Iād grind tf outta red deer again if they release a fabled white fur type
True
Spicy
Scratch that
Itās 6 now
7 actually wtf
72 kills today, 7 diamond so far
Thatās a diamond every 10 kills
Iāve hit Scarecrow numbers lol
10% spawn rate
Theyāre the same thing
Less precise but easier to understand
1/10 is the EXACT same as 10%
I know, but itās easier for people to comprehend when you say 1/10 as opposed to 10% spawn rate
This is really pointless to get into, so letās not lol
Iāve got nothing more interesting to do so
Letās argue about fractions and percentages š¼
Well maybe not in this chat?
Iām joking you silly
Sarcasm is hard to convey through text thatās myb
Nah you good I get in trouble for people not understanding my sarcasm quite often
Third run, letās see how many diamonds I get out of it
Hopefully one is an albino or smn
Youāre gonna have a group of 4 stags and 3 of them are gonna be 271+ diamonds and the other is gonna be a lvl 4 albino
You say this like I wouldnāt appreciate any of those trophies
But the pain of one of the big dimes not being the albino
True true
Dude honestly idc how big the SR is I just want it to score diamond
And be an albino/piebald of course
I just hope mine is decently symmetrical, and with recent developments I have a theory
How funny would it be if an SR spawns and itās both a mela and has the same uneven rack my first one does
Ah do state your theory friend
So my theory is that EW has been working on fixing the animals that are overwhelming unsymmetrical and that score too estimate when rare
The basis for my theory is that recently we have been seeing that whitetail havenāt been scoring top estimate and they have been being symmetrical, and as of today I have seen several rare red deer that were symmetrical, I canāt confirm if they scored top estimate or not tho
Jeffrey scored like 185 and his top estimate was 219. He was asymmetrical however
I also had a theory that the species that were affected by the bug that caused uneven rares and top estimate scoring only affected the larger scoring animals of that species
So like a lvl 4 red deer would usually be symmetrical while a lvl 8 red deer would usually be asymmetrical
Well it would have something to do with how many racks and variations of those racks there are for a given level
Jeffrey?
My level 7 mela that I kept around for a bit
Ohhh
Put some respect on his name
It is just a theory of course, also if they fixed the ābugā it wouldnāt eliminate the possibility of asymmetrical rares. It would just make them more similar to commons
That sounds like a pig I had when I was grinding on Cuatro
I passed that little bastard every time I did a run and then the night before the population reset I killed him and taxed him
Also Iām thinking that whitetail were fixed a couple days ago and red deer were only fixed in the last day or so
Obviously this is a pretty shallow theory, time will tell tho
Iāve seen 2-3 different racks for level 6 stags, meaning there aināt that many possible combos for the given rack it has, whereas level 9s have upwards of 5 with different variations of those racks, giving more possibilities
Perhaps it just chooses at random what combo itāll be and you just gotta hope it lands on a symmetrical combo
Who knows how truRACS works
Iāve noticed that after the Revontuli update my rare luck has been worse
I have a theory kicking around in the back of my mind
I have absolutely no way to determine whether itās true or not but it sounds like something thatās actually true
The theory itself is that each player has their own multiplier for rare, diamond and GO spawn rates
Like, for example, @full cave how many kills are you at and how many GOs are you at?
I donāt know for certain how many kills Iām at. It could be as low as 18k and it could be as high as 29k, but I have 14 GO red deer
Letās take the average of that, 21.5k
That means you have a GO every 1535 kills
Your GO multiplier would be higher than mine, because mineās at about 1/5689
Each person has their own personal multiplier applied to a base spawn rate of, in this example, 1/5000
And with each update this could be changed, with each game reset itās changed, etc
Aināt the most intricate theory out there but itās pretty believable
I really hope that theory isnāt accurate. The thought that some people have better spawn rates is terrifying. Just sounds so unfair
I wouldnāt be surprised if that is the case
Either Iām just incredibly unlucky or it isnāt a coincidence that some people get a rare every 100-250 kills whilst for others itās 1/1000+ kills
I just find it hard to believe that spawn rates are the exact same for everyone
My theory is that certain rares have different spawn rates, but they all fall under certain categorizations. For example, red deer have 3 accepted rare fur types which are piebald, albino, and mela. Piebald would be classified as a rare while albino and mela are classified as very rare. I think that they also have a 3rd very rare fur type which is Fabled Spotted. Following this logic i think that when someone hits the spawn for a very rare the game then randomly selects between mela, albino, and Fabled Spotted to see which on spawns in. This would somewhat explain why some people see much high numbers of GOs and other see higher numbers of mela and albinos
Thatās interesting to think about
Now, how would that work for whitetail? Whose fur type is usually one of the common furs
Thatās true, my guess is that for them the GO antlers are classified as the rare? And then they also get a secondary roll for what fur type they will have?
