That's either min weight or very close to it
definitely worthy of the Hall of Smol either way
So I shot some bucks out of my best zones and it turns out I havent discovered all the whitetail drink zones, is there anything I can do to get them to go back or?
wdym by this?
i don't see a reason they shouldn't go back to their zone unless they get stuck in the respawn pool/don't spawn back in at all
I have not found all my whitetail drink zones on revontuli, I have roughly 55
I thought it was enough so I began to kill the 2s in the exterior zones, but they have not respawned
it's possible they could have moved but my rev whitetail broke when i tried the grind on there and they wouldn't spawn back in at all
how many bucks did you have in that zone?
anywhere from 2-9
if you had that many just in one zone you probably have some that wonāt come back consistently
i had that happen before for idk somewhere around 400-800 kills and then all of my shooters disappeared from that zone
Dude I'm losing hope 2800 Kills rn just gotta keep moving
HM or no?
Then expect a long grind
no hm typically takes a whole lot longer
from what i've heard
i got my GO BB in about 200+ kills
Idk iv seen a lot of grinds to prove that to not be the case even though it was thought to originally
dunno if i got lucky tho because it was my first
Herd management 1000000000% makes grinds faster overall. Thereās still RNG involved so occasionally you get the odd longer HM grind- but in general youāre gonna get a longer grind without HM than with it.
As someone who has done it with and without, the difference using herd management makes is blindingly obvious
If those were without HM, you got very lucky
My first without HM took around 4300
Started loosely using HM just before that one spawned
Since then, in about two months spawn, had 18 great ones of different species. Compared to 12 in about 3 years.
Yeah so HM makes a huge difference for sure
Yeah been on a bit of a break past couple weeks but going to get back into it very soon!
Pretty much! No problem, I hope you get your great one soon!! You definitely deserve it
just keep killing and u will get it
Is it better to keep min weight males or all 1s and 2s when doing fallow hm?
Thanks
If your doing hm definantly dont kill the level 1
lol
Few months, few months ago I would've never thought you would say that lol
well as more and more people gathered strats
it does indeed look that way
as i said few months ago when people were still saying its random i dont believe it is
just a lower probability of spawning than a diamond and herd management helps
as you have a lower pool of shooters so you will get more diamonds more higher levels spawn
so does seem like a system and not rng at all
can great ones spawn in multiplayer? Im grindimg with a friend
They can
congrats
Iāve always said herd management in general makes grinds faster
I mean Iām pretty sure itās still rng whether a diamond spawns or a great one, but Iām convinced that a great one spawns in place of a diamond, itās just whether you get lucky enough for that roll/for the numbers to line up. If it wasnāt rng at all then everyone would get great ones at the exact same numbers
ive got a theory about this but personally not sure if i should share it as if its right its really simple
I mean theories are fine as thereās no way of proving it
well thats what i been doing for last year
getting rid of the bs
trying all scenarios
learn quite a lot
I meant like the devs arenāt gonna say āyes thatās exactly how it worksā
i know they wont but it doesnt matter if you can replicate it
i got diamonds down to 1 - 3 kills
i have a idea on getting a go more often
but i kinda dont want to say about it as people may try to exploit it
If you think itās something that is true, provable AND exploitable then I definitely wouldnāt say anything
yeah thats the thing
its actually really simple
and i think many people just overlook it
surprised my next fallow go hasnt spawned yet
hopefully saves carry over
š
Would it possibly affect my grind if I use the wrong weapon for almost all the kills
Why would it
Both my grinds have been extremely slow, one still without a GO. Got my only GO to spawn when a friend was hunting with me.
It just affects te score
And he was using the right rifle
Scarecrow i think hunts the reds with 338
It makes no difference
I do all my grinds with the 300
I just have awful luck then š
Ethical or not lmao
Yuh
Barely any rares either
At least I'm trying šŖ
Good luck
Told myself I was going to spend today grinding til I find him
Been playing for almost 7 hours now
Who needs sleep when you can have great ones
Fallow atm
Haven't even seen a 5 today
A lot of big 4s
I'd stack 5s to help with hm IF THERE WERE ANY š
If only mule deer treated me nicely... trying to get a diam for a parque mission and it's just troll after troll after troll...
Oof
Had lvl 4s get close then my first lvl 5 be .2 off
My GO will spawn today
diamond number 25 of 2nd grind and hes a whopper
Hamburger
Ayyyeeeee
Thats big
My red deer hm is amazing but 4k kills in without a GO
Someday I'll get him
I have a 270+ red
270s probably rarer than a great one
current grind for reds is. 224 diamonds over 7000 kills not one 270
Ron those are some numbers
still trying for that super rare red
one day...
must be ready for another GO red too soon
I don't know where I put him though
44 diamonds since last one
What furs you got
for ?
