[ivory pond]

Medved does no GO justice

[real sonnet]

I been wanting one for a minute now

[ivory pond]

People dont understand until they get a GO on another map

[fresh sinew]

Got 1

[thick field]

It doesnt even come close to other maps for prettiness of g1s

[fresh sinew]

I need dat

[thick field]

It makes them look so mid

[ivory pond]

Its an easy map to grind thats about it

[lime hull]

medved is bad lookin?

[ivory pond]

Terrible is you wanna show off combos

[ivory pond]

Yes

[real sonnet]

Best moose

[fresh sinew]

That's 1 of 2 combos i want

[fresh sinew]

Yes

[thick field]

The map makes it look poor

[ivory pond]

I will forever stand by medved is hot ass

[fresh sinew]

Blinding

[thick field]

tresh

[lime hull]

these look amazing, not gonna convince me otherwise

[fresh sinew]

Also DAYUM das a bad combo

[lime hull]

[fresh sinew]

You got emerald

After 4k kills

[thick field]

Thats a plumage not a combo

[lime hull]

okay brother joking

[real sonnet]

Is this all of em?

[ivory pond]

Yes

[fresh sinew]

All furs

[lime hull]

medved has great pics

[fresh sinew]

Again, very bad

[lime hull]

wronnnnng

[ivory pond]

Nah…

[fresh sinew]

Decent combo, ass map

[thick field]

Its an awesome combo but it looks so dull

[solid anchor]

layton lowkey better

[real sonnet]

Y’all hate the snow 😂😂

[solid anchor]

or yukon

or nem

[real sonnet]

Can’t even say it make a good pic?

[lime hull]

*at least medved is a harder moose grind and i didnt cop out on an easier map *

[fresh sinew]

Layton is only good if you don't spawn a g1 in the reeds

[solid anchor]

Real

[fresh sinew]

Harder?????????

[ivory pond]

Only decent pic of a ashen spider

[fresh sinew]

Yuck

[ivory pond]

Medved isnt hard tho…

[lime hull]

120+ moose zones?????????

[brazen falcon]

but then you can be shocked when you call it out and its a fabled pie

[lime hull]

yes it is

[ivory pond]

Try 230 on yukon

[fresh sinew]

2nd least

...

[lime hull]

nah nah nah

[ivory pond]

You have to admit… it does better justice than medved

[real sonnet]

can someone just tell me what tf the easiest map is so I can just have 1 💀

[north nova]

I forgot about whitetail and was like "Moose dont have fable pie... or blackbear.."

[fresh sinew]

NEM has like 220 as well

[ivory pond]

Medved layton and rev

[solid anchor]

i swear if i do 4000 moose kills just to get a spruce spider😭

[ivory pond]

No it doesnt…

[thick field]

If you wanna hm do layton

[real sonnet]

Not New England?

[ivory pond]

I have 189

[lime hull]

i hm'd on medved

[fresh sinew]

Yea but you're the only person that can say that

[real sonnet]

I been doing New England mostly

I’ll try mev td

If it’s easy

[ivory pond]

New England is fun

[fresh sinew]

Eh

[ivory pond]

Imo

[thick field]

If you really wanna try new england go for it ig

[fresh sinew]

Not to HM i would believe

[ivory pond]

Its good for braggin rights

[fresh sinew]

Map is STUNNING tho

[ivory pond]

Oh no

[real sonnet]

I agree that’s why I been tryna get my great one moose there

[ivory pond]

Dont even need to HM moose🤷

[real sonnet]

the pics would go hard

[fresh sinew]

Yeah...

[ivory pond]

All but 1 GO rack scores below dime

[thick field]

You still will go way too long without g1

[solid anchor]

did ibuy hm on nem?

[ivory pond]

No

[real sonnet]

What’s hm??

[ivory pond]

How so…

[thick field]

Herd managing

[fresh sinew]

If you HM meesen you just want SRs

[ivory pond]

Yup

[real sonnet]

Idk how to herd manage anyway

[fresh sinew]

I got unlucky

[real sonnet]

I just kill all decent ones I see

[thick field]

I must have too

Twice

[real sonnet]

knowing it’ll either respawn bigger or smaller

[fresh sinew]

Under 2k ain't bad

[thick field]

Still mentally draining

[fresh sinew]

Lmao

[thick field]

I think I’ll stick to pheasant and see how they go

[ivory pond]

I shot 2k moose in a day and a half

Ez work

[rocky hemlock]

https://medal.tv/sv/games/thehunter/clips/jrAo2YeepXNEcPcBd?invite=cr-MSxNc00sNDg0Njk3NSw

[thick field]

Axis SR grind will stay on the back burner I think

[fresh sinew]

Jobless ahh

[real sonnet]

Jeez dude

[ivory pond]

I wasnt old enough to work

So

[real sonnet]

headphone dent musta been nasty

[fresh sinew]

That's like 40 hours of straight moose killing

[ivory pond]

What else am i gonna do on Christmas break

[fresh sinew]

I swear

[thick field]

You could be servicing clients for a multi-billion dollar company

[ivory pond]

It was 23 hours in 34 hours

I slept for 11 hrs totals

[real sonnet]

At least stretch a few times brother

[ivory pond]

Not legally

[fresh sinew]

😭

[fresh sinew]

86 per hour?

Sus...

[ivory pond]

Its not hard when i was killin 2 a zone

[thick field]

You’d have to hit heart shots on like all of them

[ivory pond]

I hit straight heart shots 90% of the time

[fresh sinew]

I need to reset my meesen grind

I killed too many females

[ivory pond]

All you need to do even is shoot them once even non vitally, reset time and they die on the spot lol

Not hard tbf

[thick field]

I wonder if that cow I bombaclatted through the trees into the back of the skull stopped my second moose spawning

[fresh sinew]

Yes

[ivory pond]

Def not

[fresh sinew]

The hell are you shooting them with?

Bazooka?

