🦌︴great-ones

[full cave]

Ok this game is dragging me back in

The lvl 5 fallow seem too common...

[stone lantern]

Eyyy Jonny mine was the exact same combo, congrats man

[glossy cove]

Thank you!

I took him with the 243 rifle because I hadn't killed a great one with it yet

[stone lantern]

Nice how many kills

[tame badge]

3k

?

[glossy cove]

For all 4 roughly 3k kills, but his grind lasted like 800 900 kills

[stone lantern]

Nice I’m 2.5k in and only got one 😭😭😭😭

[glossy cove]

Hopefully you'll get another one soon

[tame badge]

I'm about to quit I swear. I keep deleting zones with one kill. No way am I carrying a tripod everywhere

[stone lantern]

Nice so another G1 video

[stone lantern]

I hope I do too

[glossy hearth]

got my first diamond at 29 kills but messed up the shot
was quite a big boy

[unkempt parcel]

POV you scroll through @acoustic cedar's community section 😂 congrats on the GO streak lately!!

I had community sections turned off for me, didn't know you've been posting early teaser pics, only been watching vids lol

[crude spindle]

LMFAO

Nuts when you see it all together

[glossy cove]

Fallow have just been crazy

[terse wyvern]

Everyone getting cool stuff

Except me

4k into my second

[pale oracle]

Health is overrated xD

[plain anchor]

Anyone know a place for all hot spot maps ? For every map ? I’m not finding it in pinned messages anywhere

[glossy cove]

I'm 9,544 kills away from 90k harvests

[north nova]

You have Helf? IN THIS Economy?!

[unkempt parcel]

5915/24 = 246.5 days of opportunities spent in COTW lol wow 😂

[acoustic cedar]

Our totals as basically the same then as I have about 1k hours on Xbox too aha

[acoustic cedar]

Someone calculated this for me and mine was very very similar and it was a lil scary lmao

[worthy junco]

Not cotw, but yall talking about health so. (BTW this is my most played game)

[wooden junco]

Had the game for 12 months and 767 hours. Dont feel so bad now lol

[long bison]

Damn

I barely have time for this game anymore

😭

[pliant oak]

as said yesterday time and grinding = more trophys

😁

more time you grind more great ones

[signal sun]

Holy crap

somebody just posted in #🦌︴trophies a fallow 270+ guaranteed 😳

[pliant oak]

i got a 270 other week

it is nice to get the big ones

[green onyx]

I need to ask it once again. Does HM affect the go ? Because i think about to give it up and grind normal cuz i have the feeling that my grind is very very slow and inefficient

[plain raptor]

There’s not a concrete answer that can be given

Some believe it does, others don’t

[green onyx]

I believe that it does, but my grind is slow and the respawns are strange since i use HM. And i dont know what i should do now

[fiery pelican]

if youre doing hm right it doesnt slow your progress are you checking every zones per run

and in my opinion GOs like rares just RNG

[green onyx]

@fiery pelican no only the zones which i grind

[plain raptor]

One person was doing a fallow grind using HM. Got plenty of diamonds, but didn’t get their GO until they were in the thousands

[fiery pelican]

i think youre doing something wrong cause i did hm i was getting 5s every 10-15 kills and gettin 80-110 kills per hour it was so fast

[green onyx]

I only get 55 kills per hour

I tracked it

[fiery pelican]

55 is not toooo bad

but you can increase this number

[plain raptor]

What are you killing?

[green onyx]

Also i only grind like 7 Zones

*only

How many zones do you grind?

[fiery pelican]

8 or 9

i dont remember

[green onyx]

Ok and you shoot 2-3 whitetail every zone ?

[fiery pelican]

w-whitetail?

a

i was talking about fellows lol

im grinding 10-13 zones for whitetail

and yes i shoot 2-3

[green onyx]

Ah sorry i didnt say im taking about whitetail

[clever lake]

great one #2 👍

[pliant oak]

over the last week or so i do believe it does

i think many have been over thinking and its just like a elevated diamond

so herd manage and time = more GOs

you can see this with those that have most GOs herd manage and spend lots of time in game

so be efficient with your time herd manage

my last 4 gos have been about 700 kills each

using same process

now do i go for moose next or ...fallow 🤔

i do want that blade rack

[dapper pumice]

I want a fabled silver with the megaloceros or Irish elk rack

[pliant oak]

silver and blade rack saw rack would be nice

[dapper pumice]

What’s your least favourite combo

Spoon painted is my least favourite

[pliant oak]

not sure really

[clever lake]

that makes sense

[clever lake]

imo painted is one of the best

[pliant oak]

painted and silver my favs

[full cave]

i’m live on twitch if anyone wants to hop in

@hexycotw

[dapper pumice]

I just think painted does look good with it being black and orange

What’s are the other fur types anyway

Cause there is hooded silver

I don’t know the other ones

[full cave]

sliver hooded painted and mocha

[dapper pumice]

Ooh

[full cave]

and golden

[dapper pumice]

Oh yeah I remember golden

Not sure what mocha is like

You know it really sucks that fabled piebald whitetail are so rare

I don’t know if anyone has gotten a legit one and they don’t look as good as other great ones

[full cave]

one person

[pliant oak]

mocha is nice too

[hoary sphinx]

wasn’t there someone on xbox who got a fabled piebald legit then started trading it💀

[full cave]

one right answer, golden spoon

[daring kindle]

💀

[full cave]

there’s been like (from what i know) 2 or 3 legit

[daring kindle]

Wrong answer ong

[fiery pelican]

my first 5400 second 1100 and third 2500 and i did hm hardcorely lol i dont know

maybe im the unluckiest person in this game

[pliant oak]

sometimes it happens

on some of my whitetail grinds for eg rancho 2000 plus kills nothing

bears 1100 nothing

just how it goes sometimes

collecting herd management and selective shooting is the way though

on avg you will get great ones quicker

[glossy hearth]

painted typical rack GO fallow deer goes hard

[tame badge]

How are you guys completing a run without needing to reset the time? I just can't fit it all in

[pliant oak]

most do reset time

fallows i start at 12

run often ends after 1

restart at different location from where you want to hunt though

[glossy hearth]

i always reset time when i have shot down all the zones

[tame badge]

Ohhhhh, that's what you meant. Thanks got it!