I want a mela for you, like SO bad
I just think the melas are top notch looking with the remodel
For the reds
its just one fur go we know is 100 percent legit for reds
but there could be albino one not sure
Found him
its very nice fur but we could do with some variations
a lot of people grind red deer
One variation
its one of the top ones people grind
I guess they are the easiest same with fallow
Lot? So 4 lol
Define easy..
with herd management
Yeah im just kidding
Reds need some more variations
fallow 1-5
But not to get a GO
How many GO's do you have?
3 gos while after it
Not surprised if theres only one red deer variation, why grind for them if its one and done
i think 14 lol
Super rares are nice, a mela would be nice to get
Yep totally real and true
Absolutely
Should've spent yesterday grinding for that birthday GO, maybe the game would have been more generous š
So what do u do for whitetail herd management
You will never see a go
At least its not painted spoon rackš¤®
Dont talk to me ever again + blocked
The one you got is nice, i think its silver
Silver is really nice
Irish elk rack ftw
Hooded is like 2 and mocha is 3rd
just shoot 2s and 3s
Honestly if i were to grind fallows and got the painted as my first go i would quit
Even if it was a good rack?
I'm hoping I get mocha for multimount reasons, but I won't say no to a golden either
...yeah I'm not a fan of painted either
Thought so
Ooh
Silver spoon ā¤
Anyone got a photo of all racks
No stop
Check the pins.
I think I do
Sorry you dont see the vision
Yeah typical and saw are cool
Bea
Irish and spoon kind of mid
Utiful
My condolences to your eyes
Im happy i dont see it
(To wk not u wormchild)
Wouldnt want to
Dw any opinion is valid
If you like spoon rack its not
You are automatically worse (jk)
Saw is no1 imo
I get why spoon rack is disliked but i personally like it
thats what im after
I think it looks a bit flat considering fallow antlers almost look square from the front irl
What fur
I hope you get a silver one
Do you like painted?
yeah its nice
Personally cursing you with another painted because funny
That i will agree with u on
@pliant oak do you pick up kills?
I sometimes dont personally but i do try
Imo painted < gold < silver < mocha < hooded
Wasn't mocha 3rd just a minute ago
They are the same for me
Ah
Just switch them up if you want to
I like all of them, but painted a little less
Painted is an unloved child (it should stay that way)
It would look way cooler if it was like a piebald but had 3/4 different colors in more regular pattern
100% would be the best fallow fur
It looks a little too unnatural for me
Gos arent supposed to be natural tho
Yes ofc
So why not would make it way better than current painted
But I prefer the more natural looks on most GO's
Except wt
That 600+ rack is tempting
every one
How rare are 8 myth female redfox 1-10 played for a while never seen one till now
Theyāre pretty dang rare
I accidentally killed a doe is yhat gonna affect my spawns?
no
no i kill females every run
makes no difference
i mainly do it for removing hunting pressure at areas i want to get back to on rotatioin
diamond number 26 of the grind
2 troll 5s for my 1st 2 runs today š
Is it possible that a zone whit lets say 2 males switched to a only does zone and the males become a solo zone?
Because my solo zones keep getting more males and other zones lost 1 or 2 males
I also got like maybe 4 or 5 zones whit 3 or more males in it
dont worry too much about zones
just get males you need leave ones you dont
then dont touch the ones you dont need too
as you get familiar with your grind you rememember where to go where not to
Soo i should just leave them until i have enough lvl 5 Fallow deers and then shoot them so i can lower my solos or just comepletly leave them alone?
Oh yes btw i just found a level 3 mela
I have got 4 piebalds out of about 1300 kills. Think EC hates me
if you not sure just shoot level 3 4s and 5s
forget zones
just shoot those levels when you see em
Rub it in lol.
only few hrs now
it is really good and everyone will be pleased with it
rather peculiar fella
Hey guys looking for some opinions before i completely mess up my fallow GO grind so i had the idea of stacking my 3 largest herd zones which gives me 11-12 fallow and 1 other double zone but now that i have all of my exterior zones shot down and only have 5 diamonds stacked i am thinking it wasnt the best of all ideas.. im currently rotating 3 zones because 1 zone has 3 diamonds stacked in it.. So my question is should i shoot down 1 of the 4 bull zone and shoot up 2 of the double bull zones or will i be ok continuously stacking on the quads.. please and thank for your opinion..
stacking has no real benefit in general
if youre hoping for a great one and you have your zones managed well just take all of them out
Only purpose for stacking is to shoot down other zones a bit faster. After your other zones are shot down take those stacked 5s out asap
You ever get your red on EC boss man?
