Thank you man
Sent a dm to you
I have a question about this: How is his estimate at 635-704 but he scored 632 😅???
I had a level 3 whitetail that said it scored like 255-280 but scored like 247. It was under the low end. I think it’s just a small bug. It doesn’t happen very often
i love when you find new need zones randomly searching around its like you found some treasure hidden away 😁
Gooooooods luck
People made them bad people
yes
bad modders
good legit people
like me
and you
and others
well, im going to reconstruct the backbone of my grind
Every diamond and rare I've got has came off my maps
Give me a sec
One diamond black bear brown fur variant got it off of silver peak ridge
Diamond turkey te awaroa
Three diamond water Buffalo
One diamond mule deer gray fur parque Fernando
Two diamond cinnamon teal
two diamond harlequin ducks
Two diamond mallards one Brown hybrid and one Leucistic
Four diamond fellow deer all of them off of te awaroa messed up the shot on one so it's gold
One diamond blacktail messed up the shot and is gold
One diamond Red deer hirsch
So 16 true 18 diamond scoring animals
You have 74 diamonds now remember the the hunter profile recording thing had the glitch and gold qualified as diamonds for a while if you're going by that
Like I said all of mine are off of my own single-player maps
so less
And I have had no real grinds
As in seeking out and killing every male of a certain kind of animal except maybe for mallards
My first ever diamond was brown hybrid mallard my first big game diamond was water buffalo the first water buffalo I ever shot off of parquet Fernando
wow
He was walking across the field in a big herd of buffalo
He was the last one to pop out the bush I messed up my first shot but managed to barely hit his liver while he was running at 320 yd to get a vital
And I know where a level 5 Caribou is so I'm fixing to go find out if it's a troll or not
don't be disappointed if his estimated score doesn't even go close to diamond
because that actually happened to me with a reindeer not too long ago and I'm pretty sure they use the same scoring system in terms of antlers
only diamond caribou i had were hacked ones
I don't think he's going to make it but I could be wrong
Lol yeah not even close
what was the estimate?
329-408
bruh
I'm guessing he's going to be 390
Yup
petition to let caribou and reindeer reach level 6
seriously
that shouldn't happen with either of them
with every other animal, max level is always at least a possible diamond
not bad (look at range)
frozen then?
with the longbow
Yeah I've had that happen a few times
seems more likely to happen on some maps than others
max lvl 2 down
up to 266
lets see
i hope i hit vitals
not bad
shoot
i need nitro
so i can make :diamond: :gold: :silver: :bronze:
what im doing rn is runniing the rivers
first highton river
then high lake
then top right
and then looking at the lakes
I just finished re-surveying the whole place. Back up to 42 drink zones. Time to go shoot some deer now. Woohoo!
If you get more zones, you can rest your zones alot longer between shoots. I think than helps keep doe zones from happening. So does not shooting does
so that's the first time i see this kind of thing on my map..is it supposed to be a fabled one or? :/
most likely a glitched go but i have heard of just plain out glitched white tails
i wonder if i make a multiplayer game and invite my wife if she would see it differently..im gonna let u know in a bit
ill let her take it if its like that 😄
well she sees the same thing
dont know what to think about it
gotta love this GO 😄
we will never know 😉
i thought they fixed them honestly
havent seen anything like this in a while
last 300 kills I havent seen any diamonds or rares, I guess it culminates in this 😄
anyway gn guys and gl
gn
gn
it's what happens to a real great one if you don't shoot on sight, I've had two of these and they were real great ones but they changed to level 4
2?
yeah the first one spawned as 100-110 with a trophy range around 550 and the second was 100-110 with around a 630 trophy range.. Both became level 4's the first cos i shut down and the second after i travelled to another map...
the zones they were in were otherwised unchanged, the other animals at the zone remained the same but the great ones were replaced by level 4's
bruh
now i know,
only hunt layton
but thats weird. many people have gotten a GO and it probably was in their map when they shut down, etc
i have 8000+ whitetail harvests the first one spawned after 6000 and the other one was yesterday
That issue's both known and under investigation
it's know but as yet unsolved?
I could have shot both but the first one i wanted to go after in the morning and make a video, the second one i travelled to another map to reset the zone after a failed shot
failed shot on GO?
yeah there was a level 3 in the same zone and i messed that up too ... the GO was running and didnt have a safe shot to take but the level paused and i hit a bad shot
rip
the level 3
I still have the level 4 at the zone... Do you think it can change back ever?
doubt it
for now i have backed up my lodges and pop files and reinstalled the game, incase it was corrupted
How do you guys get your zones back to saying whitetail if or after they've gone to rabbit/moose zones on your map?