[full cave]

i have 5 solos in one zone… this is not fun

[tardy stream]

Time to start the grind again, took a bit of time off.

[tame badge]

I'm taking a break after the next diamond for sure

[tardy stream]

#1 of today.

[tame badge]

I've gone on the biggest miss streak in a low. Struggling fr

[tardy stream]

#46 dime or lvl 5.

[tardy stream]

#2 of today.

#1 troll of today, first lvl 5 chocolate and its a troll.

[full cave]

man the level 5s can get small, i just killed a 238 5

[tame badge]

Is everyone keeping track of kills? Cause I ain't got a clue how many I got

[strong thorn]

I just do it loosely really

I know I get around 34 every run so I do around 100 kills daily*

[tame badge]

I'll have to count how many I get a run then

[strong thorn]

Yeah then just estimate by the number of rounds you do

[tame badge]

👍

[full cave]

oh my

first albino in like 3k kills

[gritty tendon]

could always write down your total harvest at the start of the grind and then when your done and then subtract

[full cave]

i use a counter app on my phone

[acoustic cedar]

Time to chase around my great one for a few hours

[plain raptor]

Hehe

Foreplay eh?

[acoustic cedar]

Oh my god 😂😂😂

[glossy cove]

Wait you got another one?

[acoustic cedar]

Yup number 5 is currently on da map

[glossy cove]

Nice! Congrats!

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much!!

[glossy cove]

I'm taking a break from them after getting my 4th one. I'm back to killing pumas for now

[acoustic cedar]

Ooooh nice!!

[glossy cove]

I still need that black panther that's a diamond

[acoustic cedar]

I’m gonna go hard until my 6th spawns then move on to moose, whitetail and bears again

[glossy cove]

hopefully the moose don't do what they did last time xD

[acoustic cedar]

We live in hope lol

I won’t bother with the lvl 2s this time so it might be better? 😭

[glossy cove]

Yeah and leaving solos might help.

[acoustic cedar]

Maybe! I’ll certainly experiment a bit

[strong thorn]

Diamond Mela puma sound cool

[acoustic cedar]

That does sound sick

[strong thorn]

Will you get this one with the bow Mel?

[acoustic cedar]

I’ve been challenged to take it with the .44

So I’m doing that

Next might be a bow kill

[strong thorn]

Dang maybe next one

Cool

[acoustic cedar]

I has located his feed zone

I was worried he was gonna be like the super rare and seemingly not have zones

Thankfully he comes from a completely different direction

[strong thorn]

Cool

[terse wyvern]

Peixhrhjdsgjshbd

GO 2 spawned

Saw rack, silver looks like

Just under 4.1k

[acoustic cedar]

Ayooo congratulations!!

[crude spindle]

Nice good job!

[terse wyvern]

Thank you! I'm so happy, I was really starting to get burnt out, stopped getting rares and dimes for like 700 kills

I was worried it was gonna be much worse

I'm gonna take it with the 10mm

[acoustic cedar]

Awesome buck!!

Mine once again seems to have his “rest zone” in the void

Which is super annoying

But at least I have a feed zone

[terse wyvern]

Silver looks so good in game

[acoustic cedar]

I soooo want one

I’ve got 1 more chance at silver or painted

Reee

[terse wyvern]

I was trying to get pics but I got photo bombed by a female

[acoustic cedar]

Love when that happens

[terse wyvern]

Sitting in a tree stand waiting for him to come back

Think I'm about to get photo bombed by my own tent now lmao

[acoustic cedar]

Rippp lol

[void hawk]

How many zones should I be hunting for fallow? (using hm)

[pliant oak]

doesnt matter that much just visit water

[gusty spade]

2933kills and i got him

[tame badge]

Best rack imo

[acoustic cedar]

Congratulations!!!

[crude spindle]

Starting to itch for a second

But I’m enjoying other games rn

[pliant oak]

congrats great combo

[gusty spade]

I told myself it would be today and ill be damned if i was right lol

[void hawk]

Congrats!

my favorite combo

[tame badge]

What's the longest it will take for fallow to get to a zone?

[terse wyvern]

Hes down, let's gooooo I got some amazing screenshots and a clip

I also decided to take an under the pressure shot, which I'm now realizing how bad that could have been, but its ok cause it's for the content 😂

[glossy cove]

I still haven't gotten a 270+ fallow since the update

[tame badge]

Just killed my biggest after the update at 260. The probably don't want diamonds scoring more the GOs

They*

[terse wyvern]

Doubt that sense my saw rack I got is 252.6

[tame badge]

Fr? That's oddly low

[terse wyvern]

Almost all my dimes are bigger than that

Ye

[tame badge]

Maybe they don't want diamonds scoring higher than the biggest GO rack

[terse wyvern]

Also a little peek at my fabled boi 👀

[tame badge]

Gorgeous

How many diamonds before you got him?

[terse wyvern]

23

[tame badge]

Dang

Only at like 8

[terse wyvern]

15 rares as well, most I have ever gotten in a grind

[tame badge]

Still haven't gotten a rare sadly

What was the smallest that you'd kill

I'm only killing one's with a max estimate over 170

[terse wyvern]

I just shoot em all,

[tame badge]

Oh no HM?

[terse wyvern]

Nah

I'm built different

Smallest fallow I got is 63.9

[tame badge]

Lvl 1?

[terse wyvern]

Ye

[tame badge]

Jeez

[acoustic cedar]

I wonder how smol my lvl 1 is

He’s a white fur too

I got super confused when I first spotted him because I know white is a male only fur but I couldn’t see anything for antlers on him lol

[terse wyvern]

Yeah smol boys really fool ya like that fr

[acoustic cedar]

When I realised I was like “a fawn!”

[terse wyvern]

Bambi fr

Slowly waiting for my screenshots to upload

[strong thorn]

That’s why lvl 2s are -Minor

[strong thorn]

Dang, I want one so badly

[terse wyvern]

Here's a better pic

[shell garden]

if I have a fallow grind set up on TA but want to grind red deer which map should I do it on?

