🦌︴great-ones

[full cave]

I don't see any difference

any map moose attack me

[tardy stream]

Not showing up to zones till around 1hr - 30 mins before the end of my zones end

[gritty tendon]

think they might mean respawns

[full cave]

I might try to get a rare or diamond bobwhite before I get a go moose

[full cave]

Ah

That

Is annoying

[tardy stream]

They are a bit awkward, some times they work sometimes the don't lol

[full cave]

That's how my pheasant grind was going sometimes they work and sometimes they dont

[gritty tendon]

my respawns were already good on medved thankfully

[thorny scroll]

Well thank all y’all this greatly helps

[gritty tendon]

i actually cut down on zones toward the end of the grind to make things more efficient and i was getting anywhere from around 60-80 moose an hour if i could get all of them

[tardy stream]

Np

[thorny scroll]

I was leaning towards medved that way if I decided to do a whitetail grind I could do it on rev since people say it’s the best for WT

[spark drift]

nice one what he score?

[tardy stream]

Sorry i forgot to post it

[spark drift]

really nice one!

[tardy stream]

Thxs

[mossy orchid]

I want to play cotw but at the same time im very burnt out on it

its a weird paradox

[fast ridge]

That's a mood

[crude spindle]

Happens to all of us

[stray ivy]

hope big boyyyyy
260-301

[tardy stream]

Mhm

[stray ivy]

263🤡

[tardy stream]

Not to bad

[tardy stream]

Just hit 3k kills on Fallow

[tardy stream]

Probs not going to make it

[plain raptor]

He’s going to barely make it

251

Totally guessing here but I hope he makes it for you

[tardy stream]

Thanks, i don't really mind ngl i have enough lol

I think i may of fucked it unsure

@plain raptor U was correct lol

[plain raptor]

you hit everything except a vital

[tardy stream]

Mhm

Oh well, its like my 20th so

[plain raptor]

I’m so sad

[tardy stream]

Why?

[plain raptor]

He would have been a diamond

[tardy stream]

Well yer, im sad as I was hoping to get my g1 before 3k and im at 3,012 kills

[plain raptor]

perhaps he would have came had you not ruined that diamond

Now we’ll never know

🏃‍♀️

[tardy stream]

Lol

Thing is I aint hming so

[plain raptor]

Has nothing to do with HM

[tardy stream]

Ik,

[plain raptor]

That diamond could have been your good luck key but you had to shoot him in the coccyx

[tardy stream]

He fleed and i couldn't be bothered ngl

[plain raptor]

That feels like a dirty word

Your worst mistake

[tardy stream]

Lol

[tardy stream]

It could of been a mela or any rare.

[plain raptor]

Don’t say such a thing to me

[tardy stream]

Redemption?

[tardy stream]

^

[plain raptor]

Oof

He’s not going to make it

He’s gonna be 243

👀

[tardy stream]

Probsd

[tardy stream]

Smaller

smol

[plain raptor]

😔

[tardy stream]

Redemption?

#2

Dime #3 or 4 of the day

[plain raptor]

What the hell

Stop being so lucky

[tardy stream]

Thing is yer, i get loads of dimes, then 1 rare then its like 500 kills with nothing

[tardy stream]

Troll, but i fucked it. @plain raptor

[crude spindle]

@tardy stream hm or just insane luck?

[tardy stream]

Insane luck, i usually get around 5-10 per 1k kills an most of them are trolls anyway, and then it usually ends with a rare but no g1.

I was going to do hm but decided to not do i

it*

[crude spindle]

Wow

And your grind is getting up there in numbers too right?

[tardy stream]

Mhm, 8 rares (2 melas, 6 pies), 39 dimes/lvl5 (most are trolls), 3054 kills

All i need now is a albino and a g1.

and idrc what fur or rack lol

[crude spindle]

Damn I thought you were higher than me

For 3k that’s insane

[tardy stream]

Yer, i think its a bit more then 3054 but idk

[crude spindle]

My estimate is off too lol

It’s either early or late 4000s

[tardy stream]

Lol, yer mines not 100% accurate ik that for a fact.

[crude spindle]

I only started counting through the codex

And that was after the heaviest weeks of grinding

[tardy stream]

Lol

I have a counter app

[tardy stream]

Luck continues

@plain raptor It continues

[plain raptor]

Dude wtf

Give me some of that sweet, sweet RNG

[crude spindle]

It’s actually kinda unlucky if great ones work the way we theorize

[tardy stream]

I've been grinding since 3pm BSt, its 20 to eleven...

Almost at 3.1k

Need ur guys hope I get a g1 this run

[pure turtle]

Bro just hit 7000 kills no great one I gotta have the worst luck

[crude spindle]

That’s painful to read

[pure turtle]

Yup kill me

[tardy stream]

Thats unlucky

[raven rose]

I know how it feels

We will get one eventually tho

[pure turtle]

I'm not losing hope just wanna get it done so I can stop it's getting seriously tedious

[tardy stream]

My moose grind and BB grind were both at around 4k kills before the update with BB and then moose gave up spawning

[raven rose]

I have the exact same mindset

I just want to get this done

[pure turtle]

Sound about right for moose I've killed about 1.6k maybe since their GO released

[tardy stream]

Yer, medved is good ofr them but my spawns are shit

Just hit 3.1k kills

[full cave]

i just spawned my 4th g1, big rack mocha, 5 in the same zone

37 kills

[tardy stream]

Ur lucky lol

[crude spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-stare-sesame-street-rocco-death-stare-gif-24438342

[tardy stream]

Lol

[crude spindle]

how I feel when I see a low kill count g1 now

still cool tho

hope we get a screen shot I like the big rack mochas

[full cave]

not really,

i’m just getting paid for my bad luck previous

[tardy stream]

Or that

[crude spindle]

No previous bad luck if you had 4 before this one 💀

[tardy stream]

Lol

Well im going to bed, ending tonight of with 8 rares, 40 lvl5's/dimes, 3119 kills

[full cave]

i also lied

he’s a golden

[gusty spade]

10mins on map and i get trolled

[gusty spade]

And now this guy

[pearl birch]

OMG

LETS GOOO SR #2 IN 3.8K KILLS!!!!!