Not yet, at like 2400 currently but took a break to chase fallow the past few days
it helps at start of a grind as you will get more lower levels spawn
Just watched your vid on the new pack. Canāt wait for that .44. Will you be letting us know when it drops? Will it alert me if Iām in the game?
which is what you want. later in the grind it harms your respawns
hoping next fallow go is on the way its well over due and take it with the new 1894
š
think i will do the next go red too with it
Ron is right
I assumed the person was far along in their grind from what they said tbf
yeah id only stack at start until you get upto about 7 if..you want to do it
by then you will have enough lower levels
then kill them all
you dont have to do it.
still will work just will take a little longer to get the lower levels
i tried stacking diamonds to the absolute to see if it harms spawns it does
stacked 30 diamonds twice in a row
legendarys wouldnt spawn hardly at all at that point
but as soon as i killed them got it down to under 10 kills a legendary
then with selective shooting as little as 1 in 3 kills
selective shooting only really works at the sorta end of herd management though when you got all your levels sorted
then you only kill the highest level and then close game or go main menu start again
if your herd management is good then you will most likely get a diamond every few kills
as all its replacing is the top tier of levels
i managed to get about 70 diamonds in a week out of about 200 ish kills
so selective shooting deffo works later in the grind
which was the goal to try and get hard evidence what works what doesnt and actually proving it. instead of hearsay.
Big fella. 21 dimes in no GO
Anyone see the ultra rare they just casually shot in the trailer lol
yeah nice touch
Same
I got at least a week off every month until the end of the year. I'm thinkin about a whitetail GO grind. Revontuli seems like it'll be pretty solid for it
we've been grindin
š³ how many kills for each?
I noticed that to lmao
number 226
what sr are ya trynna get
red deer mainly had a super rare fallow other day
number 29 of the grind
well id prefer melanistic or albino
Come back after 5 weeks playing the angler. And 3rd rotation this happened.
number 227 and a big boy
number 228
Bro no way
Congrats
I gotta get back on the grind I havenāt since emerald coast
15K in I think
number 229
i can finally restart my fallow grind seeing that they patched the startup bug
im hyped
i donāt remember where my tents or tripods went
Playing this game again is strange
Iām so used to WOTHās control scheme
The frame rate is so smooth on the PS5
Guess itās time to get back to the leucistic crocodile grind
#160
Pc hm grind really starting to kick in. Also I'm so addicted to this 44 magnum
right back to todays grind was really good yesterday had like 7 or 8 diamonds see how today fairs
Gl
number 30 of the grind
Nice have you got any GO's @pliant oak
diamond number 31 next kill
i think its 14 haha its 13 or 14
i could have 100 if i had the time to grind but sadly last year or so been so busy that i dont rarely have as much time to grind as i like
all great ones are is time.
the more you got to spend grinding the more great ones you get
the thing is now i learned so much now i can get them far quicker and far more efficient
What are your stats?
Yeah
fallow 31 diamond 11 troll, 1 super rare mela
Wow nice
so a great one fallow surely is close now
last great one fallow came at
Fallow 17 diamonds 8 troll.1 bodged diamond 1 great one fallow. 38 level 2s
How many kills?
i dont count kill any more just diamonds
Ah ok
on my red grind i got to 6000 then stopped
all collected that grind is at 229 diamonds
so thats prolly about 7500 ish kills in all collected
3 great one red deer in that grind
49 diamonds since last great one red deer
so same again red deer go or fallow could be soon
or both
How many diamonds do you have from animals you dont grind?
Like not counting fallows reds wts and bb
dunno tbh
i have diamonds in most things
number 32
#choose-your-roles
DO IT
Iāve been shooting fallow and moose a bit
I forgot how boring this shit is
But I want another moose great one
im at nearly doubled amount of fallow diamonds since last one
so hopefully one soon
then on to moose
MY FIRST DIAMOND!
idk if ill touch the game
man im just gonna do my black bear grind on missisippi
is it a bad idea? yea
but its the only black bear map that actually provides other animals im actually interested in grinding as well
actually hm i could do it on nem as well
soo for context i choose my great one maps depending on what other animals i'm interested in grinding alongside the great one. keeps things interesting, you know?
