[rancid cove]

[plush estuary]

its hard to tell my game has stupid ass glitch with fog

[rancid cove]

try figuring out if a moose is melanistic with that

[balmy summit]

christ five big rack white tail RIP

if my next go is the same rack im gonna cry

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah.

[balmy summit]

@hidden pagoda how’d you get the mela red deer on the tiny display

[hidden pagoda]

Old lodge glitch that they accidentally patched lol

[rigid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/emotional-damage-emotional-damage-meme-funny-gif-24332819

[acoustic cedar]

2.7k in now

Where

MOOSE

[rigid forge]

I ate him

[plush estuary]

how

[acoustic cedar]

Self hatred and spite

[tiny kestrel]

This is exactly how I felt during my red deer grind

[rigid forge]

Mel is even more of a masochist than most people in here

[acoustic cedar]

I bet a lynx did

[plush estuary]

no matter how hard i try i cant kill any more than 100 per day

i usually kill like 20 a day

30*

[tiny kestrel]

If I see another great one moose posted ima scream cuz I wanna bow hunt on Vurhonga but these pics make me want to grind

[plush estuary]

im going to shoot every male moose i see from now on

screw HM its nto helping

[acoustic cedar]

How many was your red deer?

[plush estuary]

its just making me kill less moose

[tiny kestrel]

Took me 5770 kills to get my first red deer GO

My longest grind for one was just under 10k kills though

[acoustic cedar]

Damn why do I feel this grind is gonna take that long

[plush estuary]

if someone aint giving me better advice than "keep level 2 and level 1 kill the others" im just gonna murder them all

[rigid forge]

Bears

[acoustic cedar]

Lol welcome to the dark side

[tiny kestrel]

I truly hope it doesn’t

[plush estuary]

cuz the only thing sspawning from keeping those level 1 and 2 is level 3 and 4

[acoustic cedar]

I’ve been saying it’s gonna be bear 2.0

[plush estuary]

i'm like

im about to be 300 kills in and i have 1 diamond

[acoustic cedar]

I appreciate that

[mossy orchid]

im 500 in and have 1 diamond dont worry lol

6 trolls so far

[plush estuary]

this is what most of my zones look like

i dont even have any fucking level 5s

sorry for swearing im just sick of this

[mossy orchid]

issa process homie, not gonna happen instantly

[plush estuary]

this is the biggest thing ive seen all week

[rigid forge]

will there be a scream that wakes up the neighborhood when you see big boi moose?

[plush estuary]

there gonna be a scream when the devs fix the stupid annoying foliage glitch

stop making me sound like a car when im walking

[tiny kestrel]

Praying to god my moose grind is sub 1k kills for the first

I don’t think I can handle red deer grind numbers again

[plush estuary]

also about the process not taking instant

people be getting 30 kills an hour

im getting that in 24hrs

for anyone that'd take a week to get theirs

it'd take at least a month for me because my map is absolute bullcrap

[somber turret]

I say everyone could go outside and probably hear it when it happens around the world

[plush estuary]

say goodbye herd management

you were nothing but a burden

[somber turret]

I can't say goodbye to something I've not really met

[plush estuary]

this is the kills ive got today.

within. 3 hours

[somber turret]

Do you record them in a discord chat?

[plush estuary]

ye

dont have anything better to put it in

[somber turret]

Why not a counter of some sort?

[plush estuary]

i still have to put it in manually

give me an ingame tracker

[somber turret]

Please

If a species kill tracker got added I would die of happiness

[plush estuary]

lmaoo

[tiny kestrel]

We should have one on the companion app lol

[plush estuary]

this tbh

what counter do i use

[somber turret]

Eh you would still have to manually put it in it wouldn't be any different than having a different app but one that you don't even have to worry about would be amazing

[rancid cove]

i mean that kinda exists but you guys have an issue with mods

[plush estuary]

pls dont call hacking modding

it doesn't make it any more innocent

[somber turret]

Two different things

[plush estuary]

still changing game files

[rancid cove]

uhh no

it simply lists them

[somber turret]

Modding by what he is referring to wouldn't

[plush estuary]

what are you doing then

[somber turret]

Hacking is changing game files

Modding is doing stuff for adding stuff to the game that doesn't exist naturally

[rancid cove]

the animal population tracker has a built-in kill counter. it just reads your pop files

[plush estuary]

but.. still messing with the files?

adding a file is messing with the existing ones

[somber turret]

That is moding

[plush estuary]

my ark game didnt work cuz i accidentally added an extra file

[fast ridge]

It's also still a Rule J thing.

[somber turret]

Yes

[fast ridge]

the devs don't like anything messing with game files. End of story.

[rancid cove]

im just saying it exists

[plush estuary]

well im not using it

hacking, exploiting, "modding", whatever y ou want to call it

[somber turret]

Lol yes

[plush estuary]

next time i kill one like this i need to see if those little waves count as tines

[mossy orchid]

I think they do

Is a SR rarer than a Great one?

[tiny kestrel]

Yes

[mossy orchid]

dangg

[tiny kestrel]

By a large margin actually

[mossy orchid]

I used up all my luck before starting my go grind 🤣🤣

[rigid forge]

By a couple orders of magnitude

[hidden pagoda]

I’ve started leaving the 2s as there’s enough in the right places now

[mossy orchid]

nice

im working on getting most of my twos in the right places too

[hidden pagoda]

Wasn’t gonna manage for the moose but they’re managing themselves lmao

[plush estuary]

i jsut started slaughtering mine for a "population reset" since idk how to get them in the right place, it makes no sense to me

and ive already killed like 10x the amount i usually would

[hidden pagoda]

I’ve been wiping zones and whatnot and they’ve been coming back as all 2s in the furthest places to check so it’s just made to be

[plush estuary]

oo

how does wiping a zone help

[hidden pagoda]

