[daring kindle]

Ahhh I see where ya meant now

That’s like the only good spot on Yukon

[pliant oak]

games not catered for one person

some areas spawn differently

as said animals need to travel

some are close some further

you just need to experiment to see what works for you

layton prime eg

some whitetail dont even turn up

same with medved

bears on srp too

some notice it some dont

[acoustic cedar]

I’m once again banging my head against the wall with bears

I know they hurt me every time but I can’t leave them alone

Ree

[full cave]

i’m not gonna lie

i haven’t been on cotw or video games at all in like the last 4 days or so

and i’ve never enjoyed life more

i give it 3 or so days until i’m shooting 300 fallow a day though

[low shoal]

So

Kill them all

[full cave]

this is becuase your dopamine receptors from gaming are depleted. doing anything that rewards us has diminishing returns.

gaming is constant rewards. and your dopamine receptors can only produce so much dopamine.

[signal sun]

Bro went all out science on that guy

[acoustic cedar]

I HATE BEARS

Like some actually started showing up

Then off they go

Into the void

Never to be seen again

Reeee

[untold knot]

Sadness

[full cave]

I've done a lot of research on this subject because of my own mental health lol

[signal sun]

Oh haha, thats coll tho!

*cool

good on you mate

[full cave]

mental health is super important and a lot of people don't even realize how bad it is until it's too late

[gritty tendon]

my layton whitetail

i don’t get it

[acoustic cedar]

It’s bizarre

[gritty tendon]

i’ll get a good run or two and then it’ll go back to being broken for a little bit and then go back to good for a run or two and break again

[untold knot]

Ummmmmmmmmm

[full cave]

On Hirsch

Interesting

[untold knot]

Yea from my grind lol

[gusty blade]

I’d like to thank Mel for igniting the fire under my butt to grind moose again

[plain raptor]

Lucky af

[full cave]

Oooh pretty

[craggy vigil]

How do y’all find such high levels 😭

[daring kindle]

Hunting for them

[craggy vigil]

Y’all see to find them so easily

[daring kindle]

A lot of us here a grinding for GOs so we get a lot on our grinds

[stark nimbus]

nobody posts the small ones haha, this channel has the instagram effect

you only see the good stuff

[craggy vigil]

Still it’s the same people

[full cave]

@craggy vigil hard grinding is the only way your going to get good trophies so people that are persistent in their grind will get more trophies

My superrare moose took about 4000 kills and 45 dimes which for a super rare is honestly on the fast side

My super rare bear took like 8500 kills

[full cave]

Grinding

Looking

Multiplayer

[wooden junco]

This chat being dedicated to the grind, for each 1 pic someone posts here they could have gone through hundreds of kills just to get, or thousands if a GO pic.

[signal sun]

Is there a max amount of rounds you can have for a caliber?

[glossy cove]

Nope. I bought 20k 303 rounds in 2021, just got under 1k this year

Only cost 1.7mil to buy that much

[signal sun]

Geeezzzzz

thats a crap ton

ok good to know lol

[rigid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/money-burn-cash-shoveling-gif-5348644

[wooden junco]

Imagine buying all those rounds and an update broke that gun 🤣

[full cave]

luckily since it's a paid dlc they'd fix it real fast.

[signal sun]

😳

I might be looking at my first lvel 4 dia of the grind

237-278

[full cave]

good luck. all of those turn out to never be diamonds for me. I see diamond potential 4s, or 8s all the time. never make it. hope yours does

[signal sun]

Ahhhh thats ;like my 5th massive level 4 that hasnt made it

😭

I had one that was 248.91 a while ago

this guy was 240

[full cave]

well,if lady luck is on your side it'll respawn as a diamond

[signal sun]

frfr 😂

[signal sun]

holy crap

just got back to that zone

almost thought i got a g1

looked so much like a mocha blade rack

lol

but its a chocholate and the way its head was angled looked like a blade rack 🤣

[full cave]

ah that would have been dope lol

[signal sun]

Yesssss my hm is finnaly starting to kick in! Big 4s keep spawning

and pretty consistent too!

Ha hahaha

i say that

and then vey next zone

my first level 1 spawns

🤦‍♂️

welp im managing that zone down now

[full cave]

no no level 1s are good

you want low levels, because the game balances.

my go red deer showed up when I had A LOT of level 4s, and some level 3s and a few 2s on my map at around 1200 to 1300 kills. the game attempts to balance. but then Mel said she only shot level 4 moose yesterday and left 3s and got another moose spawn but, low levels are good lol

and also, I feel that comment becuase I just said I have never gotten a level 4 or 8 to spawn a diamond and a Moose just made diamond for me at 4 lol

[pale oracle]

Debating on shooting bears for 7+ hours today… help meh xD

[plucky grove]

@pale oracle do you got a moose Layton guide by chance?

[pale oracle]

Nah still too early in my grinding to make a good guide

[full cave]

what an incredible specimen of a bull

[full cave]

did you wake up and think "I hate myself today"

[signal sun]

Nono ik, I a making that zone all low levels now...

Just managing it all down

Then take down that set up

And set up at a diff zone

[untold knot]

Do it!!!

[plucky grove]

How many moose zones should I have on med ved

[pliant oak]

dont worry about how many really

just check locations

it will vary from player to player

get main ones grind them

then every now and then check other locations if it seems like spawns are in them

[plucky grove]

K thanks,any other dips for moose

[gritty tendon]

i think there's somewhere around 100 moose zones on medved give or take some

[plucky grove]

Ok sweet thx I got about that,and what's considered a solo for moose clearly 1 but I heard if it's a male and a female it can be a solo also

[pliant oak]

if herd managing just shoot 3 4 5s

[plucky grove]

Who thinks I should herd manage,it worked good for fallow, maybe I'll do it for moose

[signal sun]

for hm does the weight of the deer matter of just the level?

like say i got level 2 fallow bucks that are 60 whatever it is to 82 kgs does it matter that they are heavier than the 47-62 or whateverkgs those ones are?

like is there a difference in hm affects?

