icons have like a radius of how far away something drinks from it so like it can be anywhere along that bank tbh

thick marsh
#

Those stacking zones are so annoying

hidden basin
#

technically this would actually be sorta realistic as three of the four revolvers appear to be SA/DA from their appearance

sterile pilot
#

where are the best spots for turkeys in silver ridge?

fierce wave
#

From personal experiences I don't think there is a best spot it seems like there's Bunches of them all over the damn map

worldly stirrup
#

Turkeys are pretty much all over SRP where there are woods and fields

sterile pilot
#

woods and fields

#

thanks

#

i couldnt see to find any at all

fierce wave
#

You can find a single one eating or a pair most of the time any where that there's open land and in the valley on the left hand side of the map you can just find flocks off and on all the way up there as well as up in the Northern parts

worldly stirrup
#

I had a huge flock of a dozen in the Swiss region last night. Just made a mental note myself as they were walking among a bunch of Elk and I went for the Elk

fierce wave
#

Wow

worldly stirrup
#

Ikr I have never seen a concentration of more than 2 or 3 anywhere else

#

I had to stop using even a bow as the HP got worrisome

fierce wave
#

I thank 6-7 might be the most for me

sterile pilot
#

sometimes I feel like im missing something obvious in this game

worldly stirrup
#

I was testing turkey decoys on Rancho yesterday because I’ve seen more on that map than SRP before that

fierce wave
#

On ta they are only in like 3 small places and that's it there really nice place to hunt

fierce wave
sterile pilot
#

so far im just wandering about aimlessly in circles. thats after I am following turkey tracks

#

they go for like 2 sets then disappear

worldly stirrup
#

Turkeys fly!

#

Callers are useful. They are very responsive to them. But sometimes will drive you nuts

sterile pilot
#

yer i been spamming the caller

fierce wave
#

Best thing imo use the mouth call once or twice then switch to the crow call get them fussing then switch back to the mouth call and use it about every 30 seconds

#

That's if you know there their then if you're running around use the crow call about every 10-15 seconds

worldly stirrup
#

Yeah I’ve noticed that often, one of the two callers will set a turkey to calling back repeatedly (and not moving). Using the other caller will frequently cause it to shut up and start moving to you. Not always, and doesn’t seem to follow a rule on gender etc.

fierce wave
#

Yeah that's the sole purpose of the crow call to make them start calling

tranquil tundra
#

Yeah the crow caller gets them to hold still

#

I use it to sneak toward them

fierce wave
#

I actually do not know if it actually attracts or not

sterile pilot
#

ahhh so i need both callers

worldly stirrup
#

That makes sense as it is usually the cluck caller which gets them to clam up and move

fierce wave
#

I didn't know it actually made them completely stop moving though that's good to know

worldly stirrup
#

Yeah before three days ago I wasn’t sure either but in that time i’ve focused turkeys on SRP and Rancho and had at least a half dozen I could see while calling and they are pretty stationary when spamming you

#

Also the decoys get the gobblers to puff up and flourish their feathers like I have never seen them do otherwise except in a taxidermy pose

sterile pilot
#

so far my shotgun rating(score) is negligible. I need to find an easy way(target) to rank it up

worldly stirrup
#

Turkeys are good for that

sterile pilot
#

just need to find some now

worldly stirrup
#

I would go to parts of the map where you can see them more easily. The plains around the default starting area are one. Sun Sisters, Two Fawns, and the Swiss region I have seen them at render range

#

And you can camp need zones

toxic bane
#

Do you have access to birdshot tho

#

Cuz shooting turkeys with buckshot will get a penalty on the shotgun score that you get

worldly stirrup
#

Geese would be the fastest way to level shotgun but tedious

fierce wave
#

That's the most efficient way yes as long as you have birdshot

worldly stirrup
#

One of the reasons I’ve been doing turkeys is my shotgun score has lagged behind both handguns and bows and I haven’t unlocked everything. It’s maybe 2500ish but the lowest