[full cave]

I would do quattro it is not bad for reds

@shell garden

[plain anchor]

Got my first G1 ever on mp yesterday ! Poor guy, I feel bad. NOT 💀

[terse wyvern]

Noice lmao

Tbh I want an mp GO

[shell garden]

Thanks 🙏

[frigid bramble]

Should I go for a Fallow or moose go In multi, which one

[terse wyvern]

Fallow probably easier, but moose would be cooler

[frigid bramble]

Moose it is then

Because most MP servers is on fallow

Or red deer

[regal cosmos]

finally one on EC!

[unkempt parcel]

In Outback too, nice lol

[full cave]

This grind is just teasing me

I want a go but the game is like nah Heres some rares nice 4s and a couple lvl 5s for you instead

Hopefully soon mine pops up

[plucky goblet]

Yippeeee

[plain anchor]

Approaching 8K whitetail ! FML 🤦🏼‍♂️ I WANT TO CRY !!!!!!!!

[dapper pumice]

Are spoon racks the most common

[long bison]

Yes

[dapper pumice]

Nooo

How rare are Irish elk racks

[daring kindle]

That is an incorrect statement

There is no “most common”

[daring kindle]

There is no “most common”

[long bison]

Well I see the spoon rack a whole lot more than all the other racks

[daring kindle]

That doesn’t make it most common

[long bison]

Ok bro 💀

[daring kindle]

Brother salty I’m right 🙏🏻

[dapper pumice]

It is true though that’s why I asked it seems like people get spoons the most

Gotta do data mining to work out for sure though

Maybe spoons have the lowest score so they are the most common

If it works based on taht idk

[normal rose]

big fan of this rack

[plain anchor]

Definitive answers only please, do tripods distance of a zone have any effect ?

[daring kindle]

Huh?

Like how far it is?

No

[plain anchor]

Meaning does it matter how close to a zone I place a tripod

I know tents matter

Get mixed answers about tripods

[tame lark]

Doesn’t matter except for placing them

Tripods don’t effect animals unless you place or remove them

[plain anchor]

Thank you !

[normal rose]

is that a piebald

it is!!

[full cave]

Welcome to my world hopefully your go whitetail pops up soon

Best of luck to you 👍

[full cave]

I don't see there being a "most common" fur or rac

[dapper pumice]

Got my first pie of the grind

Lvl 4 with 212 score I think

Anyway

So most of the fallows on my map are lvl 4 or 2 now

What should my next step for herd management be

[normal rose]

Cull the 4s

[dapper pumice]

All of them?

[normal rose]

Ya

Kill anything level 3 or up

[dapper pumice]

Ok then

And in every zone

[normal rose]

Yea

[dapper pumice]

Like not focusing on one spot or something

alright thanks

Do you have any gos yet

[normal rose]

Not yet

But basically

[dapper pumice]

Any good trophies yet then

[normal rose]

If you have a ton of low levels in a map

Diamonds will constantly spawn to replace the high levels killed

[dapper pumice]

Ok

[normal rose]

A female pied fallow, thats about it

[dapper pumice]

That’s cool

[normal rose]

still trying to get a diamond red deer or fallow

[dapper pumice]

I got a male like 20 mins ago

Also can lvl 4s ever spawn back as lvl2s

[normal rose]

Im doing a hybrid grind of fallow and red deer rn

iirc no

Only 3s or 5s

[dapper pumice]

Ok thx

[dapper pumice]

Imma check all my red zones and I might do that

I’d rather do a moose grind tho

[normal rose]

I will be doing that in medved

Do a bear and moose grind

[dapper pumice]

I don’t really like the whitetail and red gos cause they don’t hav as many furs

[normal rose]

I'll always do some sort of hybrid grind

[dapper pumice]

How do you do those

[normal rose]

Target 2 species basically

(Ex. Whitetail and bobcat)

[dapper pumice]

I mean like the tent setup and what not

[normal rose]

Oh that idk

I think with tents ur supposed to place them 250m away from zones

[dapper pumice]

Oh yeah I know that like I know how to do it

I just meant on a multi species grind

[normal rose]

Ohh

[dapper pumice]

Like what do you do with lakes that only have one

Do you just skip those or smth

[normal rose]

Yea idk i just use tents for my main one

And outposts for the other

Its always a GO species + one or two other just standard species i want trophies of

[dapper pumice]

I might do a mallard sub grind

[normal rose]

Priority is the GO but if I need to reduce hunting pressure i'll go ahead and hunt the other ones

[dapper pumice]

I gotta do a mule deer grind on parque for the final mission

All my diamond mules are on silver ridge and I just gotta get one on parque to finish the whole dlc

Gotta get a diamond peccary to now to have every diamond on the map cause of the backfill

And I gotta get a new diamond Canada goose cause of my save breaking😭

I literally had every diamond on Yukon

[normal rose]

I think i just saw a mela turkey

Time to set up decoys

There was actually a ton of turkeys there

I'll wanna blast em all

[dapper pumice]

Fr

I have like 6 now I think

My first ever turkey was a diamond to

Only turkey diamond I’m missing is rio grande

Omg I just thought of smth

Imagine grinding for a mela female red deer

That would be so strange

[normal rose]

Ok decoys placed

Time to harvest these fallows

[dapper pumice]

What go fallow is the best in ur opinion

[normal rose]

I honestly have no idea what my ideal combo is

Wide rack and silver fur looks p neat tho

[echo basin]

Should I get Te Awaroa for fallow deer grinding?

[dapper pumice]

Yes

There are barely any fallow zones so it is super easy

[echo basin]

Which gun would you recommend?

[dapper pumice]

I use the 300 on non trophy fallow

And for trophy fallow I use the m1

[echo basin]

k

[dapper pumice]

The m1 can be finicky sometimes at long range though

[normal rose]

I just use the 7mm malmer

Works for both trophy and nontrophy

[echo basin]

might do that since I don't have to spend money lol

[dapper pumice]

I’m pretty sure you do have to spend money to get that gun

It’s not the base game 7mm

[echo basin]

I can't read rn

[full cave]

Ah that explains a lot

I have so many small 2s on my map

And usually bigger 4s are spawning or troll 5s

[full cave]

Yep

Te awaroa is also pretty good for red deer

But you got other cool species on te awaroa

what gun packs should i get

[full cave]

Modern rifles

[full cave]

i have that

they're really nice

[normal rose]

Yea im using te awaora for 4 animals

Red, fallow, mallard, merriams

[full cave]

what reserves should i get

i have a few but i want more

honestly just reccomend me dlc's

[spice crater]

Which ones u got

You can also try them out by selecting multiplayer, and joining a reserve of choice to see which ones you'd prefer.