[ivory pond]

Female moose dont affect GO spawn rate

[fresh sinew]

Take away males

[ivory pond]

You can shoot them with the 22. Reset time snd they die instantly

[ivory pond]

At most they make a new zone

[fresh sinew]

They do NOT die to a 22

[thick field]

It was a 3 moose zone so it broke the zone and stuff

[ivory pond]

Yes they do

You want a video clip?

Ill send it rn

[fresh sinew]

Mine barely die to a 300

[ivory pond]

Ight gimme a sec

[thick field]

I gotta pump my moose 3 shots of 375 sometimes

[brazen falcon]

flinter accidentaly brain shot one from 5 m or something like that with the .22

[ivory pond]

I can shoot a moose in the toe and it can die

[fresh sinew]

Ye but that's a brain shot

[fresh sinew]

Alr hackerman

[thick field]

Kneecap the moose

[ivory pond]

Its not hacking

Its a glitch that EW is gonna fix now cuz im talking about it

Because its EW

[fresh sinew]

🙏

[ivory pond]

Take away the only good things we ever get

[thick field]

Shouldn’t have mentioned it crapper

[fresh sinew]

The bait worked

I'm still pissed I didn't keep trying for tahr

[ivory pond]

L

[thick field]

Too late now

Check your map just in case tho

[fresh sinew]

For?

[thick field]

Just incase you spawned something and didnt know

And stuff like that

[fresh sinew]

Waaaayy to late now

[thick field]

Dewit

[fresh sinew]

Dawg i reset my save 2 times since then

[fresh sinew]

Good combo, mid map

[tiny kestrel]

The fake landing thing pheasants do is so annoying

[fresh sinew]

Yup

[rocky hemlock]

i just cba 2 set up a new one w tents and blinds 😭

[tiny kestrel]

I think I’m gonna start HMing pheasants

Wasn’t planning to initially but my grind is slowing down a bit with males not showing up as consistently

Hopefully that might alleviate the issue if even a little bit

[analog anvil]

or just find more zones i ngeneral

the more zones u find the more consistant ur mains zones are or atleast on my map

[wet iron]

I left the 5-8kg level 5s, shot any 8-12kg 5s and anything else 6 and up. Male and female

[fluid roost]

Finally got my first

[runic nacelle]

I should grind but I’m also enjoying my embroidery because I might as well be ancient

We recommend males to 4 and below and females 5 and below generally ^-^

[fallow kraken]

congratulations!!

[acoustic cedar]

More fox plz (jk I hope you’re enjoying it!)

[acoustic cedar]

Congratulations!

[runic nacelle]

I know haha. Call me the fox expert but I haven’t grinder at all this year. the blasphemy

[tiny kestrel]

I’m grinding 14 zones atm

I’ve set up on every single flock I could find around the map

[plucky flare]

I'm still down to 8 zones. Everything else is low lvl 1

[undone mural]

Looks great. Got mine yesterday with the same combo

[analog anvil]

try to find more solo zoens or pheasants in general maybe

it helped on my cuatro grind

but does any1 here grind whitetail on mississippi beside zacky here?

i have 55 zones here is that like average

[tiny kestrel]

Pretty much

[fresh sinew]

I did

[analog anvil]

its like 50-60ish zones right

[fresh sinew]

Ye

[analog anvil]

55 good enough

[fresh sinew]

Should be

[analog anvil]

did u hm it

[fresh sinew]

Ye

[analog anvil]

how did u hm it

[fresh sinew]

Shot down the zones where gators are first, then managed down the rest

I didn't bother with the north stretch tho

[analog anvil]

oh

[fresh sinew]

0 visibility

[analog anvil]

what i was thinking of doing was setting up on all my main zones and stack up on diamonds then once i get a good number of diamonds i take all the tents away and set up on extirors and just shoot them donw like that

[analog anvil]

set up ontop of zone bruh

[fresh sinew]

Well yea

[fresh sinew]

Way too much chit going on

[analog anvil]

but i mean like

all 16 tents on main zone

with pick up tents

[fresh sinew]

Stacking comes as a given

[analog anvil]

then take them all down and use pick up tents on extiors to hm it quicker

[fresh sinew]

Yeah

[fresh sinew]

Focus on the gator infested zones first tho

[wet dew]

its over

[analog anvil]

i havent had a single zone get spooked because of gators yet

actualyl sike in gator lakes they do a bit

besides that on the coast they never spook

[fresh sinew]

Even here?

That part gave me the most trouble

[analog anvil]

yes ive ran every inch of water on this map

even the parts that dont even have whitetail

[fresh sinew]

Above the bridge tho

Gators fizzle out after that

[analog anvil]

this has whitetail too

[fresh sinew]

Ye

[analog anvil]

i have 1 or 2 zones i think

[fresh sinew]

For some reason...

[analog anvil]

north stretch has some to the left of the outpost too

[fresh sinew]

The bottom right lakes are amazing for WT

[analog anvil]

ya im set up on 2

i have 8 zones i ngeneral tho

but 5/8 manged

[wet dew]

Are you grinding WT on MISSISSIPPI

[fresh sinew]

I did

[wet dew]

why torture yourself

[fresh sinew]

Not to completion tho

[analog anvil]

its not bad ngl

[fresh sinew]

It's fun

[analog anvil]

i much rather do mississippi wt then layton or rev lmao

[fresh sinew]

They were more consistent on Missi than on Rev for me

[plain raptor]

<— Doing Rev

[analog anvil]

i like picturing the great one im going for on a cool map

a massive swamp buck is sick

[fresh sinew]

Really is

[analog anvil]

or a massive desert buck on rancho

[wet dew]

you should try bears then

[analog anvil]

im going for my 3rd whitetail on a diff map

[fresh sinew]

Even that could be done

The bottom right lakes are good

[analog anvil]

1st g1 wt rev 2nd rancho 3rd hopefully miss

[analog anvil]

ngl this map gotta get updated

[fresh sinew]

It will get updated soon tmk

[analog anvil]

so many spots not marked

honestly a better way if ur gonna hm like i am is to just go on a atv and run the coast one side then the other

thats what i did

[fresh sinew]