[daring kindle]

Weight doesn’t matter I do believe

[signal sun]

ok thanks!

[plucky flare]

Wait till ya see a lvl 1 bull

[full cave]

you mean like this guy?

[plucky flare]

That's a big 1 lol I can barely tell the 1 I saw from the females from 50yds away

[terse wyvern]

How's everyone's grinds going

[daring kindle]

Slow

Very slow

I’m 66 kills into moose

They’re big tanks

[wooden crypt]

LETS GOOOO I HAVE THE G1s in the game now! (All the species)!

[acoustic cedar]

Congratulations!!!

[full cave]

@wooden crypt I was thinking about doing that but I just hate risking leaving them all on the map because two times my srp completely reset out of the blue

[wooden crypt]

Thanks Mel!

[wooden crypt]

Gotcha, Well I’m gonna shoot him tomorrow and haven’t had problems with that so I think I’m all good. But I get ya.

[regal cosmos]

oh yes!

[acoustic cedar]

Ayoooo congratulations

still no super rare lol

[pliant oak]

number 214

[full cave]

@pliant oak i got my albino superrare in like 180 dimes I got pretty lucky according to statistics it should on average take 600 diamonds to get superrare

[long bison]

Congrats

I just need fallow and bear

[wooden crypt]

Thanks dude!

[wooden crypt]

Best of luck!

[visual glen]

2.7 k kills into the fallow grind, 69 dimes, 7 pies 0 SR and 0 Go 🥲

[pliant oak]

are you herd managing

[visual glen]

Yes

Nearly every male is a lvl 2 or lower the only ones higher are my shooting males

[pliant oak]

ahh you been unlucky

good luck hope you get one soon

🍀

[visual glen]

Thx at least the dimes spawn consistent 😅

[signal sun]

if i have a level 3 thats smaller than a level 2 both in the same zone

can that level 3 just stay if im doing hm?

since his score is so small?

[signal sun]

AHHHH

CRAP

I JUST SKIPPED A HARVESTED A LEVEL 4 DIAMOND SO FAST CUZ I DIDNT THINK HE WAS MAKING IT

thank goodness u can tax ur most recent harvest

[raven rose]

Oh you can do that?! Man, would have been good to know when I did the same thing on a mela red deer a while ago 💀

[signal sun]

Haha, ye all u got to do is go to ur trophy lodge then go to trophy manager and then at the top above ur list of taxed animals it shows ur most recent harvest and gives the ability to tax it...

[signal sun]

^^ if someone knows plz respond...

[azure valve]

Yes you can leave small 3s that could have been level 2s, however you can’t just go off of the estimate to make that decision. I’m assuming you’re grinding fallow so I’ll just say that there’s a few level 2 racks that are occasionally level 3s that can stay for hm. Your gonna have to look at the rack and determine if you’ve seen it on a level 2 before.

[full cave]

@signal sun I wouldn't leave it if it is an auto troll

If it has potential tho then leave it

[gusty blade]

Should I be concerned about any ritualistic activity?

[north nova]

Probably rehearsing their acrobatic act

[gusty blade]

If so, she hit that hand stand perfectly. Never once did that cow break position😂

[north nova]

The show will be a ✨ H I T ✨

I heard they were considering Lynx on trapeze as an addition

just cat-wheeling through the air above the moose

[signal sun]

Ok thanks!

Good to know moving forward and for onec I get back online again!

[naive thorn]

Winter is coming 😱

[full cave]

just moose things. I have a screenshot from yesterday of a male doing the same thing on a rock to drink water.

[pliant oak]

they can do it on rocks objects or other animals

[pliant oak]

hmm fallow or moose fancy some moosey

[daring kernel]

GREAT ONE FALLOW??!!! FINALLY!!!

PAINTED BLADE

[full cave]

Congrats

[full cave]

Ooh

Pretty

[daring kernel]

4.2k kills

Roughly

[crimson sky]

i wish i had te awaroa'

[crimson sky]

beatiful

[daring kernel]

I'm just happy it wasn't the Mickey Mouse rack 😂

Would have preferred the irish elk but this is a close second 🤩

[crimson sky]

frr

[full cave]

Mickey mouse rac?

[daring kernel]

The spoon rack 😅 I call it Mickey Mouse rack

[full cave]

Ohhh

Lol

[full cave]

Looks like the local moose cheerleading squad to me

[pliant oak]

thats a close to perfect combo for me

congrats

[whole comet]

That looks so sick, I now want a panted

[daring kernel]

Thank you 😄

[blissful willow]

Hey, so unless I'm just dumb, which is very possible, but is someone getting 3 GO Moose within 27 minutes of each other suspicious?

[stray peak]

yes, very

unless they were stacking

[north nova]

Or very lucky with MP hopping

But yeah I would say it's sus

[crude spindle]

Bro has a gif

[signal sun]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-among-us-suspi-gif-25732650

Huh

How did cryptic send one

[high heath]

download the gif then upload as a file

[signal sun]

Ohhhhh

Makes sense lol

[wooden junco]

Nope use the gif option on the android keypad not the discord gif option

But uploading does work too

[limpid ether]

How do u get a great one

[daring kindle]

Grind

Kill multiple animals of that species and claim them

[full cave]

Does anyone have an up-to-date zone map for moose on layton

[limpid ether]

Does that hurt the animal?

[crude spindle]

Well considering they’re not real, no?

[low shoal]

Bruh

[full cave]

I mean I have this one not sure if it's outdated

And it broke

Hold on

embed perms are disabled for normies btw

[full cave]

I know that but I sent the image normally

[rigid forge]

ah

[full cave]

This has happened before

Oh there it worked

[normal rose]

layton lookin GO grindable as hell with just outposts

[normal rose]

massacre high level of a certain species until a GO spawns

[normal rose]

i want a medved one so bad, i might grind moose on medved and layton

[full cave]

You should

Spin a wheel

[full cave]

Really simple just grind

At the moment the only great ones are red deer fallow whitetail moose and black bear

[crude spindle]

Enable the gif keyboard exception coward

[wooden crypt]

Got ‘em down!