Black Bear - Undecided
Missisippi: Gators, grey foxes, raccoons
NEM: Grey foxes, coyotes, raccoons
Baby numbers. Try 2961 hours
Moose - Medved
Brown bears and wolves
Whitetail - rancho
bobcats and coyotes
red deer and fallow deer - te awaora
idk just grind both i guess'
Hey guys, i want to start my great one grind. Is te awaora the best for red deers? Or is there a better map for great ones?
Try 5k plus š
Te Awaroa is without doubt the best red deer grinding map
Okay, thanks for the help 
you need professional help.
Cash Iāve been playing a non hunting game recently, are you proud?
Your opinion is invalid and unwanted
Iām jk
maybe
Lolll
Lol I saw your Baldurs vid Mel. Theres no Moose there to torment you at least
Me over here just hitting 2400
Lmaooo š I just made another video to go out later specifically about the animals and yeah- of all things, no moose ššš
Tips please I'm shooting all the big Bois is the right or wrong approach for getting diamonds?
It's the right approach, but a tip is to keep the biggest bois (max levels) to push the spawns down to more smaller ones
More small ones = game will spawn more big ones
if you shooting red deer like in other convo
just shoot level 5s and above
leave lower than that alive
gradually you will get more bigger levels spawn faster
OK thanks guys much appreciated!
Hello guys does someone has some time who knows a little bit about HM who is intressed in taking a look at my map if i am doing it right?
Because i got some 2s in zones that i like to shoot but what should i do about them because in other zones the 2s keep respawning
and i already shot down the herds for the level 2s
fallows?
Yes
keep anything lower than a 3 alive
only shoot 3s 4s 5s
forget the zones
just shoot as above
So i can also can keep somes 2 in zones i do like
yeah just leave em there
gradually level 2s will become most of your population of males
And another question i got 40 fallow zones but some zones dont respawn that good what should i do about it?
when you get to about 30 level 2s you will get loads of level 5s start to spawn
they will help lower levels respawn if stacked
i do keep getting high level 4s tho
Kill them all :3
leave 5s if stacking
but i would kill the fives soon
then just do 3s 4s 5s
when you right at the upper end of herd manangement you will be at about 40 level 2s
then you should be getting one or two level 5s atleast respawning every run
I am kinda curious what some of you would do in some zones in my map so thats why i am kinda want somebody to take a look
diamond number 33 of the grind
Ggs my man
i personally dont even worry about zones
just the levels
once you get used to your grind do it often you know where everything is
once you get used to hm and more advanced at it then you can move spawns groups to places
I already got my cycle for my main herds ready
good
I got 4 zones in the top right lake that i shoot 4 along the river and 2 in the lakes and 3 others i am shooting down
But i am kinda debating what zones i am going to shoot down i got for along the river but i kinda want to shoot down 2 of them because the walking to the stand takes some time
bad zones you can just leave and hunt good ones
and i think i am going to shoot down 1 lake zone because it got 1 male
shouldn't i shoot them to level 2 so i get a better HM?
so kill levels 3 and above at good zones. make sure hunting pressure gone on those
close game or main menu
go back in one day later
rinse repeat
if you havent touched the other zones they will just respawn back at where you shooting
i actually use red deer to remove my hunting pressure for fallow like this
then now and then go to the coast line just to check
Oh i dont really bother about Hunting pressure because of the stands and blinds i got
So my hunting preassure is almost gone when i come back to that herd
when i completed a cycle
OH no i got a level 5 in a zone i am shooting down... estimated 262 to 302
shoot it or leave it until the other zones a higher level so the diamond will respawn somewhere else?
What would u guys do keep it for a bit so i can farm more level 2s then shoot it or shoot it already?
Is a 110-152 level 3 low enough?
I have decided yeah im gonna do my bear grind on missisippi
Is this a bad idea? Yea absolutely but its still doable
Gators are a PITA on mississipi.