[full cave]

@full cave if I had to rank them it would go ec, vu, ta, srp, pf, rev, mv, rancho, yk, quatro, ne,

I think that's all of them

But for great ones probably ta for red and fallows, srp for bears, and rancho or revontuli for wt, revontuli or Medved for moose

[north nova]

You forgot Mississippi

[full cave]

didn’t even know you could to that tbh

[full cave]

alright thanks

[long bison]

Exactly

That’s why they’re “most common”

[raven rose]

Do I even need tripods for black bear go grind?

The zones get wiped anyways since they are all loners im pretty sure.

[acoustic cedar]

Congratulations!

[full cave]

Thank you!

[raven rose]

Just finished setting up a black bear grind.

Now I have a grind setup for moose, red deer, whitetail and black bear

I just need to get the red deer grind done so I can start the fallow grind

[full cave]

bro what 💀 there’s not a chance in hell i would have more than 1 grind going at once

that is too much for me 💀

[full cave]

Srp is a good starting reserve imo

[plush grove]

Hi

[acoustic cedar]

I’ve decided to shoot moose today

Unsure why

But we will see

Might go after whitetail later

[raven rose]

It's good to have many different ones so theres a lot of variety.

When you get tired of grinding something you always have more to choose from

[full cave]

incoming fabled piebald with your recent luck

[raven rose]

So, my first run with black bear took almost 30 minutes and I got only 5 male bears, is that normal or should I be getting more?

[crude spindle]

They’re awful

[acoustic cedar]

I’d just die, simply just die

[pliant oak]

good luck all with your grind 🍀

[raven rose]

All of a sudden theres whatever this is.

All of the three are males.

Weird how they respawned in the same spot when normally there is nothing here at all

Just dropped all 3, that was pretty satisfying not gonna lie.

[acoustic cedar]

Imagine having male bears

That aren’t lvl 2

[tame badge]

Ofc the first lake I HM out is my favorite one to hunt

[restive crater]

#5

[spice crater]

Are you using HM?

[restive crater]

Yes

[echo basin]

What is the best map for diamond whitetails?

[restive crater]

Revontuli or rancho u choose

[tame badge]

Layton or revontuli

Rancho???

[restive crater]

I grind on rancho

[raven rose]

I might be absolutely insane, but I weirdly actually enjoy the black bear grind lol

[acoustic cedar]

Rancho ain’t the best for whitetail these days unfortunately

[raven rose]

Atleast at the moment

[tame badge]

That's what I was thinking

[acoustic cedar]

wait until bears don’t show up anymore then you’ll question everything like me

[restive crater]

I dont really test layton mb

[acoustic cedar]

I want to shoot bears that aren’t lvl 2 plz

[raven rose]

That's what im scared of, like how can that even happen

[acoustic cedar]

I don’t know, happened to me tho. Literally can’t find more than a couple now

[echo basin]

I want to stop getting moose and bucks that aren't one pound away from diamond

[tame badge]

Hidden zone?

[raven rose]

Damn, that sucks so much.

[acoustic cedar]

Nope, checked the entire map, including the coast

[raven rose]

Black bear is by far my fav GO so I hope that doesn't happen to me.

[acoustic cedar]

They’re epic

[tame badge]

What map?

[acoustic cedar]

I would love to hunt more but they just suck

SRP

[tame badge]

Dang, could they just be late to their zones?

[raven rose]

I can see this grind getting quite boring once you reach the 1000's

[acoustic cedar]

Welp I set the time to 23:30 so if they’re later than that…

[raven rose]

I just played for over an hour and got 19 bears

[echo basin]

how

[tame badge]

True, I don't even know what I'd do. Maybe hunt them in rest zones or something

[acoustic cedar]

That would be hell

[spice crater]

What did you do with exteriors and singles

[tame badge]

Better than not killing any

[acoustic cedar]

Bro the entire map would have to be hunted to find their zones, it’s not feasible

[tame badge]

Oh yeah, duh

[acoustic cedar]

And every time you kill one the zone would move with the respawn

[raven rose]

Does anyone have a black bear hotspot map for SRP?

[tame badge]

Now that I think about, that's exactly why I stopped grinding bears

[tame badge]

Just found a lvl 5 with a max estimate of 303

Wtf

264 score tho

[coarse mortar]

it's something, right

still no diamond though 🙁

[worthy junco]

has anyone got a g1 off hersh yet?

[pale oracle]

Seen a few but not many

[pliant oak]

not many do hirsch as it is probably hardest to grind

[regal cosmos]

i got a red deer G1 on Hirsch...its more of a challenge for sure, but super rewarding! haha

might try setting up a fallow one next, 2 fallow GO from TA, 1 from EC, would be nice to get one from Hirsch

[worthy junco]

My bad ment to ask has anyone gotten a g1 fallow off hersh

[acoustic cedar]

Man I wanna hunt bears

Then there’s like 3 to shoot

Then I cry

Why must they SUCK

I never used to have much interest in bear hunting irl either but have gotten super interested in it, and that’s happening with bears in cotw now lol

[regal cosmos]

give Layton a try. 😄 its nicer w/o lions

[acoustic cedar]

You know I might have to…it’s just their home range looks awful

[regal cosmos]

i've sort of HM my bears to the point that most of my females are on the coast. The coast are the most annoying spots for Layon

[acoustic cedar]

Interesting

I can see how that would be helpful

[regal cosmos]

end of the day, there is no easy way to grind bears. 😆

[acoustic cedar]

Lol not wrong

[full cave]

why not try NE map for black bears?

[regal cosmos]

i was so annoyed by the lions, thats why i grinded layton before

NEM is even worst ....their home range is even bigger

[acoustic cedar]

Have you had one on Layton? A very cool achievement if so

[regal cosmos]

not to mention, bloody 45kg lynx scares them!

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah that really needs changing

[full cave]

ah

[regal cosmos]

its annoying as fk lol

[acoustic cedar]

It doesn’t make any sense either, why would a mountain lion or even worse something like a bobcat spook a huge ass bear?!