I delete zones all the time otherwise they end up having ever present females with the odd buck joining. If you completely wipe the zone you get a full new stock... I shoot bucks for respawns but shoot does to speed the respawns along
the zone will always come back sooner or later and in a similar position... If you have lots of zones it doesnt matter if one goes missing for a few drinktimes
iis there no known cause?
I know they come back i just mean for organizing and easily seeing on your map. No matter how careful i am I always get the zones mixed up its a pain
🤷♀️ I know as much as you do.
I want to grind but just can't before bug is fixed. It would suck to waste that time
@sly chasm do you mean that it was on my map, but i didn't check this particular lake on this particular rotation and then I restarted the game and it turned to level 4?
or actually i was probably on the lake and it rendered in, but I didn't see it :/
so did you shoot the GO just reading as you say you had a bad shot on one ? then didnt collect it ?
i hit a bad shot the level paused bit has me confused
Definitely bugged and not a GO
well if he shot the go and didnt get it and thought it may come back after closing game that was fixed so any dead animal wont come back if you close the game
i have heard of people going mp and them changing.
this is why i asked when he said he made a bad shot. as closing the game and not collecting it it would be gone
todays whitetail hunting going well shot 60 males today 😁
go-o-d daaaamn!
I didnt shoot it as i didnt have a clean shot, i traveled to another map and back to reset the zone, the other animals at the zone were unchanged but the great one had dropped to a lvl4
I also have graphical proof they are the same animal but can't talk about it as it would contravene rule J
#I didnt shoot either of my lost great ones. the first one was late at night and i shutdown to continue the next day and this recent one changed after trasvelling to yukon and back
Had two decent lvl 3 diamonds today so far
That’s 10 total with 6 trolls out of approx 2500-2700 kills
Doing ok I think lol
yeah sounds good been smashing em today about 75 males upto yet
trying to get a 100 today and should do that
If there's pressure, that's normal. Might want to go out looking for some other zones. You can take a shotgun along with you and pop some bunnies and ducks along the way to help take the hunting pressure off your WT zones
Ye i bring the 20ga, m1, and the longbow
I almost deleted a wt rest zone because 3 ducks flew above me
and i had a blind, not tripod
where should i look, i got the top half of balmont left, and most of the small lakes on the east side are done, the big left river is done, most of the top right river, haven’t checked the east coast yet.
Every piece of shoreline is worth a look.
And back from the water quite a ways. Some drink zones pop up over 100 yards from the banks
No wt at invis lake
it takes a while but finding all your zones does end up saving you a lot of time in the end
I found 3-4 zones last night
There's only two small lakes I know of that can't have them. The little lake that pokes out past the reserve boundary, and one in the far north part of the map just right of center
the two x'd out lakes you can ignore
there are also some good guides up on youtube that are worth checking out
Oh damn
thats alot of ground to cover
would you be fine with helping me look for zones?
at about 3:00pm est pc
Sorry no. I don't have a working mic or decent internet. I'll also be busy trying to grind out WT myself
the one big lake in the middle not circled can have quite a few whitetail round
i literally have about 30 around that one lake
true. this was my checkoff sheet for my second survery. was left unchecked since it's the last place i checked
I have 2 zones there
I didn't have one there first run through, but I have one now. Also a second herd that rests 50 ft from high lake, but drinks down at the river
Top left lake with x i have 2 zones at got my 274 diamond wt at it
LOL. I guess don't ignore it then. I have yet to see a living thing there in 3 playthroughs, but just shows you how random the zones are i guess
My top right lake and bottom left lake have never had single wt at it
3rd level 3 today was a troll rip lol
i smashed close to hundred bucks today hoping for a diamond atleast in next few respawns
tempted to count how many 85 - 100 kgs it takes to get one
or how many of those killed before a diamond respawns
just to see if there is any correlation
I've had them both at the bottom left lake, and the little hidden lake above it
the hidden lake had some great trophy whitetail from
Same
I have no zones at the middle river
**in around 40m i can play **
Yeah 100-300 is my daily count depending on how long I can spend on lol 😂 I’ve had 3x 3s today so far
Not sure if anyone has said anything about this, but whitetail do spawn at your lakes with the Xs
Yeah. Somebody corrected that already 👍
how should i hunt these coasts
what level
Only scored 265 but that’s my third diamond today
3
nice
Tree stand on one of the trees about 150 meters away and call them in
That’s how I do it
You won’t need to see far
i cant see them at all without spooking them
You won’t need to
they drink in a secluded area i cant see with anything
and im not sneaking up with a bow
You fast travel to tent then sneak to the stand and call
oh. im an idiot
I do it every time that way - I never see them in their zone at all
Yeah
Lol nah you’re good
Oooh I don’t remember the score, lvl 5 but can’t remember what rating is needed 🙈
i have a lvl 4 with up to 285
There zone could start late
Wierd I have like 2 that will randomly do it
I have 2 at the lake and 6 at the lake system
yeah it takes time for them to get there sometimes
it depends on how far apart their zones are
Have u looked really hard
I feel u
no zones.