My moose weren’t respawning lol

So I started wiping like old rancho

[plush estuary]

oh okay

yeah i dont think mine have been respawning much either

[hidden pagoda]

But now that I’m covering the whole map they seem to be respawning properly without wiping them

If I see a single cow I’ll still shoot it

[plush estuary]

same

cows die

waste of a need zone

[hidden pagoda]

Yuuup

[plush estuary]

wish there was a way to reset population of a map without editing game files

cuz my map is sad

grinding has made me really not appreciate medved lol

i need to hunt the other animals in it more often

ALSO im stupid and didnt realise the .243 could take down class 7

i mean class 6

[hidden pagoda]

Grinding has made me love Medved lol

[acoustic cedar]

if I see one, I’ll scream so loud it wakes up the nearest town

Gonna have a smol break to do the missions on NEM then back at it

[plush estuary]

this tbh

[acoustic cedar]

Like I’ve said, maybe I just won’t be fortunate enough to get this one...

It’s a big possibility

[somber turret]

i mean youll get one its just a when

[acoustic cedar]

It might never happen tho

I take nothing for granted

My rng might never line up

[somber turret]

Didn't you get a great one white tail off of multiplayer?

[hidden pagoda]

I really hope this’ll be like once my whitetail got reset for rancho release and it only took me 500 someodd kills after that (ignore the 4600 I did prior)

[acoustic cedar]

Just gotta pray it does!

[acoustic cedar]

I did

[somber turret]

If that happens that means you will get a moose at some point you will get one

You could get one when you never expected

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you, I do hope so! I’ll keep working at it for as long as it takes

[balmy summit]

need to kill my next go like this (not my harvest)

[hidden pagoda]

Oh lord

[somber turret]

Just if it starts really getting to you do something else go after some other trophy you want for a little while and come back

[hidden pagoda]

Texas heartshot on a GO

[balmy summit]

no when i saw that in the trophy gallery chat

its so precise

went between the lungs

[acoustic cedar]

I will, for sure

[hidden pagoda]

Wait how did it not hit the liver tf

[balmy summit]

IDK

[somber turret]

Also if you're fixing to New England story enjoy the shit out of it because it is amazing at least compared to the last like six but me personally I think it's one of the best stories of all of the maps

[balmy summit]

the liver should cut across the body right

idk

[acoustic cedar]

Sweet, just started now

[hidden pagoda]

Kek

Shmol

[plush estuary]

that was. not there before

[balmy summit]

solo male respawn

[plush estuary]

i think i just shot a moose in the neck

like the bone

[balmy summit]

yes

[somber turret]

Yay I hope you enjoy it a lot and I wish you luck of trophies you might find on your way playing through it

[plush estuary]

i dont think ive ever done that before LOL

[balmy summit]

i do that when i cant reach the heart

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much!!

[plush estuary]

oo i might play it to take a break too

ive started it up to the surprise guest

(I know who it is, i just dont wanna spoil it haha)

[somber turret]

[plush estuary]

yep, neck

[somber turret]

Good because if anybody start talking about it while we was talking about it I was going to delete there messages

;)

[plush estuary]

jesus he scored nice n high

i wish all my level 4 close to/above diamond estimates scored like this

i started using an online coutner its way easier

the website has accounts so it should save

[somber turret]

neat

Hopefully it makes life a lot easier for you

[plush estuary]

is it just me or do female moose die faster

[somber turret]

If you ask me most lower level animals die faster

And female compared to male for most species

[plush estuary]

yeah

just realised this pose bugs out the lung outside of the skin on the x ray view lol

just kind of killing every moose i see cuz i really need money

say byebye needzones

[acoustic cedar]

Thinking imma do that later

Just strip my map back down to as few need zones as possible and refresh them

[plush estuary]

yeah

[acoustic cedar]

Shoot every animal possible

It worked on my other grinds

[plush estuary]

why does this exist

he's literally just a triangle

[hidden pagoda]

Lmao

[plush estuary]

respawns already

wonky one this

me: "gonna kill them all since i need money" also me: goes to NEM before harvesting them all

[balmy summit]

THE FUR SHOWS NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[tiny kestrel]

WOOOOOOH

[plush estuary]

OO

[balmy summit]

it wasnt last night tho???

[tiny kestrel]

I’m even more tempted to grind for them now

[tiny kestrel]

Closing and reopening your game seems to work with fixing a lot of recent issues for whatever reason

[balmy summit]

W

major W

[acoustic cedar]

😍😍😍

I neeeeeeeeeeeed

[plush estuary]

should i check all my maps for initial spawn GO meese

[balmy summit]

might as well

[plush estuary]

i know the chance is miniscule and knowing my luck, i wont have any

[torn relic]

I’ve just been decking merriams with the zarza lmao

I got about 9 today

[hidden pagoda]

YOOOOOOO

I want the birch so badly

[plush estuary]

weird lookin rack

he was right in my face so i figured may as well kill him

[hidden pagoda]

Kek

[torn relic]

Super uneven but that’s a pretty good score

[plush estuary]

not really

[torn relic]

Well no but two of its points are way larger than the opposing side

[plush estuary]

yeye

[torn relic]

you’re on hirsch right?

