🦌︴great-ones

[terse wyvern]

Yes!!!👀👀

[tiny kestrel]

Tbh, if you’re using the treestand glitch to get pictures of something I’d say that’s fine. As your only goal is to be able to get up close without spooking the animal to snap a picture, not using it to get an unfair advantage

[acoustic cedar]

I do be feeling more positive since this reset

It feels more possible

[sturdy marten]

I could see the usage for some of those picture missions

those can get buggy and hard

[terse wyvern]

Yeah that's reasonable

[tiny kestrel]

Of course mods might disagree but I say it’s reasonable

[terse wyvern]

But still big no no

[sturdy marten]

He he he haw

[tiny kestrel]

Since ima be stacking my GO I myself might use it to get a few decent pictures

[fast ridge]

yeah I highly doubt that guy's playing legitimate

[tiny kestrel]

I just wish that damn ingame camera worked like it does on PC

[sturdy marten]

they were a little too close in my opinion

[terse wyvern]

Fr

[sturdy marten]

seems fixed

[sturdy marten]

console doesn’t even save the pictures

so the in game camera is useless

[tiny kestrel]

that’s what I’m referring to

[sturdy marten]

ah my fault

[tiny kestrel]

You’re aight

[terse wyvern]

Another thing that needs change

[sturdy marten]

also what’s with that desynchronizing thing on multiplayer

[tiny kestrel]

No idea

[sturdy marten]

is that a common thing or do I need to fix my connection

[tiny kestrel]

Just the game freaking out

[terse wyvern]

Along with multiplayer stuff too

[tiny kestrel]

It’s not your wifi’s fault

It’s on the game’s end

[terse wyvern]

Yeah its a bug

I tryed playing a few days ago and it no work

[sturdy marten]

Multiplayer is spotty on console

but I dont tend to see hackers as much

[tiny kestrel]

I can take decent pictures if I turn my HUD off and put away any weapons I might have. But I can’t alter my FOV and I can’t crouch cuz it’ll show my arms

[terse wyvern]

Yeah its very difficult to cheat on console

[sturdy marten]

Xbox has the worst search engine in human history

[terse wyvern]

Fr

[tiny kestrel]

Oh shit a 273 minimum level 5

imagine he trolls

[terse wyvern]

💀💀💀

[sturdy marten]

what do moose make it at

I thought it was 271

[tiny kestrel]

274.99

[terse wyvern]

I have had one do that lmao

I was big sad

[sturdy marten]

yeah me personally if that trolled I’d commit violent atrocities

the moose would go down a level on the endangered species list

[terse wyvern]

This 👆

[tiny kestrel]

Oh wait he’s the big rack

[terse wyvern]

This too 👆

[tiny kestrel]

Let’s go baybee

Wait he wasn’t he has fused brow tines

[sturdy marten]

is that the 300 rack

do they fuse over 300?

I thought all those were separate

[terse wyvern]

I like how bushes have the biggest hit box known to man kind

[tiny kestrel]

No it’s one size smaller

288.91. Still my 2nd biggest diamond of the grind

Behind that enormous piebald

[terse wyvern]

I have 3 I believe that are 300 scoring

[sturdy marten]

I have none

I have two 270s and one 280

[terse wyvern]

At least 2 idk about the 3rd

[tiny kestrel]

My only 300+ scoring moose is that piebald lol

[terse wyvern]

That's not okay lmao

[sturdy marten]

if they make a fallow great one I hope they continue with the different fur types

they kinda spoiled us with that

[terse wyvern]

Fr fur types are the mvp

[sturdy marten]

I’m half expecting a red fox for the next one though

considering those are everywhere

[terse wyvern]

Yeah or coyote

[rough ocean]

ngl; i had the most lucky diamond his max rating was 258 and he made diamond

idk how

red deer btw

[tiny kestrel]

Water buffalo make diamond at 167.5
I had a 167 max estimate make it

[terse wyvern]

M1 is such a menace

[sturdy marten]

I wouldn’t mind coyote but they have to like make those stupid things easier to hunt

[terse wyvern]

Yeah for sure

[sturdy marten]

not everyone enjoys hunting at 00:30 at one lake on Layton

[tiny kestrel]

Rancho would absolutely be the best map for them

I’ve seen like 3 dozen at just one lake

[sturdy marten]

what lake was that and what time

I wanna find a male Melanistic

[terse wyvern]

Yeah I got my 1 dime coyote by pure luck on that map

[sturdy marten]

I have a female but it doesn’t go with that multimount

[terse wyvern]

But they all over

[tiny kestrel]

Where does SRP take place again?

[glossy cove]

Colorado

[tiny kestrel]

Imagine they add whitetail there as a backfill species 😈

[terse wyvern]

It would actually make sense

[tiny kestrel]

Would be the best map for grinding them I imagine

No stupid huge lake system to worry about

[terse wyvern]

For sure

[glossy cove]

I wouldn't mind it, as long as they don't get the mountain goat home range xD

[terse wyvern]

Lmao

[tiny kestrel]

A restricted home range + a fantastic map with a solid number of lakes?

Yeah it would actually be the best map for them by a mile

[sturdy marten]

Might actually have the motivation to get a great one and join the club

Every time I try and do it on Revontuli I get bored looking for zones

[tiny kestrel]

I would grind like there’s no tomorrow if they did get added

[sturdy marten]

Weren’t they gonna add blacktail to SRP

where did that go

[glossy cove]

instead we get pheasants

[terse wyvern]

It's def one they should consider

Cause I have seen wt all the way to eastern oregon

[tiny kestrel]

People got pissy about it

Said their home range didn’t extend up to Colorado

[glossy cove]

People complained that it wasn't realistic and they scratched it

[sturdy marten]

blacktail really getting shafted in every new map release

they are on one map

and barely

[terse wyvern]

Yeah fr

If they add a GO for it I'm sure it will get another tho

[sturdy marten]

the only map they are on they get overshadowed by the whitetail

[glossy cove]

I mean it doesn't help when their diamond racks look bleh

[tiny kestrel]

OG blacktail rack >>> truRACS blacktail rack

[terse wyvern]

Yeah they need a complete redo

[terse wyvern]

I'm glad I'm not the only one

[glossy cove]

and a new color for their antlers and not just the dead head color

[sturdy marten]

whitetail are like squirrels where I live

so you see the occasional genetic discrepancy

[tiny kestrel]

Fun fact

Every black European ground squirrel is a melanistic. It’s an extremely common deficiency in squirrels

[terse wyvern]

Yeah there is a albino blacktail a few towns from me

[sturdy marten]

Saw that on my way to Walmart and I thought it was a goat

someone will probably illegally shoot it but that’s alright

[terse wyvern]

I have seen a weird elk too

Not albino but some kind of color

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve seen bison, some species of deer (I forgor), a Canadian lynx (was fun seeing one of those) and an up-close experience with a black bear

[sturdy marten]

They have a lynx at my local zoo

That’s as close as I’ll ever get to seeing one

[tiny kestrel]

Mine was in the complete wilderness lol

[terse wyvern]

I have had some close calls with black bear lmao

[sturdy marten]

I did see a black bear

[terse wyvern]

I love hunting them

[sturdy marten]