[rigid forge]

I don’t call the shots around here

[crude spindle]

I know 😦

I’m crying into the void

[full cave]

I love that rac

[wooden crypt]

It a great rack!

[normal rose]

my favorite of the GO whitetail rakcs

[wooden crypt]

Great rack For sure!

[acoustic cedar]

I actually shot a decent few bears tonight

Including two diamonds, one max

[untold knot]

Sameeeeee I shot like 46 today

Brought me up to 2,780

46 in like 1 hr 10 minutes

[acoustic cedar]

Goddamn

You wanna know something wild???

I deadass watched a bear come in to its drink zone at 23:59, it didn’t even get the “drinking” state to come up, it hit 00:00, and that bear turned around and left. It got there, with under 60 seconds of drink time left, and then immediately turned around to leave again.

I’m actually gonna put that incident in #1126233978643423304

Because that’s severely borked

[untold knot]

Ya a lot of them are borked

I'm gonna try and load up my top left of the map with males only by zone swapping and then only hunt there

To maybe kill 60 an hour lol

[gritty tendon]

i’ve had bears come in a minute or two after their drink time before

[full cave]

That's hilarious lmao

He wasn't that thirsty I guess

[balmy fossil]

I’ve had bears drinking way past there drink times

Not complaining about that tbh

[pliant oak]

yeah animals can still stay around after drink times for all species

[pliant oak]

number 2 of new grind

[wooden crypt]

No way Mel 🤣

[gritty tendon]

1500 kills into the layton whitetail grind

total of somewhere around 2200 - 2400 kills between rev before it messed up and layton together

2 SRs before a GO

[signal sun]

no shot this just happened

I just killed a massive level 4 fallow

and he was 249.15 so he didnt make it

🥹

[signal sun]

Congratsssss!!!

[gritty tendon]

ty

[acoustic cedar]

Legit

[acoustic cedar]

Ayooo congratulations!!

Gonna shoot a few now and see if bears actually exist today

[gritty tendon]

ty mel

[low shoal]

Bruh idk if my grind set up is any good

[wary mason]

Congrats on the sr

[gritty tendon]

ty

[edgy tree]

So many deer at this 1 zone

[acoustic cedar]

GREAT ONE WHITETAIL

EEEE

[crude spindle]

Yay! Good job

[acoustic cedar]

I’m so surprised because this grind was going to hell lmaooo

Thank you so much

It’s the kinsko rack again but looks different to my last one

No droptine rack for me lmao

I’m so pumped ugh my heart

[crude spindle]

I need to get back on them

[gritty tendon]

congrats mel

hoping mine spawns soon

[rigid forge]

you need professional help

[wooden crypt]

LETS GOOOOO MEL!

[acoustic cedar]

I have a smol addiction

[acoustic cedar]

Eeee

[wooden crypt]

So happy for ya! That’s how many G1 whitetail?

Gonna shoot some lions for cash.

[acoustic cedar]

In a statement I never thought I’d make…this is my 10th.

Still missing that elusive droptine rack 🖤 and the big typical boi

[plucky grove]

Congratulations,how many kills did it take?

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much! Not sure, no more than 200 I’d reckon.

Could be more tho…I don’t count anymore with these grinds

[plucky grove]

I'm at 2k , still hoping for one

[smoky olive]

Meanwhile I’m on 10k 😭

[crude spindle]

Any management?

[plucky grove]

I'm not complaining with 2k then ,10k is devastating

[smoky olive]

Yep, for the first 5k I used herd management, then switched it up

Just for reference 10k is more than scarecrows bear grind, and that took forever lol

[high heath]

@acoustic cedar i swear

every time i look at yt posts or this discord and just scroll for 2 seconds BOOM you have a new great one or super rare

your luck really turned around huh

[crude spindle]

What like no management or light management?

[smoky olive]

Light

[crude spindle]

10k light brings me pain

I’m sorry friend

[untold knot]

Me at 2,771 😑

[acoustic cedar]

You managing?

[crude spindle]

I love how we went from not liking management and trying to be purists to “Omg you must you must”

[acoustic cedar]

Tbh I don’t care anymore

The fate of HM was decided

I got informed about shooting smols being likely a negative affect and..here we are

I just can’t bring myself to do something against what I’m working on/towards

Now I’ll go shoot more bears I guess lmao

Was only on whitetail for a smol bit

[full cave]

I used to not want to do it because I didn't feel like doing all that hard work to get it setup

But honestly light management has been helping me a lot in these grinds

[untold knot]

Nah not for wt. I’m doing it on rancho for fun so it would be impossible

I hm some things but not all

I just have bad luck with all grinds

[acoustic cedar]

Understandable!

[daring kernel]

Well, my fallow grind took way over 4000 kills to get a GO with HM. So I'm still not fully convinced that HM helps with GOs.

Or maybe I was just unlucky 💁‍♂️

[acoustic cedar]

It definitely does

This is my 14th in like a month and a half

Compared to 12 in several years without management

It’s beyond coincidence

[gritty tendon]

i haven’t gotten any GO in about a month or so

whitetail just don’t want me to have another

[crude spindle]

This ^

[acoustic cedar]

It’s definitely still partly RNG tho

Like I’ve speculated I reckon it’s just a diamond spawn that re rolls to a great one

So it makes sense if you have bad RNG that you just take longer to get that roll

[normal rose]

once i get my own setup

thats when i'll start grinding for GOs officially

Bear in Layton and SRP (Double map) (Will grind mountain lions and bison alongside them)
Moose in Layton and Medved (Double map) (Will grind brown bears alongside them)
Whitetail in Rancho (will grind bobcats and coyotes alongside them)
Fallow and Red deer in Te Awaora (hybrid grind of both)

may also grind both fallow and red deer in emerald coast with the excuse of also grinding sambar, hog deer, kangaroo, crocodile, rusa alongside them

i should check on my crocs actually

[daring kernel]

Were you grinding as much back then?