[terse wyvern]

Hopefully my 2nd comes soon I'm about to hit 2.7k

Which is crazy cause I was at 2.2k this morning, which means I have done about 500 fallow today

[full cave]

about to kill g1 4…

every fallow is in the zone but him

done several game resets time resets

[tacit dawn]

lol that usually happens

on the other hand this go bear grind is very boring 🥱

almost 1400 in and haven’t seen a diamond in like 600 kills

[terse wyvern]

That happened to me too

Almost twice, but I got one today

[full cave]

all my zones have changed and i’m seeing deer i don’t remember. i had a g1 on my map and i can’t find him

it’s like i had a pop reset or something

[warm flax]

Kill #223 was the first our

Pie

[warm flax]

A

[crude spindle]

Bro

I need to start herd managing

Fuck me

This is ridiculous

I’m very happy for you tho

Was rooting for you fr

[warm flax]

Kill 231

[crude spindle]

Amazing luck

[warm flax]

That makes my day better

[terse wyvern]

Noice dude

[warm flax]

Was having a rough day but that helps

[warm flax]

Thanks!

[crude spindle]

I don’t even think 200 is enough to have proper herd management take effect

[warm flax]

I’m glad no one was sleeping yet lol

I bet the neighbors heard me when I saw it lol

[plain surge]

I’m sorta on a GO grind but I managed to wipe out an entire fallow herd due to them getting stuck in the water around the river on te awaroa that cuts through the middle of the map

[vagrant kraken]

Oh my

[plain surge]

But again I do not personally do intense grinds since I don’t have the patience for that so I just shoot what ever I see (mostly if they’re males) but the does were a good bonus cash added in there

[vagrant kraken]

And bro took what they said personal

[warm flax]

He has personal beef with red deer

[plain surge]

I mean I wiped out two banteng herds on EC and those are fallow not red deer

[warm flax]

Idk what to grind next

[full cave]

I have personal beef with half the animals in this game

why did my whole fallow population change when i got a g1 on my map

[crude spindle]

Are you on console?

[full cave]

yes

[crude spindle]

Did you have a save corruption or something?

[full cave]

no

i have zones with herds that have never had a herd

just solos

and vice versa

it’s like i got a population reset

[warm flax]

I’m gonna pain myself and do bears

[sick cypress]

I had that happen too. Appearantly u can cross the river there, didnt know that

[pearl birch]

HOODED BLADE RACK OMG

[terse wyvern]

Noice

[crude spindle]

Looks awesome

[pearl birch]

sr and g1 in same day!!!!

[full cave]

Congrats

[terse wyvern]

I think my SR is on vacation

[full cave]

Same

Also the go

Because clearly it's not here

[terse wyvern]

Yeah, I did 500 today and can't remember what grass looks like at this point

[full cave]

I might hop back on the go grind the pheasant grind is slowing down alot

[acoustic cedar]

I’m just here to say I’m once again in an abusive relationship with moose hunting in this game

I hate them

I really, really hate them

[terse wyvern]

Lmao

Yikes

[acoustic cedar]

But they have my favourite great ones

[terse wyvern]

Fr

Moose and BB both hard to grind

[acoustic cedar]

I spent like 90% of tonight on moose and like 10% on bear and I think bear were less painful

[full cave]

I'm scared to grind them

[acoustic cedar]

They just suck

[pearl birch]

im 3.5k in and no great one hoping i can get my moose i grind fallow to take my mind of it lol

[terse wyvern]

Moose is alot easier than BB tbh

[acoustic cedar]

They’re inconsistent af and tough as tanks for no reason

[terse wyvern]

But they both very tough

[acoustic cedar]

Bro I literally watched some moose turn up to a zone at 15:33pm

27 minutes of drink time remained

[terse wyvern]

That's basically what mine do

[acoustic cedar]

That’s just not ok

[terse wyvern]

Mine also like to disappear and drink in the trees

[acoustic cedar]

I did get a couple diamonds tonight in fairness but still

They suck

[full cave]

I am not mentally prepared for a moose go grind

But I'll try

[terse wyvern]

Med is also a super bland map tbh when it comes to scenery

[full cave]

I wanna try Yukon for my go grind

[terse wyvern]

I think I wanna do that next as well

Probably try for wt or BB first

[full cave]

First I'ma try to get a diamond bobwhite diamond pheasant and go fallow first

Wait

There's fields at the bottom of the map I haven't checked or been to

I swear

[crude spindle]

Bro is pheasant obsessed

[full cave]

I am

At this point it's a war

But Im going back to the go fallow grind after this

[warm flax]

I believe in you

[full cave]

Thank you

Ive shot over 112 pheasants

Idk why its taking so long

[warm flax]

Pheasant are weird

[full cave]

They are

I'm starting to just get female only zones

It's getting irritating

My first pheasant grind took me like 36 kills

[warm flax]

That’s how my fallow zones were

And then this mf g1 appeared

[pearl birch]

love this multi mount

[full cave]

Ooh pretty

[warm flax]

If I can get a g1 in under 300 you will get the pheasant soon

[full cave]

Hopefully thank you for the support

I'd even settle for a rare male

[warm flax]

I wanted a mela before my grind ended but I didn’t

Got everything but a mela

[full cave]

I like the leusistic males

I want one

[warm flax]

I don’t think there’s another rare after Albino and pie for fallows

There’s a sick lightning storm outside my window

[full cave]

Mela fallows

Mela pie and albino

I'm just checking fields and locations I haven't been to

But there's only roe deer

[pearl birch]

my luck is insane with fallow all in 4k

[full cave]

How-

8 go ones

[pearl birch]

6 spoons 1 blade 1 irish 2 srs

[warm flax]

I wanted painted fallow so bad

But I got golden

[terse wyvern]

That's just not fare

[full cave]

I keep finding 1-2 kg pheasants

That's all I see

[warm flax]

I went 100 kills without a diamond then a great one spawned

[terse wyvern]

Same

I just want an SR or a second GO

[warm flax]

I got a pie then 10 kills later he spawned

Now I gotta get the motivation to do either bears or whitetail

[worthy junco]

bro chill lol

[full cave]

Do pheasants still respawn if you shoot them grounded?