It climbed onto my neighbors porch and scared their cat

[terse wyvern]

But it's a different kind of scary

[sturdy marten]

cool campfire story

[tiny kestrel]

Dude I got attacked by one lol. We lost our good rods and a few blankets cuz we decided “hell naw” and waded through a lake back to our truck

[terse wyvern]

I watched my dad smoke his first black bear with a bow, and that thing was massive

55 yards lmao

[tiny kestrel]

We were fishing in an restricted firearm area too so we weren’t allowed to carry a rifle/shotgun even if we had one and wanted to

[terse wyvern]

Damn

[sturdy marten]

bro was trying to shake its hand

how far did it go

[terse wyvern]

Not even 20

My dad punched it straight through the heart and it ran a little ways and did the death moan

[sturdy marten]

ouch

[tiny kestrel]

Bro pulled a Omniman 😭

[terse wyvern]

We thought he missed tho cause it stood there like nothing happens for a sec

And about to draw my handgun when it ran off

Walking up on it was scary too, never had a bear die that fast

[sturdy marten]

you ate it I assume

[terse wyvern]

Yeah he got this last year and we been eating it

[sturdy marten]

what’s the texture like

Never had bear

[terse wyvern]

Idk how to describe it but its not like deer

It also is something to think about he was standing on a rotting elk when my dad shot him lmao

Nastiest bear ever dealt with

They have alot of fat on them though it's crazy

[tiny kestrel]

Just hit 1800 kills

[terse wyvern]

Congrats?

[sturdy marten]

certainly hope you meant in the game

[terse wyvern]

Never know if that's good or bad lmao

[tiny kestrel]

In the moose grind

[terse wyvern]

Lmao

[sturdy marten]

if he was a good murderer you wouldn’t know he was a good murderer

[tiny kestrel]

Nah I just kinda like announcing my progress lol. Helps me keep a mental note of it + comparing to how other people are doing

[terse wyvern]

I am almost 100

[sturdy marten]

I don’t know how you guys get this high, I hit like 612 on my fallow grind and I gave up

it gets so tedious

[tiny kestrel]

21174 red deer kills 🙂

[sturdy marten]

to be fair I did find what I was grinding for but like you get the point

[terse wyvern]

Unless I start playing luigi's mansion again then I won't be at 100 by the end of the night

[sturdy marten]

That’s 2x the population of tuvalu

[terse wyvern]

Gotta have that positive kd

Gotta make sure its good enough

[tiny kestrel]

Technically my K/D is 21174 as you don’t technically die ingame, you just get knocked out

I said technically twice i am so sick

[acoustic cedar]

Spite is how I do it

[sturdy marten]

Yeah bro I was cooked at these numbers

you guys are hitting 1k in a couple weeks

[sturdy marten]

Do you recommend I have a personal grudge against the species

[terse wyvern]

When I'm not super distracted yeah

[acoustic cedar]

Yes

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve been grinding for 4 weeks and have only managed 1.8k kills

[terse wyvern]

I was cooked at 2k moose

[tiny kestrel]

I definitely want to be getting more kills I just don’t think there’s anything I can do to increase these numbers

[acoustic cedar]

I’m broken but still fighting

[sturdy marten]

I mean I was successful on that grind but I definitely could have been more successful if I kept going

[terse wyvern]

I slowed down alot but I pulled it

[sturdy marten]

I think I had like 8 piebalds

1 Melanistic

1 albino

and 1 super rare

I shot the albino and figured it was time to move on

[acoustic cedar]

In 600 kills?!

[sturdy marten]

To bigger and better things

[acoustic cedar]

My daysssss

[sturdy marten]

yes i was quite successful

[terse wyvern]

I better get a bunch of rares this grind or I'm gonna poop in the shower

[sturdy marten]

it is also worth mentioning that I had like 5 zones

[acoustic cedar]

Imagine if I had good RNG I’d have 12 supers

[sturdy marten]

That’s why I got 612 kills in like 4 months

The turtle always wins the race

[tiny kestrel]

My RNG is alright…

[acoustic cedar]

Alright he says

Alright

How many kills for your super rare and go moose?

[terse wyvern]

Mel's luck is built different

[sturdy marten]

“My RNG is alright”

one ups the great one release

[acoustic cedar]

Mel’s luck doesn’t exist! Or hasn’t so far, who knows now…

[terse wyvern]

And not in a good way evidently

[tiny kestrel]

I mean

Does it really matter?

[acoustic cedar]

yes

[sturdy marten]

EW when Ad Infinitum refuses to find normal trophies

[terse wyvern]

Now your gonna get one lmao 🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞

[tiny kestrel]

70 kills in 2 runs what the hell

[terse wyvern]

Talking shit always helps you get one

[sturdy marten]

Bro I was getting 70 kills in 7 days at the height of my fallow grind

[acoustic cedar]

I really really really really really really hope so

[tiny kestrel]

I try to set myself a somewhat decent goal like “get the 2nd GO before you hit 2k kills” and then I reach that goal and go “aww he didn’t spawn :(” then get it like a few dozen kills afterwards lol

[sturdy marten]

who else thinks they should replace this rack with a better one

[tiny kestrel]

I like that rack

[terse wyvern]

I always just start talking shit at some point and the games just like oh bet

[tiny kestrel]

I somehow always predict my super rares

[acoustic cedar]

I like that rack

[sturdy marten]

super rare(s)

[acoustic cedar]

It’s one of my only two unique ones out of the 7 I have

[sturdy marten]

said nobody ever

[tiny kestrel]

It’s not even on purpose either it’s just randomly in a conversation I say “imagine I get a super rare today” and bwam

[terse wyvern]

I wish it was that simple

[tiny kestrel]

Or they appear out of friggin Narnia when I least expect them too

[acoustic cedar]

Cough cough

Imagine I get a super rare today!

[sturdy marten]

I have a super rare goose

[acoustic cedar]

Cough cough

Now I will get a super rare

[tiny kestrel]

[acoustic cedar]

I have said the magic words

[sturdy marten]

waltuh

[tiny kestrel]

Imagine I get an SR whilst you’re trying to predict your own SR

[sturdy marten]

see but the problem with it is

[acoustic cedar]

Stop it

[sturdy marten]

It’s no longer technically a super rare

[terse wyvern]

I should just start talking shit and maybe the game will give me one

[tiny kestrel]

If I get another one today I will fucking cry

[sturdy marten]

Or wait maybe the other way around

are grays rare now

[tiny kestrel]

Yes

[sturdy marten]

so yes the other way around

I shot it when they weren’t

now it’s rare

[tiny kestrel]

It won’t happen I’m sure of it. Or will it?

[sturdy marten]

So I don’t count it

[tiny kestrel]

How long ago did you shoot it?

[acoustic cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/reee-skeleton-dancing-reeee-reeeee-gif-15250451

[sturdy marten]

Whenever the geese first got fixed

Like when they used to be super hard to hunt

[terse wyvern]

Oohhh I miss that clip

[sturdy marten]

The first time they fixed that

[tiny kestrel]

They were still rare back then

Always have been iirc

[sturdy marten]

I thought they were uncommon

perhaps I was mistaken

[acoustic cedar]

Bruh I can almost get the 300 but I need money

Sad times I’m poor

Remembers my 8 mil fondly

[sturdy marten]

I am forever proud of what I have

No matter how many unreasonably cool super rares get shot

Mel I have sorry for putting salt in the wound

I have sorry?

