25-66

fast ridge
#

That's either min weight or very close to it

#

definitely worthy of the Hall of Smol either way

willow dirge
#

It

#

oops

#

Will killing it effect my respawns?

#

i dont want all my fours to be 2s

vernal zealot
#

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?

gritty tendon
#

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

vernal zealot
#

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

gritty tendon
#

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?

vernal zealot
#

anywhere from 2-9

gritty tendon
#

if you had that many just in one zone you probably have some that won’t 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

nocturne bison
#

Dude I'm losing hope 2800 Kills rn just gotta keep moving

nocturne bison
#

No

#

But had a few good grind before that for fallow

stray peak
#

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

nocturne bison
#

Idk iv seen a lot of grinds to prove that to not be the case even though it was thought to originally

stray peak
#

dunno if i got lucky tho because it was my first

acoustic cedar
#

As someone who has done it with and without, the difference using herd management makes is blindingly obvious

nocturne bison
#

Damn ya my first 4 fallow GO Grinds were
1277
387
1023
957

#

And now 2800

acoustic cedar
#

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.

nocturne bison
#

Lol ya saw

#

Lately you've been insane

acoustic cedar
#

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!

nocturne bison
#

Damn just gotta keep on going, fallow fallow fallow

#

Thanks for the 2 cents tho

acoustic cedar
#

Pretty much! No problem, I hope you get your great one soon!! You definitely deserve it

radiant scarab
#

just keep killing and u will get it

solar wing
#

Is it better to keep min weight males or all 1s and 2s when doing fallow hm?

pliant oak
#

2s and below

#

kill rest

#

aim for about half you population as level 2s

solar wing
#

Thanks

signal sun
#

lol

unkempt parcel
pliant oak
#

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

willow dirge
#

can great ones spawn in multiplayer? Im grindimg with a friend

tiny kestrel
#

They can

hollow yacht
#

Great One black bear after 600 kills

#

I'm so happy!!!

north nova
#

congrats

# pliant oak so does seem like a system and not rng at all

I mean I’m pretty sure it’s still rng whether a diamond spawns or a great one, but I’m convinced that a great one spawns in place of a diamond, it’s just whether you get lucky enough for that roll/for the numbers to line up. If it wasn’t rng at all then everyone would get great ones at the exact same numbers

pliant oak
acoustic cedar
pliant oak
#

getting rid of the bs

#

trying all scenarios

#

learn quite a lot

acoustic cedar
#

I meant like the devs aren’t gonna say ā€˜yes that’s exactly how it works’

pliant oak
#

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

acoustic cedar
#

If you think it’s something that is true, provable AND exploitable then I definitely wouldn’t say anything

pliant oak
#

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

#

😁

solar wing
#

Would it possibly affect my grind if I use the wrong weapon for almost all the kills

copper coral
#

Why would it

solar wing
#

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.

copper coral
#

It just affects te score

solar wing
#

And he was using the right rifle

copper coral
#

Scarecrow i think hunts the reds with 338

acoustic cedar
#

I do all my grinds with the 300

solar wing
#

I just have awful luck then 😭

acoustic cedar
#

Ethical or not lmao

copper coral
solar wing
#

Barely any rares either

copper coral
#

Luck issue

#

L

#

Jk

solar wing
#

At least I'm trying šŸ’Ŗ

copper coral
#

Good luck

solar wing
#

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

copper coral
#

Fair enough

#

What are you even grinding

solar wing
#

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 😭

pliant oak
#

just spotted a 5

#

shot him over the water waiting on the floating in

pliant citrus
#

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...

solar wing
#

Oof

pliant citrus
#

Had lvl 4s get close then my first lvl 5 be .2 off

solar wing
#

My GO will spawn today

pliant oak
#

diamond number 25 of 2nd grind and hes a whopper

solar wing
#

Hamburger

pliant citrus
#

Ayyyeeeee

solar wing
#

Checked my lodge today

#

My biggest is 268

copper coral
#

Thats big

solar wing
#

My red deer hm is amazing but 4k kills in without a GO

#

Someday I'll get him

#

I have a 270+ red

pliant oak
#

270s probably rarer than a great one

#

current grind for reds is. 224 diamonds over 7000 kills not one 270

north nova
#

Ron those are some numbers

pliant oak
#

one day...

solar wing
#

I'll go take a pic of him

#

Because why not

pliant oak
#

must be ready for another GO red too soon

solar wing
#

I don't know where I put him though

pliant oak
#

44 diamonds since last one

copper coral
#

What furs you got

pliant oak
#

for ?

north nova
copper coral
#

What variations do red deer gos have

#

People rarely post those

north nova
#

I just think the melas are top notch looking with the remodel

copper coral
pliant oak
#

its just one fur go we know is 100 percent legit for reds

#

but there could be albino one not sure

solar wing
#

Found him

copper coral
#

Oh im not asking about rare fur just normal go furs

#

What do you got

pliant oak
#

they all the same

#

for reds

copper coral
#

Really?