Eh only like 4-5

[analog anvil]

the whole river atp can have them

id personally check every body of water

[fresh sinew]

Mine wasn't that full of WT

[analog anvil]

i love my herd of 10 wt on miss

[analog anvil]

all my zones are on the river and coast basically

[fresh sinew]

I don't

[analog anvil]

i do

easy main zones

[fresh sinew]

They used to stop respawning for 3-4 runs

Then came back like it was nothing

[analog anvil]

that happened to 1 of my zones

its weird because like

id shoot 2 1 run and there are 5 other bucks there

then al lbucks dissapear

[fresh sinew]

Exactly

2 runs later there's only 3 bucks there

[analog anvil]

sigh

zone of 6 turned into zone of 3

whitetail are so odd

[fresh sinew]

I had a zone of 10 turn to a zone of 5

[analog anvil]

just happened to me in 1 zone

[fresh sinew]

I wish i got my swamp buck...

[analog anvil]

ngl i may gotta find zones that dont do this

[analog anvil]

get back to it

[fresh sinew]

Hit new game

Kinda late for that

[analog anvil]

sicne when did u do that

[fresh sinew]

After the respawn timer

That messed me up badly

[analog anvil]

why did u new game bru

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve done it a few times

It’s nice to start fresh sometimes

[fresh sinew]

My fallow broke

I was shooting 5 per run and they didn't respawn anymore

[analog anvil]

....?

u coulda just reset ur te population files

[fresh sinew]

For?

I wouldn't HM them again

[analog anvil]

so ur fallow arent broken?

lmao

[fresh sinew]

Since I couldn't get to that level

[fresh sinew]

I could have also shot a few lvl 2s... But I didn't want to mess my HM up...

[analog anvil]

so u rather hit new game and lsoe everything including all ur hm isntead of just losing ur hm

i dont get it

[wet dew]

mine are sooooo broken

[fresh sinew]

I also didn't play the game for a month after that so I needed a fresh start

[analog anvil]

igot 3 rares on my mississippi

albino doe piebald doe piebald buck

and a random piebald gator

[fallow wagon]

yeah its weird

[analog anvil]

wth

cracked

[fluid roost]

Not really I traded but those are my first ever

[analog anvil]

..

[tiny kestrel]

<@&393042322499305473>

[analog anvil]

u arent supposed to post traded aniamls

[fluid roost]

Only one

[somber turret]

1 is more then 0

[tiny kestrel]

Trading is a hard no-no on this server

[fallow wagon]

xD

[fluid roost]

Im sorry

[tiny kestrel]

If only I could spell right Jfc

[fluid roost]

I don’t have time to really grind for one, but I got that moose from grinding, but yeah

I grind over winter break and that was it

[tiny kestrel]

Stop trying to justify yourself lmao

Trading is against the rules no matter the excuse

[fluid roost]

Im sorry i dont read rules only for modding

[solar wing]

Trading falls under unfair gameplay

[fluid roost]

Am I screwed?

[plain raptor]

Just don’t do it again and you’ll be okay

[solar wing]

^

[fluid roost]

Ok

[boreal oak]

g1 number 2 after 500 kills

[fair wind]

Sounds good

[tiny kestrel]

Sick

[solid anchor]

No ya didn't

[analog anvil]

broooo

[tiny kestrel]

I think ima go after fox last

They seem annoying to grind

[analog anvil]

mystic snow drop legit was my day 1 favorite sicne the concept arts

i nmeed it

[tiny kestrel]

Licorice is my favourite

[lime hull]

so pretty

[solid anchor]

They're all good tbh

Except cherry blossom

[analog anvil]

word

[tiny kestrel]

The rest are just kinda okay imo

I don’t think any are necessarily bad though

[acoustic cedar]

Omg my favourite!! Congratulations!!

[boreal oak]

I thought it was piebald until i spotted it lol

[tiny kestrel]

1300 kills in now, I managed to add two more zones to my setup and I’ve gotten around 2-3 more males per run

[analog anvil]

shoot a female pheasant

see if it helps

[tiny kestrel]

Honestly I don’t mind that this grind is taking a while, pheasant are incredibly fun to hunt

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve tried, it’s 50/50 whether it helps or not

[fluid roost]

What color is that

[analog anvil]

bewtter then 100% trash

[fair wind]

Very rare

[analog anvil]

this makes ur case of a grinding for a g1 questionable

almost seems like ur new lmao

[tiny kestrel]

That is true

[fluid roost]

Nah

[acoustic cedar]

Looks like mocha, uncommon

[solid anchor]

well, they didn't grind for it that's the thing

[somber turret]

[tiny kestrel]

Any trophy they get from now on is going to be questionable because what’s stopping them from trading again but not saying it was traded

[analog anvil]

i mean they confirmed 1 was traded so i wouldnt be shocked if they were both

[fluid roost]

Im not new

[solid anchor]

there was another?

[normal canyon]

Your name 😭

[analog anvil]

red deer and moose

[solid anchor]

Ah

Both were def traded tho

[tiny kestrel]

Definitely

[somber turret]

looks like it

[fluid roost]

Ye

But not dimond

[fair wind]

Professional

[fallow wagon]

yeah 11k $ when grinding moose is kinda sus

[somber turret]

[fair wind]

😂😂

[analog anvil]

BRO SHOT LIKE 12

caps

my bad

[fallow wagon]

yeah

i cant belive its real GO

both traded

[tiny kestrel]

Seeing nothing but small respawns is oh so fun

[plain raptor]

Gotta keep posting this one

[meager apex]

What weapon (no recurves)

[tiny kestrel]

Recurve

:)

[solid anchor]

Longbow

[meager apex]

No long bows either

445 kills

[solid anchor]

10ga miller

[somber turret]

scopeless crossbow

[tiny kestrel]

The .45 is valid for class 6s yeah?

[somber turret]

2-5

[tiny kestrel]

.357?