It’s too late for this

[acoustic cedar]

You have the sorry, yes?

[terse wyvern]

I bought all the guns in the game before the last update

[acoustic cedar]

I had them all

But sacrifices had to be made

[sturdy marten]

even those strange cowboy weapons

[terse wyvern]

Yeee

[acoustic cedar]

And hey seeing as that patch didn’t take effect maybe if I got a GO it would’ve been common so the game refused to spawn one till now

[sturdy marten]

there could be one on your map right now

Maybe you’ve just gotten unlucky and it has been evading you

[terse wyvern]

That's what I always worry about

[acoustic cedar]

I restarted my save so I’ve only shot maybe 30 moose

[sturdy marten]

anything is possible

[acoustic cedar]

This is true

I don’t wanna do another 5.7k kills

I really don’t

[terse wyvern]

Is there a way to reset without loosing all your lodge stuff

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah

New game

Like what I did

Resets everything but your lodges

[sturdy marten]

You know I just realized something

[terse wyvern]

It saves everything in lodge? That makes me wanna

[sturdy marten]

A while back I shot three red deer diamonds on the same multiplayer map

And I now realize I think I messed up someone’s stacking efforts

[acoustic cedar]

That’s their fault

[terse wyvern]

The other half of me knows the pain of the game without perks and skills lmao

[sturdy marten]

yeah I mean they’re mine now so

[acoustic cedar]

Shouldn’t open your game to multiplayer if you don’t want things shot

[sturdy marten]

the temptation is always there

what if just restart and tested my initial spawn luck

[terse wyvern]

Yeah I limit my maps to only ones I'm not grinding

For multiplayer

[sturdy marten]

The ascent scope really is brutal

might as well just use the iron sights

[terse wyvern]

Fr

We need more scopes tbh

[acoustic cedar]

Yes

[terse wyvern]

Attachments in general, I think Holos and lasers would be good, muzzle breaks to reduce recoil would be cool too

I still don't agree with suppressors it's too op tbh

[sturdy marten]

Hope they never add any suppressors

I like the loud gun noises

[terse wyvern]

Yeah or make something like the air rifle

I think we need an air rifle for class 1

[glossy cove]

If they did suppressors right, it could be really cool. However if done wrong they could cause some issues

Like if they were cosmetic then it could work out well for those who want less of a boom or just for looks

[terse wyvern]

After awhile GO grinding feels like aggressively scrapping chalk across a chalk board

[glossy cove]

Especially the bear grind

[terse wyvern]

Fr I might do my 2nd moose grind before bear

Wt are also more annoying then I remember them being

More inconsistent then my moose

I want you all to know I wouldn't wish volcanic diarrhea upon my worst enemy's

Finally crossing 100 in the grind

[balmy summit]

or just add another rack..

[twilit vault]

Can anyone help me fill up my trophy lodge

[tiny kestrel]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[tiny kestrel]

Time to grind again

[half gulch]

i want to try but have no idea how to lol

[terse wyvern]

I making it my life goal to find this lvl 3 and exterminate him

Interrogating his family isn't working

[tiny kestrel]

Bad batch season 2’s first few episodes came out and TWD season 11 is now on Netflix so I’ve got plenty of entertainment lol

[terse wyvern]

I listen to podcasts or music while grinding or I chill and chat here

And of course talk about assassinating a poor lvl 3 that did nothing wrong but exist

[tiny kestrel]

Another diamond

Not bad

That’s two in roughly 50 kills

[terse wyvern]

I can't find this 3 bro it's so annoying

[somber turret]

But T H I C C C

[tiny kestrel]

Another piebald

My luck is spiking

He’s my smallest piebald so far, but I’m pleased with my luck today so far

[terse wyvern]

Chicken nuggets

You ever just want to shove your head in a meat grinder

I'm sorry my bad I was trying to start some conversation

I went a little far

YES I FOUND HIS DUMB HEAD

Yeah he trolled but I got is stupid head that's what's important

Maximum happiness has been achieved for the day

[acoustic cedar]

Sweeeet well done on finding him

[acoustic cedar]

Big rack 5!

That’s two trolls and a big rack as initials

Much better moose spawns I’d say seeing as I only had a diamond 4 last time as an initial

Max weight too! 300.12

I’m feeling hella positive

[regal ledge]

Keep that good energy Mel 👍

[acoustic cedar]

My initial spawns this save are cracked
3 lvl 3s and an albino whitetail as initials on Rev
2 lvl 9s, an albino hind and two piebald hinds at three spots for red deer
3 lvl 5 moose initials, one being a max weight.
Ok yes some of these were troll max levels but it just feels heckin good

And that’s just for stuff I’ve checked which is barely anything

It just feels like a great start here on medved

[regal ledge]

Went and tested this because it doesn't make sense to me that the .300 is a slow moose kill. This'n is a moose done with a 7mm, which should be way weaker than the .300 and it gets 95.6% QK. I think he ran 50m or so.
I was thinking of getting Yukon/300 but if you're saying the .300 is equally slow then I dunno 🤔

And thats a Soft Point btw.

[north palm]

It would do more damage on a moose with a poly round deeper pen. More damage.

I use a 300. Poly and aim for double lung or lung and heart, sometimes lung and liver or stomach

[regal ledge]

We are all aware. This was for comparison.

[north palm]

Ok sorry

Just read up.

[regal ledge]

no, no worries. 🙂

[wary mason]

Woo! Congrats :D

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you!!

[somber turret]

It gets 100% on Cape buffalo as well

7mm softs under 150m slaps so hard it's not even funny

[wary mason]

Gun go brr

[somber turret]

Dunno never owned it

[wary mason]

He literally only hunts ducks lmao

[woven bolt]

my 3rd GO Moose, but my first with a fur type. So excited! ❤️

[wary mason]

Nice!

[acoustic cedar]

Insane, congratulations!

[woven bolt]

tyvm Mel!

[regal ledge]

I have been asleep in class. Can someone please explain the thing with Moose GO's and fur types? Can they be mela/albino or, ?

[full cave]

id save up for the rangefinder binos, the normal rangefinder doesn’t have really good range compared to the binos

[regal ledge]

^ I believe the monocular rangefinder allows lower zoom than the bins though.
The higher fov may be advantageous for bow hunters gauging distance at closer range.

[pliant oak]

think melas and albinos are possible just probably rarer than the 6 other furs we seen

not sure if anyone has had a mela or albino yet

imagine if this is with other GOs now

[regal ledge]

Jaxy said something about it in a stream but it was cryptic

if there are mela great ones then we now have super ultra rares...

[pliant oak]

basically he doesnt want to spoil the surprise i think

[regal ledge]

yeah

[pliant oak]

no pcs today so i can finally hunt for great ones

😎

[regal ledge]

ASMR claimed to have gotten his 3rd GO moose and it has a 'fur type' 🤔

Would not mind a closer look

Ah, godspeed on that 🙂

[regal ledge]

Can you show the harvest screen when the time comes

[tiny kestrel]

No they’re just ultra rares, like the rare whitetail GOs

[regal ledge]

I didn't realize there was an established technical nomenclature for this 😅

[north nova]

With my phone I zoomed and cropped as much as I could -

Of course, seeing actual harvest screen would be best once ASMR bags him, but for now this is what I could find you

[regal ledge]

Thank you for taking the time to do that 🙂

Yes, the Harvest screen is what I'm after.

