Aight done

twilit patrol
#

you have classic and not cotw?

cosmic bone

I have both

twilit patrol
#

ah nvm then though for second you are asking about classec(of which i have no idea about)

cosmic bone
#

Lol

#

What rifle can take down water buff

twilit patrol
#

the .300 and the .338 should be good for them
the 7mm can technically down them but need expert sharpshooting skills

cosmic bone
#

Ok

#

What are all of the animals in the reserve for the water buf

fair crane
#

Puma blackbuck axis deer mule deer cinnamon teal red deer

cosmic bone
#

I'm happy I bought it

#

What res do you play on

fair crane
#

Its a good map for sure

#

As long as it works I am happy

#

I dont know much about that stuff, I play ps4 and have a somewhat old tv, but it still looks very nice

# marble epoch best spots on parque fernando for big mule deer

Lakes at the top around Bosque Muerto. Bottom end of the lake with a spiky shape in the north/north west. Diamond shaped lake in NE of map. Either lake in Lago Bebe. Possibly the bank of the big river to the east but I've only had mixed success there. Hope you get a diamond faster than I have(n't).

Can you do the missions in multiplayer?

#

Is atv hunting a thing btw?

wild lily
#

Specifically disallowed, I read somewhere once. But if you happen to come across something which didn't run from the noise when you were still 500m away, you can hop off pretty quickly and have a go.

#

Crashing into animals hurts you, not them, in my limited experience.

#

PS - don't crash into the sharp end of a water buffalo. They don't like it, and I liked it a lot less

simple badger
#

Yeah a deer accidentally run on me while on atv

#

I just instantly died haha

#

i lost all my progress, what do i do?

tranquil tundra
#

Unless you keep a manual backup somewhere, unfortunately there's nothing you can do.

#

#šŸ“œļø“support so the devs have another case of this happening. It's a rare issue that's being difficult for them to pin down the cause of.

my dog didnt loose any progress atleast lmao

#

What’s max score for cape now

tranquil tundra
#

162.5

#

Nothing on Vurhonga has the tru- system yet.

#

though I have a suspicion we might be seeing at least one soon

minor terrace
#

I have a 162

#

Is it basically max

tranquil tundra
#

It's very close to max.

minor terrace
#

Can I send a pic

#

Or no

tranquil tundra
#

So long as it's the full harvest screen I don't see the harm in it

minor terrace
#

It’s a lodge pic

tranquil tundra
#

Ah

#

ye stick it in the lodge chat

minor terrace
#

It’s posted

#

What about axis deer max score I’m curious

tranquil tundra
#

as axis deer have the Truracs system, they don't really have one.

fierce wave
tranquil tundra
#

They've got a glass ceiling score, sure, but the actual max is something no one has found yet.

minor terrace
#

Ok and one more thing I would like to report a trophy loge bug

#

Lodge

fierce wave
minor terrace
#

When I go in to multiplayer and create a multiplayer lodge it crashes every single time

fierce wave
#

Ayy

#

Yeah....

minor terrace
#

Why does it do that

tranquil tundra
#

Yeah that's a known one

fierce wave
#

ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ

tranquil tundra
#

been around for a while and apparently one of the trickier ones

fierce wave
#

It's done that for a long time at least for me

#

Except just recently it started where I actually could not start a multiplayer Lodge to save my life

minor terrace
#

It only did it for me after rancho came out

zenith tinsel
#

Which fur types of moose should i tax?

minor terrace
#

My lodge use to let me in and sometimes let people in then it started working and now it won’t let me in

fierce wave
#

Hmmmm now I'm curious to know if it has something to do with how many animals you have in your Lodge of the chances of it happening

minor terrace
#

My lodge is almost full

fierce wave
zenith tinsel
#

Ok but which fur types is rare for moose?

tranquil tundra
#

Piebald, albino, and melanistic.

#

Mocha is mission-exclusive on Te Awaroa.

minor terrace
#

Yeah my lodge is almost full

fierce wave
minor terrace
#

I’m how do I pic what lodge to go in

#

Um

#

On Xbox

fierce wave
#

do you have a screen like this?

minor terrace
#

Yeah not in multiplayer

fierce wave
#

Oh wait yeah

#

I have to say I truly do not know

minor terrace
#

Lura do you know

#

Lyra

fierce wave
#

Give me a second I'm going to put a tent down and go back and try to make a multiplayer spring Creek and see if it gives me the option to choose

minor terrace
#

Ok

fierce wave
#

Well shit I've reached my limit for rancho

#

Phuck

minor terrace
#

That sucks

fierce wave
#

yes very

minor terrace
#

Wait you try going in to a full lodge in multiplayer

#

See if it crashes

fierce wave
#

Well it didn't let me select and it crashed

#

Twice

worldly stirrup
#

You can also make more than one lodge. I have Spring Creek 1 and a Spring Creek 2 so far

fierce wave
#

Do you have any clue if you're able to choose or how you're able to choose which one loads for multiplayer server?