#

Thats boring

pliant oak
#

its very nice fur but we could do with some variations

copper coral
#

No wonder so few people grind them

#

I imagine racks are the same

pliant oak
#

a lot of people grind red deer

copper coral
#

One variation

pliant oak
#

its one of the top ones people grind

copper coral
#

I guess they are the easiest same with fallow

pliant oak
#

fallow are easier

#

whitetail probably easiest of the lot

#

as less levels

copper coral
#

Lot? So 4 lol

solar wing
#

Define easy..

pliant oak
#

with herd management

copper coral
#

Yeah im just kidding

pliant oak
#

less levels easier

#

so whitetail only have 1 - 3 levels

copper coral
#

Reds need some more variations

pliant oak
#

fallow 1-5

solar wing
#

But not to get a GO

copper coral
#

I was talking about the amount of gos in gsme

#

Since you said lot

#

Whatever lol

pliant oak
#

im not even after a go red deer more a super rare

#

been after it for a year +

solar wing
#

How many GO's do you have?

pliant oak
#

3 gos while after it

copper coral
#

Not surprised if theres only one red deer variation, why grind for them if its one and done

pliant oak
#

i think 14 lol

copper coral
#

Super rares are nice, a mela would be nice to get

pliant oak
#

its 13 or 14

#

šŸ˜‚

solar wing
#

Game crashed, maybe that's the GO spawning

#

😳

pliant oak
#

yeah had a mela super rare fallow other day

#

was amazing

copper coral
solar wing
#

Absolutely

#

Should've spent yesterday grinding for that birthday GO, maybe the game would have been more generous šŸ˜‚

normal rose
solar wing
#

Only my puny one

#

Biggest fallow GO šŸ˜Ž

copper coral
#

At least its not painted spoon rack🤮

solar wing
#

I love the spoon rack

#

Hoping to see him next

copper coral
#

Dont talk to me ever again + blocked

solar wing
#

Which one is your favourite?

#

Fur and rack

copper coral
#

The one you got is nice, i think its silver

solar wing
#

Silver is really nice

fast ridge
#

Irish elk rack ftw

solar wing
#

Typical and spoon are my favourites

#

Fur...idk I like them all

copper coral
#

Hooded is like 2 and mocha is 3rd

pliant oak
copper coral
#

Honestly if i were to grind fallows and got the painted as my first go i would quit

solar wing
#

Even if it was a good rack?

fast ridge
#

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

normal rose
copper coral
#

Irish rack is the one you got @solar wing

#

Right

solar wing
#

No

#

I have saw rack

copper coral
#

Ooh

normal rose
#

Silver spoon ā¤

copper coral
#

Anyone got a photo of all racks

copper coral

I think I do

#

It's alright :(

#

:)

copper coral
#

You are automatically worse (jk)

solar wing
#

I know it's not as liked as the other racks

#

But I like the more natural look

copper coral
#

Saw is no1 imo

normal rose
#

I get why spoon rack is disliked but i personally like it

pliant oak
solar wing
#

I think it looks a bit flat considering fallow antlers almost look square from the front irl

copper coral
pliant oak
#

got a irish elk one but was the saw rack

#

silver or painted would be nice

copper coral
#

I hope you get a silver one

normal rose
#

Saw painted is good

#

But silver spoon >>

pliant oak
#

my irish elk is painted

#

so silver saw would be cool

copper coral
#

Do you like painted?

pliant oak
#

yeah its nice

normal rose
#

Personally cursing you with another painted because funny

copper coral
#

If i were to get a painted spoon im just idk

#

Horrible combo

normal rose
#

That i will agree with u on

solar wing
#

@pliant oak do you pick up kills?

normal rose
#

I sometimes dont personally but i do try

copper coral
#

Imo painted < gold < silver < mocha < hooded

solar wing
#

Wasn't mocha 3rd just a minute ago

copper coral
#

They are the same for me

solar wing
#

Ah

copper coral
#

Just switch them up if you want to

solar wing
#

I like all of them, but painted a little less

copper coral
#

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

solar wing
#

It looks a little too unnatural for me

copper coral
#

Gos arent supposed to be natural tho

solar wing
#

Yes ofc

copper coral
#

So why not would make it way better than current painted

solar wing
#

But I prefer the more natural looks on most GO's

#

Except wt

#

That 600+ rack is tempting

desert vessel
#

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

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

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

#

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..

