Sorry friend

It’s definitely going to be moose

Just waiting on someone to come out with a medved guide. Not mentioning no names šŸ˜‚

Moose are my favourite great ones but my god I hate moose themselves

The moose gos are probably the best looking ones

I killed him but the mule deer killed me

I got trampled by 6 different mule deer

How-

#

The game bugged out

#

On the harvest screen it shows a lung shot

#

But it says flesh on the thing

#

was it lung

#

Yes

rip

#

It says flesh though and it was a gold

#

Maybe it bugged out cuz I died

First a coyote

Now this

Man this game has it out for me

#

i lost a great one so… i win

#

I botched 2 guaranteed diamond predators

I think I'ma take a break from cotw in general this game is killing me on the inside

#

Why must medved meese be inconsistent as F

#

just

#

Not showing up to zones

#

Makes going missing at will

And not showing up elsewhere

I’m gonna consider map switching

Genuinely

Me with moose

Me with anything on rancho rn

I just love moose so desperately and they just hate me so much

But first bobcat redemption

I’d give anything for a decent moose grind

NEM I’m considering just because it’s so scenic

#

Yukon scares me as well tho

#

I just want my medved meese to be normal

I'm starting to want to stop using the .243

That gun has been giving me horrible luck lately

I've been doing so much better with the 22-250

Anyone here who’s grinding moose in any way- most consistent map you’re hunting? The only real option I don’t have rn is Rev due to grinding whitetail

#

Everything just seems like it’s gonna be pain to set up

I know I saw someone get a ton on Yukon…

Maybe I’ll go investigate my population and see what’s what

My moose weren’t great tbh when I tried moose grinding

I’ll definitely consider Yukon

@regal cosmos how many great ones are you on? šŸ™‚

I wanna play COTW again but everything either feels boring or it’s just gonna turn into another grind session

It's just turned into I have nothing better to do, or it's not gonna grind itself

Genuinely enjoying bears tho rn

I’ll get to bears eventually

That's what I said about a year ago lmao

I’m planning to get a black bear GO before the summer’s over

That's kinda my plan as well, hopefully sooner than later considering I just started

I'm not grinding moose at all but I know I've shot A LOT of moose on Yukon lol

Actually if I could get one before or during August that would be sick, sense bear season literally starts on the 1st

Maybe it reset time

My whitetail were cooperating

Got 3 diamonds

I was gonna reset but if my bears stay as they are I probably shouldn't

It's definitely much slower

They gotta do something to fix these things lmaooo

Yeah there’s still no bears

It’s so depressing

That chestnut was on Layton šŸ‘€

Cuz the cotw gods have blessed thee

Dang a layton

I really need to scope out Layton but

It just looks like hell

Yeah Layton map is far worse then I remember

Why did they do this to the bears šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

#

I’m so frustrated with it

terse wyvern

They wanted them to be extra rare šŸ’€

And just awful

#

See then I go back to medved

To try sort my moose

And I find a 5

So I’m like oh maybe? And then they’ll start acting up in a few runs šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

They bait you in

They make me believe

Then they take it away

Imma try delete these broken inconsistent zones

#

This one zone 99% of the time is one cow

#

Very rarely like 4 more appear including 2 bulls

#

What causes them to show? No freakin clue

My fallow did that too

Sometimes

acoustic cedar

Why tho

It’s so weird

I usually time change, if that doesn't work I main menu, if that doesn't work I fast travel away and then change the time and go back, and repeat this till they all show up

I may have to try that then

I have found all methods can be effective

i need to go over my medved map again...i havent gotten a diamond moose in my grind in awhile...i think im missing moose again

The only thing is it can eat cash

I should record it

Because it’s that bad

Document your experience

one more question, are each of you participating in stacking, leaving your legendaries?