[plush estuary]

no

hirsch doesnt have moose

im in new england mountains usually hunt moose in medved

[torn relic]

LMAO I wasn’t even thinking right there 🤣🤣🤣

Im on srp just finished up all the need zones for merriam

[plush estuary]

LOL rip

i was like "wdym 'am I on hirsch'"

[torn relic]

I normally go for bison on srp too, occasional elk because I don’t have a caller

[acoustic cedar]

Looks like my NEM missions are bugged

[plush estuary]

rip

[acoustic cedar]

There’s 0 red fox zones where it says I’m supposed to find one

[plush estuary]

how so?

oh

it's not visible

[acoustic cedar]

Nope

[plush estuary]

go exactly to the marker on the map

and look down

theres a carcass

just doesnt have a highlight

[acoustic cedar]

Bruh

Thank you so much

[plush estuary]

np. I just did that mission myself lol

got me confused for a few minutes too

[acoustic cedar]

No wonder I couldn’t see it lmao

[plush estuary]

Story mission is quuuiiite short but there are a heap of sidemissions that are enjoyable

if im right in thinking the mission im on is the last story mission

WTF

WHY DO BOBCATS MAKE WOLF NOISES

scared the life out of me

[acoustic cedar]

Lol 😂 they do make some interesting noises

[plush estuary]

nah it literally played the wolf growl audi

o

[torn relic]

Oh yeah.. scares the life out of me every time, they must’ve reused the audio

[spare pilot]

While we're on the topic of Bobcats.
Does anyone know if they are attracted by the Jackrabbit Caller?
He works on Mexican Bobcats, so I assumed he would work fine on Bobcats in general, but they are happily ignoring my calls while all the Fox and Coyotes come in...😅

[balmy summit]

anyone have a picture of the butterfly rack irl

[plush estuary]

(should i mark these as spoiler)

[balmy summit]

probably

i coudlnt find any rack like that on google

crazzyyy

[plush estuary]

just deleted the first one sinc the 2nd one shows it better

since

[balmy summit]

where'd you get the pics

[plush estuary]

google

just searched up moose with 4 brow palms

[balmy summit]

i did wtf

also go caribouuuu

[plush estuary]

Apparently butterfly antlers happen when one moose absorbs a twin moose from the womb at early development

but keeps the rack

[hidden pagoda]

Damn

[balmy summit]

that's incredible

[plush estuary]

this is a bull elk

[balmy summit]

JESUS

yes give me an elk with boulders on its head

GO elk but make it have giant palms like a moose

[plush estuary]

yes

[balmy summit]

need.

[plush estuary]

LOL

i think some of these are rosies

[wary mason]

Dem handlebars

Away my noble steed born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen starts playing

[hidden pagoda]

Just over 500 kills in…

That’s nice ig

Schmol

[balmy summit]

perfectly average

[hidden pagoda]

Lmfao

[balmy summit]

SONIC

NOOOO WAY

OH MY GOD

OH MY FUCKASWQRNQOIHRIQOJRQ

NAHHHH

[hidden pagoda]

WHAT???????

[balmy summit]

im just messin

[hidden pagoda]

I figured lmao I was expecting a level 1

[balmy summit]

if i could get a min score that’d be better than another go tbh

[hidden pagoda]

Min score?

[balmy summit]

minimum score

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah no shit

What is it?

[balmy summit]

LOL

idk

[abstract atlas]

min weight atleast would be nice

[hidden pagoda]

Fs

[trail hornet]

are level 1’s really that rare?

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah

Well

If they’re like

This smol yeah

Diamond potench

Right rack too

Rip

[wary mason]

Trolly boi

[hidden pagoda]

Ish

[brave summit]

Dang that sucks, I got a diamond potential on my grind map but I’m keeping him for stacking.

[hidden pagoda]

Ahhh

[old jewel]

game just keeps giving me

[pliant oak]

dreams of big mela

i only had one mela red deer male in like 5000+ kills

🤣

[old jewel]

im under 200

kills

[pliant oak]

RNG gods love ya

😁

[old jewel]

2 initial female albino red deer, 1 initial diamond, 2 big rack dimes on map

only 1 troll

under 200 kills!

[pliant oak]

piebalds i get about every 100 kills lol

[old jewel]

none piebalds

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah I got like

way too many pies

[pliant oak]

checked my red deers stacked yesterday for first time since update

a lot had moved zones

but still all there 28 diamonds stacked

[old jewel]

damn

[pliant oak]

hmm medved or red deer on te

what to grind today

[old jewel]

any

do coinflip

[old lichen]

Medved sounds refreshing tbh. A good snow map

[distant falcon]

did anyone get theirs last night

[hidden pagoda]

Uhhhhhh

[hidden pagoda]

^

[distant falcon]

saw that one

was hoping mel got one ):

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah not yet

[rigid forge]

Trust me you’ll know when she gets one

[distant fog]

What’s the longest grind y’all have had? I’m 5,000 in on one map and one continuous grind with no GO. Curious what’s the longest grind y’all have had on one map cause this is out of hand and I’m losing hope lol

[hidden pagoda]

13,667

But that was more than twice my previous longest grind

[high heath]

spelling mistake gone wrong

[distant fog]

All on one map though? And without any map resets?

[hidden pagoda]

[hidden pagoda]

Yep

[distant fog]

I’m gonna lose my mind

I have 4 GO’s but I’ve never had one go over 6200 and I’m worried this one is going that way lol

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah my first 5 were all 5174 or less (7 and 6671 if you include the reds) and then that happened

[distant fog]

Oh good lord all mighty

[bright meadow]

That would be brutal on this grind 😬 I just can’t get the numbers I could on deer and reds.

[hidden pagoda]

Couldn’t do that on moose lol

I’d go insane

[bright meadow]

Yeah, I feel that

[hidden pagoda]

I mean I’m at almost 600 and I’m already feeling it lol

[distant falcon]

same lol

[bright meadow]

Yeah, I’m trying for about 50 moose a day. That would be like 270 days lol

[hidden pagoda]

oh lol

I been doing like 200 a day

[distant falcon]

yeah im around 200 a day

[bright meadow]

I just don’t have much time with my work schedule.. doing the best I can tho

[hidden pagoda]

Ahhhhhh

[daring kernel]

Around 600 kills in on my moose grind, zones are terrible at the moment 🤮

[misty dagger]

nothing would be as painful as a lion or fox GO

[daring kernel]

Jackrabbit?