[solid anchor]

2-6

[somber turret]

ye

2-6

[solid anchor]

Could do 30-30

[tiny kestrel]

Then do .357 with no scope

Irons are fun to work with

[meager apex]

I like 357

I have one irl

[tiny kestrel]

Sick

[dire gazelle]

Just found my first g1😭😭😭 I could cry

[somber turret]

[fair wind]

Beautiful

[solid anchor]

think i have a 9 or something in my exteriors

[dire gazelle]

Anyone know what rack it is?

[somber turret]

Big rack

[analog anvil]

big rack

[dire gazelle]

Lfg

[fair wind]

Idk tbh looks like typical rack

[dire gazelle]

Don’t play w me like that😂

[analog anvil]

hear me out

typical rack overrated

[fair wind]

It’s only 2nd to droptine

[analog anvil]

its only loved because its rare i swear

imo the only racks that look worse are cluster and blade

[solid anchor]

droptine best

[analog anvil]

but like short rakc big reack and drop tine better

[somber turret]

And it looks cool

[analog anvil]

thats the 1 im hoping for on my mississippi grind

[solid anchor]

big rack is meh

[analog anvil]

nah

short rack is sooo udnerrated

[solid anchor]

droptine, typ, and short are the best

[fair wind]

Typical looks good, 2nd to droptine

[solid anchor]

the rest look doo doo

[fair wind]

Cluster is alright

[gritty tendon]

these solos really be doing the most to make this hard

[fair wind]

Big rack looks good ingame imo, just a really majestic looking deer

[deft fable]

If you haven’t killed it yet do the rhino

[meager apex]

My friend convinced me to do hawk edge

I’m stalking right now

[deft fable]

Oh ok congrats though

[meager apex]

Thanks

1sr now fallow g1

[gritty tendon]

max score max weight?

def max weight

back to back dimes

[tiny kestrel]

I believe so

It’s def max weight

I’ve gotten two 21.90s so I think it is max score for them

[meager apex]

Should I do whitetail keep up with reds switch to fallow or try moose

[gritty tendon]

pretty sure it is

especially after getting 2 the exact same

[solid anchor]

Moose

[somber turret]

Yes and yes

[gritty tendon]

nice

[somber turret]

I believe I have every bear at 4 lakes only males \o/

[gritty tendon]

hopefully your grind won't take as long as my pheasant are

[somber turret]

I hope it's not a really long one but with my fallow taking 1300 I'm expecting 2k+

[gritty tendon]

i'm going on 7k

[somber turret]

On pheasant??

[wet dew]

I think I'm around 300 maybe for my 3rd moose, hoping for a short one but who really knows, all random

[gritty tendon]

mhm

[somber turret]

That's just sad

[gritty tendon]

very

i was hoping to have moved on to fox by now

[wet dew]

Before the update with the pheasants people were getting them pretty easy right?

G1 Pheasant I mean

[gritty tendon]

from what i seen yeah

i'm also still on that version

went offline to stay on it

[somber turret]

Really?

[gritty tendon]

yep

[wet dew]

Shame, like they spend all this time making fur types, and only dedicated people get these cool trophies after spending weeks, grinding all day to get one

Just my opinion

[gritty tendon]

idk

[somber turret]

Imagine if some stupid reason that's why and it's impossible to get it offline

[gritty tendon]

i don't mind it but 7k is a bit excessive

[gritty tendon]

i've thought about it actually

but i couldn't think of a way they could implement that into a previous version

i got 2 tahr when i did the same thing so idk

[plain raptor]

That’s what makes them unique and rare

[gritty tendon]

just horrible rng which is just my luck

[wet dew]

But it's a little too rare imo

Like 1000 animals is a lot

[gritty tendon]

eh i think they should keep it the way it is

that's what makes them GOs

[wet dew]

I know they'll never change it, but it's just excessive

[gritty tendon]

hoping since i shot some solos down that i'll have a better chance

[plucky flare]

1k? Times that by 5 and get no rares

[wet dew]

Yeah! 5k is too much for a Great One imo, and rares

[plucky flare]

Not so much for the great one but for a rare it's kinda ridiculous

[gritty tendon]

could always bring back initial spawn GOs but then you have to question the legitimacy of them more

[crimson horizon]

Great one:)

[runic nacelle]

Idk I like that they’re an actually rate trophy for the most part. Yea some get really lucky with rng but if they where as common as everyhting else they wouldn’t be quite as special

[drowsy cosmos]

Did you take enough pictures

[crimson horizon]

No😔

[drowsy cosmos]

What’s the best map for whitetail

[gritty tendon]

layton and rev if you mean for grinding

[drowsy cosmos]

Ok

[crimson horizon]

Rev is better in my opinion my Layton white tail zones suck

[gritty tendon]

layton is good because it has less zones

but it also sucks because it's really brushy

easier to hm though

[somber turret]

well im happy i was still running make sure nothing popped from me moving bears

[solid anchor]

troll

[somber turret]

ok you earned the 100 hour noob name

[solid anchor]

hate u

small dime anyways

[lost peak]

3080 kills into fallow #7 where is he:)

[tiny kestrel]

Almost at 4 million cash thanks to this grind

Been a while since I’ve surpassed the 3.5 mil mark

Once I get my pheasant GO I’ll set up either moose or whitetail again, start up those grinds again so I can just hop on and actually have a good selection of species to grind

[gritty tendon]

pheasant is hell for me rn

[tiny kestrel]

Been relatively smooth for me so far

Thankfully

[gritty tendon]

respawns have been good

just no GO in sight after 7.1k

[tiny kestrel]

Jesus Christ

[gritty tendon]

longest grind so far

[tiny kestrel]

My condolences

[gritty tendon]

actually starting to think they made it so you can't get a GO unless your on live build

[tiny kestrel]

At 1334 kills this it still has the potential to be my 3rd shortest grind lol

[gritty tendon]

never thought anything would pass my last tahr grind

and it was just under 5.5k

[tiny kestrel]

Man

Tahr are gonna be rough

[gritty tendon]

will never go back to them unless they get added to te

[tiny kestrel]

Te Awaroa mountains would be tough to set up on

[gritty tendon]

can't be any worse than sundar can it?