Perhaps
Or, what if WT were originally planned to have their own fur type; fabled piebald. The spawn system working the same way as you theorize it does but whenever it lands on fabled piebald it bugs out and spawns them as a common fur type?
Kinda like the opposite of red deer if you think about it. Red deer would be the fur is the rare and then a secondary roll for the antlers, whitetail would be that the GO antlers are the rare and then a secondary roll for the fur type?
Also, if that is indeed the case, then we should be seeing a lot more BB great ones as they have 5 different fur types with 2 variations of one, meaning the odds of one spawning from a very rare roll would be higher than say fabled piebald
This could definitely be the case as well
Crazy to me that EW has such an intricate system that itās entire (non modding) player base canāt figure it out
Maybe for bears the rare spawn is tied to weight class? Or maybe they just have 10 fabled as the rare spawn and then the secondary roll is for which fabled fur type it will have?
Whatever the spawn system may be, law of averages will kick in sooner or later and Iāll get the trophies Iām after
Yup
Someone just told me they got a lvl 8 mela. They said that it is symmetrical but that it scored top estimate
Hmm
Tryna think of how a rare fur affects score estimate
I wonder what determines the score estimate of an animal
I imagine once we understand that then weāll understand why rares score the way they do
I wonder if itād be possible to get confirmation from a developer if they have been working this
Is pinging Jaxy against the rules?
Was wondering if he could drop a hint for us lol
Tomorrow morning there is an EW stream, right? Maybe we could try asking then
Iāve always thought great ones spawned like normal animals
I donāt know why, but that has confused my brain. Can you elaborate?
And yes, tomorrow is a stream
I feel as though itās the opposite. GOs donāt seem to be affected by the populationās collective size
When an animal respawns it gets a random rack, fur type and weight but Idk if thatās the case
Obviously that only works with truracs species
Yeah thatās sorta my theory, but itās in a certain order I guess? Kinda? Idk you can read above to see my theory
Hmm
Iām not sure order would really effect anything
An idea popped into my head
What if, the population of a certain animal youāve got on your map and their levels have a direct effect on spawn rate as opposed to kinda nudging it like we believe it currently does
Well in my theory it would be fur type and then rack type for red deer
Just as an example
Wdym by direct effect?
For example, the game takes the number of each amount of levels on your map, averages it out and then applies it somehow to the spawn rate
I already thought it had a direct effect, just not a huge one
What if it has nothing to do with level? What if itās based on the average weight of the animals? What about average score?
Neither do we, all just curiosities really
My theory is still thatās itās just pure luck
Like, if you have 100 level 4s, 25 level 6s, 15 level 7s and 10 level 8s, average it out and then divide by 100000, you get 1260. Thatās your GO spawn chance, 1/1260 for that set of respawns. Again, wild theory but itās fun to think about
When it boils down to it yeah, but since itās a coded game there is definitely hidden numbers involved
That doesnāt seem likely imo
Now, the issue with code is that it can be randomized but itās run by an algorithm so it has a set of rules. It canāt ever be truly random
Iām just seeking to find out if thereās a pattern in it
Idk what Iām seeking
The more I try and explain what I was trying to say the more it seems dumb
Happens to the best of us
Also yeah Iām aware itās just fun to theorize
Probably a red gatorade. Im thirsty
We can know for almost certainty that shooting big stags doesnāt help with great ones, right?
Yeah, just about
Well directly help
I think itās less about shooting big stags and more so just having lower level stags on your map
Thatās what I meant
Yeah
I remember a little bit ago there was a theory that shooting every single whitetail helped with the great one, has that been debunked?
This is why I started to develop my theory that a GO spawning is the same as a rare spawning. I started to notice that there is now way of increasing your rare spawns which is exactly like the GOs
Thatās my thoughts
Well, purge method supposedly helps by increasing the odds but not the percentage of a GO spawning
I think in order to give your self the best chance at spawning a GO all you can do is increase the speed at which you kill the males.
That is what I believe but since weāre speculating...
Letās say you shoot 1000 stags, and the spawn rate for a GO is 1/1000. That means that 1 of those thousand stags could be a great one
Now, letās say you increase that to 2000 stags. The percentage is still the same, but now 2 out of the 2000 stags you shot could to be a GO
That means that the average spawn rate should be 1/1000
Yes, thatās simple math
Which could mean that you go 500,000 kills without a GO but then get 500 in a row. Still averages out to 1/1000
Mhm
Iām still gonna stick with the āroll of the diceā theory until something else is brought forward that makes sense
I wonder if EW has statistic on the average spawn rate of GOs from the playerbase
Iām sure they do
Yeah, my theory is that thereās a set spawn rate for GOs just like rares and you kinda just gotta get lucky
Yup, same here
Itās still fun to speculate what it could be though, some theories are better in principle than others but theyāre all fun to think about
For example, I went 1400 kills with one piebald but in back to back runs I got pies. Seems to support luck
I do agree that it seems most likely that rares and GOs are just roll of the dice luck
Now, are the racks decided by luck aswell?