Send to EW with a scrawled note saying ā€œplz…fix…the…bearsā€¦ā€

Bb is the one g1 that hm doesnt do much with imo

full cave
#

thank you! must be crazy seeing some of these numbers of kills and thinking, I wanna be doing that!

terse wyvern
#

Honestly I wish bears would stick to the lake they spawned at, having to grind every single area is the most painful part

#

Or at least stay in the general area

full cave
#

that bear GO in that trophy channel is so amazing looking though..think that bois next after red deer

terse wyvern
#

I love using the bow on bears, I made a tactic with smaller lakes to just call them into bow range and take them

#

Instead of shooting one and spooking the whole lake

#

I try to make the experience as fun as possible

acoustic cedar
#

So I discovered something

#

If I set my time to 23:50 ish, then I actually see some bears

#

Which is absolutely bonkers

terse wyvern
#

Hmmmm

#

It's weird they show up that late

acoustic cedar
#

They’re literally walking in still

I know they’ve said times are supposed to be ā€œa suggestionā€ but that’s ridiculous

worthy junco
#

I have not been liking the fallow grind so I decied to casualy shoot whitetail, and this just showed up! First ever albino from a grind

And pray they fix this

I just want a dime or rare bb I haven't had luck with many high lvls

#

They were walking in still at 10 minutes to the end of their zone

worthy junco
#

ok the only reason I think I have a g1 whitetail on my map is due to the fact that im only spawning 1's and samll 2's. I am stacking these low levels which inturn should spawn bigger deer, (HM) but im not spawning anything bigger than a 190. If I am incorrect please let me know.

terse wyvern
#

So I ran a mini test, and more bears do seem to appear later in the hour

#

Which is weird cause I already see a good amount of bears

#

At 22:45

#

Thank you IW for adding this to the game

#

glossy hearth
#

stacking doesnt increase the chances of anything it just makes it look cool

#

herd management is just killing mid sized bois

#

then the spawns get tricked so they will spawn more big boys so if u continue herd management u will start getting a diamond every 10 kill or less or more
just gotta continue doing it

worthy junco
#

I get what your saying, but in a nutshell you stack the low levels to that higher lvls spawn. I know how Hm works. (Sorry if that came out in a rude way)

glossy hearth
#

well thats named stacking
HM is different

#

HM is just killing mid sized boys its nothing that complicated
it wont increase the chance of a G1 like any other method but it will give u more trophies along the way

#

but yeah if you are just spawning small boys you should go and have a scout maybe u find the G1s drinking zone

worthy junco
#

dude, When someone HM's what do they do? They keep the low levels alive to make higher lvls spawn right? Stacking is keeping animals alive to trick the spawns. And yes I know that HM does not affect great ones, I was saying that I "might" have one on my map due to not stacking lvl 3's to force the lower levels to spawn

glossy hearth
#

well its not stacking thats what im saying
stacking is forcing small ones to be in the same herd on couple of lakes or drink zones
and doing the same thing to diamonds
that isnt herd management
in herd management u dont force anything u only hunt mid boys
but yeah i get what you mean there might be a G1 or a diamond on your map

#

people usually do herd management till bigger boys spawn so they can stack those
but yeah stacking is useless

glossy hearth
#

jaxy beard told me it does nothing but making stuff look cool

#

at least thats what i remember

fiery pelican
#

if you stack 9s you start spawning less 9s and you get less diamonds but you can spawn much more low levels and when you make half of the map low levels you shoot 9s and see youre spawning so many 9s stacking is speeding up your herd management i think

worthy junco
#

Ok in the topic of HM stacking is one of the most important things. You need to stack diamond to force the lower lvls to spawn. Then you kill off those diamonds so you grind the respawns

glossy hearth
#

too complicated for me
ill just continue my simple HM till i feel like i need to learn stacking better

worthy junco
#

ok, if you need help just let me know

full cave
# worthy junco Ok in the topic of HM stacking is one of the most important things. You need to ...

stacking does nothing. they released a patch a while back with a line that said they were resetting the population of a certain animal and in that same line said don't worry this reset won't affect your G1 grind. so how exactly would resetting your population not affect your grind if it mattered at all what you had on the map. and how exactly do people have 3k kills doing this and not see a single G1 but yet dude above got one at 1.2k kills. it's pure RNG. you play how you want, but don't tell people stacking matters.