[exotic star]

How are the grinds going

[daring kernel]

Or lynx? 🤣

Horrible zones

[distant falcon]

SAD DAYS is how it is going

[exotic star]

My Yukon grind I have deemed dead in the water at 450 kills

Med ved has more than a good chance

[distant falcon]

lmao im starting with 650

[daring kernel]

Prolly have to stop HM just to be able to shoot something

[exotic star]

I was doing hm along with stacking 5s on my Yukon and it obliterated my moose spawns

[daring kernel]

Damn

That sucks

Why tf are my zones SO INCONSISTENT??

[exotic star]

That's what was happening to mine

[misty dagger]

nah jackrabbit would be easier than fox

fox go to their zones really late and there's like 50 on a map lol

at least with rabbits they feed and rest all day so it's consistent

[distant falcon]

Hmm I left a five up last night but not seeing him... stop being late

[exotic star]

GO ptarmigan or pheasant would succ

[hidden pagoda]

Hence why I started wiping them

[distant falcon]

Yep

That's what I'm doing now

[exotic star]

Idk if I would want to do that

Sometimes the zones just need a break

[distant falcon]

I'm just bored and like seeing what it changes

[daring kernel]

That helps?

[distant falcon]

It makes new ones spawn

[hidden pagoda]

seems to, the moose just don’t like respawning into zones that already exist strangely enough

[daring kernel]

Hard to wipe zones when they're empty 🤣🤣

[hidden pagoda]

Like

Erase them

[daring kernel]

Yeah but how if there is no animals there?

[distant falcon]

If they're not coming at all, are you set up too close?

My moose arelate but they're always there by 15-ish

[daring kernel]

Nope they were coming before

[distant falcon]

lol I had 7 originally at the big lake

[daring kernel]

Time seems to be completely random for me

[hidden pagoda]

Weird

[distant falcon]

mine have never been terrible, I just get tired of the same zones that are in annoying places

[past steppe]

that big lake is annoying to navigate

so much walking

[distant falcon]

Like i always approach some lakes at certain angles and that makes the moose always be like.. behind a treeline or something? and i have to always go all the way up?

yeah nah i get rid of that zone lol

[daring kernel]

Just shot diamond no. 5 or 6 of the grind

A glimmer of hope

[hidden pagoda]

Put a tent 300m away from the far right end and equal distances from the north and south edges, saves a bunch of time.

[past steppe]

I

Ill try that, Thanks

[pliant oak]

you will get innitial spawns and ones that will stay

as you progress in a grind zones can swap

or become unhabited

that lake for me was the same innitially now i have like 3 - 4 males

[acoustic cedar]

Right time to try nuke my map

[pliant oak]

dinner nearly done then im on

😁

[bright meadow]

I’m using HM but but I only have like 5-6 shooters per run, almost all my zones are level two males. I am on Layton though, probably just not as many moose as some of the other maps

[pliant oak]

thats what it should be like

then it should force bigger males

[bright meadow]

K, it’s a little boring but I’ll stay with it for awhile 👍

[pliant oak]

key is set a goal or a objective and just have a break if you bored or not having fun

i set a goal of 15 moose per run then have a break

you dont need to be sweating your mind out for 12 or more hrs a day its not fun or healthy

[bright meadow]

Yeah, I’m just trying for 50 a day. I figure that’s still a decent chunk

[pliant oak]

yeah that will soon add up

similar to what i do per day

you have a good chance of getting one under a 1000 with herd management

[runic nacelle]

My map has so many 4s. I’m hoping it’ll make cleaning out non-priority zones easier

[distant falcon]

Same, my map is loaded with 3 and 4s

[runic nacelle]

I would say mines currnetly sitting at like 75% 4s, 23% 3s and like 2% 2s a single 5 to start with

[distant falcon]

my exact numbers yesterday were:

1 lvl1
32 lvl2
44 lvl3
20 lvl4
0 lvl5

I have had two fives spawn since I've been clearing the big lake and destroying zones

One was a troll or w/e, the high estimate was just like 279

other was this that i fudged and still got diamond lol

[high heath]

@vapid escarp you what

[distant falcon]

NO HM NEEDED!!!!!

KY !!!!

[vapid escarp]

👀

[distant falcon]

good job!!!

[hidden pagoda]

DAMN

NICE!

[vapid escarp]

really wish I was recording when I initially saw him, I was eating and saw the fur and about choked LOL

[distant falcon]

Where did you get him?

[hidden pagoda]

fabled oak actually isn’t bad

[distant falcon]

I know it doesn't matter or w/e but I'm still curious

I think oak is really pretty ngl

[hidden pagoda]

I like it

[distant falcon]

oooo

[runic nacelle]

Oak is one of my favorites

[distant falcon]

That lake is always a hotspot for me

[hidden pagoda]

Niceeeee

That lake is full of 2s for me

[pliant oak]

it starts out good

then you get less males at it

but it does often have about 4 - 6 males

those two little ponds below are decent

[terse wyvern]

It's about that time again lol I hate moose

See if I can get to 800 today

[mossy orchid]

soo how often are yall checking all your zones

[runic nacelle]

Okay I think I’m done finding majority of my zones at least.

[mossy orchid]

bc it seems like im very often having animals respawn not at the zones I took them at

and instead are spawning at my secondary zones

[terse wyvern]

Every once awhile, I had to yesterday cause all my moose were having a party at a lake I don't normally check

[pliant oak]

the bottom left ones you havent got zones at you can get them there

i have a diamond moose on one of them

[somber turret]

@vapid escarp big congratulations on the big boi meeeese!!! beautiful animal

[pliant oak]

which go was it ?

[full cave]

My hm for moose is finally picking up

[vapid escarp]

Branchy oak

[vapid escarp]

Thank you! 🖤

[pliant oak]

also you want to keep a look out for anyone posting at that lake with a fabled spruce as its a cheat

did say about this yesterday for mods to see

[somber turret]

Okie dokie

[terse wyvern]

All I'm saying is if mine spawns at that lake I hate you😂

[distant falcon]

@hidden pagoda can you explain the tent at the big lake again?

something like 300m but that's legit all i remember lol

would search but satellite internet, lol search rarely works for me

[runic nacelle]

Can you point out where exactly? If it’s the one by the outpost there I checked and hadn’t had any.