[terse wyvern]

Yeah they should

[warm flax]

My fate will be chose by you guys Black Bears on SRP or whitetail on Layton

[full cave]

good to know

[terse wyvern]

I'm probably doing BB because I just dislike wt

[full cave]

I dislike most of the wt go racs

There's only 1 I kinda like

[warm flax]

Yeah whitetail looks boring imo

[terse wyvern]

I like the racks just not the species

[full cave]

Plus with the lack of fur types wt feel bland

[terse wyvern]

I also have terrible luck with them

[full cave]

I have terrible luck with everything

[warm flax]

BB it is then

[full cave]

Gl

[warm flax]

Does anyone have any pictures of their fur type

[full cave]

I have one

Picture

Lemme find the others

[terse wyvern]

If you scroll down I little ways in pinned messages they all there

[full cave]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

[warm flax]

Spotted looks so cool

To bad this game doesn’t like giving my fur types I want

[full cave]

The space bear

[terse wyvern]

Fr that's the one I want

[vocal ether]

Fabled cream and fabled spotted on top

[full cave]

Fabled spirit and fabled cream are my favs

[warm flax]

Cream looks like Starbucks coffee

I want spotted or glacier

[full cave]

Delicious

[warm flax]

I kinda wish I had the safari map because this starting one really only gives you small stands

So what are the rare furs for the normal bb

[vocal ether]

Cinnamon, blonde, brown

[full cave]

I never realized cinnamons were rare

Until like 3 months later

I shot a mythical cinnamon

Never mounted it

[warm flax]

I’m guessing diamond bb is legendary

[terse wyvern]

Indeed

[vocal ether]

When was that?

[full cave]

Like a while ago when the go black bear was pretty new

[vocal ether]

Oh damn so it was rare then

That's unfortunate

The rare bb look so good

[warm flax]

I’m gonna miss my one shot drop fallows

[full cave]

I didn't know that

At the time

[terse wyvern]

I'm glad I taxied my white rock Ptarmigan, Rev had just come out and I didn't know it was rare it just looked cool

[full cave]

Idk all the rares on rev

[warm flax]

White RPs look cute

[full cave]

But ngl my best rev trophy is this guy

He is my prized possession

[terse wyvern]

I also gave my friend a leu caper Callie and I deeply regret it

[full cave]

Oof

[terse wyvern]

Cause now him and I ain't friends no more

[full cave]

Is there a mtm for raccoon dogs?

[warm flax]

I completely forgot about the coons on Mississippi

[crude spindle]

well that's a first

[terse wyvern]

Damn

[warm flax]

Someone was excited

[full cave]

Huh-

[terse wyvern]

Bro let his intrusive thoughts win fr

[full cave]

Yep

[crude spindle]

I went to pick it up and I had a double take

[warm flax]

What’s that mean

[crude spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-confused-blinking-okay-white-guy-blinking-gif-7513882

[full cave]

hm a max weight roe deer track

interesting

[unkempt parcel]

in 9 months

[crude spindle]

The way this grind is goin…

[full cave]

Aren't they both bucks

How would that work

[full cave]

2 years added on

[crude spindle]

😦

[terse wyvern]

I don't think that's how that works.....

[crude spindle]

Canonically there are no baby animals in cotw

If you shoot 100,000 mallards doc teaches you the secrets of summoning pixel animals on Layton

Little known fact ^

[tiny kestrel]

Fun fact
If you shoot 100,000 mallards in real life there will be no more mallards

[terse wyvern]

Lmao let's get to shootin!

[crude spindle]

But biodiversity is Pog Kyle

[terse wyvern]

But imagine the profit 📈
💀

[tiny kestrel]

Fun fact if you shoot a the mallard he will die :(

[terse wyvern]

I feel like the world did not intend for us to eat every species on the planet

[crude spindle]

That’s why poisonous animals exist

[terse wyvern]

True

[crude spindle]

welp there it is. Spike #4. The last conceivable trophy I would want besides the great one

honestly thought I wouldn't get one in white

very happy to end the night with this

[gritty tendon]

starting fallow grind #3 to finish out the huddle

debating if i should keep the hm or go without hm for extra kills per hour

[crude spindle]

If it ain’t broke

[gritty tendon]

that's what i was thinking

but extra kills are always nice

[iron cloud]

8k in

Had to take a break due to dry grind

[crude spindle]

Seeing people hit 8k and knowing myself getting up there in numbers too really sucks

Like I know great ones are random

But it honestly sucks putting in all this time and knowing that I’m technically not making any deterministic progress

And then I feel punished not using herd management

[iron cloud]

Seeing people get 500 kill grinds makes me wonder if I'm somehow doing it wrong

[crude spindle]

And even tho jaxy and the team say it’s not cheating or anything, not knowing if it would boost my odds or not is driving me crazy

[crude spindle]

Same. I literally think I have them on the map and just can’t see. It’s awful

[rotund obsidian]

Barley the thing with RNG is that you could put the effort into doing HM and just RNG a GO 10 kills in.

[crude spindle]

That’s not exactly how that works

Saeva did hm and took 5000 kills to get their first

[rotund obsidian]

Not due to HM but due to RNG.

[crude spindle]

I mean yeah but by that logic I could do the same thing and get in ten kills

[rotund obsidian]

I mean if there is people doing HM and taking 5K kills and people who aren't doing HM and getting 5K kills, surely it doesn't matter?

[crude spindle]

No, it doesn’t. That’s less of the point of what I was saying

It’s shitty going this long and not having any results

Regardless of method

[rotund obsidian]

I am around 5K-6K in and no GO. I am not HM. It is rough.

[crude spindle]

Yeah you feel my pain

[iron cloud]

I'm HM and 8k

[crude spindle]

With no g1? And consistent diamond spawns?

[iron cloud]

Consistent daimonds yes

[crude spindle]

Look all I’m saying is that I’d feel a lot better about all of this if it was halfway between filling a bar, and dumb luck

But either end of that spectrum can suck for many reasons

[iron cloud]

I don't keep count anymore but most small rack dimes

[rotund obsidian]

Every run or every 50 kills?

[crude spindle]

Lol I don’t even think I’m getting 5’s every 50

[iron cloud]

Usually 1-2 each run

[rotund obsidian]

How many a run?

[iron cloud]

Either that or like 4 big rack 4s

[crude spindle]

Then that’s hm

It’s working

Still

8,000….