Yes
Do you think they all have an even chance at spawning or are some rarer than others?
Yeah, I would think so
Levels 1-9 are definitely affected by herd management but what rack specifically a particular level spawns as is pure random
Some seem rarer
Thatās what Iāve seen
Ron did have a theory that racks do affect eachother though
How?
The wiry lvl 8 rack seems to be the rarest for red deer
I think both have different rarity racks
Look up ādo racks matterā on Ronās channel. He explained it pretty well there
For red deer it seem like the mid rack is the rarest while small and big seem about equal
And for whitetail thereās one rack I didnāt even knew existed until a couple days ago
Not for me apparently
Well you only have 1 donāt you?
I have 3 mid racks
Well, 2 and a half
A half?
One is uneven with the 250s rack
I didnāt realize red deer GOs could be wonky
die
I have a wonky one. Same rack on each side they are just slightly different
i mean what
Scored exactly the same as my other 3 ššš
Lol
what is max score for red deer
270.12 more like GRRAAAAAHHH
Donāt know
12
272.6 is the biggest weāve seen so far
Youāre welcome
He said max, not minimum š¤¦āāļø
I know
I know you know
Wow that feels good
of course it does
I just wish he was an albino
you judt got. 270 rack š
Mood
Eh, it scored the exact same as my other 3 itās not that special anymore
Itās a nice motivational boost though
Yup, thatās the small little goals I always talk about
Aight ima do one more run then let my tablet charge otherwise I wonāt be able to count kills
Dude my last 270+ was over 8000 kills ago š
I shouldāve gone to bed a while ago but this was an interesting convo, now Iām only gonna get 4 hours of sleep
Goodnight everyone
Goodnight. Iāll be sure to ping you like crazy if something cool shows up
cries to sleep
@tiny kestrel any luck?
Nope I just been drawing
heh
āØArtāØ
Is it normal to have 800 hours and never see a great one?
I have 2500 odd hours and I haven't seen one
aight I no longer feel sad for not having one in my collection lmao
I mostly just do missions and vibe whenever I get bored
Me with almost double that and zero great ones
That is by choice, mind you
cashnip is waiting for lynx great one
potentially
that requires effort
I'm feeling like āØshitāØ
cool
I have a 271
Mane
He do be big
I will stop grinding white tail and start grinding red deer again bc i want a SR red and white tail are so annoying š¤£
Also i want a GO over 265
I'd love another sr red ngl
U already got 1 ?
Piebald
Bruuuh
Big rack or small rack
Amazing
I like them when they're wonky cause that's what they look like irl
Okay, i would love to have a SR too XD
I hope you get one!
Thanks if i get one i hope its big rack albino but i dont want to ask for to muchš¤£
Lmao you ain't asking for much, I'd like a big rack Mela xD
I got a lvl 8 mela
I have a 7 and 8 mela, 1 lvl 7 pie, 2 lvl 6 pie and 1 lvl 6 albino out of 1400 kills grinding
Got my first diamond of grind No 3 rn he was a 266 sadly no SR
Second one 2 kills later
Such a beautiful moment getting my first GO
I spawned a troll out of the diamond
Dont mess it up
dont worry, its already in my lodge
Ok
my first go, and my first trip to te aworoa in multi
That pic is from te awaroa
I just got 3 diamonds in 9 kills
really? i may be confused then
shoot
i always thought it was cuatro

Cuatro is in Spain
show us some good stuff ron
hopefully something nice comes on this next run fingers crossed
So I have a request to everyone in this channel. If you find a rare red deer can you take note of the trophy estimate before you kill it and then when you post the harvest screen share with us the trophy estimate? Also, would you take a screenshot of the truscore screen with one of the score categories highlighted to show if the rack is truly symmetrical or not? Thank you!
I think i can
When did you get no 14?
Will do, just checked it for my SR and it scored top estimate.
I'm only concerned about rare red deer that are spawned from today and onward
I don't actually remember, but I could go find the ss and tell you the date
Are you at 13 or 14, Hannes?
So then I should go and grind some rares, time to get the next SR.
Best of luck
I don't want to talk to you anymore and you frustrate me....just kidding, I let the grind down the last couple days. Time to get tied with you again.