[tiny kestrel]

They should give em drink zones but only on my map fr

[gritty tendon]

feel like species that don't drink should drink but not have a set time for it

or have really short drink times

[tiny kestrel]

The whole idea is that they can get all the water they need from the plants they eat

But even still, don’t animals irl still drink from water sources from time to time?

[gritty tendon]

yeah

[tiny kestrel]

Just give them a drink time and I’ll be happy 🙏

[ivory pond]

Even quail go to watering holes to drink

[gritty tendon]

give me my pheasant and i'll be happy

i'm so done with this grind

[thick radish]

Zacky you hunt quail

[ivory pond]

Irl ye

[thick radish]

Oh I thought you ment in COTW lol

[ivory pond]

Nah was talking irl

[thick radish]

I heard duck hunting is very fun

[ivory pond]

Oh yea

[gritty tendon]

another max weight

almost max score

[thick radish]

What GO you going for rn?

[tiny kestrel]

Trying to start up HM but no lvl 3s are spawning lol

[gritty tendon]

for?

[tiny kestrel]

Pheasant

For the last hundred kills or so I’ve been getting pretty small respawns in general

[gritty tendon]

have a lvl3 solo somewhere?

[tiny kestrel]

Maybe

I haven’t really checked up on the solos on my map

Been saving that for after I’ve gotten a few 3s so I can shoot down the solos

[gritty tendon]

that's what it was for me when i started pheasant

went like 300 kills without a dime

found a solo 3 and then spawned a 3 right after

[tiny kestrel]

I’ll check in a few runs or so

I’m hoping it’s just bad luck and not random solo 3s

[gritty tendon]

even just 1 dime seems to really push stuff down

[tiny kestrel]

Best part is I’ve got several minimum estimate males on my map atm

My spawns shouldn’t be this small

[gritty tendon]

prob a dime somewhere then unfortunately

or could just be bad luck

[charred bluff]

About how many drink zones are there on te awaroa for fallow?

[ivory pond]

Moose

And WT

[somber turret]

28-38

[ivory pond]

What if i have 27

[charred bluff]

Thanks

[ivory pond]

Is my map broken

[tiny kestrel]

Then ur bad

>:P

[ivory pond]

🤔

No

[gritty tendon]

then you have a case of easy HM

[lost peak]

Got just under 1k kills I’m fallow today alone

Up at 3095

Not too bad

When do y’all think it should spawn

[tiny kestrel]

3096

He’s on your map right now you need to check it NOW

[lost peak]

He’s not

[tiny kestrel]

he is 😺

[lost peak]

There would have been signs

And I didn’t get any signs

[ivory pond]

Signs…

[tiny kestrel]

He’s holding a sign rn

[ivory pond]

they dont show signs lol

[lost peak]

First thing tomorrow I was planning on checking map anyways

For me they do

[ivory pond]

Like what?

[lost peak]

Before all of my fallow in the past spawned I would only be getting super low levels and minimum weight deer in mains for around 3-4 rotations

Same with whitetail for all 3

And for my pheasant

[ivory pond]

For a GO that barely scores higher than a dime…

[lost peak]

And for my moose

[ivory pond]

Moose GO score less than dime

[tiny kestrel]

There aren’t any signs the game is “about to spawn” a GO

[ivory pond]

Besides quad

[lost peak]

All of mine have had some sort of signs right before it spawned

[tiny kestrel]

I think it’s just confirmation bias talking

[ivory pond]

Thats just rng then…

Because they cant and wont show signs

[lost peak]

Mhm

Same thing happens for scarecrow but ok

[ivory pond]

Not rlly

Ive seen him spawn idk maybe 40 GO? Nothings ever happened

[lost peak]

Well either way I’m going to trust my instincts and pay attention to my map

[ivory pond]

You do you man🤷

[lost peak]

Even if it is rng my rng does it every time before one spawns

[ivory pond]

Wish the game actually worked like that😔

[lost peak]

lol

[ivory pond]

In 56 GO never had anything happen🤷

[lost peak]

For me it does apparently

[ivory pond]

I guess so

[tiny kestrel]

If the game worked like that I’d be single digits in kills away from getting a GO

[lost peak]

I have had that happen for all of my 16 g1

[plucky flare]

6 times over

[lost peak]

Minus maybe moose I think that was just lucky

[ivory pond]

If that happened for a moose GO your map isnt HMed lol

Was bouta say…

[lost peak]

My Layton is hmd perfect

[tiny kestrel]

Gonna check solos next run i seriously hope it’s just bad luck and not lvl 3s out in bumfuck nowhere messing up my grind

[ivory pond]

Whats the dime rate

[lost peak]

That’s the only thing that’s confusing

It’s fully hmd and dime rate is terrible

[plucky flare]

I check my solos every couple rotations because they decided to stop being all golds and now are all silvers

[tiny kestrel]

That doesn’t add up

[ivory pond]

Then you arent fully HMed

[lost peak]

On medvid I got a dime every 20-25 kills

[ivory pond]

I dont know what else to say

[tiny kestrel]

If the HM was “perfect” as you say it is then you’d be getting a diamond every 20 kills or so

[lost peak]

Fully checked Layton about 10 times and not a single big thing in any zone besides main

So beats me

[ivory pond]

A fully HMed map will get sub 10 kill dime rate consistently

No matter the species

[lost peak]

Yes I know

[ivory pond]

Beats me too

[raw hawk]

One of a wun

[gritty tendon]

how are your pheasant set up zacky?

[ivory pond]

Yup

[ivory pond]

I shoot them from 200m away

[lost peak]

I didn’t do hard core hm for fallow starting out so when my next fallow g1 spawns might stack him and get rid of all the 3s with a estimate of 160 and above

Idk tho don’t care about getting dime fallow every 10 kills tho

[tiny kestrel]

HM revolves around weight not trophy score afaik

[gritty tendon]

kill per hour rate?