#

I have two spring Creeks as well

#

And it doesn't give you the option at the beginning

worldly stirrup
#

No clue on my end anyway

#

I’m just glad if I don’t crash visiting them myself

simple badger
#

What are some good gun combinations i could have?

fierce wave
#

Oh so am I it only crashes for me most of the time whenever I try to switch from Lodge to Lodge instead of going back to the map then Lodge

fierce wave
simple badger
#

Classes?

fierce wave
#

The class of the animals like white tail is 4 water buffalo is 9 mule deer is 6

#

You have to use a gun with the ammo to cover that class if you lower or higher it won't pass harvest check and you will get one less on the medallion where gold would be silver diamond would be gold and so forth

simple badger
#

Oh i see

#

What guns you use?

#

I use a shotgun for birds

fierce wave
#

My primary setup for most maps is 22 rifle 243 7 mm and 300

twilit patrol
#

why you steal my setup lol

fierce wave
#

That can range from different maps

simple badger
#

Oh 4 weapons

fierce wave
#

I technically don't have to carry the 300 because of the 7 mm can do the same job I just carry it around if I have the spare space

simple badger
#

Is there a keybind to switch ammo type easily of a weapon?

fierce wave
#

Sadly no

#

You have to go into the menu and switch the manual

simple badger
#

Oof

fierce wave
#

That would make life with shotgun so much easier

simple badger
#

And with my rifle too

twilit patrol
#

technically the drilling rifle can
but its only switching rifle and shotgun mode

simple badger
#

Talk about unrealistic

fierce wave
#

see like this is my rancho setup

simple badger
#

The 243 is the starting rifle?

fierce wave
#

yes

#

It is the best class 2 and 3 rifle in the game the Mosin is the best class 3

simple badger
#

Wait , you got enough space for a tent and 4 guns?

fierce wave
#

Yup

twilit patrol
#

there a perk called pack mule

#

gives 3 extra weight

simple badger
#

Oh i see

fierce wave
#

I have the pack mule perk and the small fanny pack thing

simple badger
#

You can have a different loadout for each reserve?

twilit patrol
#

nope 1 loadout

simple badger
#

Ah so i need to manually switch okay

twilit patrol
#

yep

simple badger
#

Well , i use the 22 too for rabbits turkeys etc

fierce wave
#

Yup

#

Me to if they are long range

#

I use the shotgun for close range

#

Sup 70m

#

Sub*

simple badger
#

I got like a shogun i guess for fun thats usually on birdshot for small stuff

#

Yeah same

#

But im kinda lacking on the longer range and bigger animals

#

I got that m1 or something

#

With .30 i think

#

I shoot everything from deers to pigs but the bigger things never get 1 shot

#

Might have to buy that 7mm you mentioned

#

And i could put like the big zoom scope

twilit patrol
#

if you mean the argus its not that good when shooting under 200m

hidden basin
#

🧢

twilit patrol
#

you start a bit more zoomed in
also the scope is fatter so it blocks more of your screen
so its difficult to find you target on short distances

#

as for the 7mm unless you manage to get heart or double lungs on class 8 and 9 prepare to run searching for the animal

fierce wave
#

Do male antelope jackrabbit make diamond or female or both?

tranquil tundra
#

males do iirc

fierce wave
#

Okie dokie

worldly stirrup
#

Sheesh. I change my loadout for each reserve and sometimes in the same reserve depending on what I am hunting. Every weapon (almost) has its use

#

The only constant is I almost always have a bow (since it covers all classes) and a 4-8 rifle

#

I would have a yard sale to ditch the Strad and the 7mm if I could. Maybe the Martensson but hopefully it will be improved

#

(And a shit ton of ammunition)

zenith tinsel
#

Is there any other scopes for Hudzik. 50 caplock sol?

tranquil tundra
#

Nope, just the one

Oh wow, no wonder. I did not know that about the drilling.
First time using it again after a looooong time! Good to know, thanks CashnipLeaf! Great question Martim šŸ˜›

lime mountain
#

Are Mountain lions usually difficult for new players to hunt or do I just suck at it?