[tiny kestrel]

Are you trying to find out what that specific fur type is?

Cuz it’s just Fabled Birch

It even has the butterfly rack like in this picture

[regal ledge]

Yeah I'm asking how it works.
I know there are like 6 different GO Meese, but they made it seem like they can have rare furs on top of that. Or are some variants of GO rarer? 🤔

[tiny kestrel]

Moose GOs can have any of the common furs that moose have (light brown, tan, etc), they also have the 6 fabled furs which are a tad bit more uncommon than the standard furs and then piebald, albino and mela being rare

[abstract atlas]

rare asf

[tiny kestrel]

And any of these furs can have any of the four GO racks

[regal ledge]

ok, so for an actual GO moose, the rarity chart is something like

1. Tan, broun, etc..
2. Fabled two tone, birch, etc.
3. Piebald
4. Albino/melanistic

(or are fabled furs rarer?)

[tiny kestrel]

Pretty much

The fabled furs are just a tad bit more uncommon than the common furs

[regal ledge]

I see, thanks for explaining 🙂

[tiny kestrel]

Np

[abstract atlas]

i just saw moose go aggressive on a lynx damn

[tiny kestrel]

It’s hilarious

[wary mason]

He's not moosing around

I'm sorry I'll go find the door

[rigid forge]

🤸‍♀️
🏌️‍♂️

[wary mason]

Wee

[woven bolt]

I can provide you the harvest screen after I killed him. As of right now he is still alive on my map

[rough ocean]

good luck he’s beautiful!

[full cave]

Could be spruce

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t think so

The brightness of the fur doesn’t match with how spruce looks

It’s easier to tell from a distance

[regal ledge]

I was this close to a diamond potential mountain lion.

🤏

||fml||

[pale oracle]

Well, its official. Im back to no HM grinds.

[tiny kestrel]

Funny

I’ve begun HM with my moose for shits and giggles

[abstract atlas]

Im too lazy to do it lol

[tiny kestrel]

I just wanna see how many level 5s I can stack on my map lol

[abstract atlas]

I cant go around the whoole map waiting for lvl 2s to spawn

[tiny kestrel]

Plus I wanna do it in an attempt to try and make sure no moose spawn in my outer zones

[abstract atlas]

Do a whole map 💀

[tiny kestrel]

Would be funny

Might even get a second SR

[terse wyvern]

I could only hope I get one

[wicked rose]

@tiny kestrel how many Great ones do you have?

[acoustic cedar]

I should shoot moose

More of them

[terse wyvern]

Yes

[glossy cove]

I'm gonna stop herd management too. It was fun for awhile but I miss just shooting everything

[terse wyvern]

Yeah the mass murdering of a particular species is oddly satisfying

[acoustic cedar]

Oh yes it is

Very much

[regal ledge]

and then, contest over.

[glossy cove]

Yeah and it'll be nice to go back to getting 1 diamond every hundred kills or so

[terse wyvern]

I wish that would happen to me lmao

Haven't had any dimes and In pushing 200 kills now

[pale oracle]

It was affecting people around me more than i realized. Not worth it

[terse wyvern]

Yeah tell em crow fam comes first

[tiny kestrel]

5 in total

[tiny kestrel]

That’s entirely fair

Oh btw, did you see the pics of the 4 racks I sent?

[pale oracle]

Exactly, nothing is worth ruining friendships.

[pale oracle]

Yes i did, i never noticed all that

[tiny kestrel]

It took me and Sonic like an hour to deduce all the differences lol

Main ones we found is the vine structure, ends and brow tine splits

[terse wyvern]

See I wish I could agree with friendships but all my friends have done is backstab me and cause me pain

[regal ledge]

Get rid of Wolf fam. Get Crow fam.

[terse wyvern]

Besides my 1 close friend, but he almost screwed me too so I don't know who to trust anymore

[terse wyvern]

I wish it was that simple

[acoustic cedar]

Idk what imma do if this GO pops on med while I’m still low level and getting money lol

[terse wyvern]

Ez claps get da bow

[acoustic cedar]

Bow could be cool

[terse wyvern]

I take all my GOs and a majority of my dimes with bow

[regal ledge]

Pretty simple procedure. Track him to closest need zone and save location for later.
or bow. I'd do bow.

[terse wyvern]

40m or lower

[acoustic cedar]

Oh I’ll wanna kill him lol

After pics

Yeah I always get super close for bow

[terse wyvern]

I like my victims close and personal

[acoustic cedar]

Lmao

[terse wyvern]

If I could use a spear I would but they don't have them yet

[regal ledge]

I was right about to kill a diamond potential mountain kitty with the longbow earlier.

[terse wyvern]

I don't understand the longbow, I tried so hard to understand the aiming but it just didn't work for me

I did manage to take a troll water buffalo with it tho

[tiny kestrel]

You aim right above the arrow shaft and a little to the left

[terse wyvern]

I tried that but it was very inconsistent for me

Fr tho can we have spears

[half harbor]

yes pleaaaase

[terse wyvern]

Or blow dart

[regal ledge]

To the left? It's pretty consistent on top the shaft for me. Then account for windage.

[tiny kestrel]

It’s not perfectly above the arrow shift even with good wind

It’s just a smidge to the left in my experience

[tiny kestrel]

That would be awesome

[half harbor]

i wanna spear a buffalo

[terse wyvern]

I wanna spear a GO

Or a lion

Lmao imagine grinding with the spear that would take so long

[tiny kestrel]

Tree stands are hella effective on Medved and Mississippi. It’s not out of the realm of possibility

[terse wyvern]

Yeah it just would take very long

But would be very interesting

I like tree stands alot

[tiny kestrel]

I use them extensively for waterfowl and moose

[terse wyvern]

I use them alot on Hirsch when I was red deer grinding on there

I had a few on Nem when I was thinking about moose grinding there

[iron valve]

Tree stands on mississippi are a must imo

[terse wyvern]

I can imagine

I used one for gators on there

[glossy cove]

Ok 20+ level 1's down, alot to go

[tiny kestrel]

What are you doing?

[glossy cove]

Done with hm

so I'm dismantling it

[tiny kestrel]

Ahh

[half harbor]

whats your guys' loadout for vurhonga?

[tiny kestrel]

.300, .30-06, 12g, .243 and 22lr

It’s the standard universal loadout pretty much

While I’m personally not against HM I can completely understand why y’all aren’t doing it anymore. Only reason I’m beginning HM now with my moose grind is simply for fun. I’ve already gotten an SR and GO without it so it’s not like I’m doing it to gain an advantage

[half harbor]

wait can you explain why people prefer not to do it (besides the obvious tediousness)

[acoustic cedar]

Some people like myself don’t like what it does to the game, so choose not to use it

[tiny kestrel]

Some people view it as exploiting mechanics

[acoustic cedar]

Pretty much

[glossy cove]

I just wish we had fresh spawns every time we load into the game

[acoustic cedar]

That would be best

Tho spawn mashers would take advantage

[tiny kestrel]

I disagree. I want classic and COTW to feel like separate games

If spawns were completely random each time then people would still grind by setting up on the best hotspots and just entering in, checking most/all zones, then exiting out and repeating

[glossy cove]

not if need zones didn't exist and didn't last hours

[half harbor]

i really enjoy WOTH's herd management. it's a big part of the game and highly encouraged -- without it you won't get quality males at all.