#

the amount of posts I see of people taking upwards of 2 to 8k kills proves its RNG

pliant oak
#

the problem with that is some people lie exaggerate cheat

#

so its hard to gain what is accurate or not

#

hm helps 100 percent

#

stacking lower levels helps

#

stacking diamonds harms your chances later in grind early on it helps

#

so collect leave lower levels alive and hunt effiecently for best chances of a go

full cave
#

what's the fastest you've seen a G1 come out on your grind?

pliant oak
#

last 4 have been about 700 each

#

with what i described

#

but im selective shooting as well

full cave
#

hmm. I never shoot the small boys anyways. so I assumed the stacking that was being talked about was diamonds. if you're not shooting the small ones doing HM anyways is that really stacking them

pliant oak
#

which many dont do

#

but which is what i learned from my reds

#

well you stack level 2s on fallows

#

get as many as possible

#

once you get over 30 on your map you will get lots of 5s respawn and higher trophy fallow

#

im at about 40 now

#

same with other animals half your pop lower levels then bigger animals spawn quicker

#

GO is rng like diamond

#

but i think its just a elevated chance lower probability

#

thats all

Hello. I'm trying to get a Great one just by killing every male fallow deers I see, and I seem I don't have many diamonds (1 in 150+ males or so). I tried to read the tips in this channel, but it's quite difficult for me, because I don't speak English well and I don't understand the abbreviations you use. Can you give me some guaranteed tips in simple terms? šŸ™ˆ

I see a lot of debate here about how to do it right, but I don’t understand their essence well. Please tell me about the existing opinions on this matter, and I will try to check it for myself.

pliant oak
#

so basically shrink your shooting pool

#

to as low as possible

#

this increases probability of one spawning in theory

#

this is advanced hm

#

😁

full cave
#

I shoot 3 and up for fallow, 6 and up for anything that goes to 9 or 10. I just leave the small ones but I'm shooting the diamonds on sight lol

pliant oak
#

ideally id shoot 5s as well

#

reasoning for that on level 4 - 9 is some will go to 4s

#

more lower levels

#

quicker bigger animals spawn

#

personally i think lower 5s will go to 4s

#

bigger 5s go up

#

i think its like that with all levels

#

a really interesting idea is whether the trophy score makes respawns come back differently

#

so shoot a 5 with wrong ethical gun

#

its a lower level

#

on respawn

#

if that works its quicker to do that to get lower levels

#

but thats theory

full cave
#

I'll try to keep an eye on my diamond spawns when I shoot near miss mythical red deer during my grind. I did shoot an 8 yesterday and then found my first diamond 9 red deer ever

pliant oak
#

my reds i only shoot 7 8 9s now

#

often only 8s 9s if enough

#

diamonds will respawn every few kills

#

other day shot 7 3 diamonds respawned

full cave
#

I'm seeing more 6s than anything atm

pliant oak
#

but my reds are over 6000 kills in hm

#

so takes a while

#

🤣

normal rose
#

For bears I'll shoot 6 and up but for RD I'll take 7+

pliant oak
#

well the thing is you need the lower levels

#

which would be interesting if people check monitor just doing higher levels if....there lower levels increase

normal rose
#

Rn im mostly doing it for the diamond. But once I get a diamond I'll start shooting all the 5s and 6s.

wooden junco
#

Think I only have a handful of bears I can shoot on SRP as once I do a run or 2 theres none left for a while or they are damn hard to find for a few days

full cave
# pliant oak which would be interesting if people check monitor just doing higher levels if.....

so when I started my grind yesterday, I went to about 8 lakes with red deer drink zones, and I have a few late day to night eat zones i monitor, I was shooting 6 and up only, I had one level 4 on my map that I found at that time, I shot a single level 5 and just found a second level 4 at another lake. prior to shooting that 5, only 6s and 7s and 8s were coming back that I could tell. it's only one day and tiny sample pool but, I didn't see a second level 4 until I shot a 5

pliant oak
#

i think as said lower levels of trophy scores just become lower levels

full cave
#

I just shot a 5 at one of my zones, I'll check his score and see if I see another 4 pop up. I have the lake I found the second 4 at recorded in my notepad