big sad
nv,m
an 85-100 down
im confused
it says max capacity reached when i try to get into a ground blind
dafuq?
how fix
dismantle it and replace it
been tracking these wt for ages
DAY 2 COMPLETED
resulsts: no diamonds, no rares. nothing remarkable but i found a lot of zones ot help day 3
You don’t, you sacrifice that zone
Y
It's to much work
Just spam call using call glitch
and they are 100% sure to come
You get 3-4 grunt audio at a time
Call too much and you can spook them though
Huh?
I've never experienced it and I've definitely called animals like crazy before.
^^^^^
It is possible, but only if you REALLY try
I have that same zone almost exactly and it’s 100% worth keeping
I get anywhere from 3-7 ish whitetail there and it’s easy to just call them out
And spam calling is exactly how I do it, I’ll sit there spamming call for a min and boom they’re all in front of me
I’ve never managed to over call despite calling like that
just starting smashing whitetail refreshed the time and got a few nice 85 -100 kgs and though why havent i had a big 2 diamond yet and look who trots over the meadow i thought thats close
haha 😁
Oooh very nice!
I’ve slacked a little today, need to go through them again tonight
Just spent 10 mins debating with someone who says there’s no issues with whitetail respawning and that my “problems” (zones becoming inactive, or doe only, which I know some of the other grinders have found) are caused by me killing every deer in a herd, even though I always leave more than 1 in every zone 🙈
I want to shoot at least 100 more tonight if I can
Shot like 50 earlier
day 3 begins
I’ve managed to overcall once, just before SRP came out, I intentionally tried to. I called, and called, and called for about 5 minutes. They were almost in spooking range, when all of them immediately spooked at the same time
Woah cool!
Yeah see when I spam call I just hit it over and over lol
Like no glitch
If that makes sense
Shot 2 dimes so far today, an albino yesterday... things are happening 😁
Very nice!
Because it’s not efficient on time. The more whitetail you can kill the greater chance of a great one. Hey, but what do I know…….. I only have 3 great ones???
Lol
yeah i dont hunt it
i ought to try that strategy on lynx to try and consolidate them into a few areas
@rigid forge I would certainly try it on lynx. I would love to know how it works.
ok
i think i'll wipe the central river zones to force the lynx out of one of the most annoying places to hunt them
issue with deleting zones: need 4 animals to do so
@round kiln not necessarily. Just depends on the animal type for the zone your deleting.
luckily, lynx arent the only ones that drink in that area
If it’s just one animal using said zone, kill it and zone is dead
It is once you understand it.
I did a interview with ladylegendxo about our whitetail problems. Hopefully she gets the video out soon to help the community start finding the great one a little easier. My intel may not be 100% accurate but it’s working. I’ve shot 3 great ones 107 diamond, 28 level 3 trolls, and 26 rare whitetail. Just in last nights stream I shot 3 diamonds 2 rare and a level 3 troll
no diamonds yet
So I’m definitely not the only one having whitetail issues then. Kinda makes me feel better after having someone tell me I basically don’t have a clue
I’m getting normally a couple diamonds a day if I push hard and a couple trolls or rares, had one GO pushing for my 2nd
3 great ones! Nice pfp
There are definitely some whitetail bugs going on. So you are not alone
Thank you...was feeling a bit crummy so I’m glad to have a bit of a boost from that
I’m lucky enough to have a shitty map for whitetail
I’ve been tracking your daily counts a little on here. Congrats. I can give one piece of advice that might make the difference for you to get a second great one
Oh wow cheers! Sure go ahead I’m always willing to take advice
Mine was the worst at one point. 0 bucks on it almost. Then I started investigating why. Trial and error. Experimenting with things……. Now mine is covered in whitetail. So your map can recover
I hope lol
why were there no bucks
So some days I notice you have big days…… multiple diamonds, trolls and rare correct?
Yeah definitely
Can I Dm you man?
Do you shut your game down after each session?
sure
Depends on what you mean by session- I’ll grind sometimes for hours straight but then when going to bed etc that’s when I close it mostly. Or if my whitetail don’t show up I’ll reset by closing reopening - I hope that answers your question 😅
...what exactly is a "session" anyways?
time spent going for a big deer
That doesn't make sense
considering "session score" is a thing affected by animals that aren't deer
That does answer it……. I can’t preach this enough. If your game is HOT (like a hot slot machine) don’t shut it off (don’t get up from that machine) do what you have to to keep your game session going. Even if you have to go to bed, work, dinner, hospital. Leave your game running at all cost. You are on a heater and the potential to hit the jackpot (great one) is more likely to happen when your game is on a heater. Does all this make since?