[tiny kestrel]

I feel like herds occupying a particular range would work far better, like instead of a single spot they go to during drink time, they go to a random spot along a river/lake within their home range

[acoustic cedar]

That herd management is done for realism so it’s cool

[glossy cove]

oh my gosh an albino respawned from me killing everything

[half harbor]

thats what WOTH's animals do, there are herds limited to specific regions of a map and they go to any areas where it's appropriate, and they're far more dynamic and a wider range than COTW's need zones

im talking like a 300 meter radius potential for them to be in just for drinking, eating, and sleeping

[tiny kestrel]

Would add a bit of needed randomness and unpredictability to grinding that I feel would appease to everyone without ruining grinding completely

[acoustic cedar]

Nice!

[tiny kestrel]

I obviously want there to be limitations. Like the animals can’t pick a place to drink that would take more than x amount of time, to prevent animals travelling across the entire map

Grind setups would focus less on zones and instead in covering the best hotspots and most favourable areas with clearer sightlines and such

[acoustic cedar]

Can almost afford the 300. Then this grind gonna pick up again

[glossy cove]

Nice!

[half harbor]

each area is where a unique individual herd (or couple of herds) will reside in -- they don't wander into other areas. so if you dont HM one zone and only focus on another, that one zone you neglected will have pretty garbo males

also the fact that you have to let males grow over time, they dont just spawn large

[north nova]

'Woooooah you're almost there 🎶 '

[acoustic cedar]

Livin’ on a prayerrrr

[north nova]

Hehe

[fast ridge]

so people are going to start harassing others over doing HM? Great.

[half harbor]

i dont think anyone implied that

ppl just have their opinions

[fast ridge]

if there's people who view it as an exploit, there's going to be harassment. People are like that.

basically, there's people who think they're entitled to tell others how to play the game

[tiny kestrel]

I sure hope not. I feel it would be extremely hypocritical of content creators and grinders to suddenly switch back to purge method and then call HM “not the intended way to play”

There’s no major examples of this just yet but I feel it’s going to happen eventually

[half harbor]

will be pretty lame to see people calling it an exploit

[acoustic cedar]

You can view something as an exploit without harassing people

You can just choose to avoid that content or not say anything

[tiny kestrel]

That’s entirely true. But some people think that their way of playing is the only right way to play this game

[glossy cove]

Alright so far so good and yes I purposefully messed up these diamonds since they got spawned in the last run ( which is crazy that 4 spawned when my go spawned )

the one I tried to mess up that one that is diamond, but 308 has alot more pen then I remember and hit intestines, liver, lung

I still need to kill more in like 10 15 spots

[acoustic cedar]

Damn

Good luck

[fickle coral]

Why are there so many bronze

Nvm

He's a sigma male

[half harbor]

lions are so buggy

[sturdy marten]

I’m gonna go hunt lions now just because you said that

maybe my albino is finally waiting for me

I JUST WANNA PLAY THE GAME

[half harbor]

three high level males just stood there looking at me stuck in Flee

[sturdy marten]

My reserves are being thanos snapped

bro that’s 16 dollars worth of reserves

That I no longer have access to

[tiny kestrel]

Honestly though, just play the game how you want. HM/no HM, grinding or casual play, just play however it is you want to play and don’t shit on others for their style of gameplay. If other people find grinding fun then leave them the fuck alone, same goes for casual playing. It’s a person’s choice to determine how they find fun in a game, as long as they aren’t downloading mod clients or altering game files

This whole stigma of “only a set amount of right ways to play” needs to go away

Why should we be shitting on other people for having their own way of finding fun in a game designed only for entertainment

[half harbor]

knowing the innerworkings and behavior of a game isnt a crime, and utilizing that knowledge isnt a crime either as long as youre not using external clients for your own benefit

[tiny kestrel]

If a person chooses to herd manage, then let them play that way. You might find it devalues trophies and makes the game way too easy, but they clearly don’t feel that way. However, their method of gameplay doesn’t affect you in the slightest. So why should you give a shit?

[sturdy marten]

It’s kinda like when people find secret ways to complete video games faster

it was already in the game

You just got creative and found a way

[tiny kestrel]

God it’s like Minecraft players getting upset at speedrunners and people who set up XP and item farms because “that’s not how you’re supposed to play”

Can’t everyone just find common ground and just accept that, at the end of the day, this is literally just pixels on a screen that are designed to entertain you throughout the day?

[sturdy marten]

shoot big animal run and go get

[tiny kestrel]

Exactly

[half harbor]

yeah, my personal stance is that (unrelated to cotw), speedrunners are ethical players since everything theyre doing is within the realm of the game, nothing external (besides tool assisted runs which are totally different genres)
also utilizing glitches isnt unethical to me. it might be cheesy, but its in the game and an "ethical exploit", like duping items and the crouch-sprint glitch, both of which were patched.
i dont really condone spreading information on a glitch in an environment that discourages it--but something like a video on youtube isnt anything bad.

[sturdy marten]

I think speedrunning is kinda corny but I don’t care if people do it

like bro the game was made to be enjoyed

But I’m not gonna fault you for it

Play how you want

[half harbor]

minmaxers are what we're talking about -- hardcore players who want to be as efficient at the game as possible

this encompasses speedrunners and HM grinders, etc etc

in a way, it requires a lot of skill and knowledge to be efficient at a game like this, plus the effort put into minmaxing your gameplay is an achievement in its own.
diamonds from HM, while more "common", still reward me since i put hours and hours into this strategy and the efforts came to fruition. its no different than stumbling across a random diamond on your map, or finding an initial spawn.

the value is just in a different sense -- rather than luck, it was effort

(or both)

[acoustic cedar]

The concern from those who dislike it is the longevity of the game when everything gets devalued

That’s all

It’s not against people it’s just worry bc we love the game

And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that

[tiny kestrel]

It doesn’t devalue that specific animal as a whole in any way, just for that specific player

[acoustic cedar]

I mean it kinda does, even for supers

[tiny kestrel]

If they’re fine with that then let them be

[half harbor]

well, that's their own choice, and if theyre not concerned about devaluing accomplishments and trophies, it won't affect anybody else.
each game is individual to the player, each experience is unique, since COTW is mostly a singleplayer game. what other people have accomplished is totally irrelevant to you in the grand scheme of things. other people's decked out lodges and GO's just inspire me to try harder and hold onto hope i might find one myself

[acoustic cedar]

When you see like a ton posted every day

[tiny kestrel]

All it does is make non HM trophies even more impressive in my eyes

[acoustic cedar]

Either way

[sturdy marten]

this is unrelated but it would be kinda crazy if I could play the maps I paid for

[vocal ether]

Idk hm never devalued anything in my eyes

[acoustic cedar]

People can view it as an exploit much like I do without harassing individuals

[tiny kestrel]

Like, getting an albino big rack red deer with HM is cool sure, but even getting a small, piebald SR through purge or even without grinding is insane and makes that person’s accomplishment even more impressive

[half harbor]

i think value is totally objective to the individual person. and the way a trophy was obtained -- was it an initial spawn? well, that's a lucky trophy. was it from a HM grind? well, that's a lot of dedication and time. was it with a crazy 100m+ heart shot with a bow? well thats insane, great job

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t think it should be viewed as an exploit and simply just “another way to play” with different rates of success and amount of effort required to put into it

[acoustic cedar]

I mean

It is an exploitation of game mechanics

[half harbor]

i respect people who HM just as equally as people who don't -- whether its from ignorance or their own choice not to

[acoustic cedar]

No matter how you view it

[fast ridge]

thing is, not everyone is going to understand that.