#

I feel like of all the animals, they're the ones I struggle to find/track/spot

tranquil tundra
#

They have good senses, so it's tricky to sneak up on one

lime mountain
#

That's probably it, I'm good at shooting, not so great at sneaking.

They also just seem to do whatever they want compared to other animals that I can predict.

Just watched a Mountain lion that was upwind of me about 400m away or something just darting around for fun, then sped off up a mountain.

#

Speaking of sneaking,

Does anyone have any good tips for a beginner bow hunter? so far I figure I shouldn't try too hard to use the bow without Soft Feet skill and the Arrow Recovery bow perk but I could use all the help I can get.

tranquil tundra
#

Good map to practice on is Te Awaroa

#

particularly the western half of the map.

#

You're hidden just walking through those forests.

#

and Soft Feet is definitely a good skill to have.

Can anyone let me know what ammo/arrows/bolts are viable for European Bison? I've been using .243 and .30x06 because it had the Bison symbol on it, but when I harvest it says I used the wrong ammo. I tried checking the wiki but it didn't specify the exact ammo to use

OK chaps - looking for some help with tent placement. At some point, I'm going to finish my PF mule deer grind (I have to think that, even though it's been months!) and I'm going to have a whole load of tents and stands that I can distribute amongst the other maps. I'd like to get set up for Medved Taiga to finish off the achievements for "harvest 50 of XYZ" (I'll complete musk deer today probably, but I still need lynx and bear) in and for general hunting once I've finished the map. So if you only had 5 tents to use, where would you put them on the map below? (I've added grid ref to make it easy.)

hidden basin
#

five

#

tents

#

let me show you where i placed my tents.

wild lily
# hidden basin *let me show you where i placed my tents.*

Thanks - could you comment as to which of those locations might be most productive for lynx? I'm tracking my kills for the "50" achievement and I'm furthest behind on lynx. Obviously the top map has markers but I'd appreciate hearing your experience given your particular interest...

GUYS I NEED HELP!

#

so yesterday i was chasing after a legendary red deer but do they despawn if you leave?

#

it was on a singleplayer game btw but i have played multiplayer with it sometimes but at the moment i was after it i was in singleplayer

#

dunno if that helps

wild lily
#

should still be there

#

if I understand it right, they don't despawn until you kill them, and then they get replaced by somethign else

#

until then, they have a route round the map that they follow

#

so same time / place on another day and you might see them again

toxic bane
#

Affirm

#

Also, don't host your map until you find it~

#

So that others don't swipe it from you

# dusty panther It just took me 2 hours to make 12k to buy the next scope

You got Parque Fernando? Let me put my misery to good use for you. I've spent weeks grinding for a diamond mule deer. Still not found one. Upside: I've never had so much cash or ammo. They're about 1k a pop and you can often get 2-3 at each drinking spot, with 5-6 in a drinking time. If you put your money into tents first and get set up, you'll have lots of kit in no time...

Will geese come to pink spots or do I need to move

@dusty panther

worldly stirrup

Geese ignore HP

dusty panther
#

Oh I didn’t know that lol. I’ve been moving

worldly stirrup
#

I did the same at first. I had two spots and alternated before it dawned on me

#

But being mindful about HP is a good habit to have

dusty panther
#

I kill 2 geese every time a group comes through. One with the 20g and one with the .223

I get 5-7 most times with the Couso and Virant but that’s with a lot of practice too

Which animal is class 9?

stoic maple

Hey, I'm a noob just got the game. How do I fast travel?

You have to "claim" the outpost first

simple badger
stoic maple
#

Ohhhh

#

thanks

simple badger
#

once the icon turns white it means you can fast travel

twilit patrol
simple badger
#

so they're like the hardest to kill?

stoic maple
#

Do we have a screenshot channel on this discord? šŸ˜„

twilit patrol
#

and bisons

simple badger
#

gotcha. Im curious what is that animal thats shown on class 9. Its an animal with horns or something

twilit patrol
#

define hardest?
you need a proper class weapon other than that you hunt them like the other animals

simple badger
#

oh okay. I meant hardest to kill

#

like taking many shots

twilit patrol
#

all animals can be 1 shot killed

#

unless you use are like me and use the .357 pistol with soft point ammo.....

simple badger
#

well i guess these are the best in terms of coverage of all animal types

#

.45-70 Bullet (SPFN, HP) 4-9
7 mm Mag. Bullet (PT, SP) 4-9

twilit patrol
#

coverage yeah but if you fumble your shot you will have to run after the animal for a while

#

need to be able to get double lung shots or even better heartshots concistently

simple badger
#

i guess something like this then?