[supple heath]

anyone on xbox wanna play

[ivory pond]

It would make more sense if ot was weight rather than score

[ivory pond]

90-110

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

So trophy estimate shouldn’t matter, as long as they’re minimum weight estimate

[ivory pond]

Cuz look at moose if you were fully HMed you would get a GO every run

[gritty tendon]

on 8 zones then right?

[ivory pond]

Ye

[tiny kestrel]

If only

[gritty tendon]

hmm

i might have to switch to that

[keen arch]

How!!!!

[ivory pond]

I shoot them like wt

[tiny kestrel]

Tbh I don’t really care for having like a 300 kill grind as long as they’re all consistently around 1-2k and not 7K+

[ivory pond]

They have no respawn timer pretty much

[gritty tendon]

i get around the same kill per hour rate but not on updated version

[ivory pond]

Imagine its cuz you arent updated

[gritty tendon]

i'm honestly starting to think that

but i can't imagine anyway they could implement that into something that's not live build?

[ivory pond]

Idk…

They can do crazy things..

[keen arch]

Dm me the seecwets pls!!

[gritty tendon]

i got 2 tahr from the same thing when they patched tents on sundar

[ivory pond]

All you gotta do is find 8-10 zones that you can set up from 200m then just shoot them

[ivory pond]

I tried but my game ended up updating sadly

[tiny kestrel]

You just made me realize I should have any rifle that isn’t the .22 lol

I dont know why it didn’t occur to me to have something that’s good for longer ranges

[ivory pond]

I use the 243

And soft points cuz free ammo

[keen arch]

For what?

[gritty tendon]

maybe i'll try to shoot down some zones that i can't setup 200m away from and update

[ivory pond]

Pheasant

[wet iron]

Finally a couple rares on the grind! The piebald was pretty obvious as soon as I saw it, didn’t notice the albino till I went to pick it up and felt stupid for blaster her with the .300 😅🤣

[gritty tendon]

i just feel with how my pheasant are i'll be shooting them too fast for good respawns

[keen arch]

243 bet

[gritty tendon]

8 zones would def take my hm up a notch though

[ivory pond]

I use 9

[tiny kestrel]

I’m trying to get my HM up and running it’s just that my respawns that are terrible atm

[runic nacelle]

Is okay I did that with my mela lol

[keen arch]

@ivory pond mind showing me how there setup oneday bc i only get 30 to 40 pheasent a hour

[ivory pond]

I can

Probably tmr

[gritty tendon]

maybe i'll use 1 tent on a couple zones to slow it down for respawns and to get an extra couple of zones

[ivory pond]

Almost 2.6k into this wt👎

Love rng

[tiny kestrel]

Okay the game was adamant to prove me wrong I just spotted a lvl 3 lmao

[gritty tendon]

solo or main zone?

[keen arch]

Ty🙏 I will repay you oneday

[tiny kestrel]

Main zone

[ivory pond]

It was supposed to be a GO

[tiny kestrel]

NOOOO

NOOOOOO

[ivory pond]

But that lvl 10 in your exteriors held it down

[tiny kestrel]

NO DONR PUT THAT THOUGHT IN MY HEAD

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

[wet iron]

If you have one, would you mind sending a screenshot of how you have your tents laid out around the island? I’m only getting 20-25 male fox kills an hour, feel like I could definitely bump that up a bit

[ivory pond]

And i didnt get respawns

Wth

I just spawned 5 lvl 3’s and a poobald next to a lvl 3 a little bit ago😢

Rng is killing me

[runic nacelle]

That number sounds about right tbh but this map is mine, with the exception of one tent being moved

The tent to the bottom right by the outpost was moved back due to how much I was spooking that I got tired of

[wet iron]

Thank you! Actually pretty similar to mine lol. Is that rate about what you get? So this grind really is just painfully slow and I’m not just being slow? 🤣

[ivory pond]

I think i get about 40-50 an hour on yukon and 45 on EC

Idk what my Salz kph was

[wet iron]

I play on Xbox as well, load times are a little slower but that shouldn’t make a huge difference. Gonna make it tough for when I eventually go for pheasants though lol

[ivory pond]

You can just shoot them from 200m away and get way more kph

[gritty tendon]

7.2k

[raw fog]

I finally just spawned my g1 red deer today I’m so happy

[ivory pond]

Lets goo

[raw fog]

I didn’t even take a picture 😭

[wet iron]

That’s what I’m gonna do. I have 1 flock I see pretty consistently rn doing my fox grind I kill the male in it everytime I see it. If I pop a pheasant before I pop a fox im gonna be both pissed and elated 🤣

[raw fog]

How much fun is the fox grind?

Thinking of setting up

Since I just finished a grind

[ivory pond]

Its cool but slow if ima be real

[raw fog]

Took 3k kills to spawn a g1 bruh way too long I won’t lie

[wet iron]

It can be super frustrating between kills floating off and finding 3 pair in a zone together but it’s a cool change of pace. Didn’t have any fix trophies before this grind if nothing else

[raw fog]

I went upstairs to get something came back and it was just in front of me lol I was like wtf

[wet iron]

Definitely slow

I’m used to getting 60-80 fallow or WT an hour the fox feel painfully slow but I’m just chunking away at it as I can

[raw fog]

I might try fallow again

[ivory pond]

I really like fallow

[raw fog]

Even tho I’m at 3 g1s they are all ugly

[ivory pond]

Need to finish EC Hm

[raw fog]

For fallow

[ivory pond]

All fallow are pretty ugly imo

[wet iron]

Just got my 10th fallow recently. Only did the grind again hoping for my first SR, got a super troll instead. Probably done with that grind for quite some time

[ivory pond]

The fur quality just isnt good at all

[raw fog]

I got spoon silver spoon golden and saw golden 😭

[gritty tendon]

gonna start changing my setup

[tiny kestrel]

Same

[raw fog]

I dislike spoon and golden a lot

So I got some bad combos

[tiny kestrel]

Fallow racks are very okay but the fur types are really nice

[ivory pond]

Eh

[raw fog]

I need mocha Irish or mocha typical

[ivory pond]

Its the quality of the fur thats gets me

They all look like plastic

Especially painted

[wet iron]

5 silver, 3 mocha and 2 gold for me. Want a painted so bad and have yet to get one

[gritty tendon]

with the zones i can anyway

[raw fog]

It spawned next to my albino lvl 7 lol

It looks like a modded map rn

[tiny kestrel]

Okay the .243 is a game changer lmao

Gone are the days of missing eight shots before I finally hit the pheasant at 180 meters

[ivory pond]

Im gonna try to stack every big trophy i get then take them all out end of year or during summer

[raw fog]

Is it way better?