Id say id give up at that number, but the time sunk in alone

[iron cloud]

19 abt w some herds managed down

Solos check wvr

[gritty tendon]

i hate does

[iron cloud]

Fr

[gritty tendon]

always in the damn way

[iron cloud]

Bodyguards aswell

[rotund obsidian]

See I still don't get HM. I get a diamond on my map every 2 runs anyway or big level 4s. Admittedly my runs are 30 per run but I got 25 diamond fallows taxed I don't need anymore?

[gritty tendon]

getting shot when the bullet isn't even near them too

[iron cloud]

Also droughts

[crude spindle]

I don’t even know how many I get per run

That’s probably not helping

My tent setup is ass

No pickup tents lol

[iron cloud]

I don't got allat money for stands

Just tents and 20k

[gritty tendon]

if you don't have pick up tents you really should

[iron cloud]

I do

[crude spindle]

Most zones aren’t hard to get to

There’s only like 1-3 I should probably

[iron cloud]

I got unlucky on the river

No herds on the main part, just solos

[gritty tendon]

i would put them on all that you can if you have the spare money or tents already

[iron cloud]

Exept for the edge part

[gritty tendon]

the only one i don't have a pick up tent on is the 2 lakes

[iron cloud]

Really makes me want to restart game over, grind 1 week for cash and restart grinding

[gritty tendon]

i just use an atv

[crude spindle]

Same

[gritty tendon]

it's hard to have pick up tents on that lake for all the zones

[iron cloud]

I have 3 herds at the two lakes

[gritty tendon]

i have 4

and another zone i shoot that has some bucks that bounce around

so you could say 5 technically

[iron cloud]

@gritty tendon how many herds you got in total?

Cause I lowkey feel likes I'm missing a few

[gritty tendon]

like total zones?

[iron cloud]

Total herds

Like a zone that has females and males

[gritty tendon]

uhh

[iron cloud]

Herd

[gritty tendon]

not sure

i've never counted total herds

wide

let me count them

[iron cloud]

Ty

I have 18

[tardy stream]

Hows everyones grind?

[iron cloud]

Terrible

[tardy stream]

Lol, whats the stats

[iron cloud]

I don't keep count at this point

All ik is 8k and crying

[tardy stream]

Okay thats bad, 3.1k, 8 rares, 40 lvl 5/dimes, around 10-15 of them was yesterday in 6 hours

[fiery pelican]

hit 425 red grind

[tardy stream]

Cool,

[fiery pelican]

i hope my super rare and GO spawn less than 10-15k

[gritty tendon]

@iron cloud somewhere around 23 herds

give or take 1-2

well

[iron cloud]

Sounds like 5 of them are invisible or sum

[gritty tendon]

i should say maybe give 2

i have 23 herd at leasts that i could remember

there might be 1 or 2 more that i thought were solo zones

[iron cloud]

If I get to 15k I'm resetting my acc

[gritty tendon]

rip

hopefully you don't make it that far into a grind

that's rough

[tardy stream]

Its rough but it happens

[gritty tendon]

yeah

maybe they'll get a couple short grinds after

[tardy stream]

I hope I did lol, i had around 4-5k on BB and Moose nothing special and then im now at 3.1k on fallow

I did around 100 on reds before BB was announced

[gritty tendon]

i'm 4.6k into bear without a GO

[tardy stream]

I gave up with bb when the time changed

Moose just wasn't spawning

[crude spindle]

Josh do you have any great ones?

[iron cloud]

I only have red deer gos

[gritty tendon]

i grinded 500 kills recently for bear and am taking a break for another fallow

[tardy stream]

0, as Moose just didn't spawn, and Red I stopped bec of BB, and then I stopped BB because of the drink zone change

[crude spindle]

Damn

Hope fallow comes soon

[tardy stream]

Thing is I didn't sweat grind those 3, whereas im trying my hardest to spawn the fallow

[gritty tendon]

i'm lucky as far as having a decent bear grind

can get around 40-50ish an hour

[tardy stream]

I get around 50-75 FD kills a hour

if all my deer are there

[gritty tendon]

i was getting 60 maybe just a lil over 60 an hour with fallow

but anymore it's 60 or just a lil less than 60

[tardy stream]

People doing hm are getting around 25-50 apparently.

[gritty tendon]

well

hm doesn't really effect how many kills per hour you get

unless you just really grinded your zones down to shit

and only have a few shooter bucks

[tardy stream]

Lady gets around 50 per hour, and i did hear someone say they get around 25-50 ph

[iron cloud]

I'm grinding on cruise control

[gritty tendon]

i'd say anything under 40 per hour for fallow is really not that good

[iron cloud]

That's eh

[tardy stream]

Yer

[gritty tendon]

i think if you were to only get 25 an hour you'd either have to have really bad zones or you just suck at grinding fallow lol

[tardy stream]

and at hm lol

[iron cloud]

I get 57 adverage I beleive

[gritty tendon]

it's not hard to get 40-60 an hour even just casually grinding fallow

[tardy stream]

Yer

[gritty tendon]

i gotta check the coast again

think some of the bucks went there unfortunately

[tardy stream]

Same, i did loose a couple zones due to hunting pressure.

but oh well

[gritty tendon]

i wonder if anyones made it to 80 or upwards of 80 an hour

someone said they were getting like 100-120 an hour while grinding every zone

some bs lie right there lol

[iron cloud]

Maybe

If they don't pick up like any kills

[tardy stream]

Still bs,

[gritty tendon]

i think i remember them saying they picked them up

[tardy stream]

Defo bs

Time for my 500 kill dry spell, then around 5-10 lvl 5's

[gritty tendon]

rip

[iron cloud]

I gave up

Switched to madden

[tardy stream]

That then lvl 5's are usually frickin trolls

[gritty tendon]

i think if i pushed it and killed all my males in my shooting zones i could get around 70-80 kills an hour

let me think about it

[rotund obsidian]

I am a no-pick up, 100 kills an hour hunter. If you don't care where you hit them, you can easily just put a round in them and FT to next tent.

[tardy stream]

Yes but i think as lady said, people who don't pick up then its harder to get a g1, it takes more kills.

[iron cloud]

I did no pick up for red deer and got shorter grinds then adverage I think

Fallow I'm picking all of em up

[rotund obsidian]

The issue that unless we have 1000's of people doing it and reporting accurately, the sample size too small to truly average it out.