[tiny kestrel]

I’m completely respective of people who HM and people who don’t. Main issue, like Lyra said, is when one group begins harassing the other because they believe their own way of playing this game is the “correct” way

So, like I said, can we find common ground and just enjoy this game regardless of what we view as exploitive or not?

As a community?

[acoustic cedar]

I mean

I haven’t harassed anyone who’s been doing herd management

I’ve just made my views clear

[tiny kestrel]

Nobody said you did. We’re talking about those who might

[acoustic cedar]

Oh

I see

Apologies

[tiny kestrel]

Dw you’re good

[fast ridge]

the unfortunate thing is that there are going to be people who decide they want to be absolute shits to others

[acoustic cedar]

The nature of humans sadly

[sturdy marten]

Best lake for Beceite anyone

[tiny kestrel]

The one next to the huge cliff

I forgor it’s name

[glossy cove]

I think I'm just gonna leave for awhile

[tiny kestrel]

We lost another trooper

Godspeed Jonny

[fickle coral]

Another day another dead red deer😮‍💨

[tiny kestrel]

It is once again moose time

Hopefully my luck pulls through and I spawn an albino or a mela

[rain wagon]

Anyone got a Hirshfelden re deer map

[radiant elm]

legit the first map

bro look in cotw general pc please

[terse wyvern]

"There's is a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate" -Tom macdonald

Do what you want in the game as long as it's legal, sometimes you gotta look past haters

I just realized it's my brother's birthday today, he had school thats tuff

So glad I'm not in school anymore

[half harbor]

lions are insanely easy to grind

[tiny kestrel]

Is it on your own map?

[acoustic cedar]

Don’t open your map if you don’t want people to shoot things just fyi

Things will be killed

Including trophies

[terse wyvern]

Oooo imagine GO fur types based off rocks 🪨

Or metals

[acoustic cedar]

Shiny GO

that would be epic for a bird species

[terse wyvern]

Gemstones 👀

[acoustic cedar]

Yesss

[terse wyvern]

I know its probably not realistic but imagine a fabled sapphire or amethyst

Even if that doesn't ever happen the rock colors are still a great option

Could do like marble, a mix of white and gray spots

Dang this just makes me wanna start doing art again

[acoustic cedar]

Imagine that for a teal GO

[terse wyvern]

Black ice 🧊 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[tiny kestrel]

👹

I actually have 1 or 2 black ice skins

[terse wyvern]

Lmao at least someone got that reference

I have a few

[tiny kestrel]

I think one for the G36. I can’t remember I haven’t played R6 in like 3-4 years

[acoustic cedar]

I’ll be going for Orion when this grind is over

[terse wyvern]

I don't know my total but I know I have L8, smg 11, smokes shotgun I don't remember what it's called, Pmm and fuzes lmg

[acoustic cedar]

I dig cod so much and I never thought I would

[terse wyvern]

The new Mw isn't as good as it should be

[tiny kestrel]

I still haven’t bought MW2 lol

I’m waiting for a sale

[acoustic cedar]

I love it

I got hooked by a friend

Ghost 🖤

That’s all I got to say

[terse wyvern]

I think the masterpiece of today was the first Mw they remade

I don't remember what it's called, think it's just mw lmao

[tiny kestrel]

It’s a shame they cut ties with Ghost’s MW2019 VA. He has my favourite voice out of any character

[tiny kestrel]

CoD4? Or the 2019 MW?

[terse wyvern]

2019

[acoustic cedar]

His voice in this game is…chefs kiss imo lol

[terse wyvern]

Fr

[tiny kestrel]

I prefer the MW2019 VA

His voice is so… gruff

I love it

[terse wyvern]

Captain price is always great too

[acoustic cedar]

Goes without saying

[terse wyvern]

Such a well made series

[tiny kestrel]

I prefer Ghost to Price but they’re equally as badass

Hell, all the cast from Modern Warfare go hard asf

[terse wyvern]

Damn shepherd

That's like the main thing mw always reminds me of and I'm like damn

[tiny kestrel]

I switched from Saseka to Spring Creek Manor I couldn’t resist after going through it

Gotta say, I love how comfy it feels

[acoustic cedar]

It’s such a nice lodge

I want a big spring creek so bad

[tiny kestrel]

I just wish it was bigger 😭

[terse wyvern]

Fr

[acoustic cedar]

Gimme a spring creek twice the size of saseka

[terse wyvern]

This👆👆

You know is sad tho black ice isn't rare anymore in seige

Just buy the pass they have and you basically get served black ice breakfast, lunch, dinner and don't forget dessert, it makes me big sad

[tiny kestrel]

Sadge

Bro got the brown hybrid treatment 💔

[terse wyvern]

You have no idea how painful it is to see someone have all the black ices in the game and barely played a month

[tiny kestrel]

I need a rare coyote I think I’m about to burst a blood vessel

[terse wyvern]

Have more than me and I have been playing sense the game came out

[tiny kestrel]

Tbh I might just casually hunt on Layton I haven’t done that in a while

Hopefully I find a rare coyote

I passed up a gold piebald one so my friend could have it

[terse wyvern]

Yeah I have given a few things to my friend that I regret

Albino turkey that I didn't know was albino

[acoustic cedar]

Flexes my albino and mela mount with an albino rabbit

One of my few flexes

[tiny kestrel]

👹👹👹

[acoustic cedar]

Lolll

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve got a max weight piebald moose and 2 SR stags

Get bent

Oh and a moose great one 👹

Wtf I just spotted a lvl 3 turkey

Finally decided to take a peak at my moose on Layton and have already found 2 diamond potential males

Would be funny if I found an initial spawn GO

[acoustic cedar]

Leave me alone this is a personal attack

My medved seems off idk why

[tiny kestrel]

In what way exactly?

[lofty plume]

Medved has been an ok grind. I’m only 950 in on it though.

The moose seem like they don’t come to there zones a lot though. I keep rotating, and then bam they are there.

[tiny kestrel]

I need to get that 2nd moose GO eventually

How’d you up and get three so damn quick

[lofty plume]

Blessed by RNJesus

[acoustic cedar]

Seems to have few males

[lofty plume]

Had 3 in 690 kills on NEM. 950 I’m on medved with nothing yet.