It’s like lynx spooking brown bear

Zero sense

[regal cosmos]

yea and rabbits, casually walking pass foxes without a care in the world. 😆

[acoustic cedar]

Right

If foxes spooked rabbits I’d be totally cool with that

But it’s like if fox spooked red deer with bears and lynx

Or bear and bobcat

[regal cosmos]

😄 or jackal spooking cape

[acoustic cedar]

Exactly lol

[regal cosmos]

yea, this back boy back in April. Havent been back on BB grind since

[acoustic cedar]

God look at that beast…one of my dream furs for them 😍 congratulations!! You’re seriously making me consider going and checking out my Layton now lol

[regal cosmos]

motivation 😄

[acoustic cedar]

My moose are being kind tonight which is a freakin nice change

[regal cosmos]

I'm not saying its a much easier grind than SRP, but its not that huge a difference when i did mine. still a pain tho

[acoustic cedar]

Goddddd I have a cream in that same pose nearly on that same platform (just the one in front lol) but next to a spotted instead of a glacier….god I want a glacier or chestnut lol

[acoustic cedar]

That’s really interesting to hear, I genuinely will go take a look and consider it as an option then! I love SRP for accessibility but the lack of males to shoot is the problem

[regal cosmos]

good luck, may the be with u

[acoustic cedar]

Aha thank you! 😊

[normal rose]

neat lil wonky rack

[normal rose]

does anyone remember me rambling about a crescent rack? yea its kinda like the front one but more like a backwards C in shape

[amber cedar]

Finally getting back on the grind after a few weeks or sum

[full cave]

Spring Creek manor

Very rare sight

[normal rose]

Its my fave

[full cave]

I would like it too but

Not enough space

A lodge like the Layton lodge or spring Creek but bigger would be my dream lodge

[acoustic cedar]

Same

Gimme a lodge twice the size of saseka with that spring creek aesthetic

[full cave]

Exactly

Dream lodge

Maybe one day

[acoustic cedar]

I hope

[full cave]

Another lvl 5 fallow

And another troll

That's troll number 15

[glossy cove]

And mounts like this. ( also stone and dall sheep would be nice)

[acoustic cedar]

Yesssss

[terse wyvern]

Started setting up for my bb grind and am finding an absolute ton of bears which excites me

[acoustic cedar]

Ooh which map?

[terse wyvern]

Srp, idk what changed but I have been finding so many more sense EC release

[acoustic cedar]

Goddamn I wish mine was like that

[terse wyvern]

Believe it or not I found 4 males at 1 lake

[acoustic cedar]

That’s crazy

[terse wyvern]

Fr hoping it stays that way

[acoustic cedar]

The only lake I have like 4 at sometimes has 3 lvl 2s at it lol

[terse wyvern]

Do bear solos move like other solos do?

[acoustic cedar]

Yup

[terse wyvern]

Ok good to know

[acoustic cedar]

And seeing as every bear is basically a solo

It makes life not very easy lol

[terse wyvern]

I got 3 males and a female in a zone so Imma make sure they stay there

[acoustic cedar]

It wouldn’t surprise if they’re all solos tho

I think bears are all solos

From my experience

[terse wyvern]

That would suck 💀

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah from what I’ve seen they’re all solos basically

Just some share zones

Until you kill them

[full cave]

I'd love more sheep species

Aoudad stone dall sheep

Would be amazing

Alpine ibex too

[gritty tendon]

sorta want to grind whitetail for a 2nd whitetail GO

don't know which map though

don't know how to setup effectively on layton and my rev is broke

[normal rose]

I personally want dall sheep and blue sheep

[full cave]

I took a break from my grind

To look for a diamond bobcat

and guess what I find

A level 9 coyote

[normal rose]

A blue bobcat?

[full cave]

My god did I forget how hard predators are to track

[normal rose]

Damn i wish i could take that coyote off your hands

[full cave]

I don't have one yet

unless you count the werecoyote

[normal rose]

Been trynna get a diamond one of those

Speaking of the werecoyote

[full cave]

I'm checking everywhere haven't seen him yet

[normal rose]

When the fuck do i get that
Im at the mission where you gotta kill a buncha yotes in various regions with the 270

[full cave]

He's with 2 females and a mythical

[normal rose]

Also layton question
I remember u mentioning a mr black
||black bear or a mela?||

[full cave]

I lost it when I was tracking it I found a max weight track spotted the mythical

Then I spot ahead

[normal rose]

Damn

[full cave]

9 legendary

[full cave]

Lvl 9 blackbear

It's the tramphine Missions

[normal rose]

Ok sweet is it like a specific color or

[full cave]

Nope

[normal rose]

Alr perfect

Heres to hoping its not dark or dusky (not a fan of either one)

[full cave]

He's definitely not a mission sr

[normal rose]

Idk why they made the dark have a black snout

Black bears never have a black snout, its usually tan

[full cave]

Pretty sure he ends up dusky or some other color

Forgot which

[normal rose]

Im hoping its standard black or a brown

[full cave]

He used to be able to spawn as a go

But that was patched

Wait

I found the coyote track

hm

This is what this game does to me when I'm grinding something it doesn't give me it

Instead I get something completely different which is cool but yeah

[normal rose]

Lol that happened to me not long ago

Was tracking diamond moose until suddenly a leu turkey flew above me

Got the turkey, went back to the moose

Moose damn near killed me

[full cave]

Found him

And his zone

he's not escaping me

I think I botched it

Ye

I did

I got a stupid spine shot

[normal rose]

Damnit

[full cave]

He would have scored 56.89

i really should have been patient

[normal rose]

Troll or? I dont remember coyote score

[full cave]

Man that sucks

Nope

A diamond

Just a botched diamond

[normal rose]

I say tax him anyway

[full cave]

I rather not

It's a waste

[normal rose]

Fair

[full cave]

Well that killed my mood

I really should have not rushed that shot I got too impatient

Tbh I should have gone to his zone and got him there instead of chasing after it

This makes me kinda worried how I'ma be if I eventually get a go

[dapper pumice]

It would be a way easier shot

They are much bigger

[full cave]

I mean I still got kinda shaky

I should have waited for the coyote to stop

But who knows

I might try to grind Coyotes on the side as well as some sort of redemption

[dapper pumice]

I only do moving shots on animals I hunt all the time

Like all the cows and large deer

[full cave]

Same

Maybe larger predators as well but not all the time

I might have gotten too overconfident with that Coyote because I got a moving shot on a diamond raccoon dog

[daring kernel]

I feel like I'm paying the price for my super short GO moose grind

2.6k kills on fallows and nothing 😂

[plain anchor]

How short of a moose grind and on what map did you do the moose ?