crude spindle
#

if youre hoping for a great one and you have your zones managed well just take all of them out

pale oracle
#

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

crude spindle
pale oracle
#

Not yet, at like 2400 currently but took a break to chase fallow the past few days

pliant oak
slow elk
pliant oak
#

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

#

😁

#

think i will do the next go red too with it

crude spindle
#

Ron is right

#

I assumed the person was far along in their grind from what they said tbf

pliant oak
#

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.

diamond number 31 next kill

pliant oak
#

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

main fog
#

What are your stats?

pliant oak
#

for

#

this grind ?

main fog
#

Yeah

pliant oak
#

fallow 31 diamond 11 troll, 1 super rare mela

#

Wow nice

pliant oak
#

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?

pliant oak
#

i dont count kill any more just diamonds

main fog
#

Ah ok

pliant oak
#

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

right back to grinding lets see what spawns today

#

😁

mild magnet
#

Tips please I'm shooting all the big Bois is the right or wrong approach for getting diamonds?

solar wing
#

More small ones = game will spawn more big ones

pliant oak
#

just shoot level 5s and above

#

leave lower than that alive

#

gradually you will get more bigger levels spawn faster

mild magnet
#

OK thanks guys much appreciated!

desert vessel
#

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

desert vessel
#

Yes

pliant oak
#

keep anything lower than a 3 alive

#

only shoot 3s 4s 5s

#

forget the zones

#

just shoot as above

desert vessel
#

So i can also can keep somes 2 in zones i do like

pliant oak
#

yeah just leave em there

#

gradually level 2s will become most of your population of males

desert vessel
#

And another question i got 40 fallow zones but some zones dont respawn that good what should i do about it?

pliant oak
#

when you get to about 30 level 2s you will get loads of level 5s start to spawn

desert vessel
#

I got 4 level 5s on my map right now

#

and around 20 level 2s

pliant oak
#

they will help lower levels respawn if stacked

desert vessel
#

i do keep getting high level 4s tho

pliant oak
#

as it doesnt need to respawn 5s

#

kill the 3s 4s

solar wing
pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

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

pliant oak
#

diamond number 33 of the grind

desert vessel
#

Ggs my man

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

I already got my cycle for my main herds ready

pliant oak
#

good

desert vessel
#

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

pliant oak
#

bad zones you can just leave and hunt good ones

desert vessel
#

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?

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

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?

normal rose
#

I have decided yeah im gonna do my bear grind on missisippi

#

Is this a bad idea? Yea absolutely but its still doable

wooden junco
#

Gators are a PITA on mississipi.

normal rose
#

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

mild magnet
pliant oak

#

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

#

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)

pliant oak
#

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

deep terrace
#

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 don’t know the bears that much so I don’t know the chart for g1 bears

deep terrace
#

Oooo idk which I like more

#

What is it like spirt or something

normal rose
#

Left is fabled cream, right is fabled spirit

deep terrace
#

Hmmm cream is calling me

normal rose
#

Its a lot like the blond rare

#

Both are actual bear colors so

deep terrace
#

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

normal rose
#

Knowin bear grinds u might just get one of thrse instead

copper coral
normal rose
#

Its honestly my least favorite of the bunch

copper coral
#

Imo glacier and spotted are the best

#

Chestnut is also cool i just dont like cream and spirit they both look goofy

pliant oak
#

they have the best furs of all GOs

#

so each person will have a fav

copper coral
#

Yeah obviously

deep terrace
#

All g1 r amazing to get regardless

copper coral
#

Yes all great ones are amazing (except painted spoon rack fallowKappa )

tiny kestrel
#

The great one fallow furs are all awesome

#

That fucking spoon rack, though, isn’t

And because desire sensor really fucking hates me that’s the only GO fallow I’ve got so far

Do you still agree with this

I like NEM but that’s a bold statement >_>

i guess it comes down to what for

grinding or general hunting

revontuli is obviously better for grinding

#

time to start up the fallow grind today lets see what we get

#

and hopefully some bonus diamond reds along the way 😁

wooden junco
#

Im procrastinating my fallows atm lol

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

ahhh i get it wait so u do only do 2 or 3 rounds a hour?

desert vessel
pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

I get it that is pretty smart because most of the time they wont respawn any lower

#

Oh soo thats a more extreme HM

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

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?

pliant oak
#

my diamonds mainly respawn back as diamonds

#

yes both reds and fallows

#

so if i go reds like i will in a mo

desert vessel
#

so you only use 4 herds for like both

pliant oak
#

i go shoot maybe 5 tops high scorers i will get a diamond red deer

desert vessel
#

Oh So i get a diamond on red deer 1 in 20 or so?