[acoustic cedar]

Maybe I’ll go to NEM

[tiny kestrel]

Need myself that kinda luck

I need to bring out the Fabled Dino. Maybe then I’ll have some luck

[acoustic cedar]

I have acquired the 300

At lvl 21

Life will be better now

[lofty plume]

NEM is such a beautiful map tbh. And the river hunting is nice. It’s definitely a nice break from just tent hopping.

[tiny kestrel]

Problem is it appears to have disappeared

[acoustic cedar]

Hmmmm

Yeah there’s a distinct lack of bulls I feel

Or moose in general

[tiny kestrel]

I mean I dont know

[lofty plume]

Yeah, I’m not sure if it’s just moose or not. I haven’t shot anything else since the update. Other than a random thing here or there.

[tiny kestrel]

I manage between 25-35 moose per run

It’s not that bad

[lofty plume]

I have one really fun zone on medved, its 2 herds. Can manage 4 bulls in one hop there.

[acoustic cedar]

It just feels different to my previous save

That’s all

New England did a bit too

I’ve barely done any there tho

I missed my 300

[acoustic cedar]

Gosh the 300 is a beast

You don’t half appreciate it when you had to go without it

[tiny kestrel]

I miss the legacy blacktail rack

TruRACS blacktail aren’t nearly as impressive

[acoustic cedar]

I wish they’d redo blacktail

Models and tru racs

[tiny kestrel]

Blacktail, roosevelt and axis deer all need touch ups or even complete remodels

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah agree

[tiny kestrel]

I wanna try and find a rare coyote but at the same time I wanna grind moose but also play a horror game

[acoustic cedar]

Relatable

[tiny kestrel]

I’m gonna do a quick check on coyotes then hop into my lodge

I dont know what I’m gonna do after that

[regal ledge]

AI, Why remodel just the Roosevelt Elk and not the other one? Are they not just different color skins?

[raven rose]

This is what happens to me too everytime. I can go literally like 5+ runs without some zones having any moose, then randomly out of nowhere there can be like a big herd.

[regal ledge]

The Rocky Mountain Elk.

[tiny kestrel]

Rocky Mountain elk and Roosevelt elk look extremely different

Entirely different models, different weights, different scoring, RME have generally wider and thinner racks than Roosevelt elk, fur types are also extremely different

Roosevelt elk and RME respectively

[terse wyvern]

Yeah Rosie's tend to have bigger body's, and rockies have bigger antlers

[regal ledge]

🤔
yeah I see it now. Yeah maybe RoosElk are due for some maintenance. Wouldn't mind some more qol first tho.

[terse wyvern]

Yeah, it's a game so it's not perfect but that's the irl difference between the 2

[regal ledge]

No but Ad Infinitum wanted a remodel.

For Roosevelt.

[abstract atlas]

i have never been trolled so hard

what is this

[terse wyvern]

Yeah I think its overdue at least make them look more like moose for example with there fur

The antlers will never be perfect

[regal ledge]

I'd rather have qol and stability tbh

[terse wyvern]

Well yeah but you look at the Nem update and they had no reason include whitetail remaster but they did

[regal ledge]

Granite update was premium ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[terse wyvern]

If they are remastering a few per update then it should be an addition

And no one should complain about it

[regal ledge]

Complain, about the addition?

[terse wyvern]

Yea the remastering

[regal ledge]

I don't think anyone'sdone that tbh

[terse wyvern]

No complaints about extra love to old species that deserves it

If its anything like Tru racks they will remaster a few every update

[tiny kestrel]

Just call me Oli lol

And nothing’s stopping them from doing a remodel alongside other fixes and changes in an update

They’ve done it plenty of times before so they could absolutely do it again

[regal ledge]

Yeah and with the production pipeline they have set up, they probably have dedicated designers responsibble for remodeling/tweaking this kind of stuff, so it's not like they can just reroute those people to QOL I guess 🤔

[pliant oak]

hows the grinding going ?

[static epoch]

3176 red deer in and still no GO

so you tell me

[pliant oak]

you picking up or not ?

[static epoch]

yea

[pliant oak]

all kills or some

[static epoch]

all

[pliant oak]

what are you doing herd management or not

[static epoch]

hm

[pliant oak]

must be a bit unlucky stick at it

[static epoch]

a bit XD

[pliant oak]

ive done a few grinds like that and got nothing

[static epoch]

well i did get GO moose in like 400 kills in

[pliant oak]

but normally with hm you get one within 2000 kills

[static epoch]

imma do it untill 4k kills then just stop for some time

@pliant oak want to go duck hunting maybe?

[pliant oak]

busy busy at the moment two new videos to do also computer shizzle

[static epoch]

all g all g

[rain wagon]

Max level for roe deer?

[static epoch]

i think 4-5

[ashen depot]

3

[regal ledge]

Roe Deer 3 Very Easy 35 KG

[rain wagon]

Thank you guys

[ashen depot]

If you are on lbs in cotw roe deer is 77 is max

[woven bolt]

I just got my number 4! second one with a fur typ wooooooooooooooooooooo! ❤️

[static epoch]

damn good job

[dry ravine]

Seems like everyone is hunting these things on medved. Was Yukon a bad choice for me?

[static epoch]

no yukon is not a bad choice

its just about getting lucky

[dry ravine]

The grinding is starting to work, had a couple diamonds spawn already, there are just so many drink zones.

[static epoch]

wish u luck

[dry ravine]

Thanks

[abstract atlas]

how the f- people getting 4th GOs moose

i just dont get it

[serene basin]

Fax I still need my 1st

[woven bolt]

keep at it, it will happen eventually

[grand field]

well, my moose respawns on Medved have slowed to a crawl and many of my interior zones have dried up of bulls. Only cows left. Any way to stimulate respawns or is my map dead?

[rigid forge]

Okay mr 10 great one red deer

[tiny kestrel]

That’s what I’m wondering

[abstract atlas]

but 32,000 red deer bro

thats a difference 🤓

[rough ocean]

MAN WTF I CANT EVEN GEG MY FIRST

[north nova]

Wait are you saying you HAVENT sold your soul to the devil himself over moose, yet?

[abstract atlas]

i will never

[north nova]

You gotta get one in every color LC!!

[pliant oak]

actually grinding for first time in three days

lets see what we get today

[north nova]

Best of luck, Ron!

[rigid forge]

You’ve already sold it to the red deer devil

[rigid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-shia-la-beouf-flame-gif-4445204

[north nova]

Not just the Cervidae Devil?

Man's also has a handful of WT GO

[rigid forge]

@abstract atlas u need rare lynx collection btw

[north nova]

Start with dia blue, end with dia mela

[rigid forge]

lynx don’t have blue

[north nova]

pls grant me this

I lumped bobs with them

None grace on my behalf but tbh, just do both.

Go from bobs right through to lynx, it makes perfect sense -

Start "slow" and then truly ramp up the madness

Also, when lynx inevitably get their GO - are you gonna have a red map, Cash?

[rigid forge]

No

Because lynx will have gone extinct

Lmao

@north nova btw you have diamonds of either kitty yet?