Funnily enough the gators are part of the reason why I came to this decision
Need to clear hunting pressure? Cull the gators
Could get a neat few rares out of it
So you don't need to be hitting every zone? Just your choice ones?
just shoot it prolly go to a 2 anyway
yeah you can just hunt a few places and do short rotations if you want
ideally that what you do as its quicker and you can get more kills faster
as you progress in your grind it becomes easier as you remember where 2s are and so on
like i know now if i kill a diamond clear hunting pressure if it respawns as something good it will only be a in couple of places
so then go back check there if diamond kill
do same again
Also, i've wanted bobwhites too, so i'll be hunting those too for the bear grind. Hoping to get a few diamonds and possibly even an albino
Nice cos on emerald I've got like 6 tents dotted around in primo spots along with tripods etc. The great thing is loads of deer share drink zones too so I can switch up my grinds over time. Plus the river ways are good too. And then to clear up pressure I just run the coast every other day and shoot crocs lol
Really wanna get this specific fur type for my go bear
I might hunt fallow in emerald coast as well so i have a proper excuse for hunting the other deer species too (clearing hunting pressure)
that bear fur type for the GO is really nice
when i get round to them again that is one of the ones id like
I think chestnut is the best personally. My grind gave me the chestnut so I have no reason to do any more black bears but I might go back for a lighter color if there is a g1 bear with a lighter color. I donāt know the bears that much so I donāt know the chart for g1 bears
Theres these two
Left is fabled cream, right is fabled spirit
Hmmm cream is calling me
Yea if I ever grind bears again which I prob will I hope to get one of them two
I got chestnut after 876 kills so maybe my luck will come thru with them as well
Knowin bear grinds u might just get one of thrse instead
Imo the best bear go
Its honestly my least favorite of the bunch
Imo glacier and spotted are the best
Chestnut is also cool i just dont like cream and spirit they both look goofy
Yeah obviously
All g1 r amazing to get regardless
Yes all great ones are amazing (except painted spoon rack fallow
)
The great one fallow furs are all awesome
That fucking spoon rack, though, isnāt
And because desire sensor really fucking hates me thatās the only GO fallow Iāve got so far
Yes all of them (except painted)
i love painted š
What's wrong with the spoon rack š
^^
Its ugly and disgusting same with painted fur
It's cool and unique 
Looks like a sanded down lvl 4/5 rack
diamond number 34 of the grind
last great one fallow came after 17 diamonds
so double previous amount
come on
š
Do you still agree with this
I like NEM but thatās a bold statement >_>
i guess it comes down to what for
grinding or general hunting
revontuli is obviously better for grinding
whitetail are easy there
moose are easier than yukon
For me yes

Youāre all my favourites š¤
1627 kills, 36 diamonds, 11 trolls, and this to finish it off. 1st ever go fallow.
Troll#44
bold statement but i like both so i cant disagree
i may prefer yukon because of the diversity but thats iy
biome diversity*
time to start up the fallow grind today lets see what we get
and hopefully some bonus diamond reds along the way š
Im procrastinating my fallows atm lol
yesterday a bit slower but trying a different tactic at mo
more selective shooting
as got my level 3s and 4s to where i want them so going to try only shooting 4s now
so less kills but hopefully more diamonds or hopefully help spawn a great one
as i got about 10 level 4s left now
so hopefully each respawn should come back as a 4 or 5 or GO
will see how it goes
Wont your hunting preassure get too big?
no as i will only kill a few fours
as my herd management is sorta upto the sorta limit now
so my pool is very small for shooters
also i just go hunt red deer to remove hunting pressure if needed
ahhh i get it wait so u do only do 2 or 3 rounds a hour?
Thats pretty smart tbh
i will kill only a handful of fallows
all upper golds
so they will come back as golds or diamonds
as there is all the other levels already there
I get it that is pretty smart because most of the time they wont respawn any lower
Oh soo thats a more extreme HM
they wont as i have those levels already there
i call it advanced hm selective shooting
you can only do it really once you get to a certain stage in hm
i do it on my red deer and my fallows now
Ye i still get some 2 respawn in my main shooting zones and i am still stacking diamonds ahahha
But do you use Te awoara for both?
my diamonds mainly respawn back as diamonds
yes both reds and fallows
so if i go reds like i will in a mo
so you only use 4 herds for like both
i go shoot maybe 5 tops high scorers i will get a diamond red deer
Oh So i get a diamond on red deer 1 in 20 or so?
similar with fallow they not quite as good as my reds but getting close now
yeah you can get it way lower
i got it to one in 3 kills on reds
sometimes just diamond respawn diamond respawn diamond
depends on the levels really
Oh soo your stacking rares?
no i dont stack rares
not slower you just dont kill as many
so one run you may only kill a couple of males
the highest ones
then restart run see whats respawned
i am in a rotation whit 20 males right now
I know where i got my diamonds what levels there are in those zones
Yeppp most of the time sometimes 1 respawn and the other doesnt but then i main menu or sleep for a minute
i got 37 fallow zones
when you get it perfect you can literally kill diamond after diamond
but the places on my map who are "empty" there are no fallows
i did it for a whole week a while ago on reds got 70 diamonds in just over 200 kills
Oh thats almost 1 in 3 a diamond
yeah
but both last two great ones were diamond diamond diamond diamond GO
for red and fallow
thats why i do it
Oh so your Te awoara map is Really stacked whit HM
but you have to get your shooting pool down to as low as possible to do it
and do selective shooting which most dont do or understand
i use all my 16 tents for my zones right now
But when is the marge to shoot it and when not
so like whats the rating you would start shooting it for you then?