12 and one an my map.
I also let the red deer grind down the last couple day, I've been waiting for you to catch up and pass me
12 and 2 on my map
He's gonna stay there for some time, cuz I don't want to train for another special shot right now.
I actually trained for the bow shot like 15 hours and it was an incredible shot but I just want to grind a little more and watch some series besides that.
I feel that
good run there 50 ish red deer down 8 mythicals lots of 6s and 7s lets see what respawns
I feel bad since I had 3 in only 1500 killsš
Thatās great
Well 13 diamonds and a big piebald later it's time to get some sleep gn8
What do u want to find out with the pics we send u ?
Today I got 1 piebald, 2 diamond potentials to spawn and 5 trolls... Absolutely fantastic day xD
Well it seems as tho whitetail have been changed recently in regards to the rares being wonky and scoring top estimate. I want to see if red deer have had similar changes.
Ok
The recent rare whitetail that have been not scoring top estimate and also being even could just be a huge coincidence, but I still want to see if red deer are seeing similar changes.
So far it doesnāt really appear that they have, but Iāve seen a few symmetrical rare red deer so Iām curious
@tame solar what are the chances you get 2 rares with the exact same mismatch rack that's really cool congrats I love them
god damn it, itās another big rack
I havenāt seen you in here in a while lmao
if i could stop getting big rack goās iād play more often and be more active :/
Eh fair
Iāll take it lmao
heās still chillin, i canāt decide what to kill him w
itāll be a .300 mag to the brain probs
kek
or a 600 grain arrow
@sick lantern
LMFAO
It could be a big mid rack
issa big
Yāall over here complaining about which rack you getting and Iām 4K kills into a WT grind with no GO in sight š„²
lmfao iāve killed 16k whitetail since my last go, those are rookie numbers
Welp, time to get a few red deer kills
Hoping I can get a GO within the next week
I believe Iāve surpassed 5770 kills since my last great one, making this the longest period of time Iāve grinded without getting a GO
Had anyone went hunting for the black bear GO since the last update?
I donāt think Iāve seen a single black bear GO since the update to SRP
Also, whatās with all these crab claw racks? Iāve seen three guaranteed trolls on the first run today
Okay, so Iāve noticed thereās a bunch of large stags coming in after like 9:30
Maybe this contributes somehow to my spawns
These guys being left completely alone after so long affecting my spawns just like the 4s do
Or I could be overthinking it and theyāve done nothing for my respawns
Holy shit I just saw a really really wide red deer
How wide?
Possibly
Wide boi
Cmon man whereās this great one
Welp, diamond n°7
3rd run today
Damn another one
Yeah, I believe Iāve hit the sweet spot with my map. Iām getting 2-4 diamonds every single run
Whatās with all the huge stags today? Iāve gotten four 267+ stags already
I mean eventually it has to happen, right?
Also, I havenāt seen a mela on my red deer grind in well over 10k kills. I went to cuatro to try and get entries for Pro XCKās comp and after a single run of ibex I got a mela⦠fml
Bruh
Also, I may or may not have whiffed the second 269 but I have so many high scoring stags it doesnāt bother me
Iāve killed I think 7 diamond ibex this evening. Maybe Iāll go do a run or two of red deer then go to bed
Thatās pretty good
A 268 š
What is with all these big stags today seriously
6 of my diamonds today have been over 267
Today is a lucky day I guess
Hopefully lucky enough to spawn a great one or something
Finally got all 3 racks
Dope
@sharp tulip When you get the chance can you do a count of the stags on your map? Iād like to get some numbers from people on the amount of stags on their map
Mine has been 135 across multiple counts
I think Hannes has 139 on his map. Bro the idea that the size of peoples animal populations varies is not a pleasing one. This shouldnāt be something that varies between users imo
I have to stop staying up this late
I counted upwards of 146 whenever Iād purge my 4s every now and then
Did you kill any as you went through your zones?
I will count them today. I think it varies because in some zones that I see very often, because it's some side zones on the Pukemaero lakes, I noticed that there's usually two 4's in that zone and the last few days there's often just a 6 there or 8's spawned and the 4's were gone. Until yesterday both 4s showed up again during one of the runs and stayed.
Congrats is that one of the two you had on your map or no 15?
That's not the only time this has happened lol look at this
I have 2 more like it
Piebald and albino
Wow
Is this channel for people who played cotw since it came out?
its for the great ones
The mighty lvl 10s
Hemnlo
Are you ok maddddddE
nOoo I am noooOt
Just made a 337 m heart shot on my 32 diamond of the grind
šæš
nice run there just respawned two legendarys one will be a diamond
One of the 2
knew it was going well this run
2 more new diamonds respawned
then.....