I ask because moose is my next one

[daring kernel]

Well, my first GO moose took around 1200 kills, but the second one was only 25 kills 🤣 both on medved

[tardy stream]

Hows everyones grinds going?>

[hoary oar]

Not great, second grind for fallow GO, 2.5k in

[dapper pumice]

Setup is done and now it’s time for the first lvl 4 cull

[tardy stream]

im on first, 12 rares ( 2 super trolls), 3717kills, 47 lvl 5's and lvl 4 dimes.

[tardy stream]

Nice.

#1 of today.

[raven rose]

Are fallow and whitetail very similar to grind?

[tardy stream]

I never grinded wt tbh

[dapper pumice]

I’d guess no

Whitetail have more zones and are have harder to reach zones

@hardy fulcrum how was your grind so effective bro

[raven rose]

I mean: Red deer are always consistent with drink times but there's loners, whitetail sometimes won't show up and there's some loners, moose won't show up weirdly often and also there's a lot of loners, black bears move around the map + show up inconsistently and are always loners.

Would fallow fit the whitetails description in this case?

[hardy fulcrum]

I dont know... xD

[plain anchor]

I’m at 8.1K Whitetail on Rev, still no sight of him. I want to break something, this is ridiculous. 😔

[glossy hearth]

no

been grinding fallow for a while they will always show up

no matter late or early

they are super easy to grind

even if u spook em they will come back to the zone

really dumb deers

[plain anchor]

F this game, sick of this sht 🤬

I go to multiplayer and get a G1 fallow like it’s nothing. Yet sitting here with over 8K whitetail and the little sht won’t spawn in.

[raven rose]

Ohhh, ok, so they are like red deer then. That's good to know.

[north nova]

Well I mean, RNG is a fickle deity

I'm sorry it's such a long grind for the WT

[plain anchor]

Thanks, just smoked some so a little better now lol

[north nova]

bless

[dapper pumice]

Anyone got a map of all moose zones on reventuli

[glossy hearth]

fallow deer grind is doing surprisingly well with only 5 zones set up

[tardy stream]

@acoustic cedar Congrats on your 5th G1 and your SR.

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much!!

[tardy stream]

No problem.

[glad sail]

4 G1 Fallow, all same fur 😐

elk rack def my favorite

[raven rose]

Makes for a cool multimount for sure

[dapper pumice]

Dream elk rack fallow fr

[normal rose]

Makes for a neat multimount tho with all those different racks

[pliant oak]

hoping for silver on my next one

[daring kindle]

Hoping for anything as my first 😱

[wooden junco]

Lol I still havent got one myself. Given up for now though as found other stuff to play.

[full cave]

I'm taking another small break on the grind to get a diamond coyote and a diamond Mexican bobcat

[pearl birch]

my best trophies of trophies of the grind 4400 kills 8 gos 2 srs 1 max weight go my luck has been insane for fallow

[glossy cove]

That's insanely lucky. Congrats!

[pearl birch]

thanks!

[glossy cove]

I'm around 3.2k kills with 4 g1'a and 0 super rares with 1 troll piebald

[limber crater]

Holy Great One

[tame badge]

I quit

[pearl birch]

im hoping i can get my moose im almost at 5k at this point i can only do a round a day

[tame badge]

What map are you hunting them on?

[pearl birch]

med ved

i might switch to revontuli

[tame badge]

Revontuli has a smaller range imo.

[pearl birch]

im hunting 8 zones the rest are herd managed i might undo some of it

[crude spindle]

The whole map 💀

[acoustic cedar]

Considering moving my moose grind back to NEM and I’m wondering why I want to do that to myself

I’d try Rev again but I’ve just got it set up for whitetail

[terse wyvern]

I have my bear grind set up as best I can, now it's time to start bopping em

[acoustic cedar]

Good luck!!

[terse wyvern]

I think once I get my BB and wt GO then I might do my first reset

[gritty tendon]

well if you have good moose zones where your whitetail are just grind them there

[spice crater]

Insane, using HM? If so I can use tips on how to shoot down single bucks

[acoustic cedar]

Unfortunately I do not lol

My Rev moose are a breed of their own

[gritty tendon]

bummer

[terse wyvern]

Any guesses on how long before bears break me 😂😂

[acoustic cedar]

Two days

[terse wyvern]

Likely

[acoustic cedar]

Because bears suck after not long lol

[terse wyvern]

I must stay focused lmao

[acoustic cedar]

I just want them to be good

So badly

[terse wyvern]

Fr I wanna wait but I also don't

Figure might as well see how it goes this time

[acoustic cedar]

For sure

[raven rose]

Im crazy, but im really enjoying the BB grind. I hate the other grinds because of how repetitive it gets: go to 7 drink zones, kill a few, repeat. With black bear it always changes, they are never on the same places so there is tons of areas you can look. It feels rewarding to find a diamond all of a sudden on some random water area you have not looked in for a while.

[terse wyvern]

You just built different

[raven rose]

I mean I guess so since everyone else hates it lol

[terse wyvern]

I'm hoping it treats me better than the past, I would love to love it

I don't have any dimes or rare bb

[raven rose]

Yeah, I hope this wont take too long since red deer has been treating me like shit.

I have 8300+ red deer kills

673 moose, 241 whitetail

Im getting dangerously close to the 10k mark in total accross all grinds with no GO 😦

[terse wyvern]

Yeah the blessing and the curse of rng is you can get one quickly or never get one

[raven rose]

Exactly

I just wish I would get a quick grind

[terse wyvern]

I didn't think I would get one then I started fallow one day and ended it a few hours later

[raven rose]

Btw, I might have solved the mystery. Red deer have made me so insane I enjoy the black bear grind, that's the only explanation I can think of.