#

I think my handgun accuracy, which was below 50% at one point, is even higher than for shotguns since I got the goshawk scope

sterile pilot
#

yeah i have birdshot

#

ive found a feed zone too

#

and s;ept tilright time

fierce wave
#

Woo

worldly stirrup
#

Turkeys can be especially obnoxious about showing up at an appropriate time and place for their need zones in my experience

sterile pilot
#

i havent even heard any yet

worldly stirrup
#

And sometimes you may find a need zone for one stinking turkey. I don’t camp those at all because one turkey changing its mind about where his need zone shall be is frustrating

fierce wave
#

My tactic pretty much is run around until I hear a warning call stop in my tracks and start using the turkey calls after making sure I find a good Bush to hide it with a good shooting range

#

The only issue is this tactic weeds out diamonds and high gold's mostly

sterile pilot
worldly stirrup
#

Well the other thing I would say about turkeys on SRP is that if you ONLY hunt turkeys you will go nuts. When I went out yesterday I got one turkey, 2 bighorn and 5 elk. Focusing turkeys only demands huge patience

sterile pilot
#

yer theres plenty of other stuff to kill

#

im just trying to get better at using shotguns cos right now I totally suck

worldly stirrup
#

Everyone’s map is unique but the place I saw more turkeys than ever last night was in the north center map. There is a lake with an outpost at 1 o’clock to it. From that outpost the land climbs in a big green swath of field with a few fir trees sparsely placed to the west. I was taking shots at Elk at render limit. Bighorn, goats, and turkeys out the wazzoo

Does anyone successfully use buckshot for anything? I can never get enough pen to get a vital with it, even close-range and appropriate class.

#

Np just be careful to not hit the skull on really good animals

worldly stirrup
#

Most of my skull shots were perfectly lined up heart shots on ungulates when eating

fierce wave
#

Lol

#

Mine are lung shots that the animal turns unexpectedly mainly always with wolves

#

Buckshot is also good against roe deer

#

when you want a head shot and the game says no

worldly stirrup
#

Ha!

fierce wave
#

sorry it was 1 lung and liver

ashen surge
#

I will have to test it out... with a rifle in my pack as backup šŸ˜„

fierce wave
#

wrecks bobcats to

#

My favorite use for buckshot is running around and shooting animals that are fleeing towards me or close range away from me with it

#

That would be a pain for rifle shots

worldly stirrup
#

I wish I still had the screenshot from a couple years ago of this. I was on SRP stalking a turkey and heard an animal rustling bushes so I had to drop prone where I could see a fat lot of nothing in any direction. It stopped, so I resumed calling, sure it was the turkey, and slowly it crept closer. When it finally was on top of me it was a friggin BEAR. I unloaded three .10 gauge birdshot rounds into it and it ran off. I doubt that killed it but I had a great SS when I caught it of a bear full of birdshot

Load out recommendations for vurhonga?

worldly stirrup

I usually take the .243 and the .338 for starters. .44 mag maybe

hidden basin
#

this same loadout will work on every map, tho on rancho you may wanna swap the .300/338 with a shotgun

worldly stirrup
#

With Vurhonga it's hard to carry the ideal weapon to cover all classes at once. A bow makes a good addition since you can cover every class with it in a pinch. If I have just about exactly a pound of space I'll take the .22 pistol for 1s

7mm is an overpowered on 4-5, okay for 6 and pushing it on 7-9 unless you like following buffalo tracks

hidden basin
#

tis actually not overpowered on 4-5

twilit patrol
worldly stirrup
#

nothing wrong with overpowered if it's in class, but Cash is right I overstated that.

hidden basin
#

reason i didnt include the 7mm is cuz the m1 and .300 cover the same roles and do them better (7mm is more of a jack of all trades weapon)

worldly stirrup
#

I usually go for heartshots but I don't want to NEED a heartshot if I can help it

twilit patrol
#

do correct me if im wrong but the 7mm has issues with class 9 only?