š
š„³
congrats!
Which lake are you at
Ah that one
hmm not sure whether to stack him
Had anyone got the black bear go yet
supposedly it might help with spawning more GOs
Try it out
think 5 level 9s spawned in 2 runs
so just gonna continue smashing 5s and 6s and 7s
come on super rare
š¤£
Dude you have no clue hard Iām hoping he spawns this week
I donāt wanna grind no more mane
hehe honestly if you only knew how today has gone for me
been a nightmare
woke up boiler broke
was recording a video that turned out bugged so no good deleted it
parcel didnt come which i need but postie put a letter through the door lol
so thought sod it lets go grind
so keep positive and great things happen
I shot the pie from yesterday finally
You founf a GO?
Congratulations!
Sir that is not family friendly language
Youāre not allowed to say the fuck word
Watch your fucking language, young man
Sorry, my fucking bad man
haha yeah i did yell out fuck yeah
š¤£
right lets GO see what else might spawn
do a few more runs
Congrats
136
The problem is that there could be some that literally never show up to there zones. Who knows how many there are truly, not saying your wrong tho š
I can probably count mine and sew what I get
You should join the cotw community club and cotw competition club on xbox. They both have great one sections that need some new additions š
Is trading allowed in either of those clubs? I donāt want to be in a club that allows cheating of any kind
yes that might be the case, but I don't gonna discover all my feed and rest zones for red deer and count them in those. So we probably just have to live with this count.
No, besides I'm an admin in one of the clubs and it's an instant ban
I wonder if the devs would tell us whether or not the population sizes are the same on every map?
Cool then I will probably join
Yeah I can invite you when I get on then, you have xbox live right?
Yeah I ain't doing that either lol. Not worth my time
You could still count them in the drink zones. Any information helps
@tame solar
Mines been screwing up off and on for a week almost
While youāre here, are you competing in Pro XCKs comp?
The ibex one?
Yeah
Ye
Whatās your score?
Thanks, Iām gonna try and get a good submission
Yayy good luck
I thanks I finally fixed it

What does this have to do with grindin?
First run of the day and Iāve already got a 266 stag
nice
3 diamonds a run average so far
Oh my god another 269+
Lately Iāve been getting bigger and bigger stags what is up with that
luck

"the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
great one grinding in a nutshell tbh
Couldnāt have said it better
not my quote š¤·āāļø
Who cares whoās quote it is
It accurately describes my mental state and thatās all that matters
I need to start playing games I actually enjoy honestly
tasty stats
I guess the only reason I come back to COTW is so that I can get everything I want and not have to come back to it
Should I try stacking diamonds?
See how many I can build up?
Guess Iāll do that then
My record is 16 diamonds on my map at once
Currently have 2
I am at 25 level 3 whitetail right now on Revontuli. I think a couple are borderline for dime though.
3 pie, 2 albino, 1 GO and all those 3s stacked in 2300 kills.
No mela yet.
What does your Revontuli setup look like?
what does your run look likeš¤Æ
Looks like a lot of skipping around zones full of 3s. Finding the odd low level 2 here and there. My exterior zones still have some that need to be shot down to 1s.
I will say this though. It is looking to shape up into the most insane whitetail grind. Once I rotate on these 3s, it will be a factory.


So, you know how a lot of level 4s mean more high level spawns?
Does stacking level 9s cause the opposite effect?
I theorized it did but I donāt have any proof it does
Thatās something I think people donāt really understand about herd management. Itās the exact reason I do it. I have been doing it for months. Proven. Stack max level animals as many as you can to shoot the rest down to low levels.
Yeah, so on Rev with 25 level 3s, and a big rack GO. Almost everything else is already level 1. Except a few Iām still working on.
ur stacking the GO?
He is
gl
Ty
Bro my g1 needa spawn
Damnit I accidentally hit a diamond with the .300
Lol was it big
Donāt know
I killed a albino with the .300 earlier
What animal
Oh well, only a 265
I have maybe 4-5 dozen stags thatve scored higher than him
Where great one
Just passed 250 diamonds
17.5k+ kills
To think I wanted to stop grinding after 5000 kills
Lol
Why don't you hurt something else to take a break?