[tardy stream]

This is for fallow tho

[rotund obsidian]

Unless Lady did it for like 1000 times or 10,000 then it is just opinion or heresay unless she has looked into the spawning mechanic code from the game files.

[gritty tendon]

yeah i could get around 80 an hour with shooting all my males in my shooter zones

[rotund obsidian]

For everyone who says it takes longer, you can find someone with a story about it being quicker.

[tardy stream]

Yer,

[rotund obsidian]

We have confirmation bias here.

No one is really shouting from the roof tops if their method is average or they gave up the grind.

We only here about the 'miracle' cases or the youtubers.

The GO in 1000 kills etc.

Not the GO in 4000 kills etc.

[fiery pelican]

i was gettin 80-120 per hour

with hm

[tardy stream]

Jeez.

[rotund obsidian]

Plus it's not like the kill screens give us feedback on how it was spawned. "You got this randomly." "You got this from HM" "You got this because the pentosecond at harvest/respawn matched a preset RNG chosen one from your player ID like old school Pokemon"

[gritty tendon]

i want to just start shooting all my males but i fear that it might bright inconsistency

[tardy stream]

I shoot all of mine but I don't get many dimes for a long period of time

[gritty tendon]

you do hm or no?

[tardy stream]

No

[gritty tendon]

seems standard them

i have my coast managed down

[tardy stream]

Was going to but when I do HM it goes really badly, where i loose all my deers

NGl, i haven't check the coast for around 1k kills so

[gritty tendon]

i might manage it down further if i want to start shooting all the males in my shooter zones

[raven rose]

Hm is the reason why I have not lost my sanity with the red deer grind yet.

[gritty tendon]

i haven't done heavy hm

most of mine is just light hm or just shooting the two biggest males in each zone

[raven rose]

Im starting to get pretty deep into hm.

Level 3's will start showing up and I never shoot them even on the zones I grind.

[gritty tendon]

the heaviest hm i did was on reds

and it just kind of happened by itself without me stacking or anything

[raven rose]

My hm is definitely not perfect but I get a lot of diamonds still.

[gritty tendon]

i think i was getting a dime or more at least once every 4 runs or so

sometimes every run sometimes not

[raven rose]

Yeah it's inconsistent

Sometimes I have two per run

Have not seen three yet

[fiery pelican]

i was gettin 5 every 9-10 kills on fallow i want to do it with red too

[tardy stream]

Time to do coast run then map reset

[full cave]

What’s this chat for?

[north nova]

Mostly folks use it to discuss their grinds and the Great Ones in game - or their progress, setting up a run circuit, how best to go about farming the animals etc

[pliant oak]

finally get time for fallow again today lets see what happens good luck all on your grinds

🍀

[pliant oak]

troll number 7

[tardy stream]

GL ron, i will be doing some more later after a bit this morning

[pliant oak]

number 12

[tardy stream]

Nice, im abt to start again.

[full cave]

so i have reinstalled game reset time and game and still have nit found the great one, it’s like i have a whole new population and i don’t know what happened at all

[full cave]

i also had a random female pie on my map that i left and she hasn’t been found either

[tardy stream]

That means theres been a population reset, therefore ever single let say red deer has been changed.

[full cave]

but why would there just be a random pop reset on my map, it doesn’t make sense

[tardy stream]

Well when did u last play before today?

[full cave]

yesterday, that’s when i spawned my g1 and pretty mucheveryday since update

[tardy stream]

Im unsure then, maybe ask in #731056417808711695.

#1 of today

[full cave]

i didn’t kill him bc i was hoping to get pictures and had to leave, turned off my game and everything and when i come back i had completely different herds and solos

[tardy stream]

Ask in the console chat someone may know

dime #1 of today

[frigid bramble]

Now I understand why some people don't like HM, it is a tedious grind which is not hunting, although it is proven effective in hunting very sought after animals

Anyways, got myself a Mela SR in multi, I'll post it sometime later

So the super slam is finally complete

who has a Mela doe red deer

[crude spindle]

I do

[frigid bramble]

Save it, because I need it for the multi mount lmao

[crude spindle]

I keep all my rare females

I love them

[full cave]

so what’s everyone’s fallow grind at

like the stats

[tardy stream]

8 rares ( 2 melas, 6 pies), 3222 kills, 41 lvl5's/dimes

[crude spindle]

4,000 something (close to 5) 18 piebalds, 3 albinos, 1 Mela (Super Troll,) 4 spikes, 0 great ones and like 40 diamonds

[full cave]

nice i’m and 370 8 dimes 5 trolls 3 rares 0 go

hm or no

[tardy stream]

Barley, I feel u with the super troll, i had a troll mela lvl 5, I was annoyed as it was a guaranteed troll

[tardy stream]

no

[full cave]

i’m debating doing it or no

bc i didn’t do it with my red deer and still got 51 lvl 9s

[tardy stream]

Up to you, I was thinking of doing it, its just to much hassel.

[full cave]

and took me 1,800 likes

kills

[crude spindle]

None for me

[crude spindle]

Same

[full cave]

yea i think it better if you doing multiple grinds of the species but otherwise i don’t think it’s worth it

[tardy stream]

Hows everyones grind going, (stats)

[terse wyvern]

2.7k

[crude spindle]

1,000,000

[terse wyvern]

Pushing to 3k today at least

[tardy stream]

GL

[tardy stream]

Defo lol

[pliant oak]

going back in a mo food soon

nice steak

[tardy stream]

Gl Ron.

[pliant oak]

then back to the grind

[full cave]

guess i’m gonna look around my map one more time and start for g1 #4 (5)

[warm flax]

I guess i should set up the bear grind today

[raven rose]

I have not been able to grind today yet but theres some time for it right now finally.

[warm flax]

I’m just waiting for my headache to get better before I go

Does anyone have a picture of the bears vital area

[rose plover]

just got this high scoring medium rack

plus i have these two that will all go in a multi together

i just need a 272+ big rack🤞

also got this guy I have to shoot

[warm flax]

I swear deer spawns get 10x better after you get a g1

[acoustic cedar]

Time to shoot fallow for a few hours

[gusty spade]

day 2 fallow grind 30mins in this gonna be a good day

[rose plover]

smoooked him

[warm flax]

Does HM work for black bears and do I shoot female ones?