around 200? or bigger?
mythicals or above
I am trying to shoot down all my Herds i dont like because the visibilty is bad or i need to walk for some time and then i am going to stack my diamonds and then shoot my level 4 solos rediscover them and hope they are level 2 or low level 3 and repeat then then i think i got my HM right?
So for fallow you shot down 4 and high 3 for your Hm and then you shot down mid 3 for them to become 2s and now you dont kill any 3s anymore?
Ron do you got any video on your youtube of how you map look like for fallows and red deer i am really curious now ahahah
something like
You counted all i still need to do it
so what i do is now because level 4s are lower number left than 3s
i know what levels i got in my shooting herds
ahhh and shoot them down and then eventually u will just get diamond after diamond
because they are less in number
as the other levels are already there
lower 4s probably become 3s
Oh so you almost completed your advanced Hm and jsut keep farming diamonds
until you shrink the pool to such a low shooting number that diamonds will spawn one after another
with shooting selective ones
I get it now Thank you
just starting for today lets see how we do
Goodluck whit your hunt Ron for the day but ron can i ask you something else do you got any video on youtube about your Te awoara map because i would love too see how you did and what you chose?
yeah ive done detailed guides on it recently
Todaty on theHunter Call of the wild im explaining about advanced herd management.

te awaroa map currently
so if you look at my map currently i just restarted the time to go for red deer
as you can see my main fallow spots have hunting pressure which i will clear by going red deer hunting on main left lakes and middle river which are clear of hunting pressure
then change time at end of that run then return to fallows when hunting pressure gone
Oh Ye Eventually i can also do start my red deer hunt the same way you did it but i need to get better at my Hm first and understand it beter
it takes time
its took me a long time to learn the deeper parts especially by trial and error
red deer grind is just over a year
spotted first kill of the day potential diamond
Grats mann Then the cycle will begin
Ye I want eventually a GO of every species but i just started whit fallow because for me it seemed the easiest to start
So i can still make mistakes and learn form it
and not completly ruin my map
yeah good idea
it goes like this really
easiest in order
whitetail
fallow
red deer
moose
black bear
with hm any ways
I think fallow is a lot easier than wt
for hm you only have to do 1-3 on whitetail
fallow 1- 5
so less to manage but yeah you could debate that fallow have less males
so they close
they are the two easiest
Time to take a few fallow see how I do
what a diamond number 230
monster
first 270+ of this grind shows you how rare they are
fingers crossed its a lucky day
hehe hes even been taxied
š
Holy crap
niceeee
wait you havent had a 270 in all 230 dimes?
no they are very rare
ive had 3 Go red deer this grind
and thats the first 270 of this grind
danggg
i knew they were rare, not that rare tho š
you can get lucky get one early on but yeah they are rare
his estimate also wasnt that big
238 - 284
ive had loads higher estimate than that
some well over 300
My 2nd GO red was 272 lol
Other than that I only have 1 270 dime red deer as well
3rd kill today is a dime fallow thats a good start
Lol 208-249 est lev 5 at other end of the river so a dine and a troll hmmm
240.51 lol troll
Albino
but lvl 3..
I got 5 rares 3 pies and 1 mela and 1 albino this hunt
i am 600kills in
diamond number 35 of the grind
So I hit spine on my first ever
status update on my grind even tho yall dont care 2500 kills 30 dims 5 rares 0 srs no g1
2500 kils no mela or albino
Im nearing 1500 and only a few piebalds myself lol.
what should i grind next, im currently on my fallow grind 500+ kills, 7 diamonds no rares, i want to know what to grind next. I have all the maps and dlc so nothing is out of bounds.
what lvs do i kill and locations on silver ridge do i go to?
Males level 5+ i believe and they're everywhere on srp.
okay ty, im kinda newish to the game o
only been playing two months dont umderstand herd management that well.
number 36 of the grind
Ok so heres how it works:
You want to shoot big guys so small guys can spawn which loops back around to spawning big guys again.
I'm going to use Fallow deer as the example here.