Before you get severely burnt out if you ain't already
You have no clue how burnt out I am
Iāve been working on setting up whitetail on Layton
Ayy
Whitetail still seem to have slightly inconsistent spawns
I might just go with purging bucks for the whitetail grind
Ooh I just had an idea for what I might take the GO with
If 20ga slugs reach up to class 6 ima use the double barrel 20 gauge iron sights
A friend of mine has took every one of his great ones except maybe one with the 12 gauge over under
I know both red deer and a white tail I think he took his first one with a normal rifle because it shocked the hell out of him
Iāve already taken one GO with the 12ga slugs
Actually, my goal will be to take a GO with every shotgun
410 birdshot giggles in background
Whenever a duck GO gets released I will absolutely take one with that
Also, recently, Iāve been using the M1 for a bit of nostalgia and good luck
Feels nice using it again honestly
Holy shit a level 7 mela
And heās perfectly even oh my god
@full cave what did you want to know about the rares we find again?
Alright, so the mela scored 16 above his minimum estimate (193-239) and is perfectly even
@pale oracle I know youāre on red, but your status is giving me a stroke lol
^
xD
Just bagged a super rare š
Aw hell no you didnāt
What animal was it?
Fair enough lmao
I'm very happy he was like the best level 7 rack congratulations
Thanks bro
Heās one of very few perfectly even rares I have
Itās a huge motivation boost too
Only way it couldāve been better is if it was a level 9 lol
Imagine if you got a other one with the reverse of that rack
I wouldnāt be too upset honestly
Would look cool in the entrance to my lodge
I donāt care for what rack it is, I just want an albino SR

My theory for red is that when they are uneven they score top est, if they are even they donāt score top
That's how most of my experience with any animal has been like that
Getting a decent amount of progress down with whitetail
I have about 11 zones covered with only 3 tents
Scratch that, 13 zones with 4 tents
First level 3 of the grind :)
Oh what he trolled
bad introduction to whitetail grind
Iām finding it slightly more fun honestly
My plan is to grind both species at the same time
Breath of fresh air
Every 3 red deer runs Iāll do a whitetail run, to allow the inconsistent WT to respawn properly
Alright. Iāve bought 1000 .300 ammo and 2k .308 ammo
This should last me for a while
why dont u ever post ur trophies

Do you really want him to post 20 diamond red deer every day?
Probably more than that honestly
can anyone show me a picture of the best spots to put tents up for the red deer grind either hirschfelden or cuatro
Because I get far too many diamonds a day to screenshot them all, save it to my phone and then post them all
Any large rares I find always get posted though
The issue is, everyoneās zones will be different. We canāt tell you where to put a tent down because where zone is for us likely will not be in that same spot for you. If you want a Cuatro hotspot map tho I can whip one up really quickly
Go Lake to Lake during drinkk time get zones and place tents it took me like a hour on te
thank you
Left side of the map mainly on the river and on the left lake
I really hope they add more pie variations for red deer. Red deer have so much potential for piebalds
This guy was very lucky in his grind
#13 ready to go to the Lodge
Woah 409 meters! Didn't notice that he first time. Finally someone that I've seen have a longer shot than me
Oh yeah your at the mountain lake! Go for it it would be an awesome video
maybe stacking at the moment.
when it time to take him out
2 more diamonds respawned today
Why are people stacking GO's?
Just because they can I guess
My GO with the muzzleloader was a 414,82m, I try to take down every GO with something special
@full cave
Iām jealous of that
I donāt think my theory is correct
Great one red deer number 7!!!
nice
It is uneven and it scored on the top of it's estimate
Isn't that your theory?
Sheesh nicw
Kinda, my initial theory was that they āfixedā red deer. I thought that since rare whitetail were starting to pop up as symmetrical and not scoring top est that red deer would as well. We have seen a few symmetrical rares from red deer recently which is way more than normal, but I donāt think theyāve been fixed
thanks
It does seem like there is a pattern to them however. If they are asymmetrical then they will score top, if they are symmetrical they will score normally
yeah, but it seems that they are most of the time at least a little asymmetrical when they have a rare fur.
Yeah, Iām hoping that gets fixed
Bruh
Iām still tryna get a second gold or better albino
I think I have 4 gold albinos
Ima go get on COTW now
and 3 gold melas
and many gold peibals
nice congrats
Jonny I want one, it's been nearly 7k since my last
Ouch. Hopefully you'll get him soon
After school Iāve got a bunch of stuff to do but hopefully tonight I can get a few runs done for both WT and red deer
Been 11k since my last wt 
My plan is to take a GO with every shotgun in the game. Iāve already done the cacciatore, next up will be the 20ga double barrel
Updated count
I didnāt realize albinos were so rare until I got on discord
And melas
I knew those were insanely rare
I feel like piebald female red deer have a higher spawn rate than males even though I know they donāt. I have like 9 piebald females and 3 males
If you donāt shoot females then the spawn rate is 0% š¼
Theyāre all initial spawns and from multiplayer
I got 3 or 4 initial spawn piebald females from revontuli resets
The only reason people stack anything is for fun
supposedly stacking diamonds helps spawn more diamonds but I believe thatās just confirmation bias and it doesnāt actually do anything
Ya im just tryna get my 2n red deer.