hidden basin
#

7mm has gone from being the master weapon to a pretty meh weapon to a jack of all trades weapon

hidden basin
twilit patrol
#

welp

worldly stirrup
#

I would rather shoot a moose or elk with a .50 cal than the 7mm. But the 7mm probably does better on those than the .303 or .30-06s, but marginally if at all

hidden basin
#

like i said, its a jack of all trades weapon

#

the downside to being the jack of all trades is that it's the master of none

worldly stirrup
#

I'd say it's handy if you want to cover 4-9 with one weapon, for space, but if you instead use a .303 or .30-06 AND the canning or rangemaster, you spend less time pursuing wounded animals on the high end.

#

lol meant to say you put your finger on it but that looks more like a downvote

Yeah but if you miss the heart the .338 will do much more damage than the .7mm will

arctic moth
#

^^

#

.338 is literally the best for 789

#

Or the best for class 9

#

.470 and 454 work, but small range and kinda shitty scopes

twilit patrol
#

isnt it similar to the .300 which has more ammo in the magazine

arctic moth
#

Wat

#

.338 has one round

tranquil tundra
#

.338 has slightly better stats, but one shot.

#

so if you miss/botch the shot, you're likely out of luck.

twilit patrol
#

tbh i concider the .338 locked away for me

arctic moth
#

7mm is the .338s younger and more loved brother

6.5 is not good tbh

Should be 3-7

If I want to relieve hunting pressure on an area of the map, will I relieve more pressure by making shots in the open with rifles versus, say, shooting with arrows from a blind, which applies minimal pressure? Just wondering if lifting hunting pressure is equal to the new HP applied or if it's more shot-for-shot, such that a bow can remove more HP than it causes?

twilit patrol
#

i thought pressure goes by the kills

#

as in the game tracks only your last 16 kills (regardless of weapon) for pressure

worldly stirrup
#

That would answer the question if that is how it works

twilit patrol
#

should be easy to test if you are on hirsch and can hunt geese

final heath
#

Yep, it goes based on kills. If you shoot the rifle and don’t hit anything, hunting pressure won’t raise. Same goes for if you hit an animal and it doesn’t die. Guns cause more hunting pressure than bows, but hunting from a blind will lower the pressure caused by all weapons I believe

Ayo so how does the bloodhound work. I last played before they existed

distant juniper
#

basically the bloodhound (refered to as dog) tracks blood from animals, and has its own little skill tree. You can upgrade that to help it track, be a better companion, or scare off predators

toxic turret

#

depends on who you ask

#

some will say no, some say yes, some say it's a nice companion

but it can help you out more

if you use it and upgrade it

worldly stirrup
#

I like having the dog, but after getting her max level I put her away and only take her out if I don't feel like finding a track I lost

last hemlock
#

I’d use the dog a lot more if the heel radius is increased, you move like 50 feet and it wants to get back up to follow you and spooks animals

modern river
#

So the dog does actually spook animals?

#

Are you playing in multiplayer or single player?

and are you using lures and decoys*

single player

You could try moving to a different field and set up decoys and a hunting blind then restart the game completely and just wait it out. I usualy hunt geese in the morning hours

is it possible to complete missions in multiplayer?

No, missions are sadly single player only

Are you hunting them in silver ridge peaks?

if so the crow caller helps you locate them as they give vocal responses then use the mouth caller to call them in. I have not hunted rio grande turkeys yet but I'd imagine they are the same

I had trouble with the bow hunting fox mission in Hirschenfeld because the vegetation concealment is bugged and I was unable to get below half visibility so all the foxes ran away 🤣 is there a better way to hunt with a bow (especially with the longbow) if anyone has any tips, would be appreciated.

last hemlock
#

I have 5 geese spots on Hirschfelden! That worked well since the last update! Since yesterday there have been no geese, not even when I close the application and restart it!

that's odd since there was no update that could have caused the issue. I use one spot primarly and it has lots of goose traffic let me get a ss of it

@last hemlock I always get flocks flying over this field and it works well for me

thank you for your help! I'll make 2 out of 5 spots, then switch to another map and then do a restart!

does that mean that the inactive colored ones are a different pack of animals or does it mean something else?