#

he's a middle of the road between silver and gold, 136 trophy score so I suppose be could come back either or lol

#

for the grind, how close can I take my ATV before it spooks? I've been abandoning it 500m out from my zone and hoofing it the rest of the way lol

raven rose
#

Im pretty sure animals spook from the ATV noise immediately when they render in

#

Rendering distance is 400 something meters

#

420 meters im pretty sure

plain raptor
#

Using an ATV to grind is not efficient if you don’t want your animals to spook

#

I use it when I need to find bodies fast

raven rose
#

Same

#

For the black bear grind ATV is incredible since you need to hunt as many zones as you can.

#

Recovery tents are not really an option for it

full cave
#

I've been abandoning it about 500m away from drink zones, haven't noticed it spooking my red deer at my zones. I'll stick with that and tent closer if I can becuase 500m trek is a while lol

If they would just condense the population to one half of the map it would be amazing

acoustic cedar
#

Right?!

#

That or increase the number of bears

untold knot
#

And maybe added more males cause there’s SOOO many females

acoustic cedar
#

Fr there is

#

It’s so annoying lol

untold knot
#

I kinda wish they made the G1 bear male and female cause like they don’t have antlers sojj no it could’ve worked

acoustic cedar
#

That would’ve been great

untold knot
#

Ikr

acoustic cedar
#

Then bears wouldn’t be half as bad as they are rn

untold knot
#

Ya they would be good

#

I could kill at least 60 an hour if I killed females too

acoustic cedar
#

I need to see some great one moose and whitetail posted for inspiration lol

untold knot
#

Lol I’m 1.5k into wt on rancho, how many are you in on rev?

acoustic cedar
#

No idea, not counting

untold knot
#

Estimate?

acoustic cedar
#

I try not to count except for new grinds these days

#

Maybe a few hundred

#

Not loads

#

But I have so damn many lvl 1s šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

untold knot
#

I love counting lol. I just keep it in my notes on my phone

#

Lol

#

I couldn’t stand not keeping count lol

acoustic cedar
#

I like counting for the first few, but when I’m a couple in for a species I find it less stressful somehow if I’m not counting

#

Like it feels less stressful because I’m not comparing my grind then I think

untold knot
#

Huh

#

Ya I get that

wooden junco
#

I have to remeber to add em to my phone counter as I zone in and forget

Cause like most G1 wt spawn under 2k and I’m 1.5k in soooo…..

So far I have survived 2 days

Silently taking things with the bow will never get old

Bears are great for bows

#

Just post up on a small lake, call them to you and take em 1 by 1

#

Or sneak up on em both are very effective

full cave
#

man I really wanna start bow hunting but I know nothing at all about it, effective ranges, how to aim, nothing. lol I've got angles and effective ranges down pat for rifles but bows nope

#

@pliant oak just to give a small update, I had 2 level 4 red deer on my zones yesterday when I stayed this grind, shooting exclusively level 6 and up, except for 3 level 5s and I've now got 7 level 4s at drink zones they were not previousy at.

#

2 in the same herd at a drink zone where I shot level 6s the day previously

wooden junco
#

Try out Bows at the archery range or Hirsh range

#

The range is good to get a line on all the weapons. Even figuring out those 300m 22lr shots how high to holdover lol

full cave
wooden junco
#

I always use it on the compounds. It helps to work out range up to 100m too

#

I used it and bow for my 2nd GO

full cave
#

thanks, definitly gonna start. need to respec perks to get some archery stuff

wooden junco
#

I brushed off the ranges for some time thinking what good are they but some shooting fun but then started learning to test the hold range for pistols , bows and shotgun patterning and found it made a big difference.