I've got 40 dimes and 8 rares so far
And like 12 trolls i think
Congrats! Now get number 8 before he gets number 7 so you can really rub it in!
I think stacking 9s works in the opposite way of stacking low levels. Stacking low levels gets more max levels, stacking max levels gets more low levels
Obviously this isnāt confirmed, but itās what I believe
Thank you! And all I want is to get a mela super rare before him xD
no or yes
its all luck
so it could be in 1 kill or in 10000
Ik but its annoying
i get my 9s up then go for the lower levels
probably works either way
Like you stack the 9s and then go for lower levels?
Stacking max levels is the way to produce low levels. Stacking is a herd managing tool that people donāt seem to understand.
its simple for me to understand
more 9s = spawns get pushed down lower
more lower levels = more 9s
then shoot 5 6 7 8
Thatās it!
@full cave just curious how many kills you got on red deer?
Yeah fr
Like 5-10 kills so far
Iāve heard people say that āitās common senseā whilst avoiding all common sense
I think common sense is relative. One thing that is common for another, can be alien to me lol. But you can explain herd management to people and them still not get it.
I'm trying to explain it to my friend rn
He's still kinda confused lol
Iāve finally got some time to grind
Gonna get a few whitetail kills before I move on to red deer
Howās everybody elseās grind progress?
My Rev grind is looking almost done. Gonna have to do a once over and just double check all my exterior zones. But itās almost time for Dime-apocalypse
I will be doing that tomorrow though, into my 12 hour work shift right now.
Hey i wanted to do a herd management GO grind for my first GO what levels do i shoot?
Which GO are you going for?
Red deer
Personally I shoot 5 and up and leave 4's and under
Ok ty
For animals that max at level 9, generally you want to shoot 5s and up
For animals that max at 5, shoot 3s and up
For animals that max at 3, shoot 2s and up
Ok tysm
I stg if I go over 20k kills before I get my 4th great one im gonna freak tf out
Can we talk about any grind of does it have to be Great one grinds
This channel is meant for GO grinds but itās just become a channel to talk about any grind
I'm starting a Parqe grind to see if the animals there can be herd managed
All herd animals can be managed.
You can use herd management on any species
For lv5 diamond animals do you leave the lv2 and below or just lv1?
^^^
Now I get it
Whatās up with my shooters Iām getting far fewer high level stags than before
Red deer are becoming about as inconsistent as whitetail for me
Nvm theyāre back it just took a run for them to go back to normal again
(Besides Red deer, Whitetail, and Black bear.) What trophies did you get with herd management?
I donāt grind any other species lol
I got my diamond albino fallow from herd management.
But I mostly stick to GO grinds. Up to 28 GO in the lodge, and one whitetail GO on the map still.
Iāve never touched herd management haha
Oh hey Sonic i passed 100 kills on the Layton grind
Watch me get a great one sub 1k
Youād think with how awful my red deer luck is Iād get a GO WT pretty quickly
Pretty much how mine went only flipped. 9k whitetails and only 1 go and no super rares. Not even a mela male off Rancho
My first time starting and grinding whitetail on Rancho was good. I pulled 3 GO in less than 5k. Pulled 2 more GO and a SR by 13k.
The Layton grind is slow but hella fun
All my respawns have been coming back as 2s or higher
Two level 3s so far, so about one level 3 per 50 kills which aināt bad for now
And Iāve still got a few zones to go through at the bottom and centre of the map
Dope
But yeah Layton grind is fun, might be a little slower but 8-18 kills every 15 minutes or so isnāt bad haha
Literally me
he just like me fr
I need that for ducks xD
Just realized I'm now at 4,684 total hours on cotw
Not yet, I still need to achieve 20k mountain lions/pumas without a super rare xD
Then I'll be into madness
Letās just make ya miserable then
you know sometimes I really don't like you xD
pretty much xD, at least the red deer got my back
Lynx >
Lynx still better btw
Naw
! ban @full cave committing heresy
L wolves better
!behead @full cave
Yk after you are beheaded you have enough oxygen in your brain to be conscious for a few more seconds
too much information.
Time to start some grinding
5 dimes in the first 13 deer of the day, I hope they keep coming and the SR is gonna come tonight.