You want a high population of difficulty 2 Fallow deer, as this encourages higher difficulty animals - like diamonds - to spawn. So shoot all the Fallow deer bucks that are difficulty 3 or above.
A Great One is basically a fancy diamond, since if you shoot one and (say you hit the spine or stomach) fail to pass the harvest check it will shrink down to a gold.
So you want to encourage high levels to spawn.
And don't worry about shooting females. Won't affect anything.
Nice!! I rarely see typical-looking racks
Ty
diamond number 231
is it only the males that affect the respawns? i thought killing everything was the way haha
Yes. Males have their own respawns and so do females. A female will never respawn as a male, etc
number 37 and a biggie
YO
I got another great one
Back to back days
Lets go
same spot as my mocha spoon yesterday
And its one of my fave combos
Silver and mocha my fav furs wish i could if got irish elk rack or typical but love them both
Silver looks great with any rack i would not be mad with anything silver
hoping my next fallow go is a silver blade saw rack
but currently double diamonds over last one so think this is going to be a long grind
@pliant oak what's your favourite combo for fallow
painted or silver with a blade saw rack
i have a painted irish elk rack
whatever i get next i think that will be it for fallows
then go back to moose get one moose great one then maybe black bear
both red deer go and fallow are well over due at moment
51 diamond red deer since last red deer go
37 diamond fallow deer since last fallow deer go
so one of those should hopefully be soon
OK thanks
š i pray for you (and no painted)
Silver Spoon
Painted Irish
Golden Blade
Hooded Typical
These are the GO Fallow combos I'd like the most
Mocha Blade isn't bad either
Back on that grind again I guess
Hoping to get a GO Fallow this time
Omg nevermind I never finished unlocking Emerald Coast
ā¦and never finished the story
Loser
Iām coming to your house. Say that to my face
Ok
2800+ kills, 64 diamonds, 6 piebalds into GO fallow. Eventually gonna get my first GO
Jesus
I know it aint the longest grind for them but I was gonna try to use an easy GO as motivation to grind the others
Man I gotta wait for my content to download
I haven't been here in a while
Sup
Save your sanity run away
What Great One y'all think we're getting in 2 months when the new map comes out?
Hopefully they get away from base game exclusive
I hope a rocky mountain elk go
Personally, Iād like to see a mule deer great one. That would be amazing.
True
my most wanted great one
gonna throw a party when it happens
š
nah i want a warthog great one xD
and a rabbit xD
i think the next one is fox or boar
Actually that makes the most sense as both can be found in many reserves
Ron I didnt know you were in here. When I played classic I watched your vids and guides. I look up to you Ron keep up the good work <3
I'm thinking red fox, given the rework they got when NEM released
- EC being THE map to hunt them on
thatās why i was thinking fox
i put boar in there too because it was already considered once
is that the last guardian i see in your pfp
on a less off topic note, hi hows ur day everyone
Yes, yes it is.
and today has been average, more or less.
Does stacking diamonds actually help with spawning a great one and why?
No it doesnāt. It just helps to spawn smaller animals for herd management
I reckon theyād be so good too
I see, what's the point of doing that then?
The more small animals of a species you have on a map (for example lvl 1 whitetail) it makes the map try to āre balanceā things and spawns bigger animals. So leaving a lot of small stuff means the group of animals you do shoot (so lvl 2-3 whitetail) will likely spawn big/bigger- thus more diamonds/great ones
Thatās as tldr/short as an explanation I can make it lol
Thanks. Makes sense with other stuff I've seen. So if I want a great one wipe the biggest males, maybe do some stacking, maybe
Yeah leave small ones, shoot big ones, in simple terms
I hate grinding. But i might give it a go
Itās definitely worth it! But I can understand not enjoying grinding aha
Stacking diamonds basically does the opposite of what HM does, which would be lowering the average level your respawns are. Itās done at the beginning of a grind to build up a large number of low level animals which, in turn (after the diamonds are then killed), increases the average level your respawns will be
Well uh
Great one whitetail #13 just spawned!
My heart is doing the thing and it hurts
God Jesus youād think it wouldnāt kick so hard after this many but nope every single time
Adrenaline
So much adrenaline
I see. So it's recommeded to stack at the start only?
I have 0 GOs heh
I grind like my life depends on it so Iāve acquiredā¦a few šš
Dunno how you do it tbh. I grind the odd diamond and thats more than enough
Itās the adrenaline- Iām hardcore addicted
Just took this guy with the new recurve at 11 meters
Hooo boi Iām shaking
Yup
Gah I canāt stop shaking
Alright. I wish to get one asap
I literally came here to shoot a couple different medal class deer for a project video Iām working on and he was stood out here š š
I hope you recorded that
Definitely do HM then
Indeed I did
Game is finally done downloading
Should i bother HM other animals too then?