#

300 Mag. Bullet (PT, SP) 7-9
.338 WM Bullet (PT, SP) 7-9

.30-30 Bullet (SPRN, HP) 2-6

.22LR Bullet (JHP) 1 or birdshot

twilit patrol
#

my personal setup is 22 rifle .243 and the 7mm

simple badger
#

7mm is 4 - 9 but only 1 bullet i think

twilit patrol
#

if you want to understand how bad the 7mm can be if you miss your shot grab it and hunt some moose

#

yep 7mm is single shot

simple badger
#

yeah i prefer something with multiple shots cause i do be hitting my shots on multiple animals

#

im just going for racking exp and cash currently to lvl up

#

but il check the 7mm too

#

i think its expensive as well

twilit patrol
#

yeah the startup is rough
but once you get most of what you need you gonna have a surpluss of cash

simple badger
#

you use the 8-16x at all?

tranquil tundra
#

I use it for the 300+ meter shots sometimes, but only if the animal's broadside toward where I am. Otherwise I try to get closer.

twilit patrol
#

i carry both the argus and the hyperion

simple badger
#

oh okay cool

#

binos? i got that rangefinder one but i think the zoom is not much

twilit patrol
#

there isnt really that big of selection on binos

simple badger
#

yeah i think theres only 1 after this rangefinder one

twilit patrol
#

there the starter one and then high level which also tells range

#

same zoom nothing more

simple badger
#

oh it has range too. yeah il get that one probably

#

guess i need to get the weapon spotting perk too

It's easy to dismiss it because it's the weapon you start with, but the .243 is quite good at 2-4 And I still use it at level 60 having unlocked everything

lime mountain
#

So I have done absolutely no shotgun hunting so far,

Is there a good shotgun I should use from the start (I have all DLC)

worldly stirrup
#

partly depends on what you are doing, but with DLCs one of the best shotguns are the three skins of the 10 gauge. 3 rounds a piece, so for goosing, if you equip all three, you have 9 rounds without reloading (once you unlock birdshot if locked)

lime mountain
#

Would that be the Miller model 1891

worldly stirrup
#

bingo

#

For other purposes, it's the most powerful shotgun in game, and the only one with slugs usable on class 9 animals

#

Once unlocked, for goosing I prefer the Couso .16 gauge, which you get in the main story line on Rancho, or can buy a skin of when unlocked in shotgun level

lime mountain
#

Ah cool, thanks,

#

So this 10 Guage can't hunt Class 2/3

worldly stirrup
#

Yes that's the only class levels it can't cover. With shotguns, shooting any animal with buckshot is always an iffy proposition unfortunately. You can do it, but when you spray a deer or something with buckshot, it doesn't penetrate much and you might not get a vital hit. The slugs are better for non-bird hunting with any shotgun, but rifles, pistols, and bows are a better go-to generally

#

I've still done it plenty here and there though, and it will help you raise your shotgun score

#

Once you've unlocked birdshot then you can set up a goose stand if you have the DLCs and imho shotguns are the best way to rake in the money with geese. Many use the .22 also, and I use both a shotgun or two and the .22lr for geese

Hi, I was wondering what is the best reserve (including DLC), because with the steam's sales, I wanna buy a dlc.

simple badger
#

What weapon should you shoot plain bisons with? I shot with 7mm but im getting no exp and cash

worldly stirrup
#

7mm is proper for HC for bison, so that shouldn't happen, but the .300 and .338 are superior for it. Or bows.

simple badger
#

Okay

Any ammo which lists Class 9s. Some are just more effective than others

There is a minimum for each species. For most species the female minimum is 0 or that is the only score. For males it’s usually really low. For example male bisons’ minimum score is 12, but that’s the only male minimum I know

Hey I’m decently new to the game I’m just wondering how the rating system works for this game and I’ve watched videos and I still don’t fully understand how it works if anyone has a great way of wording it or understanding I’d love to hear it

worldly stirrup

I would start by searching for prior discussions of "trophy rating," as this is a subject often discussed. Since it's complicated, mostly because it has evolved over the life of the game, and not by plan, it might be best to start there :)