I'm just waiting for my first GO
How many kills are you at?
and another diamond
and a lvl 10 @full cave
the game is hot nothing is gonna stop me today
Bro really got a great one and 271+ within 15 minutes I donāt believe this
how about two great ones?
no of course not
some people grind hard and get crazy stuff like that
Lmfao
are you stacking the great ones?
nope
oh I was gonna ask if it worked lol
I just shot the second one after i confirmed him I gonna do a quick summup
Number 15 @full cave
wtf
In the 54 Kills that I confirmed today, and I nearly confirm every deer. I had 2 GOs and 10 diamonds, the map ist hot like hell right now so there is no need for me to stack any GOs.
did I mention that my game is hot right now?
my current run is crazy today
dont want to stop level 9s respawning like level 4s
š¤£
was funny coming to lake where i had 1 diamond now theres 3 in same group
I donāt even know what to say
Thats nice, when i first startet with herd managing I stacked the lvl 9s too until there where nothing but 2s, 3s, 4s and diamond potential 9s.
I stacked 31 9s at that time and 29 made diamond
Congrats on passing me in red deer, but Iām still ahead of you in terms of total GOs!
how many GO whitetail do you have?
3
right now I'm two ahaed for red deer right?
Yeah
Itās gonna be a while before my next GO is posted because Iām going for black bear
so I have 1 whitetail GO, so we are tied again but on a other level
Oh geez I guess so
You make my 7 in 4,605 kills look average xD. Congrats!
Is that 3 great ones in a day?
yes it is
that are 3 GOs in 1 hour and 38 mins
And me and Sonic havenāt gotten one in several thousand kills each
at some point something changed for my grind and they kept coming faster and faster, I don't know where this is gonna end. And thanks
In the amount of deer you've shot since your last GO I spawned 13
nice
i been culling 4s today
as there were loads 4 level 9s respawned today
?
since yesterday the only thing that has changed is that the big albino i've shoot yesterday respawned as a lvl 2
ahhh
i got 11 diamonds on map now and the great one
will grind some more after ,made dinner
Oh alright
14
did I say hot I meant melting
...... Mind blown what the heck

I gonna get a heartattack when one of this beautys walks in with a whitish fur
I want to know what triggers them.
#17
no I would say I have a normal herdmanaging grind setup
Youāre insane man
I'm not shooting that many deer, you can see the last one is still in the codex.
How many runs ago did you get that last one?
Two im an hour wth
I think 3 runs
@sharp tulip are you using herd management
He is
Back on the grind
ok
The lake I always start at has so many big males now
I remember like 2 days ago it would only ever have 2 shooters
Now itās got atleast 10
LETS GO ANOTHER ALBINO
albino what
@full cave your theory of even rares scoring middle estimate of their estimate and unevens scoring top might actually be true
Albino red deer
nice
266 minimum stag. Nice
I was planning on stacking diamonds again but this guy I just have to shoot
hopefully it actually scored decent and not the bottom of the estimate
It was only a 267.18
yea I thought so most of the time when you see them they score the bottom
a*
Iām not too bothered honestly
Oh youāre joking
A level 4 mela
Wait thatās two very rares in a single run
You have officially motivated me to go for another great one red deer
I hope for my second grind a albino stag shows up
I've wondered that the 4 years I've played this game
Still never got one
Have you grinded anything whatsoever
Itās not a fun process but it makes it a little easier to get one
I've grinded red deer I actually enjoy them the best thing I got out of that is my 270+ red deer and the great one and I'm currently doing a whitetail grind I'm like 9 rares and 8 diamonds in
You got any great ones?
I got a black bear a red deer and a messed up whitetail but I'm hoping to get a second go red deer and another go whitetail that I don't mess up
You have a black bear GO? Jealous
the black bear was a initial spawn
and I'm glad it was because I'm not grinding them ever
at least not unless they make them better
it's the fabled chestnut
some time I should start a blacktail rare grind
Youāre kidding me
I only have 1 blacktail in the lodge it's a 191.90 scoring so I should go for the rares
Not only was it an initial spawn but also the fur type I want the most
Iām genuinely jealous lol
it is probably my second fav
I was lucky because a few days later I got a diamond 23.67 scoring black bear
I have the great one and the diamond in a multi mount together
I had a max score max weight initial spawn black bear on my SRP before the reset
My goal is to make a multimount for each GO
So a huddle GO WT and the 2 BB GO multimounts
I can make a go red deer flee state I need 2 more great one whitetail for a great one huddle and I need 1 more go black bear for that multi mount
but I don't see the second go black bear happening for a while
I really hope they add one
I want one as well
my goal is to get 10 go red deer I only have 1 rn so it's gonna take a hell of a time to get but I love grinding them so that's fine
I don't care what the rack is or what it looks like either way seeing a great one will always exite me
hopefully the next great one is actually enjoyable to grind
unlike the bears
yea it would be
some day I wanna see a multi mount with all great ones huddled
it would be cool
or like a black bear attacking a whitetail
No
see I don't think they would because then it would blow the suprise