[fiery pelican]

is there 272?

i shot 300 dimes and my max is 270

[rose plover]

I would assume so, look at how high my small rack scored… I dont see how it wouldnt be possible to get a really wonky antler on the big rack

[acoustic cedar]

GREAT ONE

WTFFFFF

[rose plover]

lets go mellll

[acoustic cedar]

Golden spoon!!

His estimate is freaking giant

280-288

[rose plover]

noice, how many kills in?

[acoustic cedar]

No idea lol

I’ve been jumping between moose, fallow, bears and whitetail

[rose plover]

well congrats thats awesome

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much!

Guess I’m going for two more now lmao

[warm flax]

Bears are weird

Night hunting 🤢

[crude spindle]

Woah

How many this time @acoustic cedar

Oops didn’t read my bad

[acoustic cedar]

lol it’s ok!

[crude spindle]

That’s awesome tho

Im still on grind 1 o7

[acoustic cedar]

I’m not gonna lie to you I’m going through something really, really rough irl right now and I kinda needed this today

Twin lakes again

After a purge

[rose plover]

sorry mel hope things get better, and glad a g1 could help you!

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you! My lil broken heart is beating fast again right now aha, it definitely helps lol

[crude spindle]

Im happy for you Mel

Hope things get better

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you, and I hope you get your great one soon!

[crude spindle]

Thanks

Let me out of the blood pact and maybe I will

[acoustic cedar]

Sure lmao

[crude spindle]

I think it’s human sacrifice time

[acoustic cedar]

Sounds good to me lol

[crude spindle]

You still gonna rotate species or is it all fallow again now?

[acoustic cedar]

Still gonna rotate I think

But the goal is definitely 2 huddles now

This feels so surreal

Like

My heart can’t take it 😂

[crude spindle]

And with no herd management too

Very surreal

[acoustic cedar]

I haven’t been shooting lvl 2s anymore tho

So idk if that’s exactly herd management or what at this point any more

But apparently shooting 2s might not have been the most intelligent thing from what I’ve been learning

Idk what I’m doing anymore at this point

[warm flax]

I think I’m gonna do whitetail on rev

It’s a completely fresh map and I don’t think I have any kills on it

[acoustic cedar]

I just don’t bother with really small stuff cuz apparently that’s not helpful

[crude spindle]

I think I’m gonna do the same

[acoustic cedar]

Honestly I don’t see why not

I’m not stacking or shooting animals down

But if I see something that looks like a doe with two twigs on it’s head I just focus on the rest of the herd

[crude spindle]

What do we even consider small then?

[acoustic cedar]

For fallow?

[crude spindle]

Like do you shoot small 3’s?

[acoustic cedar]

I’ve been leaving the lil 2s

I have been

[crude spindle]

Im copying your homework 😂

[acoustic cedar]

Lol 😂

I literally said I was gonna be nice to myself and do a couple runs of fallow cuz moose weren’t he;ping with me being all sadge and then this shows up

Fallow love me apparently

[warm flax]

I forgot rev had the ptarmigans

[crude spindle]

We’re gonna try light management and see how this goes

@tiny kestrel is what Mel said kinda what you were doing? ^

[gusty spade]

and another

[lofty plume]

light management. Love it. Its Herd Management. I think everyone has had stacking stuck in their head as HM. Its not. Stacking is just a way to accelerate shooting down other zones you dont plan on hunting. That is the reason i came up with it. That is for a more hardcore approach to grinding. And its not for everyone. Herd management is a core concept that just focuses for fallow on shooting level 3 and up. No stacking. Just selective shooting to produce better animals. If you shoot a lot of low level animals, you will see a lot of low level respawns. And if you are going for big trophies, that is counter productive.

[acoustic cedar]

Light management is a good term I think

I think most people are doing that now

I literally just don’t bother with tiny ones if they show up

Nothing intense

[crude spindle]

So you shoot all 3’s?

And yeah I’m leaving the tinies now too

[lofty plume]

I was just trying to differentiate the point that most people have associated stacking as HM, rather than the core behind it. which is shooting 3 and up. Very simple, nothing intense about it.

[acoustic cedar]

Makes sense

[crude spindle]

Makes sense x2

[lofty plume]

You got another GO MEL?

6 now?

[acoustic cedar]

Yup! My 4th

Golden spoon rack

Gonna go for two more

[lofty plume]

Oh very nice! How many kills now?

[acoustic cedar]

No idea, probably nearly 6k but I stopped counting exactly as I’ve been going between moose, bear, fallow and whitetail!

[lofty plume]

Gotcha, i shot a few moose last night. I am over 12k in for fallow now. At 7 GO for them so far. 0 supers. I need CROW rng. less than half the kills with same amount of GOs and 3 supers.... SHEESH

@pale oracle

[acoustic cedar]

RNG do be a thing

I’m hoping moose will be kinder to me soon lmao

[glossy cove]

You got another one mel? Congrats!!

[crude spindle]

Crow been popping off fr fr ong

[lofty plume]

my moose were not the best before thats for sure. last one was 3600+ on medved.

[acoustic cedar]

I did! Currently following him from zone to zone! Thank you so much!

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah mine have been nearly 8k and between 2-3k so far

[glossy cove]

Now I gotta catch up xD. Currently at 3 at roughly 2.5 2.7k kills in

[lofty plume]

dont catch up. Just get it already lol.

Wait 3 GO in 2.5-2.7?

[acoustic cedar]

The question is do I continue grinding fallow tonight or return to pain (moose)

[lofty plume]

you are doing ok lol.

[crude spindle]

Moose my beloved

[lofty plume]

Fallow are just nice. its such a good money grind really. Even though there is nothing to spend all that on.

[acoustic cedar]

Moose are so cool but god they’re just pain

[crude spindle]

They’re slow

[glossy cove]

By far my favorite g1 to grind

[acoustic cedar]

Exactly

[crude spindle]

But pretty

[lofty plume]

Yeah they look so good. And moose have the most diamond variations its so sweet!

Im not even sure how many actual diamond racks they have.