[pliant oak]

are you early on in the grind ?

as some spots innitially may not have them and zones may swap later on

[distant falcon]

I have zones at all the bottom lakes

[hidden pagoda]

Uhhhhh

[distant falcon]

also check skull lake @runic nacelle

[hidden pagoda]

Here

[distant falcon]

tyyyy

I couldn't get it to search ;_;

[hidden pagoda]

Ahh no worries

[distant falcon]

you're also missing all the hidden lakes alex

[terse wyvern]

Got my great one 😂

[distant falcon]

amazing!!!! BEST RACK EVER!!

[rigid forge]

Mel is gonna die

[terse wyvern]

Mel still doesn't have one, damn its a war crime at this point

[vapid escarp]

I hope hers pops up quick

[pliant oak]

noooooo he shot a level 1 🤣

was just checking a lake and got attacked for the first time by a male capper

was fun

[ashen depot]

Way too go @vapid escarp a 100% dissolve that. That moose is beautiful.

[vapid escarp]

Thank you! 🖤

[tiny kestrel]

@vapid escarp first off, congrats on the moose GO, second, I hate you because now I wanna grind moose again

[fast ridge]

If no one's answering in that channel, it means no one's interested in multi atm.

[barren swallow]

nobody ever checks it lol

at least ps4 players

[tiny kestrel]

People check it far more often than you’d think

Again, what Lyra said, it means nobody’s interested in playing multiplayer atm

Try again in like 30-45 minutes

[barren swallow]

👍

[runic nacelle]

Yes I haven’t even started. I expect zones to pop up n move around

[runic nacelle]

I’ve checked most of them, none have zones atm ^^

[vapid escarp]

First off, thank you and second off, good luck if you grind again!

[plain raptor]

@vapid escarp Congrats!

[cinder dagger]

yeah very nice moose kyla!

[polar socket]

damn, kind of a disappointment with that estimate

[hidden pagoda]

They ain’t gonna score above 275 regardless lol

[full cave]

They can

They get to 276

[hidden pagoda]

eh maybe

point is

They ain’t getting to 280 let alone 311

[tiny kestrel]

theoretically they can
The odds of it happening though are so obtusely low you’re more likely to get several ultra rares before it happens

After 275.5 the odds of them scoring higher get exponentially lower

[hidden pagoda]

I mean truracs have to have a max at some point lol

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t think it does actually

Like I said, there’s a soft limit with what I just explained earlier but I believe there’s no hard limit to it

Only way we can find out for sure is if the devs tell us. Which they never will

[polar socket]

yh i mean i just want the 275.5, i didnt expect it to go over that :D just want the "max" for them

[tiny kestrel]

275.5 is the technical max anyway yeah

[hidden pagoda]

There’s apparently been a 276 but nobody has a screenshot of it so I doubt it actually exists

[fast ridge]

or is legit, for that matter

[hidden pagoda]

yeah

[tiny kestrel]

Hey guys here’s is my 350 scoring fabled melabino white tailed blackdeer

[hidden pagoda]

I mean I can say I have a melanistic drop tine but that doesn’t mean it actually exists xD

[tiny kestrel]

Wdym mine exists

[plain raptor]

There is no true “max” for TruRacs, but there is a common max which is basically the highest number that most people get and that anyone rarely ever passes

As a new player that can get confusing

[fast ridge]

It's less of a "max" and more of a "glass ceiling"

[runic nacelle]

Yea only one of the hidden lakes so far have zones for me as of right now (before shooting anyhting)

[vapid escarp]

Thank you! And @cinder dagger appreciate ya!

[terse wyvern]

I'm jealous of that Go, except I want the ashen fur type

[glossy cove]

Pretty good day so far

[mossy orchid]

noice

[plush estuary]

i was on autowalk. hello there

big boy

[tiny kestrel]

CAN MY GAME STOP CRASHING 👹👹👹👹👹

[plush estuary]

rip

[rancid cove]

i wish id farmed a diamond chamois before they took away drink zones...

hunting a small skittish goat in densely vegetated mountains sucks so hard

[plush estuary]

awh

whyd they take it away??

[tiny kestrel]

To make then harder or smn

[plush estuary]

goddamn it

I love them

I dont hunt them much but they're fun little buddies

Remind me to go explore my Te Awaroa more

just realised how packed this area is with need zones, starting to look like my Vurhonga haha

I should try to get a SR Musk deer

or at least a diamond one

I don't have one yet

[plucky dragon]

What will it score

[plush estuary]

uhh.. is it a mythical?

it won't get diamond

It looks like a troll rack, mythicals have those a lot

[plucky dragon]

Its a nine

[plush estuary]

oh.

[plucky dragon]

Its not troll rack

Big rack

[plush estuary]

could you zoom in on it with ur binocs and press print screen on your keyboard and send that here?

it'll take a screenshot of your screen

the key is next to F12 for me

[plucky dragon]

Wheres print screen

[tiny kestrel]

Nice!

[plush estuary]

it should be to the right of your F12 key, its also shortened to pr scrn or something i think

PrtScn

[plucky dragon]

Im confused

How to i send it here now

[plush estuary]

ctrl v

[plucky dragon]

I screen shoted it

[plush estuary]

if that doesnt work press windows and print screen key at the same time

just easier to see if you send via screenshot instead of photo

[plucky dragon]

Wheres print screen

[plucky dragon]

Oh ok im doing it rn

[plush estuary]

ty xD

[plucky dragon]

Cotw closed i gotta re open it

[plush estuary]

just will be easier to tell. Is that on Parque?