[terse wyvern]

Most excitied I have been for a GO too

[raven rose]

Nice

[terse wyvern]

Possible

[raven rose]

Also, since black bear GO is by far my favorite GO, that also motivates me to grind them.

[terse wyvern]

Wt made me hate them

[raven rose]

Red deer are also a little boring since there is no variations for the fur type.

Makes it less exciting

[terse wyvern]

I should go back to wt but bears seem like a better option tbh

[raven rose]

Atleast wt are not as slow to grind

My goal is like maybe 50 black bears a day

[terse wyvern]

I already got 4

[raven rose]

One thing with bears is that sometimes theres like 3 males on one lake

Sometimes no males at all for like 15 minutes

Anyway, gonna go do one last black bear grind run

[terse wyvern]

Yeah I gotta lock up as well

I have to full focus to see them

[raven rose]

BB like to hide on the tall vegetation lol

[terse wyvern]

Indeed

[mellow plaza]

What happens when you delete a zone

[tame badge]

Whole map but fewer zones. Medved has so many hidden zones

[tame badge]

They'll move to a nearby lake

[gritty tendon]

hearing about some of yalls bear populations makes mine seem like a dream

not that mine are great but i can average around 40-50ish bears per hour

[tame badge]

That's like over half your bear population an hour

[gritty tendon]

i got more bears on the otherside of the map but i just only grind maybe 8-10 lakes

so i can do a few runs an hour

get somewhere around 10-14 or something like that each run

[tame badge]

Makes sense

[terse wyvern]

Ran through my whole map got a total of 21 bears down

[acoustic cedar]

Just had a 301 max weight moose

2nd big rack diamond of the night

[terse wyvern]

Noice

I found a big mythical but that was it

Doing bear grind rn is very fitting cause bear season starts in August for me

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve been doing birthday stuff instead of grinding

[terse wyvern]

That's good 👍

Hopefully fun too

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve also just been playing other games instead of COTW

[terse wyvern]

I'm sorta headed that way

Just got mw2 and got my second fallow

So I feel accomplished enough, but I also wanna still play this game

[strong thorn]

so the fallow GO, is it easier to grind for or does it spawn with more frecuency?

[tiny kestrel]

Carnivores > COTW

[terse wyvern]

Just an easier grind

[strong thorn]

carnivores IN COTW? they aren't that good

[terse wyvern]

Fallow are very consistent

[strong thorn]

in classic you can at least tell one is bigger by just seeing it cause they actually look different

[terse wyvern]

I think hes talking about a different game

[tiny kestrel]

Carnivores as a series is just leaps and bounds more fun than theHunter

I can’t stay away from COTW forever tho

[terse wyvern]

I'm always bouncing from this game and minecraft

[strong thorn]

carnivores is about dinosaurs?

[tiny kestrel]

Yes

[strong thorn]

ah I've seen it

[terse wyvern]

Dinosaurs need to be in every game

[strong thorn]

I've jumped into various Cryptid hunting games

and CoTW

[terse wyvern]

I kinda hope they will make another hunterprimal

[tiny kestrel]

But make it hunting focused instead of survival focused

[terse wyvern]

Damn I just witnessed 2 bb going aggressive on a mountain lion

The sad thing is they were both males, looks like I'm resetting the time

[strong thorn]

Like prehistoric hunt?

Even the medals are similar to COTW

[full cave]

I'd love a cotw style hunter primal

My monkey brain would like anything dinosaur related

[tiny kestrel]

reptile brain*

[terse wyvern]

I think I did too much fallow because I am enjoying bb way too much

[full cave]

Umm actually dinosaurs were more closely related to birds 🤓

[full cave]

The grind for a go fallow slowed down again for me

So I went on a hunt for the pair of predators mtm

Found a diamond coyote but I botched it

So I gotta do a bobcat and coyote grind now

[terse wyvern]

I got my 2nd fallow, was considering a third and decided I should probably take a break from fallow

[full cave]

I haven't even gotten my first

I've just been getting troll 5s and the occasional rare

[terse wyvern]

Yikes

Yeah that was my luck as well till my go

[full cave]

Then for me to hype back up when I found a lvl 9 Coyote on rancho

Just for me to spine shot it

[terse wyvern]

Hoping to get my first bear dime or rare at least before the grind drives me to insanity

[full cave]

I'm having decent luck with bobcats

The level 8s are so common

too common

[terse wyvern]

It would be crazy to have my first SR be a bear

Hopefully it happens

[full cave]

I want a rare bear

Especially a cinnamon

What the hell

This game I swear

I was talking about mythicals and one just casually ran at me

[terse wyvern]

Noice

I just found a 9 mountain lion, of course I put my muzzleloader away so I gotta try and take it with slugs

[amber cedar]

Dropping an animal on the run is so satisfying

[full cave]

Speaking of the muzzleloader

I might try to get used to using it

I want to take my eventual go fallow with it

[amber cedar]

Y is zeroing enabled with iron sights if zeroing is supposed to be the ajustment of the scope

[terse wyvern]

That mountain lion was a troll btw

I got him with the slugs just for him to troll

[full cave]

Big rip

[mellow plaza]

Thank you

[terse wyvern]

Going strong with bb but it sleepy time now

Got 53 tonight which is pretty dang good

[full cave]

There's a part of me that wants to hop on the game and go continue grinding

But there's that other part of me that wants me to go to sleep because it's about to be 12

[tiny kestrel]

Dinosaurs are reptiles though

that’s not even an accurate joke

[full cave]

Are they-

[tiny kestrel]

Gtfo here silly goose 👹

[full cave]

People say their birds

[tiny kestrel]

They very much are not

[full cave]

Damn well then

There's goes my dinosaur expertise completely thrown out the window

[tiny kestrel]

They’re related and birds may well have had the same common ancestor as coelurosaurian theropods but dinosaurs are not birds

[full cave]

Ah

Thanks for the clarification

I'm still sad about the fact I botched a diamond coyote

Forever adding to the amount of diamonds I've botched

At this point I think this game just has it out for me

[full cave]

Another one

[crude spindle]

Least fun evolution fact 😔

[full cave]

Very unfun

[north nova]

Better off flipping it around that birds still think they are dinosaurs

Chompy little fricks

[raven rose]