.243, for example, can be used on anything from foxes to red deer, but not moose or bison.

Is there a specific map i should start on? Like are some easier than others or?

tranquil tundra
#

Hirsch or Layton would be the best bets for that

twilit patrol
#

id personally say not hirsch

tranquil tundra
#

A lot of people say Layton's easier, but personally I find all the hills/mountains and swamps impossible to find things in

#

with Hirsch, you just have to keep an eye on the cornfields and strawfields in the mornings

twilit patrol
#

problem is if not in said fields there too many shrubs

tranquil tundra
#

I honestly didn't find all the shrubs a problem myself. Just call things out.

cerulean surge
#

Alright, im currently on Te Awaroa National Park should i switch or just continue?

tranquil tundra
#

oh TA's a good one

twilit patrol
#

while northwest doesnt have shrubs it also sadly doesnt have that many animals either

tranquil tundra
#

.243 can take most things on that map

#

and by most I mean the only thing it'd fail a harvest check on are the turkeys.

cerulean surge
#

I managed to take down a feral goat on my way to the lookout tower

tranquil tundra
#

I'd wait on really going for red deer until you get the .270, or better yet, the free .303 you'll get later in the story

twilit patrol
#

the good about hirsch are the goose if you have the dlc literal money printer

cerulean surge
#

Alright, ty for the help, ill go continue with my story n take down whatever i come across

#

Oh 1 last thing, i have the bloodhound dog should i be bringing him with me and using him with tracking and stuff or is it not needed?

worldly stirrup
#

I think Layton is easier than Hirsch but both are good to start with and follow the initial quest line helps and gives instructions. The tutorial items in the Codex are hugely helpful too

tranquil tundra
worldly stirrup
#

The bloodhound is useful if he/she sometimes gets in the way, and just having it out helps it level up. When you whistle commands to it animals don't hear that. Basically the bloodhound does one thing very well, and that is follow the blood trail to an animal you shot

tranquil tundra
#

The bloodhound can spook animals. Those with keen senses, such as goats, especially.

cerulean surge
#

Ah

tranquil tundra
#

idk if you have Cuatro but ibex are also super-alert animals

worldly stirrup
#

Yeah, if I am using a hunting stand or ambushing, I will either kennel Penelope first, or at least tell her to lay down. The range within which animals sense the bloodhound is still pretty short, but as Lyra said, for some animals short is enough

cerulean surge
#

I was playingg on the Rancho del arroyo earlier and i did use the hound to track a boar or something that i hit

tranquil tundra
#

Rancho's story will get you a free (if currently slightly bugged) shotgun

cerulean surge
#

So ive just had him come with me everywhere incase i dont get the kill first shot but i didnt know if it could alert the animals or anything

worldly stirrup
#

I wouldn't be too worried about that. Animals are more likely to be alerted by your sound, sight, or smell before the bloodhound factors in, 90% of the time.

cerulean surge
#

I just found something i can build for 2100 should i do it? Its by a lake

worldly stirrup
#

Sound especially is your worst enemy. Just walking at normal pace, without going through brush, your sound projects easily about 150m

twilit patrol
#

probably no better save the cash for weapons first

worldly stirrup
#

You will find lots of those, and while they can come in handy sometimes, I would hold your money early

cerulean surge
#

Alright

twilit patrol
#

you want to at least have weapon covering all animals classes first

worldly stirrup
#

I have all the maps and there are 2 or 3 on every map which I've built and used. They chiefly reduce your visibility to about 50m to animals, but when you move around inside them, that sound still travels, as does your scent. You can also end up waiting a while in a stand for animals to show up, or respond to your callers, so it can be boring

#

They are most useful when you find animal need zones within shooting distance of them, and then you can go there during that time and snipe them from it with low detection by the animals

cerulean surge
#

I havent been using my callers since ive got 2 turkey ones and a deer one equiped rn