F

[plucky dragon]

Yeah

Tell what

[plush estuary]

hey youre the person who hacks them in

[plucky dragon]

Its a dime

[plush estuary]

i think

[plucky dragon]

I dont hack

[plush estuary]

you were that guy who was like " i have sr!"

how have you played the game for like a week and have like 50 srs then

[plucky dragon]

I do have them

[plush estuary]

well a month

i know ive seen the screenshots

[plucky dragon]

I have like 5 and hace played for a while

[plush estuary]

i just dont believe theyre real lol

[plucky dragon]

Ive played longer than a month

I just quit play8ng for a while

[plush estuary]

oh okay

[plucky dragon]

I promise i dont hack

[plush estuary]

just find it.. weird. I have 1 sr and ive been playing for over a year

still kind of doubting it but you do you xD

[plucky dragon]

I think im just lucky

I was red deer grinding

And one reset i found two super rares at like 3500 kills

[terse wyvern]

I played for 5 years and don't even have 1

[plucky dragon]

It was just luck

[terse wyvern]

I haven't played consistently tho to be fair

Besides Go's

[plucky dragon]

Im doing print screen but it shows both monitors is that ok

[plush estuary]

uhh no

idk why its doing that

[plucky dragon]

I dont know either

there it is though

[distant falcon]

Are you on steam?

[plucky dragon]

Sorry for it showing both screens

[plush estuary]

yeah dime rack

[plucky dragon]

yeah why

[distant falcon]

press f12

that's steam's screenshot key

[plucky dragon]

i did what where do the screen shots go to

[plucky dragon]

i did but I dont klnow where the screen shots go to

[distant falcon]

uuuhm i open steam, go to thehunter, and there's a block that says "from today"

and that's where i find mine LOL

[plush estuary]

Open steam -> under your profile, click content -> then click upload screenshots -> double click a screenshot for it to open in photos app or whatever yours is

[plush estuary]

after double clickin

Longer way but easier to access every single screenshot youve taken with f12

[plucky dragon]

there

is that a better picture

[distant falcon]

damn very nice

[plush estuary]

yeaah...

[plucky dragon]

thanks

[distant falcon]

why am i doing moose when i could do red deer

[plucky dragon]

i can teach you how to do red deer

[distant falcon]

might take you up on that after i get this GO moose

they are so pretty

[plush estuary]

god

im sorry but theres no way youre just lucky

no one has multiple srs just sitting around

[plucky dragon]

i only have one thats hikm

I only have one super rare on my map

[plush estuary]

but you have others youve killed

[plucky dragon]

can u call

[plush estuary]

no i am not voice chatting with a random person

if you seriously have all of these without hacking im sorry for assuming otherwise but its just. super rares are even rarer than GOs. do you have any GOs?

[plucky dragon]

yeah i have three whitetail

[plush estuary]

okay

[plucky dragon]

I cant gewt any red deer even though they seem easy to get

i can show you proof of the hwitetaiul if you need it

[tiny kestrel]

How many kills are you at with both grinds?

[plucky dragon]

whitetail around 8450 and red deer i lost track but I would guess around 7500

maybe some more

[tiny kestrel]

And how many GOs/SRs did you say you have for both?

[plucky dragon]

red deer on my grind I find 2 and whitetail one

red deer was a piebald and a mela

[tiny kestrel]

Sounds about right. Lucky bastard lol

[plucky dragon]

I know it sounds fake but I was just as shocked when I found them that early on to

[tiny kestrel]

Nah I believe you

[storm anvil]

I am done with this game, I just lost thousands of dollars worth of tents and tripods. They really need to fix whatever is going on cause it not like I can just make a few hundred thousands of dollars appear in my inventory

[plush estuary]

they also have: albino moose diamond, albino red deer diamond, piebald red deer diamond, leucistic turkey diamond, melanistic red deer diamond, piebald whitetail diamond

just by looking through messages.

See why I think that's sus?

[tiny kestrel]

Say, how long have you been playing the game?

[plush estuary]

this will be their SECOND super rare melanistic diamond red deer.

i know people can have luck but good lord

[plucky dragon]

I played a lot about 1 year and a half ago stopped played about 9 months ago and then played then till about 1 month ago and started again about a month ago

sorry if that complicated

[tiny kestrel]

If all of these are legit then congrats, if not then I dont know lol

[uneven coral]

This new update is horrible all my red deer are changed from their heard

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah it sucks

[plucky dragon]

They are real and are the red deer on te being scattered around the map right now from the past update

[tiny kestrel]

Yes

It’s a bug

[plush estuary]

let us have racks like this as diamond PLEASE i love the huge tines

[uneven coral]

I wish they can fix the red deer and whitetail because my old setup was amazing I shot 6GO and 1 super rare red deer now my set up is not effective

[tiny kestrel]

You’ll have to adjust it

It sucks I know

[plush estuary]

wonk

[uneven coral]

Also I noticed that it is really hard to shoot 2 deer or moose on a controller I used to shoot 2 and that was it

[terse wyvern]

Not really I can do it just fine

[vapid escarp]

Is a WT GO grind on Rev a pain? I haven’t gone for whitetail yet when it comes to great ones

[tiny kestrel]

Animals spook faster now too

[tiny kestrel]

It’s one of the better maps for them it appears

[fast ridge]

North half of the map is loaded, especially the northeast corner

[vapid escarp]

Betttt. Just the setting up I dread 😭😂

[tiny kestrel]

I’m probably gonna grind them on Rev with Layton being my Roosevelt elk map

I’m only gonna set up on the top 1/3 of the map though

[terse wyvern]

I had an amazing set up on Rancho but mid grind the game decided to remove all my tents and tripods for me😂😂😭😭😭

[vapid escarp]

Oof I would be so upset if that happened to me

[terse wyvern]

Yeah I quit grinding lol

Sucks I was like 600 in too

[uneven coral]

Same I’m done with grinding because all my red deer which are my favorite to grind moved and I was really efficient