[ivory pond]

Oh yea

Way better

[raw fog]

Oh bet then

I’m gonna need that lol

I hate the 22 personally

So much bullet drop

Hard to hit shots in the air

[ivory pond]

The 22 bullet drop is not really that realistic imo

[plucky flare]

Oh I got my .22 sighted in perfect for anything up to 250yd

[raw fog]

It’s so bad lol

I feel like 250 is aight but anytbing past that is like

[tiny kestrel]

I mean the .22 is great at hitting them in the air but like, if they’re on the ground they’re gonna be grounded anyway, might as well use a gun that has next to no bullet drop at that range

[raw fog]

Oh hell nah

[ivory pond]

My 22 carbine drops maybe 2 inches at 150yds but in game its like 2 ft

[raw fog]

Yeah it’s bad

I finally got a dim mallard it took me so long

[plucky flare]

I found out you can hit the pheasants over hills though

[raw fog]

Idk why it was so hard also I’m like 700 kills into cinnamon teal and still no diamond

It doesn’t make much sense

[ivory pond]

Jeez

[raw fog]

My luck with ducks is like insanely bad

[ivory pond]

Run multi player maps if ima be real

I found 2 at 1 lake in a multi

But i crashed and claimed neither

[raw fog]

I might just set up again on parque

I have good cinnamon teal spots on that map

I want a dim for them since I’m so far in

I just got the duck blind dlc so I think now’s the time to do it again

[gritty tendon]

no way i can setup at 200m on some of these zones

[sly rivet]

then set up on a different ohe

[ivory pond]

I just shot 5 wt in 1 rotation

What is going on😭

My Mississippi is cookeddd

[ivory pond]

Alot of them are pretty hard to find a good spot if ima be honest

[gritty tendon]

i should have enough to set up on

i think some i'll just have to shoot in the air though

[ivory pond]

I had a few like that

I shot them down tho

[gritty tendon]

there's on area where i have 2 zones that i hate to lose but i don't think there's anyway i can setup on them

they're in the dune area

[ivory pond]

Dune area?

Whats that

[gritty tendon]

on the island

[ivory pond]

Ohh

[gritty tendon]

there's some small dunes

[ivory pond]

Big hilly spot

[gritty tendon]

yeah

[ivory pond]

I had no zones there

All solos

[gritty tendon]

i might be able to setup on just one of them

but def not both

[ivory pond]

One is better than none

[gritty tendon]

gonna have to shoot some in air regardless though

[raw fog]

My red deer grind is so nice

I got my middle of the map river all solos

And just shot them all until my g1 spawned along with 1 other zone

It’s like 14 solos plus 2 other solos and a big zone

I have so many solos it’s insane

[rich gazelle]

Tf is this crap🤣 reverso duck

[gritty tendon]

is there anything on salz that can spook pheasant?

have a tent set up past 200m away from them and they're still spooking

[plucky flare]

I usually set mine at 250. The zones aren't perfectly where they show so the pheasants might be 15 m closer or further etc

[gritty tendon]

they've been 200+ away and still spook

[plucky flare]

Like I said that's why I go 250

[gritty tendon]

i think i have the tent at like 260

[plucky flare]

Then I have no idea

[gritty tendon]

it's weird

[stoic stump]

for pheasant you figure the direction the zone flees and place your tent in that direction so they come right to you

[gritty tendon]

yeah but they fly all over

[stoic stump]

yea idk then mb

[gritty tendon]

just trying to get things shot down before i update

[stoic stump]

yea

[tiny kestrel]

Another lvl 3 spawned, gonna try and get 2-3 more before I begin shooting down solos

[ivory pond]

Mallard

[fossil slate]

Do you guys have any tips for me getting my first g1

[tiny kestrel]

Shoot stuff

It’s really that simple

Just keep shooting males

[ivory pond]

Watch iBUYpremiums guides on youtube

[tiny kestrel]

^^^

[gritty tendon]

think i'm just gonna shoot down that double zone

update and see how the rest is from there

[tiny kestrel]

3rd level 3 spotted

[gritty tendon]

have 2 stacked rn trying to shoot these two zones down

[plucky flare]

Godspeed soldier. May your grind be for more fortuitous then mine is going

[tiny kestrel]

I certainly hope so

Just passed 1400 kills

[gritty tendon]

can actually prob set up on one zone so i'll leave it

[plucky flare]

I just hit 5.6k

[tiny kestrel]

Tragedy

[gritty tendon]

passing 7.3k

[plucky flare]

How many rares you got

[gritty tendon]

not many

an albino, mela, and maybe 3 leuc?

[plucky flare]

I still haven't seen 1

If I get a G1 before a rare my games broken

[gritty tendon]

pheasant rares seem to be properly rare

went 2-3k without one

[plucky flare]

7.3k is a tragedy though. Especially after seeing how many people got sub 1k g1s

[gritty tendon]

and the fact that some have multiple in under 1k

[plucky flare]

Yea kinda messed up tbh

[gritty tendon]

i'm in offline mode though so my game didn't update so my pheasant don't fly immediately

ik it's prob just bad rng but it makes me feel like EW did something to prevent GOs from spawning in previous versions

[plucky flare]

Mines updated so I actually have to put in extra work which a ton of people didn't have to

Not saying it's still not a grind. It's just more now

[versed raven]

Blame the people that exploited it tbh

They could never be satisfied so EW had to make it harder

[plucky flare]

I mean you gotta run right up to the things anyway how's it any different

[gritty tendon]

don't they flee right after fast travel?