#

This tower i found has a need zone right next to it

#

Within 50m of eachother

worldly stirrup
#

nice! Need zones are different every time you start a map, and they move around, so it's not predetermined that at any given time, a pre-built hunting stand like that will be in an ideal spot

cerulean surge
#

Should i build this one then since its so close to a need zone or no?

twilit patrol
#

the zone are at the same spot the place the animal rest/eats/drink in its zone will be different

worldly stirrup
#

If you have enough money and intend to use it presently or in the near future to hunt from, sure

#

You only have to pay that once and it will be built on your map permanently

cerulean surge
#

Its for Chamois i believe since all tracks and things nearby are chamois

worldly stirrup
#

But there are a lot of them and it can get pricey

cerulean surge
#

I think ill build this one since the need zone is so close and i could get a free kill or 2 from itt hopefully

twilit patrol
#

hirschfelden had roughly 100 of those buildable structures imagine pay 2k on average for each

worldly stirrup
#

When you look at the map and zoom in close enough the need zone will show, and what time it is used, so that you know when to be in it. I usually try to be at a need zone ambush spot a half hour before the allotted time, though the animals may not show up immediately.

#

Have you learned about "hunting pressure" yet?

cerulean surge
#

Also the need zone is chamois 05:00 - 08:30

worldly stirrup
#

kk. When you kill anything you will note a pinkish circle on the map around the spot where the fatal shot was delivered. That's hunting pressure. If you overlap more than one kill, it becomes pinker/redder. When hunting pressure gets high enough, it will wipe out any need zones within that area, and the animals will basically establish a new need zone elsewhere. So the idea is to avoid letting HP get high enough to erase the need zone. You can lower hunting pressure in a spot by applying it on other parts of the map

cerulean surge
#

Ah so i dont want to be in 1 area for too long basically?

worldly stirrup
#

Also, the amount of hunting pressure a given kill applies will vary. If you are out in the open using a rifle, it will apply the maximum amount per kill. If you are in a stand or blind, it's half that per kill, roughly. And using a bow lowers it further still.

#

Unless you are deliberately intending to remove that need zone (which you don't usually have a reason to do), then yes, you want to limit the number of kills at a time in a given area to avoid erasing the need zones there

cerulean surge
#

Alright, tysm for letting me know abt that

#

I probably wouldnt have figured it out otherwise

worldly stirrup
#

I spent about 3 hours yesterday moving around Silver Ridge Peaks to remove hunting pressure from a spot where I have a turkey need zone I am fond of using

cerulean surge
#

Damn

worldly stirrup
#

One other point about need zones is that as you level up your skills, there is one (I don't remember which) that allows you to see how many animals USE that need zone. Sometimes, especially for predators, it's only one animal, so if you kill that animal the need zone will vanish. but since it was only a 1 animal need zone it wasn't that useful anyways

cerulean surge
#

Ah

#

Im only level 2 rn so it will probably be a while before i get tahtt skill

twilit patrol
#

there may be 2 animals 1 per pack at the same need zone though

worldly stirrup
#

it's when you find feeding, resting, drinking zones for herds of animals that you are more motivated to protect them, hoping that as hunted animals respawn, they will go into the herd that uses those need zones for you.

#

Yup. By moving need zones around by deliberately applying hunting pressure to certain ones, you can try and "stack" need zones in the same places, but that's pretty advanced stuff

#

Oh, and there is a super helpful spreadsheet made by A-a-ron which is in a pinned message in the Trophy gallery channel, which shows tons of info for every map, including the times each species uses need zones on those maps

twilit patrol
#

tracks disappear at night
you can use your flashlight or the night gear from teh dlc to have them reappear

cerulean surge
#

Damn i spooked some pigs because i was just running to my quest 😭

worldly stirrup
#

Making noise is sometimes a useful way to find out where animals are, as they will give warning calls or you will see them, but it also puts them into a "fleeing" state for some distance/time, before they resume their routines

cerulean surge
#

Damn they were at a feed zone

#

10:00-13:30

#

I just missed it

worldly stirrup
#

well, now you know where they will be tomorrow at that time, and you can prepare to ambush them

cerulean surge
#

True

worldly stirrup
#

There's a caller for pigs but you have to level up some before it's unlocked

cerulean surge
#

The main callers i have atm is turkey ones idk if i have any in my storage though