Sounds like a good way to brick a computer
I’d love to but sadly I can’t often- I’ll try my best to do full days more. That does make sense tho
so leave a computer on for a long time
My first great one came off a heater and leaving the game on over night. My 2nd one came on a definite heater. You can kinda feel it to be honest. I even told my old lady like 20 minutes before I saw my second one, that I wasn’t getting off the Xbox that day because I felt it. I left the same game session going from the second one and it stayed hot for 700 more kills then my third one popped out. Lol. Then I decided to start streaming on twitch, and my game didn’t like that so it dashboarded me. RIP
I’ll definitely try it
I’m on a heater from last nights stream and hoping I can continue on today’s stream on the same heater if I don’t get dashboarded 🤞
As best I can
That’s all you can do. Good luck. Just offering a little knowledge and hoping it helps out
Thank you- I appreciate it! And like I said I was feeling pretty down on myself after that earlier discussion so having a chat with you has been great and made me feel less like I don’t know what I’m doing if that makes any sense! Thanks a ton man 👍
It does, if you have any questions, or want to bounce ideas off me don’t hesitate.
Thank you! 😄
I personally wouldn't risk it, considering my CPU gets to 85 degrees C when the game's running
this laptop cost $900 on sale and I don't want it to catch on fire
because god knows I won't be able to find a replacement anytime soon
Heck, my new Xbox series x is my personal space heater…… literally
Lol. Exactly
Works great for dual purpose in the winter time, but summer in Texas……. Not so good
pc only tried to kill me once
its summer in georgia
but down in the basement
its cold
Nice
Hi @rugged halo are you streaming today ? 😁
Just got a little piebald doe respawning- at least it’s something different lol 😆
So you still get respawns if you just stay in the game long enough??
I was always under the impression you need to close app
4000 or so kills in and not one rare or diamond. What am I doing wrong.
nothing
Just got my first lvl 3 of the day! Hope he makes it- he looks big!
Ah man just a gold but 95kg so a good boi
Lol yea that’s the 8th one
8th troll
I’ve had 11 diamonds and 8 trolls, 9 rares so far
I troll myself a hundred times a day cuz I’ll see a big lvl 2 in a bush that I can’t spot and I’m like 👀? Great one?? 😂
Fingers crossed you get some soon!
Oooh another lvl 3!!
This is very good
261 diamond yay
congrats
Cheers! I’ll try keeping going as long as I can - though it is 10pm for me lol
Yes I was, taking a break to cook homemade pizza. Will be back on in an hour or 2
Planning on going hard on the grind again today- maybe today’s the day I get lucky again 🤞
Just found my 1st lvl 3 of the day yay
Hope so man lol
Good luck and let the GO gods guide you to your trophy
263 diamond down yas
Thank you!! I really appreciate it!!!😄
o7
Hi everyone there is a question I still ask myself and I see a lot of people talking about it some say yes and others no , is there GO with rare fur ? is it 100% confirming that its exist ? 🦌
People cheat to get rare furs GOs, until someone gets one legit and can prove its legitimacy, I'd say no
Yea
Thanks 🙂
They do exist
I’m like 99.9% sure the devs themselves confirmed it
And ofc the fabled piebald is 100% a thing
Would pass out if I saw one lol
holy shit 😄 3rd 3 of the day, haven't seen a bigger one since they lowered the estimate
Nice! It was seeming to me that diamonds come in pairs, but maybe triplets as well
Pretty sure the devs have confirmed they exist, but the chances of one dropping are phenomenally low. Probably less than one in 1 million
Very nice!
Lol I just made a blind shot on a buck and it was a troll lvl 3
bruh
i got a lvl 3 with a max estimate of 255
Ooof
Fingers crossed he makes it somehow
I just found it so funny I make a complete risky shot cuz I couldn’t spot it and boom lvl 3
Also had a very wonky piebald just now
Good spawns today
I got a few diamonds that way
it was a month ago
t'was a troll
Rip
Oooh man that sucks
I messed up what would have been my biggest WT. sorry man
i had a 270 that i messd up
mine was a 274. really don't care that much. just another diamond. i'm out for the GO
That is an absolute mood honestly
I only like seeing lvl 3s because I think good respawns lol
it took me a few months to get it
That is THE GO rack. congrats
im super happy i ended up getting it
Congratulations man
Me- gets smol heart failure when I see a big lvl 2 in a bush thinking it’s da big boi
lol
Man I’ve not been the same since I got my first one
i shot a 270 albino a few days before getting that
Damnnnn
i hope i get a rare go its going to be a few years before i see another but still lol
That’s how I feel atm honestly lol
I’ve shot around 3100 so far on the 2nd grind
200 today alone
crosses fingers intently
i know one guy that got his within the first 1000
rip
i normally hunt on multiplayer but ever since the go came out ive been doing nothing but grinding wt
it might respawn as a diamond if you get it
how many setups u got?