[crude spindle]

1 milly fadilly

[acoustic cedar]

Very true

[crude spindle]

Approximately

[acoustic cedar]

I desperately want the quad paddle or spider rack…or an ashen big non typical 👀🖤

[glossy cove]

I just wish we had a better rifle for moose like a 375 h&h . Going for heart shots every time just isn't fun

[crude spindle]

I kinda want a spider oak

[acoustic cedar]

Fr thoooo

[lofty plume]

i need non typ or quad. I have not gotten either of those.

I am happy about having the common fur moose GO though from before they changed that.

[crude spindle]

Lol the great common mishap of 2022

I remember when everyone was like “this is dumb where are the rare furs” and now it’s “I wish I had one”

[shrewd oasis]

Damn this is a lot of names I watch on youtube 👀

[lofty plume]

Yeah, i really wish they would have left it tbh. With a chance of ultras for them.

That would have been cool.

[fiery pelican]

7 with 12k is very nice i think lol i have 3 with 9k

[shrewd oasis]

Are there different variants in racks for GO red deer? Just got my first one ever, not sure if I should grind for another or flip over my setups to fallow deer

[lofty plume]

I feel fortunate for mine so far. longest one was 3,671. So not terrible. But still seeing consistent 500 kill grinds back to back to back. Makes me just hope for sub 1ks maybe back to back lol.

[crude spindle]

The rack varies in size but they all look the same pretty much

[shrewd oasis]

Ahhhhh okay! Fallow deer it is then

Thank you very much

[crude spindle]

You’re welcome

[warm flax]

I think I’m gonna grind fallow again

I want the painted

[glossy cove]

Yeah red deer need a g1 overhaul. 1 fur and 4 racks? That look similar is just eh.

[warm flax]

What I have noticed is people are getting their 2nd great one quicker then the first

[terse wyvern]

Not for me

But it's also pretty hard to beat barley over 100 kills

[warm flax]

If I manage to get one quicker then the 223 I had first I’d be surprised

[terse wyvern]

I'm almost 3k

[warm flax]

I also noticed for some reason I had so much more higher ranked animals after I got the great one

[warm flax]

You can have mine lol

[terse wyvern]

I wish, or just an SR I would be happy

Not getting many dimes tho

[warm flax]

I wanted to get a mela super bad during my grind but I didn’t

[terse wyvern]

I got 1

[warm flax]

I got the most basic fur type for fallow go imo tho

Golden

[crude spindle]

I feel like it’s hooded

[warm flax]

I got golden typical rack

[crude spindle]

Mel’s golden Irish made it look better to me

[terse wyvern]

I got mocha but spoon rack

I can't complain tho for basically a free go

[warm flax]

I wanted either mocha or painted

[acoustic cedar]

Lorge boi got the smoke

His zones were unfortunately in really not good spots for photos

But I got some nice ones at his drink zone

[shrewd oasis]

There's 4 racks for go red deer? or did you mean the sizing

[warm flax]

What does a black tail in this game look like

I haven’t seen one once

[glossy cove]

This is what they look like ( big rack diamond )

[warm flax]

Interesting

[somber turret]

Smexy deer

I swear they have the most underrated diamond racks

[glossy cove]

I just feel they just need a few tweaks to them. Other then that their truracs are solid

that was alot of t words in a row xD

[pliant oak]

grim was doing it before you were doing it

not being funny but its a community learning

jaxy was also doing so before you was doing it

but its all been based off what many of the community has been learning since great ones came out

grim did get a lot of stick too saying he didnt know what he was talking about

[lofty plume]

They were stacking?

I was talking about stacking. I know people were using HM a long time ago.

[pliant oak]

all thats happened since then is its been refined over time

[lofty plume]

I am talking about stacking.

[pliant oak]

yeah he was doing it

actually got criticized too

you took it too next level

[lofty plume]

Hmm. That is news to me. Before i started playing the game in Nov of 21, i have no idea what people were doing. I just started playing, and doing my own thing.

[pliant oak]

the funny thing is all great one grinding is..is whoever spends most time efficently gets the most great ones. thats it

which is the same as classic. its just about how much time you grind in the most efficient way

yeah grimm really was the first jaxy was doing shooting selective just after

[acoustic cedar]

I don’t remember Grim stacking

[pliant oak]

i watched him do it

[acoustic cedar]

He got stick because he told people to not shut off their game and stuff

If they were “on a heater”

[pliant oak]

not sure if hes evem in here cause he got sorta loads of shit

which is kinda sad

[acoustic cedar]

He did say a lot of very…not true things. Which is what upset people

[pliant oak]

yeah mel as saying its a " part " of the community learning

we just progress learn more adapt get better

ibuy has it down the best now

then there will be another move

but its all been based off the community learning

we just take steps to make it more efficient

[crude spindle]

I feel like half the creators have outdated guides still up out there

So much has changed these past few months

[pliant oak]

well as above things change ibuy crow others do have great guides

ibuys in front as hes dedicated to doing it prolly more than the rest

[crude spindle]

I didn’t mean that maliciously

Just how it goes

[pliant oak]

no its fair it changes over time

i was doing parts of herd management 14 years ago

LOL

in classic

cant claim i started it

stacking i was stacking diamonds before many tried it

dont claim to of started it

we all learn from each others input

i look forward to all inputs and fresh ideas as that what makes us better

😁

[crude spindle]

ron da OG

Piebald #20 💀 this grind is killing me

[acoustic cedar]

…how did you herd manage in classic?

[lofty plume]

I literally dont recall one person talking about stacking to min/max their map at all. Not until people saw my black bear grind. But idk. im just a newb to the game.

HM in classic. HECK YEAH! lol

[crude spindle]

You are not a newb

Lmao

[pliant oak]

you are the best at great one hunting right now ibuy

take the compliment

😉

no one else is close

[acoustic cedar]

Gonna do some more fallow runs

[crude spindle]

2 in one day time

[pliant oak]

good luck mel what you after now ?

[acoustic cedar]

See if anything else decides hey you know what

[pliant oak]

what combo

[acoustic cedar]

Desperate for painted/silver and a blade rack

That’s all I’m missing lol

[pliant oak]

yeah i wouldnt mind that either

[crude spindle]

Silver would make my life

[acoustic cedar]

Imagine

I’ll go shoot moose in a bit tho

I’m not finished with those idiots

[north nova]

Greetings all

I hope you're well

[acoustic cedar]

Hey hey Tyk!