[acoustic cedar]

I’d say nearly as much overall yes.

[normal rose]

at this rate your next GO whitetail may be a fabled piebald with the rack u want

[daring kernel]

Ok. I wonder if the overall chance of spawning one has ever been changed

Like was it less likely to get one, say 1 year ago

Idk

[acoustic cedar]

I sincerely doubt it. Grinding has just been extremely refined

[acoustic cedar]

I’d literally die

[normal rose]

been doin herd management on saltwater crocs and man

i see results

no diamonds or rares yet! but im seeing a lotta high lvls

[normal rose]

ok i take this back

seeing 5s and 7s mostly this run

only one mythical, saw 4 last time

[daring kernel]

Could you estimate, across all species and grinds you've done, whats the average number of kills it takes to get a great one?

[pliant oak]

used to be about 1500 - 2000 avg with none hm

[wooden junco]

Doubr you will find an average some even new fallow some in 500 some in 5k

[pliant oak]

with hm done correctly its often under a 1000

[wooden junco]

Gday Ron

[pliant oak]

so hm and collecting is best way tbh

as for does it help i think go isnt that complicated tbh just like a diamond but rarer chance of spawn

so like a elevated diamond

[pliant oak]

hi

[wooden junco]

My 1st GO managing red was 4500+ my 2nd came 121 after that. Moose came in just under 1300 with a pai ful HM situation lol. Currently just over 1k on fallow as I quit for a while so will see how goes lol

Bears I will not discuss 🤣

[pliant oak]

theres also deeper herd management selective shooting

which most dont do

so when you get your hm to a certain point only shoot the highest levels

then you only have to kill a few each run to get diamonds or maybe a go spawn

ive perfected this on my reds

fallows are not far off

[wooden junco]

My fallows I think became similar to my moose. I managed the herds but most high levels are solos and the 2's slotted into the groups 🤦‍♂️

Thinking about going arou d selectivly shooting some 2s out of groups and pushing in highers now to stabilise a bit more

[pliant oak]

i wouldnt worry about it tbh as long as you have the population of level 2s it dont matter

my moose grind on rev is pretty advanced but been busy with fallows

so will return to that at some point soon

[wooden junco]

Just a PITA as they are spread and solos keep moving around a bit much for my liking

[pliant oak]

just gotta get half pop of level 2s

then dont really matter

[wooden junco]

I decided to start grinding again on small scale this week lol. Few rounds of fallow maybe a couple of bear then switch games to keep my sanity

[pliant oak]

also if in groups and doing it regular you will start to remember where to go

and can leave the twos

[wooden junco]

It seems I am no longer spawni g lowers they appear stable just not where I want em

2s make up the majority of my grouped fallow but my shooters are solos by majority in effect killing the zone each time kill em. I check the need zones before I pick em up and yeah they all single zoning like my moose problem 😂

[pliant oak]

you can move them around but with right tent placement its not really needed on fallows

[full cave]

Honestly

I've been looking at the spider rac a few times

And ngl it's starting slowly to grow on me

[normal rose]

im still not a fan

nothing can get me to like it

[signal sun]

i dont normally do this

but how do i get the same animal to respawn?

like if u mess up a trophy

how do i get it to come back

@pliant oak ^^^

could you help?

it has died already

but it was really big 😭

or @acoustic cedar do you know?

it was like for sure a 270 potential dia fallow

screw it, whatever

ill just own it ig

[north nova]

As far as I am aware, once dead, there is no redo.

[signal sun]

Well people say that you can like pick up and then main menu or smth like that

that it will respawn as the same animal

but idk exactly what to do...

like when lady messed up her g1 her chat was telling her to main menu but i dont know how it works

[north nova]

They were telling her to essentially SaveScum

i.e.

Quit the game before it dies for a fast reset

[signal sun]

Ohhhhh

[north nova]

because if you leave before it dies, it'll revert it.

Or something

[signal sun]

🤦‍♂️

i mean good to know ig

[north nova]

but that said, its cheaty af

[signal sun]

its tru

i do agree with that

[north nova]

I mean not technically? cos like.. its a Doable thing.. but

if you flub a shot, you flub a shot, yknow?

you dont get to take the bullet back irl

[signal sun]

but i feel like say i messed up a sr i feel like i would do it sadly

[signal sun]

its tru

[north nova]

I mean, do what you're gonna do.
I get the appeal, trust me.

[normal rose]

you can only respawn it if its a mission animal (ex. Ogro)

[signal sun]

well what tyk just said im pretty sure works...

[normal rose]

thats just undoing a bad shot

you can ressurect a mission animal

[pliant oak]

exploit if you mess it up sorry legit play its gone

best to take time and make sure shots good

[signal sun]

Ik

from now on imma just take my time

i was sure it was a perfect shot

idk how it hit so low

[visual glen]

3 k kills, 78 dimes, 7 rares and 0 SR and GO in the fallow grind. Never had a grind over 3 k ... hope he spawns soon

[gritty tendon]

1700 kills into layton whitetail

no GO yet

hoping for it to not surpass 2k

[plucky grove]

I'm at 2k on rev it's depressing but there's nothing you can do about it sadly

[gritty tendon]

yeah my rev broke so i switched to layton

i’d be further along if my layton didn’t half way break too

[acoustic cedar]

First bear I spot today is a 9

Not bad

And it’s floated to the centre of this lake and stopped

What the heck game 😂

[icy dawn]

Lmao you better pray it's a troll

[acoustic cedar]

I hope

[normal rose]

jesus bear

[crude spindle]

Get off srp and edit my whitetail documentary 😡😡😡

@midnight yew how have bears been for you? Seems like you’ve gotten a few recently

Are they consistent?

[acoustic cedar]

I just posted it!!

Ok so I left render and came back and it’s on the shore now

Yay

It was a diamond lol

[full cave]

Whitetail documentary?