Many
how many is many
Around 20-25
Oooh another lvl 3!!
I’ve seen 27
bruh
Kewl
I know that feel
up to 248 lvl 2 down
Nice!
Nice
I can only hope the amount of diamonds and lvl 3s I’m getting is a good sign. The last one though I had a terrible day with nothing then got him so who knows I guess 😂 never thought I’d get so addicted to grinding for something. I usually just hunt multiplayer 😂
all my hunting log is: mallards and WT
I'm up over 1,200 WT bucks now. Can't wait for it to be over honestly, but ima keep at it til I get what I'm after
idk. i think average is about 2,500 bucks but i'm not sure. some people have killed over 10k WT without getting a GO
and some got a GO before a diamond WT
yup. better pray to RNGeezus
guide me to a great one rngesus
Nice, though I dont dare start the grinding until the new bug fixes
Last two games crashed on me for seemingly no reason
Lost a diamond potential warthog too
Zones are BIG. probably at least a 100m radius from the icon/marker so be prepared for them to be anywhere in that area
And they're not on a time clock so they can show an hour early/late or not at all on any given day
Shot nearly 300 whitetail today dang
Had a couple zones go doe only so I’ve eliminated those
Will need to do a zone run
today...
thats more than I've probably ever seen
I’m slowly going insane lol
haha
Piebald lvl 1 just spawned lol
So 3x piebald 2 diamonds 1 troll today so far
But man this piebald is the smallest
103 score 😂
Hopefully for you!!
I set my time to 1pm always
So it gives them plenty of time to be there
And I reset to 1pm every time it gets past 2:30 - it’s been working better that way for me
Hi , Today during my GO grinding all it's fine to pass 118 WT kill but arriving on my second rotation I find but areas with only 3 WT and most of them are females and no bucks respawns ! What do I have to do ? expect ? or kill all females ? its never happened to me during all my grinding .... 3 000 WT kill 😟
wait for the bucks to respawn
I've always had bucks that have respawned but no , it's not normal ....
when you spot an elk and think its a great one
wait for bucks to spawn you can try fast forwarding the time. 4 or five days
sometimes shooting females at a zone but not killing it when bucks respawn they may go to the doe only zone
Kill more other places I would thank
i wish i had other places
Just watched lady legends vid with @rugged halo and it’s making rethink everything i know.. been hunting all my zones up til now. It takes forever, but I did shoot 3 lvl 3s on my last run so 🤙🏼 thanks for sharing with us!
Absolutely man. Congrats on your level 3s. I’ve always said a Diamond a Day will bring the Great One your way. 😝
Love the streams, hope you get your Mexican huddle GO mount soon 😝
thank you. thank you. im looking forward to streaming that grind
Taking a small few hour break from grinding to look for stuff in multiplayer because whitetail are slowly driving me crazy lol- maybe he’ll show up later when I start again
Day 4
Should i do a wt grind i am sorta new to the game and i don’t have a lot of tents and not a lot if tripods. I have found at least 40 zones but i need a better goal than just a GO
if the zone is still there there are still animals visiting
could be that they visit late or don't stay long
idk
its just annoying that i find a zone with many bucks
and its gone next run
nothing
at
all
is the zone still active?.. Is it still showing on yourr map?
yeah
It could be a big dude, they don't leave many prints and don't drink for long
i would spend time at this zone tbh
if you hunting for a great one do it because you want to and you might enjoy it. its not going to be easy and just read what people say try what works or dont work and take from it what actually works for you. tripods arent needed some use em some dont.
there is no right or wrong way to do anything its just what works for you
I have begun for the night and already my whitetail are mocking me
great one grind irl 😎
@pliant oak You have shoot a Great one ?
😏
why those specific emjois
emojis
it would have been free for you to not have used them
putting smirk after a normal sentence makes it weird
not yet
the thing is regardless of if you have one or not there is so many unknowns
so just take from what people say and see what works
@full cave I don't see what's wrong , I'm just curious ....
welcome to my humble abode 😏
Well there’s a lvl 3 on my first run of the day so I can’t complain too much
tax?
@pliant oak As I saw that you said to have recorded your most beautiful hunt I was just curious , can't wait for this one to come out on Youtube 😀
oooh yes its a special one
Question for ya: which do you think will come first: the Mexican great one huddle or a six-digit WT kill count?