Cotw hates the grinders

[plush estuary]

i have like 30 red deer at this point in the river lol

[pliant oak]

i have 5 diamonds very close to that spot

😁

[plush estuary]

nice

[terse wyvern]

Honestly idc about moving zones, just don't touch my tents😂

Usually have to deal with things moving anyway so I would rather adjust

[tiny kestrel]

I forgot how annoying it is to set up grinds

[vapid escarp]

Yeahhh it’s not motivating when it comes to setting up

[tiny kestrel]

Also just thinking about how long it took me to get my first red deer GO also furthers that demotivation

Praying the moose and black bear go by super quick or don’t take long

[mossy orchid]

the setup for moose wasnt that bad for me

[terse wyvern]

My red great one motivated me to want them all lol Its the only reason I'm grinding right now

[mossy orchid]

Still haven’t gotten my first GO yet, was 2k kills into my WT grind on rev when it got messed up from the multiplayer bug

so I just decided to do moose on rev instead

[terse wyvern]

Damn 2k

At that point I would have just said well I'm committed now lol

I hope it doesn't come to that tho

[tiny kestrel]

I have moose setup I’m just hoping the grind ain’t long

[terse wyvern]

That's another good motivation, Rng lol

[tiny kestrel]

It’s really not

[terse wyvern]

Well I always think man this could be the one, or this could be the one

[tiny kestrel]

RNG is a double edged sword. On one hand I could get a super rare and 3 great ones in a thousand kills or get fuck all for 5k kills

[terse wyvern]

Or I like my odds of getting 20 of them 😂😂

[full cave]

I got to 5k+ RD with no GO.

[tiny kestrel]

Same, my first was 5770 kills in

“this will surely be the one” only gets you so far with motivation

[terse wyvern]

Mine was 950 I was lucky

[full cave]

I stopped playing, Jusssst right as we started to finetune herd management.

So to be fair I haven't played in like 4 and a half months....

[terse wyvern]

Well I'm almost 800 in and it still motivates me thinking this could be the one is all I'm saying

[tiny kestrel]

You clearly haven’t gone nearly 10,000 kills without a great one

And knowing full well that could happen again makes me not even want to attempt a moose grind

[terse wyvern]

Yeah maybe but I got a positive mindset

I always consider that option

[tiny kestrel]

I had one too, didn’t do shit for me

[terse wyvern]

I'm not saying it does, but it keeps me grinding

[tiny kestrel]

Fair enough I suppose

[drifting dirge]

does heard management help with the GO?

[terse wyvern]

Diamond number 10

[vivid birch]

Alright so I have the big lake split in half on MedVed, the one side has 4 zones with males and females and 2 with just females, on the other side I have 6 zones all females 3 with single female. Now my question is should I shoot the single female zones and try to get males to spawn there?

[drifting dirge]

id say leave it moose moves zones all the time so killing her wont do anything males will move to her ramdomly

[terse wyvern]

Not 100% sure but I doubt it, cause I have seen people get one and others not for many kills

[drifting dirge]

thx

[terse wyvern]

It's just luck basically, cause I imagine they work like rares

[terse wyvern]

I just got a piebald

He has a chance to make dime but I doubt it

[tiny kestrel]

Not with GOs

[misty dagger]

Only GO I have I got in 500 kills

[tiny kestrel]

Wish I had your kinda luck

[terse wyvern]

They need ro add more moose multi mounts I would love to have my piebald male and female together

Or even 2 males together

[tiny kestrel]

I doubt they will, for a while at least. They’ve just added a multimount for them which means we’re likely not getting one for a decent bit

[terse wyvern]

Probably, maybe with another lodge

[tiny kestrel]

Hopefully we get a new lodge this year

Would appreciate a rework of where animals can fit too

[terse wyvern]

Yeah for sure, gaint log cabin would be sick

[tiny kestrel]

I would love a winter themed lodge

[vivid birch]

I want them to add a shooting gallery

[distant falcon]

actually let my big lake get rid of hunting pressure for once..... let there be a GO

[runic nacelle]

HM has begun and while trying to clean out less desirable zones a 5 spawned. Think I’m going to keep him even to try to get smaller ones to spawn

[lilac stirrup]

anyone got a medved moose map

[lilac stirrup]

fasho

[vivid birch]

Like this?

[unkempt parcel]

That's just all lakes marked with X, you can just say they're drinking everywhere 😂

[somber turret]

Yup

It really don't need a guide you can just say everywhere

[mossy orchid]

I need to see a Go moose in the multimount

[somber turret]

You need to find somebody that has a trophy quill and a great one moose first

[lofty plume]

Just put a moose on a floor mount. It’s about the same. I’m sure you won’t notice the quail not being there.

[balmy summit]

@lofty plume What do I do if there are 1's and 2's in the zones that I like

[acoustic cedar]

I really wanna do that mount so imma probably hunt quail if I get a GO moose

[terse wyvern]

Finally hit 800 and idk if that's a good thing or a bad thing 😂

[unkempt parcel]

🦌 🔫

[vapid escarp]

When* you get a GO moose

[acoustic cedar]

IF

[balmy summit]

WHEN*

[vapid escarp]

W H E N

[acoustic cedar]

Can’t be out here tempting the RNG gods like this man

[balmy summit]

shut it mel you're gonna get one

[lofty plume]

Shoot them out.

[acoustic cedar]

They already hate me

[acoustic cedar]

Maybeeee

[vapid escarp]

I thought the same thing and I got one, so shh

[balmy summit]

i pass my luck onto you

[acoustic cedar]

Ok Kyla 😭

[vapid escarp]

You’ll get it!

[acoustic cedar]

I thank you very much for this!

[acoustic cedar]

Fingers crossed!! Thank you!

[vapid escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/light-transfer-hands-gif-4887592

My luck to you, if it loads

[acoustic cedar]

I’m nuking my map rn so maybe this will make him show 😈

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you! 🖤

[vapid escarp]

🤞🏻🤞🏻

[terse wyvern]

You got this!