[lofty plume]

Hello Tyk

[gritty tendon]

what combo would you be looking for next?

[crude spindle]

Read up a little husky

[acoustic cedar]

The absolute dream is an ashen big non typical - but I’m also hoping for quad paddle and spider rack with any furs

[pliant oak]

i need to get back to moose love hate relationship with em 😂

[gritty tendon]

she was talking about fallow i thought?

[acoustic cedar]

I mean same

[gritty tendon]

i was asking about moose

[crude spindle]

Ohhhh

[acoustic cedar]

If I saw a big non typical I’d die

I have half of it, but a full one…oh boi

[gritty tendon]

ashen non typical is an awesome looking combo

[acoustic cedar]

Fr it is

Ashen anything I love

[gritty tendon]

i really wanted ashen typical when i did my 2nd grind

ended up getting ashen but not the rack i wanted

[acoustic cedar]

I’m hoping I won’t get another big typical

[gritty tendon]

quad still looks good on ashen though so i won't complain at all

[acoustic cedar]

Seeing as 3/4 antlers on my great one moose are that lol

[crude spindle]

What rack is this

[acoustic cedar]

Big non typ

That’s my dream combo

[crude spindle]

I want that on two tone so bad

[acoustic cedar]

That right there

[crude spindle]

Crows is gorgeous

[acoustic cedar]

Just give

[fallow owl]

Pffft. That’s nothin. I was herd managing in Big Game Hunter 2006

[acoustic cedar]

Lmfao

[crude spindle]

Yo flint

[fallow owl]

Yo

[crude spindle]

Was your fallow no hm?

[lofty plume]

You are an animal though.

[fallow owl]

The last few thousand kills I was leaving some level 2s. I would kill half of them by accident anyway, but I tried to leave them alive lmao

[crude spindle]

Trying to ask everyone who went over 5k for data purposes

Interesting

Another light management g1

[lofty plume]

i shoot more does than level 2s.

body guards are sneaky.

and the hit boxes. sheesh

[fallow owl]

By the end I only had does in like 3 zones. I seriously have no idea where like 40 deer went lol

[acoustic cedar]

Fr

[crude spindle]

Suffering from buckcess

[fallow owl]

I think honestly I deleted so many zones they moved to Hirschfelden

😂😂😂

[plain raptor]

Hah

That was a good one

[crude spindle]

The bad place

[glossy cove]

I think they most likely hopped onto a boat and went to Australia xD

[plain raptor]

I will do a Hirsch grind eventually

[crude spindle]

They swam actually

[glossy cove]

Wouldn't the sharks have a field day though?? Actually that's probably why they are missing

[crude spindle]

There are no sharks in ba sing se

[warm flax]

Imagine a CoTW map for spear fishing

[gritty tendon]

would fit better for the angler

[warm flax]

The angler isn’t a console game

[somber turret]

It will be soon

[crude spindle]

Albino #4

[warm flax]

I wish

Mid August is still long ways away

[somber turret]

It's a month be here before you know it

[pliant oak]

haha

wrong one meant the flinter one 😂

[pliant oak]

never played that

was it good

deer hunter was popular

there was one hunting one that you could skin animals too just before thehunter came out but then it vanished

[full cave]

Is pink a rare fur for female feral pigs?

[terse wyvern]

I believe so

[glossy cove]

Yep

[terse wyvern]

I believe I saw one on my map too, but then seconds later saw my GO and said yeah forget that

[fallow owl]

its one of the ones that got me hooked on hunting games. I wouldnt say it stands out among cableas BGH games tho. Pretty much the general array of maps and big game species, but it centered around a story of continuing your grandfather's quest for the north american grand slam -- harvesting the 48 big game species in NA

[visual glen]

1700 kills in fallow grind 0 sr and 0 GO

[pure turtle]

7700 kills for the love of God spawn please!!!!!

[acoustic cedar]

The amount of 2s spawning on my moose grind makes me think there’s a monster somewhere

But idk where

It’s not in any of my grinding zones for sure

[warm flax]

Can anyone tell me how to hunt these capercaillie, grouse, and ptarmigans? No one’s answering in tips and I know it’s active here

[acoustic cedar]

I’m so stupid

[acoustic cedar]

So I was correct

I forgot I found a solo bull zone

There’s a giant big rack 5 stood in it

😂😅

Huh I wonder why my respawns are so smol

I freakin knew there was something up

I wonder how long he’s been there

300.01

[acoustic cedar]

What exactly are you struggling with?

[warm flax]

Trying to find them and not spook them before I see them

[gusty spade]

Spot and stalk

[warm flax]

That’s the thing, I can’t find them

[gusty spade]

top left corner of revontuli there everywere

[warm flax]

For every type of bird or just a certain one?

[gusty spade]

i dont remember waht all is there but ik there i bean geese cannada geese hazel grouse and black grouse @warm flax

[glossy cove]

If I got a nickel for every time I've gotten a piebald and an albino in the same run, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't alot but its weird that it happened twice

[crude spindle]

oddly enough me too

[gritty tendon]

AHHHH

GO #3

i'm gonna get pictures of him in his feed zones and stuff this time

[acoustic cedar]

Congratulations! What combo?

[gritty tendon]

golden irish

it looks awesome

[acoustic cedar]

Oh beautiful! Congratulations!!

[gritty tendon]

thank you :)

[crude spindle]

That second one is gorgeous

[gusty spade]

3rd pied today

[full cave]

Ngl

I want to kill my go with the muzzleloader

That's if I get one

[warm flax]

You’ll get it

Trust

[full cave]

if

I was busy all day today I might hop on my fallow grind again

[warm flax]

I killed a few but now I’m getting pissed off on rev and running around trying to kill ptarmigan

(I haven’t killed one ptarmigan all day)

[full cave]

That's how my pheasant grind was going

I could go days without seeing 1 male

And if I do it's probably a lvl 1

[warm flax]

I’m not even seeing one ptarmigans

So I’m determined they’re fake

And invisible 💀

[full cave]

I never spotted one before

I've heard them

But never spotted them

The only species on rev I've seen are the geese brown bear moose lynx racoon dogs and whitetail

[warm flax]

Yeah I’ve heard them just not seen them