# last hemlock Best time and spots for water buffalo?

Blue lines for general area that they are found in purple dots are good spots to check yellow dots are hot spots for me YMMV the white dot if you sent and that look up power about 30 minutes before drink time they will come across that field to go to that lake that is where I get my first time in I've gotten 3-4 mythicals in a couple of others yellow dots on the coast are good for feed zones rest zones and drink zones the top y'all dots You will find probably when you first start a absolutely shit ton in large herds up there so be prepared the photo below is a list of their needs them times just make sure you be careful because they are very dangerous animals the different fur types that they come in or orange common black and albino after you kill a good bit but very bottom like that has the purple dot will probably gain a lot of water buffalo he went from having a couple for me to nearly having 15 down there so there's a good chance it will turn into a hotspot or could already be one for you so good luck and I hope this helps

*don't pay attention to the little blue dots or the red line

Ween you save your game, do you copy it onto a hard drive so you don't lose everything? Sorry, new to the PC world.... Hopefully this makes since... DD33 was talking about it in a video last week..

Yes you can copy the files found at: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Avalanche Studios
and place them in a safe location.

Or you can get more creative and do what I do and create a batch file to auto-backup. Just run the file once in a while or every time you close the game for peace of mind. šŸ™‚

This:

xcopy "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Avalanche Studios\*.*" "C:\Users\USERNAME\Google Drive\CoTW BACKUP\*.*" /E /I /J /Y

will copy the save to the location specified which in my case is a Google Drive Folder. Even if my PC were to burn to the ground, I would have a copy of my save safely stored in the cloud.

I often get that I'm using the wrong ammy type on Layton lake shooting with my M1 / 300 polymer bullets. What weapon(s) would you recommend running beside it for 100% coverage of animals? 😮
Thanks

severe horizon
#

.243 for 2-6 clases and .22 for clases 1

worldly stirrup
#

If you just want to cover coyotes, the Ranger is probably best. If you want to also hunt rabbits and ducks, then weight becomes an issue if you are also carrying the .300 and M-1 and you pretty much have to pick and choose. Bows are good for this because any bow can fire arrows to cover every class. Handguns also cover more classes at much lower weight, and the .22 pistol is good for class 1s and the .357 for coyotes

#

On Layton I usually leave out a weapon for rabbits and ducks and ignore them for that reason. If I want to hunt them specifically then I’ll take a shotgun, Virant, pistol, etc

#

Some maps are easier than others to carry a loadout that easily covers all animals. On Vurhonga it’s next to impossible. Layton is one where you are better off prioritizing a little

stoic maple
#

Awesome, thanks!

.243 seems good, haven't used that ammo type yet. Which gun would u recommend? I have all dlc šŸ™‚

One of my favorite weapons to use on Layton, and one of the most potent weapons in the game, is the Hudzik .50 cal muzzleloader. The Minie balls it fires have a combined penetration and expansion which is really unmatched by any other ammo. For anything from blacktail deer to moose, the .50 cal will drop them in their tracks with a well-placed shot

I use two cousos first but usually don't empty the second before they're far enough away that I switch to the Virant but I probably hit 1 shot out of 5

Honestly .22LR ammo is so cheap and it shoots so fast the best way is to just rapid fire in front of it and correct as needed

Does anyone else struggle to find male grizzlies?
I can only ever find females

male grizzly bears are myths

In all seriousness tho, you’re not the first one to note that

OK guys, I've been trying to earn the Peppe's Challenge achievement for the last few days now - does anyone have any tips or suggested locations? Quite often I'm finding I can call the reindeer back in enough to knock 2-3 over, but I've never yet managed enough times to get the 5 heart shots. 4 is my best so far. Also - I keep getting multiple herds. I knocked over 7 with heart shots in one session 2 days ago but it must have been 3 from one herd and 4 from another as I didn't get the achievement. Again, any ideas about how to improve my chances?

# twilit patrol my experience in hirsch with red deer begs to difer had entire herds with no mal...

But that's because Red hinds naturally form groups which are then "acquired" by the dominant male after the rut. What they've done is copy the natural behaviour. You might occasionally find a smaller, non-threatening male tagging along, and you might also find small groups of beta males (e.g. 2-3) together, but mostly the hinds live in herds with the fawns and last year's juveniles if they haven't split off yet, and the stags are solitary.