[acoustic cedar]

My great one video aha

[full cave]

Oooh

[crude spindle]

Mel does a full bbc special on each great one after all

[full cave]

I might watch it now

I'm Curious on what you mean

Oh I read bbq

I'm stupid

[crude spindle]

Not stupid

Hungry

I haven't ate

[crude spindle]

Mel got the food dlc early

[acoustic cedar]

Another legendary

Oh boi

He also is a diamond

This is…encouraging

[acoustic cedar]

Damnnnnn another 9

[ornate shore]

So lucky

[acoustic cedar]

And he made it too

Three diamonds tonight

Oh boiii

[ornate shore]

Congrats

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much!!

[normal rose]

damn i still need a diamond bear

[full cave]

Have you gotten Mr black yet?

[normal rose]

not yet! i am getting there tho

did the photography mission, his estimate is 20-23

however since hes a mission animal my guess is that i can kill him and respawn him until hes diamond. i just have to not accept harvest if he trolls

[low shoal]

I'm almost there

I'm Abt missions in for the elk rn

[full cave]

Oh damn

Yeah I think you can

[full cave]

Best of luck to both of you

Do you know how many mission I have to do until I get the elk

[midnight yew]

I got 35-40 bears per one rotation. I followed ibuy method bear grind.

[crude spindle]

And it shows!

[full cave]

The 300 really melts through red deer

[low shoal]

Bruh I turn rabbits int mist with it

[full cave]

No rabbits on parque

[low shoal]

Dam

[full cave]

This map is loaded with red deer

It's insane

[low shoal]

I just want this diamond elk

[normal rose]

using a 300 on a rabbit is actual insanity

no more damn meat on that thing

[low shoal]

I'm grounded so I couldn't get on today not even supposed to be on my phone but what ever

[low shoal]

I used it on a turkey and still got 736 from it

[crude spindle]

I think every map should have rabbits tbh

[low shoal]

Most do

[full cave]

That thing would be dust

[full cave]

What rabbits would be on every map that doesn't have em

[normal rose]

european rabbit in emerald coast

cottontail in parque (yes south america does have a cottontail species)

alaskan hare or snowshoe hare for yukon

(alaskan hares are big they get to be 6-12 pounds iirc)

what maps am i missing

[full cave]

Snowshoe hares are so adorable I cannot bring myself to shoot one

proceeds to exterminate the entire species

Also medved

You missed medved

Srp

Yeah just medved and srp

[normal rose]

mountain hare i think

for medved

and srp can also get cottontail or snowshoe\

[full cave]

So nothing new

There's 5 species I legit would grind for so much if they actually came to the game lol

[low shoal]

Hehe I would shoot one with a slug of I could cuz I'm pretty sure thats illegal

[full cave]

It's probably illegal irl but also cruel and wasteful

[low shoal]

If they where a pest I would care but if I'm shooting them for any other reason it is to eat

[normal rose]

pest or not, utilize all it has to offer

it's still a life

if you kill it just to kill it, its murder

[low shoal]

It would be utilized as fertilizer for my plants

[normal rose]

it is my belief that would be just disrespectful to the life taken

[gusty blade]

A Great One right before theAngler drops? Don’t mind if I do!😋

[gusty blade]

This guy is drop dead gorgeous😍

[crude spindle]

Congratulations very cool!

Weird combo too

Am I insane or does hooded kind of look like a tapir?

[north nova]

...good news. You have found a photo of a baby tapir.

Unless you're comparing the adult to the fallow??

In which case yeah kinda, fur wise?

[gusty blade]

Kinda funny that I can kinda see it now. What’s also funny is that all the fabled moose furs essentially turn them into horses with antlers😂.

No disrespect to the moose though, they’re my favorite g1’s

[north nova]

😂

CotW Community: WE WANT HORSES 🐴 WE WANT HORSES 🏇
CotW Devs: We gave you Honses when you got the Moose.

[gusty blade]

A tour through my lodge is like a day at the stables for me😂

I can’t be the only one that saw the resemblances to horses right?

[north nova]

Imagine

all these rare moose

and its an amazing lodge

makes news, gets interviews

reporters just show up, find the lodge owner sitting behind the withers of a moose - yelling GIDDYAP

but yeah, I could see it lmao

we got the appaloosas, blanket and full body

the bald faces

the one jug headed mustang herd stallion who's fought a billion other stallions

[pure turtle]

Sorry I know this is the wrong place any of u know how to fix the angler not downloading on xbox

[north nova]

and the really fancy akhal-teke with bronze socks

[north nova]

Are you a part of the Angler Discord?

[pure turtle]

No

[north nova]

holup a second

I would go ask them there -

[pure turtle]

Thanks Tyk

[north nova]

There are bound to be other Console friends trying to also predownload or whatever

[gusty blade]

“That boy ain’t right” is what the news headlines will read😂

[north nova]

"What is the differential between hunting alone, and a spiraling descent into madness? Tonight, we interview one lone hunter amongst his trophies..."

[gusty blade]

Idk why these are my thoughts at 5am, but here we are😂. Who’s to say the g1 black bears really aren’t just painted circus dogs?

[north nova]

Tibetan Mastiffs**

Also, if you've yet to go to sleep I vte its sleep deprivation

vote*

if you have slept, y'just aren't awake yet

[gusty blade]

My thought exactly lmao. And yeah just had a high anxiety day. Started school for a career in trucking and totally didn’t expect to get a great one tonight. Gonna try and get some sleep😅

[north nova]

haha best of luck! Rest up and give us a good photo session of the GO later on 🙂

[pliant oak]

hows the grinding going all ?

hopefully get back on the fallows later

[glossy cove]

I want that Texas lodge in cotw now

[gritty tendon]

first run of the day and he's here finally

1712 kills

[signal sun]

Congrats!