#

Its just all ones that i got for free though

worldly stirrup
#

On Te Awaroa the only callers you can use as a starting player would be those turkey callers. The others are all unlocked as you level up.

cerulean surge
#

Damn ive got a bad shot, there was a pack of feral goats right infront of me and i whiffed twice

worldly stirrup
#

Well you learn from practice. There is also a shooting range on the Hirschfelden map which is super helpful to practice on, and I use it all the time at level 59.

#

The .243 Ranger you start with is a good weapon though, which you will use a lot of the time forever.

#

Just don't go hunting Moose with it

#

Good for goats, chamois, feral pigs, Sika deer on that map. Might struggle to bring down the Red Deer but it can do it

#

Mostly you want to try to get a double lung shot if you have a good angle. That will take just about anything down quickly

#

I think the very first thing you unlock will be the polymer tipped rounds for the .243 and I would switch to those as soon as you unlock them. It will make a huge difference in your hunting success

cerulean surge
#

How do i take a photo of something? Gotta do it for a quest

The concept of zeroing is pretty straightforward. Basically, every projectile, from bullets to arrows to shotgun shot experiences drop due to gravity. What zeroing does is compensate for that drop by adjusting the trajectory of the bullet. The result is that the bullet follows an arcing trajectory. Zeroing allows you to set the range that you want the bullet to hit on the crosshair

So when I shoot it becomes more precise long distance?

twilit patrol
#

its best you go to hirschfelden shooting range to test it out

empty tiger
#

Forgot about that shooting range!

twilit patrol
#

just play around with target range and zero

Glad i came here to ask

Play around with it at the shooting range and get a feel for it

Will do šŸ‘šŸ»

#

does what I kill with a shotgun affect how fast my score goes up?
As in if I load up with slugs and go for bigger game will my shotgun
score go up faster than if I was shooting rabbits?

brittle summit
#

shotgun score depends on how ethically and fast you kill the animal.
try and mass kill animals with a shotgun

#

(hint: geese)

sterile pilot
#

ahhh ok. so animal size doesnt matter.
shooting rabbits with with birdshot
seems pretty fast way to kill

sterile pilot
#

well i got the geese down. but now I have the shotgun wont fire glitch. how do i make it fire?

If you're using the Couso get in the habit of doing that before your first shot

Can anybody tell me where the best spot for Coyotes in Cheelah is ? And whats the best time

worldly stirrup
#

You can find them pretty much everywhere save the higher elevations above treeline

#

I have found the most reliable areas are the skirt of trees around the lookout, a good 300yds around

#

And in the woods in NE of zone between the road and water

#

From cheelah lake north should be good for at least one

drowsy obsidian
#

I'll try that,thanks

For coyotes and foxes, if you can’t find any, run a little and one will bark at you.

You don’t have to get two bears in one shot for that, it can be two separate pics

they were both females,and "Family picture" so i guess they were lesbibearian ?

Yeah it’s still no walk in the park. Sneaking within range of a bear ain’t easy

get a ATV and drive up to the sucker

Trying to find ducks in the Yukon...

Some geezer on reddit is claiming the following: There is an outpost on an island in the SE of the map - Bankside Timberlands..

I cannot for the life of me see where there is an island let alone one that would have an outpost.

Is he chatting drivel?

so with harlequin ducks. do I just: find a need zone, place decoys, climb in a waterfowl blind and wait?