Oh my…. I sure hope it’s the huddle. 😂
Haha I mean, you’re already like a quarter of the way to 100k kills
He's only at 15k I thought
Last I heard he was at like 25k
He’s at around 11,500
Lol. 15,000 for the GO whitetail grind. 25,000 total harvest
Lol only 3,500 off😂
Only 3,200 for 33 000 total harvest 😆
GRIM gunna post he got a piebald great one next i can just feel it
Ive heard it was a possibility
Grind Great one stats for this Week .
yeah every about 100 males should get a diamond or there abouts
what's the best way to always get your WT to respawn?
just kill more whitetail and dont blow the zones
i personally kill 2 at most at each zone
in between i kill mallards to kill hunting pressure
then when most fav zones are clear of hunting pressure i will fast forward time atleast 4 days shut game down
then start back up normally most places with no pressure will normally have respawned whitetail back by then
i think hunting pressure effects how many respawn back at a zone
as sometimes with say 1 patch of hunting pressure and you killed two buck only one will come back
takes 3-7 game days for them to respawn, and you want to try to get the hunting pressure off them before that if you can
Lmao if only
Not saying y’all are wrong. But mine will spawn with pressure, and also one day cycles work much better than advancing 3-6 days. I speak for Xbox, so what I have found may be a little different for other platforms. I just did a q&a with ladylegendxo if you haven’t seen her videos yet. It apparently has been helping a lot of people already. There will be a 3rd one as well
we all in same boat we give educated guesses based on our experiences
I'm not sure. I'm still shooting all my zones. I think you're the acknowledged expert here
Never takes me less than 4-5 game days to roll through all of them. I did notice my pronghorn zones got weird when I was shooting them every day even if i got the pressure off them
We really need a gallery of all the great ones that have been shot so far, would be really cool to see all the different variations that were shot so far 😄
i'll add my silver level 4
think that's kind of the point of this thread 🤣
Yea but I meant like just a gallery, not with a chat attached to it 😄 Like the other galleries you feel me 😄
I’ve killed 4K and nothing.
something not right there then
avg about 100 males per diamond
have you checked all your zones ?
or you hunting a few repeatidly
Everything. Every zone I’ve got.
hey man, sometimes that's just how it is
i think the important part is just not giving up
I’m about to stop till the new map.
Smoking fallows
yeaaah g
to get animals to respawn you just go to your lodge and reset then time right?
the lodge thing ive never heard
and i dont think its real
but theres a bug so instead of changing time id quit to desktop
then change time once your back
closing game down after changing the time may help animals respawn back
most people do 4 - 7 days fast forward time then close game
i have about 80 diamonds from 8000 kills so pretty spot on!
yeah i have about 30 diamonds from 3000 ish
also with grinding the last week and shooting 600 males
i had about 5 or 6
I have 0 lol
I had one diamond a day for a week and 2 on one of those days when i was grinding hard, i was killing between 100 and 200 so this seems to be a very acceptable ratio
although it was closer to 1 every 200 during that time i guess
okay now i can say rancho del arroyo is now the new king of whitetail homes 😁
i just made a new guide for whitetail hunting there and im sure many of you will be like wowsers ! 😁
hope it helps all when you get on there
ooo
Lol it's insane
is there a lot of them?
give the video a watch then pick your jaw up 😁
Are there? I didn't even go hunting them specifically and kept running into them constantly 😄
But Ron has the details so check it out 😉
yeah i spent few days specifically searching them out
so it's like layton whitetail drink time but all the time?
ill watch it after ormy's lol
im loving his bow skills in this video
Nice too see someone else who appreciates the holdover method, and how easy it is once you get the hang of it...I've never used the range perk!
I need to get a GO on layton before i go to rancho. At the moment after losing two GO's to the bug means i have no desire to grind. If they fix it and i hope they do, that will be my main aim for the coming weeks, months
My fear is that by the time i get one, everyone will have one 😆 😆 😆
@sly chasm I also had a Great one broken , a level 3 diamond whitetail of 105kg and the max is 100kg ....
yea its ur great one
Are you sure that the photo I send is great one?
someone proved it by losing 2 GO's
nothing, unfortunately
we're pretty sure its your great one
we hope its a bugged lvl 3
We so many more bugged ones killed then GO so I doubt they are all bugged GO
Imagine troll GOs
they exist, i think
They dont exist
you right thanks for the guide, and i like the new tail on wt model in mexico
Lvl5, lvl4 and Overweight 3's are all great ones that have bugged... They happen within seconds of the great one spawning... Mine spawned as 105 and 109kg and trophy ratings 540 and 630.. But the weight dropped to 85kg and the racks were gone!
I backed up my pop file when the second one spawned and everytime i use that pop file it turns into a lvl4... About 50 times now 😭😭😭
So ur duping it in order to try and get it bc ur petty got it
Eh? @iron valve
U keep reloading a pop file which dupes the GO so u can try and get a non bugged one
Dupes?