[signal sun]

Oooo now that you pu that in my head, I really want that too

[gritty tendon]

ty

[sly rivet]

how many diamonds u got

of whitetail

[gritty tendon]

a lot

i'd guess maybe around 30-50ish

[full cave]

Tapir are adorable

[full cave]

The heart rac

Congrats

I'ma probably start calling it the Valentine's rac

[gritty tendon]

ty

whitetail racks have so many different names for each one

[crude spindle]

Just the striping on the babies look similar that’s all

Not 1:1 or anything but I’d be shocked if it wasn’t an influence

Even subconsciously

[full cave]

I find it cool when babies have a different color/ability than the parents as a form of survival

For example deer and tapir having spots and stripes cheetas having colors of honey Badgers and komodo dragon babies being able to climb trees nature is very interesting

[gritty tendon]

my game's glitched and is now playing GO music after every kill i claim

[weak falcon]

My first and only great one! Idk if white tail great ones have a higher chance to be albino but I thought I would share because I am proud of my kill lol.

[sly rivet]

great ones can be albino?

didnt know that

[dry spire]

Isn't that like an ultra rare?

[sly rivet]

can they be mela or piebald

[crude spindle]

You joined the server today and post an ultra rare?

You better have some evidence

They stopped typing 🤨

[weak falcon]

I will answer ur questions inna sec Im on the phone

[dry spire]

👀

[crude spindle]

@acoustic cedar what do you think?

[sly rivet]

how many kills

[crude spindle]

Wait until they prove it’s legit first

[sly rivet]

that does look hella cool tho

[dry spire]

Watch him go M.I.A

[iron valve]

last time an albino was killed was when rancho fur was bugged

highly doubt it's legit

[dry spire]

Is it actually possible to get an albino whitetail GO?

[sly rivet]

is there like a counter to see how many people have ultra rares?

[weak falcon]

Ok im back

[iron valve]

seeing as it's not a harvest screen it's prolly a normal GO that turned albino during rancho

[weak falcon]

how do i prove its legit

idk about this stuff

[iron valve]

harvest screen latest harvest

[stark nimbus]

Single player? Or multiplayer?

[weak falcon]

I play by myself

[dry spire]

Go into codex 🙂

[weak falcon]

is there something i can show that proves i dont hack?

[stark nimbus]

A screenshot of the harvest screen would be good, bc if that's real then that's crazy

[weak falcon]

what do i do in there

im in it

[stark nimbus]

Latest harvests

[dry spire]

^yep

[weak falcon]

if it only shows my most recent kill that is not my most recent

i just realized i had a lodge

[stark nimbus]

When did you get your Go?

[weak falcon]

layton

[dry spire]

When not where🤣

[iron valve]

when

[weak falcon]

oh

im dumb

[dry spire]

You're okay!

[iron valve]

what date does it say in the lodge

[weak falcon]

I took a break from the game a while back and ive only come back to it recently when i moved to college so i think its gonna be a while back

one sec finding date

[iron valve]

sounds like the rancho fur bug to me

[sly rivet]

you get it before collage right

[stark nimbus]

Did that bug affect all maps at the time?

[weak falcon]

damn ive had this game for a while it was 2021 August 2nd

[iron valve]

it affected all wt killed during that time

yep

Rancho bug

[dry spire]

It's possible

[iron valve]

it was originally a normal fur

[weak falcon]

yeah

[stark nimbus]

Damn, that's a special deer then

Congrats

[sly rivet]

so shot it normal and it changed to albino?

[weak falcon]

now im confused

one guy said bug

[iron valve]

yep

[weak falcon]

other dude congratulated me

[dry spire]

If it changed then it was a bug

[iron valve]

@acoustic cedar can u explain the fur bug better then I can?

[sly rivet]

it was normal when you shot right

like normal fur type

[weak falcon]

its been 2 years

I dont remember

[sly rivet]

oh

[weak falcon]

sorry

[sly rivet]

your good

nice trophy tho

[weak falcon]

thanks

[crude spindle]

So you killed it years ago?

[weak falcon]

yeah

i took a break from the game

came back recently

saw i had a lodge

[crude spindle]

And then you came back and it was albino

[sly rivet]

does it say the original fur type in codex or not

[crude spindle]

It’s still not an ultra rare in that case

[sly rivet]

i dont know the game that well

[crude spindle]

It’s still a great one

[weak falcon]

idk if it was albino before or not

[crude spindle]

@sly rivet the codex doesn’t go back that far

[weak falcon]

is there a way to tell?

[sly rivet]

oh

[iron valve]

do u have a picture form when u killed it

[crude spindle]

It’s kind of baffling to me that you wouldn’t remember getting a great one?

[weak falcon]

its been 2 years lmao

[crude spindle]

Considering they’re the most special thing in the game

[weak falcon]

my bad

[crude spindle]

Basically you joined the discord and posted a potentially 1 in 30 million trophy

[weak falcon]

yep

didnt know it was rare today

[crude spindle]

You can see why this would be sus

[weak falcon]

was watchig roosters stream

[crude spindle]

Did you used to play multiplayer?

[weak falcon]

scarecrow said only one has been seen

so i thought id try to post mine

[iron valve]

urs is from the rancho bug

[crude spindle]

You know what you can do

[iron valve]

the times add up and everything

[tame lark]

There has never been a legit albino GO

[iron valve]

their has

[crude spindle]

Yes there has

[iron valve]

one

[crude spindle]

Guys

[weak falcon]

scarecrow said 1

[crude spindle]

Just wait one sec

[tame lark]

LC’s was deemed illegitimate

[normal rose]

no iirc only the standard colors and piebald

[sly rivet]

had there been mela or piebald great one?

[crude spindle]

Lmfao how?

[north nova]

Regarding the fur bug...