Mr. Black is hard to photograph, but he will appear in exactly the same spot every morning

I have him on my map because I'm not doing the quest (I did it before once)

Plopped down a tent near the area,returned tot he main menu,went back and he was standing IN my tent

took a pic

and let him out

nicely done

#

When changing maps, do I bring tents and hunting stands with me automatically or do I have to go pick them up?

tranquil tundra
#

You have to pick them up

worldly stirrup
#

They stay where you put them until you pick them up, but if you haven't placed them they are in your inventory for all maps

#

And you can buy more of them

Do the rabbits come back to the borrows on Hirschfelden

#

are cuatro or hirsch good maps? never tried either

tranquil tundra
#

Hirsch has geese, which are the #1 moneymaker if you have the DLC that gives you the decoys for them

#

and Cuatro is a fun map. The main story gives you three unique wolves, and there's an achievement for getting a diamond of each of the four ibex types

worldly stirrup

Cuatro is one of the best I think. I say that even though some wolves there ate me not an hour ago

Where do you submit suggestions? I’ll leave it here in case this is the right chat. Being from the US I really enjoy the maps here especially silver ridge peaks and now rancho (I know that’s Mexico but similar landscape to south Texas and my personal favorite place to hunt in real life) but I’ve been thinking for a while there should be an ammo option for the muzzleloader that goes to class 9. Before the age of centerfire rifles there were countless Buffalo hunted with black powder weapons and they were very effective so I think adding the ammo option would make the game just that much more realistic

@pastel nexus be sure to format the suggestion correctly

# wary hare Been hunting geese like theres no tomorrow

I’d say take a change of atmosphere start calling animals on others maps for other animals for while if you are getting bored with that, change of species or animals will help with that just try and make sure you call before you shoot

some time yes

oh they always do

thats how they are

Even in the top left lake the one with the outposts? But yes they are very much female group spawns but spawns I’ve seen are like 3 or 4 male groupings or all female or all female and one

does anyone know how to increase your chances of getting a diamond

What's the most overall easy to use and accurate small to mid-game hunting rifle? Any suggestions for a medium to large game hunting rifle of the same criteria? Been using the Ranger for small-mid game and Drilling rifle for large game, but I feel like I should be using other things now

#

Cuatro, duck, high tech, parque, saseka, silver ridge, smoking barrels, treestand, spring creek, weps pack 2 & 3, yukon, bloodhound, atv, goose, and tents

Smoking barrels, you say?

Not necessarily tier 1, got a bow for that

Keep the .243 handy

big groups are often female or small males the bigger golds and diamonds role in a small group often 3 or 4

Is the Ranger perk currently working? I haven't noticed a range gauge while using a weapon since picking it up and I'm worried it's bugged somehow

Did anyone do all of the Cuatro Colinas missions? I'm wondering if there is a mission where you have to get a diamond of every species on the map. I thought there was and was told it was in the Chef's arc, but I just finished that and it isn't there

I believe that is incorrect

Could be. I only know that you need a diamond of every Ibex species, don't know which arc that is from though

When you kill an animal will it always respawn?
If so is it always the same animal?
I know it can come back as a diff trophy rating but, can it come back as a different gender?

Im asking as I can only find female grizzlys, I need two gold males for a multi trophy.

General consensus is that they respawn as the same gender yes

For the first beatty mission,can you be in any type of hunting structure instead of a Hunting stand,maybe a tripod or tree stand ?

Has to be a hunting stand.

The ground blinds aren't as strict, but the hunting stands are

theres a certain one that works really well mind

will it still count if im glitched and under the stand ?

yeah if you dont have the moose caller youre going to struggle

But no, if you're trapped under the stand it won't count

You need to be using it properly

This is the hunting stand you want to be in. use caller in here and they will come

i've got the 30-06 and 50. caplock

switched the 270 for the 3006

Best bet is the caplock with the minie ball

.50 with minie should do some work, but the .30-06 is gonna struggle with moose quite a bit

I use the 7mm regent. I think it comes 'free' on one of the missions.
Cant remember which map though.

theres a free one for console