[north nova]

Nah, I've been on an awful hiatus

The urge to play is there

The fact that the laptop gets too hot to burn my fingers is miserable

When I'm back in Europe (and have the laptop fan) I can begin again

And eventually looking to have a computer in the next year, if husband's plan comes up

[north nova]

This is fair

[fast ridge]

yeah I've been on hiatus too. Fixating too hard on another game (which is an absolute B E A S T in terms of how much storage it takes up...)

[static epoch]

gib some GO xd

[simple kestrel]

I’ve currently got 10 tents down in med ved as I don’t have many good drink zones but most moose aren’t showing up

Just a select few from each zone, anyone know what is happening?

[terse wyvern]

That's just how moose are, they show up late to there zones, you can exit to main menu and rejoin to get them sometimes to show up, or time change around 15:00

[simple kestrel]

Alright thank you

I have 2 major zones that I want to use atm and they are the only ones spawning

[terse wyvern]

It's sucks but they just really late

[simple kestrel]

Yeah

[rough ocean]

that’s why i quit the GO moose grind and went for red deer

[terse wyvern]

But I would do another run through of your map again at the later hours of there drink time

[rough ocean]

cause red deer spawn way better

[terse wyvern]

You might see more zones at 15

Red deer are extremely easy

[simple kestrel]

Deer are quite easy in general

[terse wyvern]

You would be suprised whitetail are pretty bad

[simple kestrel]

I’ve gotten quite lucky with my white tail

On NEM I have many potential diamonds

[terse wyvern]

I started grinding them again and I don't remember them being as much of a pain but they like to show up late too

[simple kestrel]

They also tend to be too close for comfort too

Well NEM river is quite tight

North river

[terse wyvern]

Yeah it's an interesting map but I been grinding Layton which is alot better

[pliant oak]

the best rivers are the wider ones

best not to waste time on the ones with no width

right and top rivers are what i grind

[simple kestrel]

I fucked up my NEM map

Kept killing females on accident

And one on purpose

Which was the albino

[terse wyvern]

About to be 200 kills in my grind

[simple kestrel]

248-302

I hope this is a good one

256 😭

[terse wyvern]

That's tuff

Yeah they troll very often unfortunately

[pliant oak]

doesnt matter if you kill females

sometimes you will also get a few more males doing so

i often will kill some to remove hunting pressure in areas i want to hunt

[terse wyvern]

I always just shoot everything in sight with no remorse as to how this might effect the wildlife in the future

Tripods are a very easy way to pressure manage too tho

Or any stand or blind these days

[simple kestrel]

I currently have a really small lake that I don’t want to hunt in and it consists of a guaranteed diamond, what should I do?

Also I’m stacking

Need help quick

[sharp tulip]

You can kill them and stack some more on lakes you like.

[simple kestrel]

Alright thank you

[rough ocean]

is there a way to count carrer kills on an animal?

@pliant oak is it good im seeing frequent 9's spawning for my red deer?

[pliant oak]

[raven rose]

30th diamond of the red deer grind

Great one... any day now...

[iron sonnet]

so many trolls

like in my last 2 runs i have gotten them 2

btw how many zones should i have

[raven rose]

I have got 19 trolls so far, 4400 kills in.

[acoustic shore]

on average u wanna kill around 10 deer a hour with enough zones to fund each hour session

[iron sonnet]

i kill like

[raven rose]

10 an hour is so little for red deer.

[iron sonnet]

10 a run

[acoustic shore]

i do white tail on layton

[iron sonnet]

im on ps4

and like

i cant kill more than like 3 a zone

[tiny kestrel]

I managed around 50-70 stags per hour in my red deer grind. Anywhere between 25-35 stags per run

[iron sonnet]

i probably actually kill like 20 a run

[acoustic shore]

seems the average player none the less kills 5 - 10 a hour i ususally kill 12 but it is what it is more need zones the merrier

[tiny kestrel]

5-10 per hour? 💀💀💀

You should be getting atleast 20 per run

[acoustic shore]

red deer very weel are prob diff i havent hunted em much

[iron sonnet]

i will tell u how many zones i have

im on te

[acoustic shore]

thats what alot of people say on reddit lol

[iron sonnet]

on reddit

[tiny kestrel]

Then clearly they’re doing something wrong

[iron sonnet]

y you talking if ur info is found on reddit

[acoustic shore]

i knock 12 easy a hour like clockwork

[tiny kestrel]

What are you grinding again?

[iron sonnet]

you should be talking from ur game knowledge

red

[iron sonnet]

red deer

[tiny kestrel]

I figured. I was asking the other fellow cuz there’s very few animals you could grind where 12 an hour is considered extremely good

[acoustic shore]

i thought it was white tail zoned out or read wrong either way is 12 deer a hour for white tail good?

[sturdy marten]

Bro I had 8 fallow zones on my grind and I was getting 20 per run

5-10 per hour is crazy

The deer are running away from you

[iron sonnet]

43

zones i think

45

45 is the number cuz i forgot 2 at bottom lake

[tiny kestrel]

I grinded whitetail on Layton and managed around 20-25 a run bro

How many zones are you set up on?

[acoustic shore]

i could get more i guess i just need to put blinds down im just restricted usually bc hunting pressure and a little bc distance in between ill work on it for sure then

[iron sonnet]

22

about

[acoustic shore]

i got 8 tents and use the houses, ill move stuff around and aim for 20

[iron sonnet]

probably taking into spook around 15

all are herd management except the 22 i hunt

thats you!??!

damnit

my zones are dissapearing again

[sturdy marten]

Oh damn

[iron sonnet]

my herd management ones

[sturdy marten]

273 max wt

[iron sonnet]

they jsut disapear

[sturdy marten]

Might troll

It is what it is

[iron sonnet]

i have 45 zones and setup 22

[wooden junco]

I was 20 to 25 reds on TA the other day but my 1st run today sucked I got 14 lol. I did skip a few zones as there was 1 level 6 or level 5 on the other side of a lake that I couldnt be bothered to shoot and fetch.

[full cave]

248

Half a kg off from making diamond

[dry ravine]

So for this herd management stuff, I have a level 5 moose that I’m almost positive is a troll, max score 276 uneven rack, take it or leave it? Any advice?

[sturdy marten]

I think it’s more the idea of keeping the level 5s than keeping the diamonds

so I say keep it

[dry ravine]

By that logic I should shoot the 2 level 4 that have potential to make diamond? Max score 289 for both

[sturdy marten]

I mean yeah you should shoot it

level 3 and up I believe

[dry ravine]

Ok. Thanks for the info.

[tiny kestrel]

No it actually is keeping diamonds

That’s why you see people stacking lvl 4 moose and lvl 2 whitetail with good chances of making it

[half harbor]

does stacking diamonds even do anything??

[dry ravine]

Going back to the first question then. Shoot the level 5 I’m almost certain is a troll or no?

[tiny kestrel]

It causes your other animals to respawn lower. It helps at the beginning of a grind to maximize the number of low level animals which in turn will help drive up the size of subsequent males. After that, stacking is pointless

[wooden junco]

I been getting to about 10 lev 9s and wiping the slate again.

[half harbor]

[acoustic cedar]

I dunno how long I can keep on moosin’ Cash 😭

[restive notch]

It helps if you try and not think about it

But it’s almost impossible when you’re that far into it