[plucky flare]

Yea I worded it wrong it's late

And I've been shooting pheasants for like 2 and a half weeks straight for garbage brown dimes

[gritty tendon]

been shooting them for over a month

trying to shoot this one zone down but it just won't

trying to get things done before i update just in case you can't get one on non live version

[plucky flare]

And tomorrow someone will probably have a second after like 500 kills

[snow elk]

[somber turret]

So black bears are really nice

[versed raven]

Nah

[somber turret]

Nah I'm already at 42 kills

45

[low veldt]

HOLY

thats 4th great one ever and in 13 days total for all of them

i am the luckiest mf alive

took me 2 days as im stacking dimes and setting zones till i was 700 or so kills in the grind

[acoustic cedar]

Found a few bounced pairs of foxes last night, think they’re back on the island now

[low veldt]

yall recommend bear grind?

looks kinda fun

[next arrow]

😞

Amazing trophy! Congratulations!

[low veldt]

thanksss i was so happy to see it

[next arrow]

It's...eh, alright

Hard to set up but once it is, you're big chilling

[fresh sinew]

Bears are hard to set up?

Since when?!

[low veldt]

whats crazy is i got THE worst zones for red deer too bro, i got bout 25+ solos, 2 herds with 1 male, 1 female herd, a mega herd and a ton of double zones

and maybe 1 single herd, its hell to hm

i legit had to stack lvl 8s even solos to deal with the 25+ solos

[low veldt]

hard in which sense like hard to HM the map down and stuff? i legit never hunter black bears yet

im watching guides as im asking those questions lol

[next arrow]

Well, truly set up, as in make sure you have a bunch of males up top, out females in the outer lakes, watch for bouncers constantly. It's not hard, just anmoying I guess

[fresh sinew]

Takes an hour, maybe an hour and a half max

[next arrow]

The only map you wanna do is on is SRP because of the four lake method

[low veldt]

yeaa i bought SRP on steam sale but havent played it outside of mp

[fresh sinew]

There probably are other setups you can use on different maps

[low veldt]

i gotta check that method

[next arrow]

I could be using that hour and a half to kill 10K more red deer for 1 great one

[low veldt]

you got this bro get that G1

[next arrow]

There are but, if you want quick and easy SRP is the spot

[fresh sinew]

He won't get one

[fresh sinew]

Well yea

[low veldt]

LMAO

[next arrow]

I've gotten two others while trying to get one 😔

[fresh sinew]

I genuinely want to try missi

[fresh sinew]

Lol

[next arrow]

It's honestly not that bad

Only bad part is the gators

[fresh sinew]

Once you move the bears it won't be an issue

[low veldt]

whats yall fav G1 bear fur

[fresh sinew]

Spotted or Chestnut

[low veldt]

chestnut is cute

that one kinda cool

[next arrow]

Cweam

[fresh sinew]

Both the glaciers suck

[next arrow]

Spotted

Is cheeks

[fresh sinew]

Other 4 are good

Those 2 are hot ass

[fresh sinew]

Nuh uh

[next arrow]

Spotted looks like the bear got a bucket of white paint threw on it, it's so mid

[fresh sinew]

You literally described this

[next arrow]

Wrong

[fresh sinew]

You did tho

[next arrow]

It orange too

[fresh sinew]

Bro looks like he got shot with paintballs

Honestly cream is the worst out of the 4 good ones

[next arrow]

Incorrect

Then again it's just opinion

[fresh sinew]

Spirit is a better color (that sounds racist)

Chestnut is FLUFF

And i love spotted

[next arrow]

My top three is Spirit, Chesty, Cream

Cream
Chesty
Spirit
Glacier 2
Glacier 1
Spotted

[fresh sinew]

How can you hate on constellation ber😭

[next arrow]

Just not a fan

No likey

Like, I would have a normal reaction (I scream my head off) if I got anything else but I think I'd honestly be really disappointed if I got a spotted

[normal canyon]

How can you hate spotted😭

[next arrow]

I just do

[normal canyon]

Spotted was my first g1 bear

[north nova]

https://tenor.com/view/candy-mountain-shun-the-non-believer-charlie-the-unicorn-gif-10502445

[exotic vortex]

chestnut

[grim hound]

same

and i have it

[placid kraken]

I’m thousands of hours in the game and thousands of whitetail shot getting diamonds frequently but I can’t get a great one! I’ve found all my zones and hm faithfully. Anyone have tips?

[plain raptor]

You’re just going to have to wait it out unfortunately

If you have found all of your zones and have managed them all including your solos, it is up to RNG at that point

[ashen folio]

GO Fallow #11, 106 kills

[fresh sinew]

Tinyyyyy elk

[lethal stream]

why are the white tail aint spawning in drink zones? they spawning a bit far from it

[plain raptor]

They don’t always drink right on top of where the icon appears. Same for when they get spooked

I’ve had whitetail flee from a lynx and come back drinking in the middle of the woods next to the zone

[lethal stream]

okie got u ty

[dapper notch]

Spirit is the worst

Other than the glaciers

It’s just off white and obese

And not a comically chonk obese

It has the mother of all beer bellies

It looks like the average Arkansas person

Scratch that

Texan

[plain raptor]

I prefer the spirit for brown bear vs black bear

[dapper notch]

Yes

[plain raptor]

Honestly I think it’s the head

[dapper notch]

The head and beer belly do the spirit in for me

[plain raptor]

Cream is my favorite

[glacial bear]

Cream is best

[dapper notch]

Cream and chestnut are tied for me

I need to grind for them again tbh

Only got one

[plain raptor]

I only have two red deer

Started my wt grind back up yesterday and am attempting to HM them

[patent cave]

Starting a hirsh fallow grind bc of you zacky XD.. it’s actually really fun