Have you tried this area? It’s where all my male grizzlies are. (Sorry about the map it’s the only one I have on hand)

@sterile pilot

My Yukon is just like bman’s. I’ve seen nearly a dozen grizzlies north of the trestle on both side of the river and the East coast north of that outpost is full of them.

Once you unlock the goshawk scope it's tons easier but yeah the .22 pistol on rabbits, geese, can help get you there

shooting wolves 5-8 times (all vitals) with a 357 is ridic lol

#

ill give the geese a try, any tips on hunting them? i havent done any bird hunting in game yet

worldly stirrup
#

yeah I just loaded a .44 because I'm headed out on Cuatro. The .357 is useful once you have the goshawk as it subs for the Ranger on 2-3s when space requires. Not a great wolfstopper though

#

irl a 357 with hollows will drop any olf where it stands if you get a decent shot lol, so i thought it would work well. my only real complaint with this game is the wack ballistics

short elbow
worldly stirrup
#

well goose hunting is a piece of cake as long as you set everything up right. You basically place 20 goose decoys in the middle of any strawfield on Hirschfelden, and geese will start landing there. The caller isn't necessary. I put a tripod right next to them and wait for the geese to land or get close and start shooting. I use shotguns and the Virant, but it's also a good way to get easy kills with the .22 pistol

#

this comes up a lot lemme look I think I have a SS saved of my setup

short elbow
#

ā¤ļø

worldly stirrup
#

I prefer the middle of a large field because lots of geese will drop a couple hundred yards away and its easier to find them

hidden basin
#

the gist of it is tripod or other blind with good upwards visibility next to a group of 20 goose decoys (arrange them however you like as long as they are relatively close together (like less than a meter or so apart), and a tent nearby for easy access

Whitetail are not on Hirschfelden

they're found on Layton and Rancho.

id def recommend getting some of the DLC's though, the other reserves are quite amazing

I got two questions. 1.what would be the best place for whitetail on Layton? 2. I thought I heard of a hidden lake on Layton on the left side that doesn’t show on the map, is that true?

OK - gonna ask again about Peppe's Challenge as no-one replied yesterday - can someone tell me whether the 5 heart shots have to be in sequence? reason I'm asking is I just tracked what I thought was the same herd for about 8k around the map - took about 2½ hours - and I got six heart shots from them. No achievement. So I'm guessing either that they weren't one herd, or that a male I shot third maybe wasn't part of the herd even if the other 5 were, and that screwed it up. Can anyone offer any thoughts? (Please!)

I must have switched up the tracks with something else

on the plus side, I'm now rich and much better with the crossbow

but I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep going at this one like I did the PF diamonds one

It's RNG. I got mine after 286, but most people kill upwards of thousands

Alrighty, question 2: what weapon and ammo are you killing the pheasants with?

As for the shotgun, what ammo does it have in it?

now comes the $64,000 question

#

(next maybe)

queen shadow
hidden basin
#

That’s why

worldly stirrup
#

yeah you need birdshot

hidden basin
#

You need to pass the harvest check to complete the mission, which requires you use birdshot to kill the pheasant

queen shadow
#

it doesnt say anything about that

hidden basin
#

Pretty sure it says ā€œpass harvest checkā€

queen shadow
#

like i know what that means lol

hidden basin
#

Right

#

Do you know how the harvest check system works?

worldly stirrup
#

you have to use birdshot and you have to shoot them while airborne (them not you_

queen shadow
worldly stirrup
#

Most missions require that you pass harvest check though there are a few which allow you not to

hidden basin
#

To pass the harvest check, you need to:
-Use proper ammo
-hit a vital organ
-don’t damage the trophy organ
-shoot animal no more than twice

(Second and third are irrelevant for all birds and ducks btw)

#

You are failing the first check by using buckshot on the pheasant

queen shadow
#

wow so like the entire population of pheasant i killed so far was all wrong lol

hidden basin
#

Any of the following ammo will pass that check:
-.22LR
-.410, 20ga, 16ga, 12ga, and 10ga birdshot
-the smallest arrow size for all bows

queen shadow
#

welp thanks for the help

Well, at least now you know exactly what you were doing wrong

While I hunt with a bow a lot, and have shot a duck in the air a couple times, that would be difficulty level 11, and even I wouldn't make a habit of it.

well i dont even have a shotgun yet for 16ga birdshot