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

Oh soo your stacking rares?

pliant oak
#

no i dont stack rares

desert vessel
#

But Avanced Hm is slower then normal Hm

#

Do you got any very rares ?

#

Reds

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

i am in a rotation whit 20 males right now

pliant oak
#

but if you know your zones

#

you know where they probably respawn

desert vessel
#

I know where i got my diamonds what levels there are in those zones

pliant oak
#

so you get a few locations at that point in hm

#

then just kill only a few

desert vessel
#

Yeppp most of the time sometimes 1 respawn and the other doesnt but then i main menu or sleep for a minute

pliant oak
#

clear hunting pressure restart run

#

check the respawns

desert vessel
#

i got 37 fallow zones

pliant oak
#

when you get it perfect you can literally kill diamond after diamond

desert vessel
#

but the places on my map who are "empty" there are no fallows

pliant oak
#

i did it for a whole week a while ago on reds got 70 diamonds in just over 200 kills

desert vessel
#

Oh thats almost 1 in 3 a diamond

pliant oak
#

yeah

#

but both last two great ones were diamond diamond diamond diamond GO

#

for red and fallow

#

thats why i do it

desert vessel
#

Oh so your Te awoara map is Really stacked whit HM

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
#

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?

pliant oak
#

mythicals or above

desert vessel
pliant oak
#

depends on what you have really

#

on whatever species

#

also the amount of levels

desert vessel
#

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?

pliant oak
#

ive got just over 40 level 2s

#

about 15 3s

#

10 level 4s

#

then few 5s

desert vessel
#

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

pliant oak
#

something like

desert vessel
#

You counted all i still need to do it

pliant oak
#

so what i do is now because level 4s are lower number left than 3s

desert vessel
#

i know what levels i got in my shooting herds

pliant oak
#

just shoot 4s

#

so they should become either 4s ior 5s or a go with higher probability

desert vessel
#

ahhh and shoot them down and then eventually u will just get diamond after diamond

pliant oak
#

because they are less in number

#

as the other levels are already there

#

lower 4s probably become 3s

desert vessel
#

Oh so you almost completed your advanced Hm and jsut keep farming diamonds

pliant oak
#

until you shrink the pool to such a low shooting number that diamonds will spawn one after another

#

with shooting selective ones

desert vessel
#

I get it now Thank you

pliant oak
#

just starting for today lets see how we do

desert vessel
#

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?

pliant oak
#

yeah ive done detailed guides on it recently

#

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

desert vessel
#

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

pliant oak
#

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

desert vessel
desert vessel
#

So i can still make mistakes and learn form it

#

and not completly ruin my map

pliant oak
#

yeah good idea

#

it goes like this really

#

easiest in order

#

whitetail

#

fallow

#

red deer

#

moose

#

black bear

#

with hm any ways

solar wing
#

I think fallow is a lot easier than wt

pliant oak
#

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

wooden junco
#

Time to take a few fallow see how I do

ive had loads higher estimate than that

some well over 300

# willow dirge only been playing two months dont umderstand herd management that well.

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.

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

pliant oak

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

main fog
#

@pliant oak what's your favourite combo for fallow

pliant oak
#

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

Does stacking diamonds actually help with spawning a great one and why?

acoustic cedar

full cave
acoustic cedar
# full cave 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 ā€œre 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

That’s as tldr/short as an explanation I can make it lol

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

Out of all of those four, I want red fox the most

#

However i'll settle for literally any of them

pliant oak
#

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

full cave
pliant oak
#

it is worth stacking at the start

#

to help get lower levels

#

from what i recorded tested

#

you get more lower levels faster

full cave
pliant oak
#

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

full cave
#

Alright so fastesr way to spawn a great one - shoot highest lvl animals, stack 7-9 diamonds, kill them, keep shooting highest level animals?

pliant oak
#

imagine each time you have a resapwn at the start of herd management

#

and you get a respawn

tulip hound
#

im doing all my grinds the old fashioned way. shoot all the males and leave the does lo

pliant oak
#

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

full cave
#

The grind is painful, which is why im asking the most efficient method lol

full cave
pliant oak
#

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

tulip hound
#

depends on your playstyle though. and what you enjoy doing. i enjoy long hard grinds. its why i play the games i do

pliant oak
#

but someone whos good efficient can match the results probably is a quarter of that time

tulip hound
#

true but to me it feels less rewarding

full cave
#

I dislike grinding, so Im going for efficiency

pliant oak
#

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

tulip hound
#

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

normal rose
#

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?