I saved my progress which is what you do in any game when you want to keep something.. Same if you are writing a book or creating a database... Saving your progress is not a bad thing...
Reloading that save in order to get something u couldnt get before is cheating
Then it wont be counted
Why?
Bc u cheated to obtain it
I havent cheated
Messing with ur files when ur not supposed to is cheating 😂
Using the backups to obtain an animal is cheating
They are my backups nobody elses
Doesnt change the fact that its cheating
You are something else man 😂 😂 😂
The mods will have to tell then I suppose
Making a backup at a critical stage of a game is not cheating in any way shape or form
It is when ur using it to dupe an animal bc u got unlucky
How did i get unlucky... I got lucky... There is a bug so i have saved my progress and i will procede once its fixed
Lol
You should always keep backups... EW suggested this when we lost our lodges
Using backups to obtain a GO is cheating end of the story
Its my own backup you crazy fool 😂😂😂
Tbh i dont think it will be fixed... At least i will be able to report if it has been fixed or not
I’m so confused how is it cheating he’s not getting multiple hes just waiting for the bug to be fixed
@celest dragon the guy is deluded 😂 😂 😂
Abusing pop files and constantly messing with your files when you shouldn't be is cheating
I havent done anything to the file, just backed it up
Thats essentially going back in time
^
To my understanding he hasn’t he’s waiting for the bug to be fixed
Hes going back in time to go get a GO in a illegitimate way bug or not ur suppose to move on not mess with the files
Its my great one ffs, nobody elses...
But it’s not messing with the files he’s saving his game
It is messing with the files
Still cheatin
So are you saying that if I save my game which has a diamond on because I have to eat and I come back I’m cheating
Hes isnt saving his game tho hes messing with files to get a GO
I got caught out by the bug once... I swore it wouldnt happen again and if the bug is fixed it hasnt 😂😂😂
He isn’t he saving his game
He isn’t spawning one in he has go bugged and he waiting for it to get fixed
I have saved my game and i have stopped my grind, so im not even going back in time
He’s not going back in time he has save a game that has a bugged GO on it and is waiting for the bug to be fixed. He is not going back in time because he has stopped playing for wt and is waiting for the bug to fixed
U didnt have the animal tho u had a bugged one not the actual thing therefore no it's not urs
I had the animal, it was a great one ... The bug turned it into a lvl 4
If i didnt have it my saved pop file is useless
Hopefully the fix will turn all bugged ones back into great ones... In that case i wont even have to load my backup... My 4 is still alive and well in a drink zone by roonache bridge 😂😂😂
If you had a GO on your map that was bugged and you waited for this update so that it would be fixed are you then cheating
If I mess with the files then yes
I havent messed with any files
If the one on his map right now changes then hes fine but if he messes with the files to get it to work then its cheating
Just backed them up
He just has another save with the same every thing in case one gets damaged from a bug
When we all lost our lodges years ago we were told by the devs to keep them backed up... How is this any different?
I keep my whole hard drive backed up... Is that cheating?
If you had a save with all your diamonds on it in a lodge and they all got deleted by a bug and you have a back up save with everything the same and you load that save up and the lodges aren’t broken you’re cheating correct
All this is irrelevant cos there wont be a fix... They cant even fix the simple things
I just hope I managed to save it before it got bugged 😂😂😂 I think i did cos it still had the massive rack when i alt tabbed
if anything he got cheated out of a great one by the damn game.. he is not messing up with the files, he just has a backup..what's wrong with you?? google what backup means.
you can ask you "favourite" streamers if they have a backup
of course he does..
yeah flinter's smart
Anyone who is smart keeps a backup.... Those who are very smart make tactical backups 😂😂😂😂😂
but they use it when the critical case with them progress, and not to use to pop up GO on that map. i got 2 lv 4 when i grind GO but i just kill them and try to grind again
Well they were GOs, you just didnt see them right after they spawned, reloaded the map and hence they were lvl 4s
just grind and find what the meaning of the GO
Lol
If its a lvl 4 just accept your loss and shoot it
It's like getting punished out of a trophy for reloading the map.
Could happen through a crash or anything
While i have not saved any lvl 4 files i do not see the slightest issue with getting it
Except maybe that his experience wont be as amazing lol
It's not a GO just because it's not level 10.