But alas, I am too tired to play now
On the map
How many hours you have ingame?
5000+ on pc and another 1000 ish on Xbox
Hey Mel, what map you think we're getting soon?
Wow shiieet
I reckon a European map somewhere
Yea, we need more of those lol š
Gimme alpine ibex š
I'm almost 100% sure it's gonna be https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1070045518002147458
As long as its not another american map
The clues are gonna start dropping in like 2 weeks, we gotta start making our predictions already
Tbh I donāt care as long as thereās cool new stuff
Including a new great one to chase
I reckon boar
Iāll be happy with anything
They seem to be doing OG map species first
Teaser should drop in like 3 weeks
Cause map comes out December 7 and they drop it like a month before
Maybe they'll announce the new GO at the same time
I'd be fine with either fox or boar both sound amazing
Would prefer fox tho
Theres just so many possibilities - cross fox, platinum fox, heck even a pink champagne one
Would also give me an excuse to grind EC more for the deer and salties too
They might be doing roe deer
Roes would be interesting too. Would give me an excuse for Cuatro. Maybe then I'll finally do the Grand Slam.
Blacktail, brown bear
Wait brown bear isnt OG lol
I reckon blacktail and elk are out too since they're layton exclusive atm
These three seem most likely
So something cool- I now have a huddle of all big rack wt, and a huddle of all cluster racks. Then others on shoulder mounts. Didnāt realise I just completed another huddle lol
Coyote may be a candidate too since they're on 3 maps but idk
True, forgot about them
Is 37 fallow zones around the numbwr of them all or os there around 40
Out of all of those four, I want red fox the most
However i'll settle for literally any of them
it doesnt help at all
with great ones apart from at the start of a grind
im one of the few people to test this
stacked 30 diamonds twice on my map
to test it over 6 months
it actually hurts your respawns later in your grind
diamonds will respawn slower or not at all once you reach a certain limit
This is what I was looking for. Is it worth it to stack at the start like you say to get a GO asap?
it is worth stacking at the start
to help get lower levels
from what i recorded tested
you get more lower levels faster
Alright sweet, so gow many diamonds should I stack and is it worth HM other animals on the same map too?
what i found is after you get to 7 - 9 on the map you will be able to kill them and just carry on normal herd management
you dont have to do it but it does speed up getting lower levels quicker at the start
what i say to people not sure is just do herd management as normal
Alright so fastesr way to spawn a great one - shoot highest lvl animals, stack 7-9 diamonds, kill them, keep shooting highest level animals?
imagine each time you have a resapwn at the start of herd management
and you get a respawn
im doing all my grinds the old fashioned way. shoot all the males and leave the does lo
if you got 5s 9s on your map
quite a few it doesnt need to respawn them
or less likely thats why you do it
so as you try and build your lower levels
it helps
speeds it up
The grind is painful, which is why im asking the most efficient method lol
Makes sense
anyone can grind
grinding efficiently is getting results in the least amount of time
this is who is good at grinding
so someone can grind 12 hrs a day
depends on your playstyle though. and what you enjoy doing. i enjoy long hard grinds. its why i play the games i do
but someone whos good efficient can match the results probably is a quarter of that time
true but to me it feels less rewarding
I dislike grinding, so Im going for efficiency
but a lot of that comes with knowing already or noticing whats happening
so try and notice whats happening pay attention on your grind then you dont have to put in as much time to get the results
which is often what most peope struggle with they dont have the time
to do long hrs
yeah thats fair. i drive truck for a living so im gone for a month or on average. when i come im home for a week or 2. i love this game and can spend all day on it lol so i dont mind the long slog lol
So just to make sure should i be shooting level 3+ all throughout the GO Fallow and Moose grinds? or is there a point where I should stop and focus only on 4-5?
Good luck
THIS! I have had so many people, even creators wondering how I still enjoy great one grinding. And be in complete disbelief when I tell them i still love it. It never gets old, its a feeling that never lessons even after many great ones. its that sense of accomplishment and adrenaline that not many other things can give you in this game aside from super rares.
Congrats on #13 Mel!
Hopefully you can get all the racks faster than me, still after the typical 28 great ones in...
Thank you so much! Aha hereās hoping!
That's sum shitty luck my friend
Also congrats mel
I disappear you having like 5 now you got 13 lol