[distant falcon]

lol did we all decide to nuke our maps today?

[acoustic cedar]

I think so lmao

[plush estuary]

I have so many ideas for lodges and everything its AAAARGH

you just made me remember them and my brain is having a breakdown processing it all at once LOL

adhd 😔

One of my best ideas was an almost... museum-like lodge, with exhibits of, say, an animal in its natural environment that you can change the background and landscape to different themes depending on if that animal lives in different maps or not, and to have multiple in one exhibit, like a herd of deer or whatnot

Like, multimounts but more to it

[distant falcon]

dioramas?

[plush estuary]

yeah kind of

and instead of having to use a specific gender for each animal, let that be customisable too

[acoustic cedar]

Cabelas style mounts

[plush estuary]

this

[balmy summit]

bass pro shops lodge

[plush estuary]

lol

[distant falcon]

i would buy a bass pro shop dlc especially if i got a pyramid

[balmy summit]

revontuli or layton for whitetails

[plush estuary]

NEM

xD

[mossy orchid]

i say rev

[plush estuary]

but yeah rev i like more for wt than layton

i dont play layton though so

[lofty plume]

Rev

[balmy summit]

taking a break from moose now it got boring and i have 2 go's so im good for now

[plush estuary]

HELP im also taking a break, running around in vurhonga, my stomach made a growling noise cuz i hungy and i thought WOLVES were hunting me

[distant falcon]

Another pie! my third.

i hate how easily i freak out out

saw weird coat color and big antlers and my heart went !!!!

[balmy summit]

@lofty plume do you have a map of your zones posted anywhere?

[lofty plume]

I’m not sure where the zones are currently. I heard they moved a bit with the update. I have been shooting moose on New England since early access.

So it might not be current.

[balmy summit]

that's fine, i haven't exactly explored revontuli yet so i dont know where the wt are gonna be

are they at every lake, pond, and on the coast?

[lofty plume]

I DMd you my old map

[acoustic cedar]

2.8k in now

[lofty plume]

That’s so many moose kills.

[mossy orchid]

got my 7th troll moose today 🤣🤣

[lofty plume]

My moose I swear have been trolling like 50% of the time.

[acoustic cedar]

Sounds about right

[mossy orchid]

yeah my 5s are trolling like crazy lmao

[acoustic cedar]

And still 0 great ones lol

[distant falcon]

same

same x2

[lofty plume]

I did get a dime with no paddles today though! That one was exciting!

How are the rares for you with that many kills @acoustic cedar

[mossy orchid]

didnt even know that was possible, thats sick

[acoustic cedar]

3 piebald bulls

[lofty plume]

I would nuke my map too! Lol

[distant falcon]

wow mel i have around 750 kills and i have 3 pies

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah clearly moose hate me

[lofty plume]

That bear grind though!

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah I reckon this is gonna end up as similar numbers

[lofty plume]

I hope not for your sanity. He will show up soon!

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you!

[hidden pagoda]

alright what did I miss

[terse wyvern]

Geez I don't even care if I get one I just want poor Mel to get one, please take my luck! 🍀

[acoustic cedar]

🖤😭 You’re too kind, thank you!!

[mossy orchid]

Hey Mel, what do you mean by nuking your map?

[balmy summit]

@mossy orchid genocide

[distant falcon]

probably burning out zones

on purpose

that's what i'm doing

[vivid birch]

Im having a terrible time trying to spawn in high lvl 4s and 5s after I killed 7 dim potential 4s and 3 5s. Only 2 diamonds out of those..

[acoustic cedar]

Shooting absolutely everything that I can regardless of pressure

Cow? Dead. Bull? Dead. Zones? Dead.

[mossy orchid]

gotcha!

[neon cedar]

who grinding moose on yukon

[acoustic cedar]

I used to do it daily with whitetail so I figured maybe a lil refresh might be a good idea

[distant falcon]

it's helping me, i think. i've gotten more 5s (even if trolls) today than the entire grind

[mossy orchid]

im thinking about switching to medved

[vivid birch]

Is it possible I have too many lvl 2s on my map?

[plain copper]

Best map to grind moose?

Ima assume med

[distant falcon]

medved is king

[rigid forge]

Map? Barren wasteland

[plain copper]

Claim or leave

[acoustic cedar]

That’s the goal, then let them all come back

[distant falcon]

i claim all

[plain copper]

Who’s got the best set up

Ima assume scarecrow since the mad man got his in under 500

[mossy orchid]

Ive decided to switch to medved, atleast for right now

[acoustic cedar]

“Best” is very subjective

[distant falcon]

there isnt really a best set up because it all depends on your own map and what lakes you want to grind

[balmy summit]

me > 🙂

: - )

dammit it wont let me do the face

[plain copper]

Wanna know what’s a better face

:>

[acoustic cedar]

Nah it’s definitely me

[tiny kestrel]

There is no better or worse set up cuz everybody’s zones are different

[plain copper]

Which lakes are the best producers

[acoustic cedar]

That’s why I don’t have a GO yet

[acoustic cedar]

Depends on your map

[distant falcon]

it really depends on your own map, crow

[plain copper]

Figured

[distant falcon]

there's no "secret" it's just your own map lol

[tiny kestrel]

Also no definitive answer cuz everybody’s map is different

[distant falcon]

for me, it's the big lake, and the bottom right big lake

but i saw someone said those were ghosts for them, especially bottom right

[vivid birch]

As I’m sitting here complaining about not seeing any lvl 4s or 5s

[hidden pagoda]

:)

[distant falcon]

bottom right consistently produces (troll) 5s for me lol

[plain copper]

Imagine I have a GO while discovering my zones-

[balmy summit]

are you checking all your zones

[rigid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/emotional-damage-emotional-damage-meme-funny-gif-24332819

[balmy summit]

they might be hiding