#

Oh and going there at night with tracer arrows is a bucketload of fun lighting the place up 🤣

pliant oak
#

if level 2 i wouldnt touch it

wooden junco
#

its a PITA to try to shuffle em around that way and hope it spawns right

full cave
#

I thought they came back 1 level higher or lower, my level 4 population of red deer has increased A LOT. I had 2 at all these zones, shot 3 level 5s, the rest have been all 6s, 7s, 8s, and 1 9 and now I have 10 level 4s at all my zones

HAHAHAHAHA

My great one in disguise

That’s like my 4th level 1 black bear in 2,153 kills

So are bears above level 5 on my map lol

i was actually gutted when i shot one by mistake

#

1100 kills was hm

#

went to shoot a 5

#

hit the one which i didnt want to kill

wooden junco
#

funny how you can build an afinity to a lower level regular on a grind. I had a lev 2 red deer I would always pass and say hey buddy on TA

#

If I find a level 1 black bear it will probably become my map buddy too.

#

I feel bad when I shoot a doe now lol, they're so dumb. come right up to callerz without question, they did a good job on making the lower level animals seem really dumb

yeah we had a farm so know that feeling

you do get attached to certain animals

I had caps I felt bad for blasting with the shotgun. They seemed so fun a bird trying their hardest

They cluck and run their little legs all the way over and get puffed up trying to fight you then BLAM

pliant oak
#

i have a diamond one on rev

#

not killed him similar to above

#

need to go check him soon see how hes doing

#

but attacked me numberous times

wooden junco
#

Careful Tyk might kill your pet

raven rose
#

I have noticed a significant decrease in male black bear population, oh no....

#

Now it's happening to me aswell

#

I literally go through almost all water areas they can drink at and still I kill like 6 or something.

wooden junco
#

I found a bunch along the bottom coast line on SRP too. SUch a pain to get those ones especially towards the right where its all sloped and thick scrub

pliant oak
#

the ones on the outer border of the map

#

once you get your hm right you can kinda control where your spawns go

#

takes a while though

wooden junco
#

Took a while but I think I got that region down to all 3s now

#

also one tiny little lake at the bottom of a cone like gradient thats a bit annoying in mid area of the map had to chase em out of

pliant oak
#

a lot is approach or where tents are

#

once you get used to where spawns are you can adjust to suit

wooden junco
#

Yeah some didnt matter what approach made there was a tonne of thick bush to block a good spot on em. Having to zoom in and oout trying to get the damn spot function to work is infuriating especially on the grass around the lakes

#

You know they are in there just cant spot em. After aa while I just charge in with the 454 ready

acoustic cedar
#

So nice to know my moose are still being inconsistent today

#

I feel like the war between me and moose will never end

pliant oak
#

im temped to go back to moose

#

we will see

acoustic cedar
#

And a new zone popped up at this lake

#

1 cow and two 5s

#

Welp

#

One is a troll I think but what a wild sight

blazing flume
#

Is it possible to find a big rack moose from initial spawns?

#

Or are those usually only obtained by doing a grind and them showing up eventually

raven rose
#

Thanks for reminding me

#

I must do a run through that now

blazing flume
#

Man the whitetail grind has just suprising me with monster level 3s

I don't think I've had a single troll yet

I got this giant the other day

Also, checked this tiny area just now, fucking 7 MALE BEARS there like how

acoustic cedar
terse wyvern
#

I have a female there but no males have shown up there

raven rose

Usually what happens is that a place like this is amazing once and then one male max after lol

terse wyvern
#

My males are consistent but they are absolutely all over the place

acoustic cedar
#

Because bears are the literal worst

raven rose
#

I really REALLY should just check every single possible place these guys can drink at because they always spawn at that one place I don't check.