The lvl 4s and 5s are GOs that spawned before you reloaded and then turned into 4s and 5s after reloading
So it is a GO technically
Its not
He just reloaded the map
It's a lv 4 or 5 not a GO
That is why its a lvl 4 or 5
If it's something that not all platforms can do it can be viewed as cheating
If you see it that way it is fair i guess
But wouldnt that mean that turning up the graphics to max would also be cheating since you cant do it on console lol
But i get what you mean
But it is still fair to backup imo
Doing backup files is fair until u abuse it
And abusing a backup file to obtain an animal u wouldnt get otherwise is cheating
yeah is fair to back up but thats not fair if you want to pop up some animal
that right
@iron valve what do you call a GO that magically turns into something else?
A overleveled whitetail
you think this is a game mechanic?
It isnt and neither is messing with files
I mean i see how it might be shitty for some of the console players but the thing is the person didnt lose it through his own fault but because the developers screwed up
If we are talking about reviving messed up diamonds on your own fault it is something else imo
But in this situation the animal was taken because the devs did shit
also this entire conversation is obsolete, because changes in this game are never retroactive, which means that there's no point in keeping that backup 🙂
Oh damn
Either way it goes I'm not gonna change yalls opinion and yall arnt gonna change mine so we might as well move on
Ye
A bugged great one. Harvest it and move on. Put in more work and quit waiting for a miracle. Just saying @iron valve is correct. Console players can’t just wait around on a save file and hope the game gets fixed. Take the lose and grind on. I would have 4 great ones right now, but the bug took one. So guess what…… I’m grinding for a 4th. That’s my two cents. Have a good one folks and good luck out there in your hunts. “A diamond a day will bring the great one your way” -Grim
I have 8000 kills 82 diamonds, 20+ piebald and 11 albino... I know what it is to grind, lad!
@jovial snow i backed up when it was still a great one
@full cave i did see it as a great one
@rugged halo console players can get a file explorer... Just saying😉
So ur encouraging console players to cheat
No @iron valve I'm saying they can and do.... They can also perform backups
I have 15000 whitetail kills since April 1st. 3 great ones, 1 bugged great one, 110 diamonds, 30 level 3 trolls, 30 rare. So I know how to grind as well lad.
All on Xbox. No file manipulation. Just a fun good ole console grind. I hope you get that great one. Enjoy
that grind comment was aimed elsewhere
I have 8000 kills 82 diamonds, 20+ piebald and 11 albino... I know what it is to grind, lad!
Oh. Lol no worries. Nice grind by the way. Very impressive. Great stats as well in it. Keep going, and good luck.
It seems to be a pattern for everyone 100 kills + 1 lvl3
istopped shooting them once, i had 11 i think at one time... when i gave up and shot them i had my first GO spawn in.
It's also a reason why there isn't a lodge tour on my youtube channel... People will see that i harvested 11 diamonds in 2-3 days and they would point the finger!
i said this a while ago maybe leaving threes may help
as my thinking was the game maybe replaces whitetail back after starting game back up
if you already got 3s then maybe it will replace higher with one of the males killed
i guess it comes down to if there is a really complicated system behind the spawning or if its all just random
you would have to be really dedicated to just harvest all but leave just diamonds 😁
what ive noticed already on the new rancho map while it seems very easy to get whitetail at the start the numbers drop quickly and with pressure there is no ducks like layton. some places also have thick brush bushes and such round lakes so grinding will start off really fast there but slow down quickly. it will be interesting after 400 - 500 how it compares to layton
@pliant oak the released build might differ slightly from the dev build you have been playing on
I hope it does to be honest those massive herds just look like they've simplified things to me....
Whereas layton had them spread around the whole map they seem very localised on rancho... Whether the devs realised or not those whitetail are going to be the main attraction
The great one will be the attraction but even that is still not for everyone
this is why im saying maybe it wont be as easy after a little grinding
maybe...
one swipe around the middle lake and you instantly notice the difference next hunt actually trying it now
numbers drop dramatically
so you will have to hunt else where
to get those whitetail back
this is where layton for eg with the zones spread out may over the corse of the grind for a great one maybe actually easier
as you have mallards everywhere for eg to help with hunting pressure
also the whitetail being split up
this will take a good while to figure out though
i cant wait for rancho to drop
Im looking forward more to the bug fixes than the map... Although its probably going to mean a whole new breed of bugs 😩
WT herds are probably just like Layton. Just meaning u may start with a big herd and then after u start killing from that giant herd they split and spread out all over.
☝️
Hey everyone I’m new to discord so I’m trying to figure it all out.
i think they will be in same areas on this map but you will probably have to manage them better than layton as on layton they are spread out more
No that's not what I was saying. NVM.
I am always impressed when i see her 🤩 
i understand what you saying but i dont think it will be the same as layton
groups seem to be bigger but in a few locations
where as on layton they are spread out everywhere
on rancho theres less zones, but more wt in the zones, right?
i dont think the lakes that have loads will split over the map
once killed
so you will have to manage better than maybe layton
i think so basically bigger groupings