[tame lark]

There have been legit pies but never a legit albino

[weak falcon]

doesnt seem like mine is real

unfortunate

[tame lark]

Ask Ron

[weak falcon]

but a GO nonetheless

[crude spindle]

@weak falcon send a screenshot with the trophy information

Like when you’re inspecting it

It’s the only info you can give

[north nova]

The making of Rancho mixed up some code, the devs tinkered it, and it botched some of the current Great Ones

Turned normals into URs

[iron valve]

^

[north nova]

I think Mel has one or two that got conked and she only has them as antler mounts because of it

[tame lark]

Crow has one

[sly rivet]

if your go is glitched does it stay like that forever or can you like change it back

[north nova]

Forever

[normal rose]

so its a limited edition trophy nice

[crude spindle]

No

It’s not

[iron valve]

not limited edition

[crude spindle]

Because it’s possible

[tame lark]

Except it’s not legit

[iron valve]

just a bug

[north nova]

There have been like.. literally 1 or 2 legitimate pied GOs

[crude spindle]

Why is LC all of the sudden not legit

I’m so confused

[tame lark]

Idk but that’s what Ron told me

[iron valve]

I guess cause it was a weird time

[normal rose]

so wait albino GO whitetail can be legitimately acquired?

[north nova]

to find a pied GO makes you elite

[tame lark]

Maybe

[crude spindle]

To find an albino GO makes you God

[iron valve]

Ron has suspicions but doesn't know fs

[north nova]

It stands to reason if Pied exists, so to do Albino and Mela editions, right?

[dry spire]

The more ya know

[north nova]

at least, that's my take on it

[weak falcon]

@crude spindle is this the thing u wanted?

[tame lark]

He said a group of grinders came together and deemed it illegitimate

[crude spindle]

Yeah

I believe that is around rancho release

[weak falcon]

darn

rancho my least favorite map now

and ive never played it

[crude spindle]

My reccomendation

Put it on a wall mount and make it antlers

It’ll save you a lot of questioning

But you do you

Glad you didn’t hack tho

[weak falcon]

i dont see the point in hacking in any game

takes the fun out of it

[iron valve]

I could get 10 people to say ur not legitimate it doesn't mean it's true

[north nova]

woah woah woah

[tame lark]

It makes more sense it isn’t legit than it is

[north nova]

thems fightin words

[crude spindle]

A group of grinders can come together and ligma

[north nova]

callin folks illegitimate

😂

[iron valve]

lmao

[crude spindle]

I’m not taking the word of Lego kid as truth, they didn’t want to go to Barbie 😔

[iron valve]

the thing with lc is he had video proof

[tame lark]

I’ve seen plenty of videos of modded animals

[crude spindle]

LC stands for Long Con I guess

[tame lark]

It just doesn’t seem right

[crude spindle]

I joke

Legokidd

What if it was magical

And super super rare

And we just let there be one thing that makes us all strive to get it

Like the One Piece

For hunting game

[iron valve]

I remember people said I hacked my albino super rare chamois just because it was lv 4 and the score was high

[crude spindle]

THE ULTRA RARE

THE ULTRA RARE IS REAL!

[iron valve]

lmfao

[crude spindle]

I will say

If LC did fake it

Idc

It’s like the wizard of oz

[weak falcon]

idk if this is a dumb question but whats LC

or who

[tame lark]

A former player

[crude spindle]

@abstract atlas

Not pinging you to be annoying, but because I miss the goat 😔

[normal rose]

i thought go whitetails could only come in standard or piebald? not albino?

[normal rose]

well. once i get my own setup. the grind will begin to discover the truth

THE ULTRA RARE... WILL BECOME REAL

i predict that by the time i find a UR my saskea lodge will be full of sr and go whitetails

would be funny ngl imagine joining a saskea server and seeing just whitetail after whitetail after whitetail after whitetail after- oh god another whitetail. and another. its all whitetail???

[tame lark]

I know someone who has over 35 (ish) GO whitetail and no ultra rare

So you’ll be grinding a long time before you get one

[normal rose]

yea because an ultra rare is like...

[crude spindle]

Considering the rate of getting a mela or albino normally that tracks

[normal rose]

ok so take the rarity of a regular ol albino whitetail. rare, right?

apply that rarity but to specifically GOs

which themselves are already rare as is

[tame lark]

I don’t really pay any attention to the “spawn rates”. I’ve had to much experience where they are completely wrong

[normal rose]

ive only found mela whitetails, never albinos

would be funny as fuck if my UR ended up melanistic

[tame lark]

I’m not sure those are even possible

[normal rose]

yea idk either!

[tame lark]

I’ve never even seen a modded one

[normal rose]

would be cool if there are

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-gif-19441391

it didnt embed but its a chicken swarm

thats gonna be a saskea lodge once im done getting my UR but instead of chickens its whitetails

[weak falcon]

whats yalls favorite animal to hunt

[crude spindle]

Mooska

[tame lark]

Saltwater crocs or wolves

[north nova]

is it scarecrow

I bet its scarecrow

[worthy junco]

he has 27

[acoustic cedar]

What happened 👀

[weak falcon]

my albino whitetail GO was a result of the rancho fur bug

[acoustic cedar]

Oh

Yeah I have two fake rare gos too from that sadly

[worthy junco]

Mel I need your luck, I am trying to get a great one fallow for my birthday and I found nothing big.

[acoustic cedar]

Forever antler mounts

[acoustic cedar]

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

And happy birthday!!

[worthy junco]

🫡

[worthy junco]

thanks!

[tame lark]

Jerk at werk

[crude spindle]

Don’t call crow that

Mods ban this guy

[pliant oak]

i asked about it and the answer was probably not legit

could of been bugged so dont know

[iron valve]

twas a weird time

[pliant oak]

its not just that some other reasons i cant go into

but id say not legit

im hoping in the future if there is a new game that anticheat is implemented

[tame lark]

Huh? Are you joking?

[crude spindle]

Yes

[normal rose]

btw i had a dream last night where i got an ashen color double paddle GO moose

[normal rose]

black bear, wolves, moose and bison

double paddle or typical birch is still dream combo tho

Moose
Confirmed but not found: Piebald, Albino, Melanistic
WELL IM SOMEONE WHO LOVES HUNTING MOOSE

ULTRA RARE MOOSE PERHAPS?