Got it set up nicely only for no bears to ever exist there again

What is with this game giving me massive animals below there max lvl

Had 3 massive mythicals today

Pretty much why if I get a dry spell glut I will grab a couple tents and go over every zone that I wrote off as empty or low levels and recheck em

or at least once a month do a recheck

So tempted to give up on moose I stg

Then I see one of them posted šŸ™ƒ

I dislike medved taiga immensely

It’s making me not want to go for one

But rev seems harder

I’ve been thinking about moving my moose grind to Rev

But I’ll probably do my whitetail on it too and don’t want to get bored of it before I start

Maybe moose on NEM?

My next moose gonna be on Yukon

NEM is so pretty

It hurts me that it’s so bad

Reasons I didn’t buy it: all same animals and sucks for grinding

terse wyvern

Definitely not the most efficient

tame lark

It’s good for the small predators and coons

But a lot of people don’t care for them

Yeah if I go for a gray fox dime I probably do it there

What is bad about grinding on NEM?

terse wyvern

Zones are spread out

tame lark
#

130+ zones

acoustic cedar
#

There’s something big on my map I stg

#

So many 3s turning into 2s

terse wyvern
#

But people also forget you don't have to grind every single zone

acoustic cedar
#

The river is NEMs problem

#

Combined with the fact that moose, bear and whitetail cover the entire map

terse wyvern
#

Well actually unless your doing BB then you have to grind every single zone lmao

acoustic cedar
#

Imagine I find a GO chilling and that’s why my spawns are whack

terse wyvern

That would be nuts

my red deer are getting lazier and lazier about getting to their drink zones šŸ˜…

Nah don't give up! I am just severly unlucky haha

I hope you get it soon. it's still fun I suppose because I'm seeing way more legendary red deer than I would be otherwise and getting more diamonds this way

Well I found absolutely 0 big moose, just one lvl 4 that had respawned into an unused zone

#

But somewhere I currently have 4 zones worth of moose that’ve completely disappeared

I ran around the ice in the north, nothing

Literally checked everywhere now

It does fr

They’re gonna remove them next update

Sad thing is it has definitely slowed, I been grinding all day and only got 20, verses my last 2 days I only grinded for a few hours and managed to get 100

Well if go down at least I can say I went down swinging

aside from a fabled piebald i would say SR albino bobwhite quail is rarest thing in game, no?

tame lark
#

Honestly, SR albino quail is the rarest. There have been piebald GOs but no SR quail

copper coral
#

Why tho, is it just because of their size?

tame lark
#

Rarity and nobody hunts them

#

There have only been a handful of albinos of any level

copper coral
#

Huh no wonder, quails are a pain in the ass

#

At least imo

tame lark
#

I don’t know anyone who thinks they’re easy

copper coral
#

Honestly i just hate any kind of quails not even because they are hard but because of the in the air mechanic

#

Dumbest shit i have ever seen

#

Who cares if i shoot a bird on the ground

tame lark
#

And sometimes it grounds it while in the air

copper coral
#

Are they gonna check it somehow like wtf

#

Who thought that was a good idea

copper coral
#

Small, hard to see, has to be killed in the air, great combo (most likely in some woods or something similiar)

full cave
#

well TA red deer grind started off with a bang, an initial spawn diamond lol

#

They are very easy

tame lark
#

I’d rather hunt something bigger

Quail have some trill to them

#

Most of the upland birds do

#

People have different opinions

tame lark

I love uplands birds, just not the quail too much

copper coral
#

Gotta agree with you here, turkeys and the grouses are one of my fav animals to hunt

#

The quail on the other hand, no thanks

#

Ptarmigan are fun too

#

It's just stubble quail for me that I find kinda annoying

But any other upland bird is fun

copper coral

I can’t ever find rock ptarmigan. Willow I’ve discovered how to hunt them effectively

Never had that much trouble with them

At least the revontuli ones

Any tips for beginner longbow users

terse wyvern

I don't use the longbow much but always make sure you are aware of wind at further ranges, the wind will actually effect your arrow in most instances

normal rose
#

Just learned how to actually activate active perks

#

Now I have access to zeroing and telling wind speed

terse wyvern

For example if the wind is blowing to the right, you will want to aim to the left a little more

Now I will make it every animal's problem

I need to use the traditional bows more