Let the black bear grind continue

I would love to get a blonde bear

[north nova]

https://tenor.com/view/thisistheonedude123-bears-gif-18779976

[glossy hearth]

birds ARE dinosaurs

but not all dinosaurs are birds

birds lived at the same time as dinosaurs and they were so related they got classified in the same big family dinosauria

but there is 2 groups in dinosauria
non avian dinosaurs : theropods sauropods ceratopsians ect ect
avian dinosaurs: birds

👍🏻

[glossy hearth]

and they were more related to pterosaurs then anything else
they are part of a BIG group named archosaurs which has alot of reptiles in it including dinosauria
hope that explains it

[full cave]

Yeah ik lol I looked into it more after getting corrected by oli thanks for the information though

[glossy hearth]

your welcome

remember that google is not a good source for dinosaurs

wikipedia is fine but its mostly outdated if it doesnt have a source under it

[full cave]

I didn't use google

[glossy hearth]

aight

[full cave]

Yeah I'm very careful with my research

[full cave]

Good luck to you

I pray for your sanity

May the mountain lions not ruin everything

[raven rose]

Thanks!

Just checked one of the lakes I have not checked. There was like 5 to 6 males there plus it was absolutely amazing for shooting the bears.

Fantastic zone, my new favorite lol

Should have checked that place sooner

[full cave]

After I got a piebald bison in a lake I never check I always have to check every lake for things

[raven rose]

Yeah, black bear move so much it's best to hunt as many lakes as possible

[plain raptor]

“If you ever see me in the forest fighting a grizzly bear, help the bear! He’s gon’ need it.”

[north nova]

• Me, in any fight ever as I overestimate my abilities

[pliant oak]

hows the grinding all good luck today 🍀

[normal rose]

iirc theropods are avian dinosaurs? arent birds literally theropods?

[north nova]

please lets bring further dino chat to Off Topic

[pliant oak]

fabled as normal i see

🤣

[north nova]

but of course lmao

[pliant oak]

back to the fallow grind lets see what we get today

[plain anchor]

YES YES YES !!!!!

[north nova]

ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME

https://tenor.com/view/lizzo-its-about-damn-time-its-about-time-about-time-time-gif-26332372

[plain anchor]

PRAISE GOD !!!

[north nova]

now do it again, but in pied

[plain anchor]

8.4 K !!!

[glossy hearth]

lets talk in https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/541216719012626443

[normal rose]

I kinda wanna actually do this

Just to get the rarest thing in the game

[north nova]

lul

best of luck

[tame lark]

I know someone who is trying and they have like 25-30 GO whitetail without a UR

[north nova]

oof

those are some Scarecrow numbers

[pliant oak]

congrats

[plain anchor]

Thank you so much !

[tame lark]

He has 54ish total GOs I think

[pliant oak]

we know of probably one legit ultra rare great one

so that shows you how rare they are

[tame lark]

LC’s?

[pliant oak]

no his isnt legit

but im not going into that

[tame lark]

Really? When was this decided?

[pliant oak]

as above

we know of the pie whitetail but was traded

[tame lark]

I know someone who has a pie and they’re legit

[pliant oak]

there has been news rumours of another recently but hard to prove

sadly all platforms can have hacks cheats trades so you cant really prove legit

which pains me to say

this would be nice if we could have more detailed codex not just twenty kills show detailed kill counts and so on

so for eg start a great one grind. you start it. it counts all your kills

and you can access them

times dates and the rest

[tame lark]

The ideal thing would be people stop lying about their modded animals but that won’t happen

[normal rose]

Does it do so automatically?

[pliant oak]

20 kills show

but it would be useful in many ways to show count kills

grinding is a thing now so it would help

many use apps or just write on paper but ingame it would be nice

[acoustic cedar]

An in game counter would be hella great

Like classic

A lil statistic thing for every species

[terse wyvern]

Even with an in game counter wouldn't prove much if someone got really really really lucky

[acoustic cedar]

Very true

Would be handy tho, would make counting much more convenient

[terse wyvern]

Fr

I would know the exact number of wt I have grinded

If someone hasn't already put it in feedback maybe we should

[pliant oak]

it wont but it would be really useful

tracking rares diamonds and the rest

as above like mel said classic has it

[strong thorn]

I think there was one one time? Or was it just the best of each species shot on each map?

In the codex

Honestly when I arrived to CotW it was already not working

[terse wyvern]

In the absolute sea of suggestions I found a post of someone recommending the counter idea and bumped it up 👍

[crude spindle]

Starting a great one grind vs. finishing a great one grind

[north nova]

Barbieheimer.

[tame lark]

Don’t see why so many people wanna see Barbie

[north nova]

I'll watch it when it's streamable

And then I can double down with Oppenheimer

I like some of the cast in both, so that's enough for me

[tame lark]

I’m confident that I will never watch Barbie

[north nova]

That's okay.

I watch more gore/horror, "gorror" if you will, and things that really crank your brain and make you think

so sometimes a goofy movie is in order to give yourself a palate cleanse, imo

[tame lark]

What even is the plot for Barbie? I’ve seen tons of advertising but nothing has really shown me what it’s about

[north nova]

Uhhh.. I vaguely recall she has a pinocchio moment 'I wanna be a real-!' and then decides to go to the real world

Or something

I watched the trailer at 6am, and it made me snort

[fallow wagon]

Gore is funny 🙂

[plain raptor]

🤔

[pliant oak]

it baffles me too but its been a big success

shows you dont judge on own preference

😁

i like cillian so will watch Oppenheimer

even though people dont like the audio mixing

[crude spindle]

Womanhood

I’m seeing it later

Can’t wait

[tame lark]

boring. I wanna go watch the movie about big explosions

[crude spindle]

If that’s what you want to do go for it

[tame lark]

I was just joking kinda. I don’t have anything against the Barbie movie

[full cave]

I hate how true this is

I like how this chat can change randomly

First you are talking about go legitimacy and how to counter cheats to barbie and Oppenheimer

[full cave]

oppenheimer was very good when i wasn’t having to listen super closely bc everything else is like 5 decibels higher than the talking

[pliant oak]

fabled channel is special you never know which rabbit hole will be next

🤣

thats why we love it