[crude spindle]

That’s not possible

I’m sure it was when moose were weird

But probably not now

[normal rose]

Fur Types: Common furs, Fabled Spruce, Fabled Two Tone, Fabled Birch, Fabled Speckled, Fabled Oak, Fabled Ashen | Confirmed but not found: Piebald, Albino & Melanistic

yea never seen a go moose with common furs so

im skeptical

[crude spindle]

I mean it did happen

There was a glitch

Unintended rarity?

[iron valve]

wasn't a glitch

[crude spindle]

Yeah

Devs made a bad decision

[iron valve]

the devs had the normal furs set as rare

people got pissed

[crude spindle]

Well no vivid there was

[iron valve]

they changed it

[crude spindle]

Cause in the lodge the special furs were common

[iron valve]

was it?

oh

that bug

[crude spindle]

You’d see fabled birch and then it would just be brown

[iron valve]

yea

my acc was corrupted during that time lmao

[crude spindle]

@normal rose jaxy accidentally spawn a great one fallow pie and said it wasn’t possible and since moose follow similar rack/fur variation archetypes, it’s unlikely that is possible

Just cause somethings pinned doesn’t mean it’s fact

[normal rose]

ah

[untold knot]

This server has been so quiet today… we all on that angle dangle lol

[crude spindle]

We had a whole half hour of several people typing earlier dawg

I’m not angling

Or hunting

[untold knot]

Yea but it was silence for 5 hours

[crude spindle]

I don’t think that’s because off the angler is what I was getting at

[gritty tendon]

give it a couple weeks or months and the server will probably liven up again

i think everyone is just a lil burnt out from all the GO grinding and EC

we should be getting some sort of dlc in september i think or sometime around there

[crude spindle]

Wish we had mini updates in between the big updates and small dlcs

Even for small changes

Like a certain bears drink time

[ornate shore]

A mini map sounds really good bc its weird to run around with a phone XD but than you see the animal and it takes hrs to take out the gun

[crude spindle]

The goal is that you learn the terrain like a real hunter would

Mini map would be immersion breaking

Can’t break ma immersion 😔

[ornate shore]

I memorized some of the maps like where certain animals are

[low shoal]

Tbh I might turn off all his but that means I'll have to turn off the zeroing cuz it's no numbers on the scope

[crude spindle]

You can’t turn off the ui

[low shoal]

U can

Most of it for the most part ur health compas wind and the shit in the middle of ur screen

[crude spindle]

I mean if you want to go for it

That’s all useful information 🤷

[low shoal]

Lol immersion

[full cave]

I really find it hard without the hud

Especially considering wind

It's hard to tell

[ornate shore]

Idk how people play without it

[low shoal]

Scent elmentator

[full cave]

I never found it useful

[low shoal]

It it if u are stalking don't matter if u are shooting em 200 meters away

[grave wedge]

4th Piebald at 1158 kills (165.19) & 5th Piebald at 1202 kills (124.61)

[ornate shore]

I honestly stopped using it and callers animals don't really spook unless your like very close to them for them to smell u other than that they jus go alert or attentive

Does anyone one got a crowned fur type from Africa?

[finite bramble]

Plenty of people have a crowned

One of my favorite rares that I have

[pliant oak]

right back to fallow slaughter

😁

[tame lark]

Here’s a screenshot of one if that’s what you wanted

[ornate shore]

Yea I wanted to see who else had it

[low shoal]

Is a spirit brown bear rare

[untold knot]

No

[finite bramble]

Yours has a black background lol

I kinda like the landscape though

[crude spindle]

all harvest screens have a black background lol

it's infintiely better

[acoustic cedar]

Trying to grind black bears when tired is not fun

I’m bout to fall asleep at my screen lol

Tfw you see a cinnamon in night vision and it looks like a GO…

[ornate shore]

I think thats bigger than the one I got

[gritty tendon]

grinding black bears isn't fun in general lol

could only imagine how much worse it'd be when tired

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah it’s sucky

[gritty tendon]

i wouldn't mind the grind myself if i wasn't 4500 into them

but being this far into them makes me really dislike it

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah I bet

[signal sun]

I really want to strat grinding for whitetail on rev but am just so lazy to find all my zones i couldnt be bothered rn

*start

[finite bramble]

But I kinda like the background background

[normal rose]

man i wish we had more piebald variants for the fallow deer ngl. im actually not a huge fan of the one we have rn. it's... ok, i'll leave ot at that. not bad but not great either. i'd take a piebald dark spotted tbh, i love dark spotted as is imagine it piebald. woaoaowowoaoaoaao

[crude spindle]

We have two?!???

Not one

[normal rose]

o

[plucky grove]

Anybody ever see one this wonky?

[pliant oak]

you get em much wonkier than that

😁

[stark sparrow]

3 different pie patters from the new fur textures. Also the patters are mirrored which is lazy imo.

[shrewd lance]

i got like 3 crowned wildebeest i play savanah to much💀

[pliant citrus]

Bro looks like his antler got melted by the sun XD

[normal rose]

its not loading but im gonna assume its a red deer, yea wonkies are common for them

ohh its a fallow, now thats interesting. havent seen any wonky fallows yet

[pliant oak]

diamond number 215 of this grind

[pliant oak]

fallow number 4 of grind

[normal rose]

215 diamonds no GO is crazy

[normal rose]

btw is it just me or does this particular rack remind anyone else of moth antennae

its why i call it the moth rack

[copper coral]

MOTH

Sorry

[dusty igloo]

How many kills?

[pliant oak]

i stopped counting at 6000 now just counting diamonds so prolly about 7000

had 3 GOs

[dusty igloo]

wow

[pliant oak]

215 diamonds

no super rares

[balmy glacier]

how much time did you spent approximately

[pliant oak]

i started this grind last september

so about 9 months

i mainly started it to experiment with herd management

and to get a super rare

no super rare but ive learned so much about herd management from experimenting

learned and proved stacking diamonds hurts respawns

learned how many lower levels you need on map for diamonds and increased go to spawn

learned about adavanced herd management and selective shooting
