That's what all of us are doing just in different ways
anyone knows how many whitetail drink zones there are on rancho so I find them all before shoosting?
I have about 20 or so on my map
It differs between people though so you might have more you might have less
If you scroll up a bit, Fisherman posted a photo of the 8 lakes they drink at mainly
So Im like 2000 Whitetail in and I'm wondering
Do level 3's being in a herd make it more likely a GO will spawn?
I don’t think so
Same here lol
from what ive seen its spawn is random but more likely for it to spawn from shooting a diamond.
I have 32 zones on my Rancho, and I'm pretty confident it's all of them
ive talked about this a lot recently i have 3 level 3s and a piebald in groups
whether it makes a difference a not whos knows
worth a try 😁
Many of the zones have multiple herds. From my estimate (from clicking on the zones) I think Rancho has about 300 WTs on a map
Oh my
yeah ur prob right wootz, i wanna go and actually count how many i have some day
Eh that's too much work 😂
lol yea tbh id probly get confused and have to recount the same herd 20 times
with the big herds
True I second guess myself way to much
yeah i figure if im off like 4-5 deer it wont make a difference just wanna know a rough idea
Holy crap
I just found mine
I got to figure out how to record it. It's the drop tines one
Haha, I just do it when I run over to the zone to harvest. It's just a rough estimate. I've probably double counted a bunch too. lol
Nice
Why does it take half of their drink time just to get to their damn drink zone
Oh dw about it then
Mule deer
I didnt partake nor did i hear about the survey so yes in a sense
I just heard that people kept saying they would only do base game GOs
They asked what people wanted for the next GO and mule deer and red deer had the most from what people said they picked
congrats
Video Coming one sec
Idk what the actual survey results were tho
Too big for discord apparently
But from the like 40 people I asked those two came up the most
Easy to make. They could use the pine tree models and stick em on the red deer heads 😂
😂
fallow or mule deer would be my vote
See Rule F
It's for proof
Legitimacy
If there weren't so many hackers around, I wouldn't have posted one so blame them
@fast ridge cut him some slack lol
Mods would've slapped him
honestly, none of this would even happen if people just read the hecking rules
Awa' an bile yer heid
Harvest screens are just as good for proof.
Would the mods REALLY have cared if it was just for proof
Again, harvest screens
uh wonky one, nice!
yep pretty much except me lol
drop tine/non typ ones
yep, in my opinion though its a little too strict
Yes, posting links to your YouTube is against server rules. I think if you have proof that it's a legit harvest, dm it to a mod and we can confirm it in chat. I appreciate you adding proof @toxic gorge and congrats on the GO. But yeah, that rule is just to stop people coming in and self promoting. Congrats again.
TacticianLyra is correct, full harvest screens ( not trurac ) showing kill info etc.
So you're saying that if it was a standard video, it wouldn't be against the servers rules?
No. If you have a YouTube video, you can't post a link here, it's self promotion. But your video was for proof reasons. I'm just saying, next time ( or for anyone reading this ), dm it to a mod.
Sounds good
oh that'd be awesome to see
That mule deer built like a dd thumbnail
Way too big to be realistic lol
It looks alot better than any DD thumbnail
@solar pumice ie most whitetail racks
Lmao
@balmy summit true, but they dont look goofy big
That mule deer rack is a but much imo
yeah just for fun 😆
where.is.my.gr8 1 lol
@velvet bough that 3 trolled didnt it
this one, its gonna spawn off this one 😆
i wish lol
it did spawn off the last 43
or the last 23 that i got off rancho alone
I got 32 white tail drink zones is that about all of them? on rancho
told you i had 36 so at least that
@balmy summit and how many of them ur grinding on ? I think my map has 32 only
@real radish I do two cycles, but only 20 overall
as long as you're hitting zones consistently and getting consistent respawns
damn today been good smashing em
just done a run 4 level 3s
2 diamonds two trolls and a piebald
😁
cant wait to see respawn
Nice
@pliant oak in one run????
yeah id save 2 threes though for about a week
to see if anything spawned with em also the piebald
so two new 3s and those other two and the piebald
3 diamonds and a piebald today 🙂 lookin good
First diamond of the Rancho grind
u guys reset game and time after every run?
i go to main menu before every time reset.. dont know if i has anyting to say, but i do it just in case.. 4 diamonds and one piebald today
Feel like the rack wouldn't be that big but bigger than regular diamond with a touch of more irregular features @keen oar
thx, but its just luck and hours put in 😉
and btw.. make sure u hunt this lake.. its been insane for me.. i have gotten at least 10 diamonds there alone.. and its always lots of bucks there.. i shot 2 diamonds there today, and one troll..
yep that lake is pretty good,, ty
ofc it might be random, and not the same for u.. but worth checking out 🙂 i hunt every zone on my map.. i just mix it up
probably close to maxing out tripods lol
why do some of my zones reduce down to one doe if i always leave two or more
idk.. it happend to me as well.. i just leave that zone be for a while, and then they get populated again after a while
lol, i time reset first, and then go back into main menu ...no one knows what works, everyone has a different way of doing it which is interesting
yea.. i do it cuss i saw a video from a dude who has 2 GO's, and he said he does it lol.. so at least it doesnt do any bad 😉
if it were scaled down a bit it would be actually so sikck
Dropped a lvl 3 with a max estimate of 295 and then my game crashed...
I dropped 4 lvl3 today and only one made it
TBH I feel like the smaller Whitetail Diamonds are more interesting
Usually more unique and cool looking
I really like the 260s ones
Mine to
Guess I'm tripping then
The one u posted is really nice tho all the 260s look the best imo
this one, right? similar
yeah... agreed. Look much better than the 270s
The 270s are just to much
yea, i bagged one yesterday as i got back into the grind.
just too much
and too perfect to be realistic, lol
is this a good white tail
I come back in the game and all of my tents and tripods are gone from my map
I am going to have to redo all of my tents and tripod placements and spend another 500k, damn
At least my zones and everything else stayed except for the tents/tripods. But, when I first entered the game I did get a message saying “You don’t own this reserve. Taking you to the base game” even though I could enter Rancho
Yea ive experienced that before. Nothing sucks harder than that. Hopefully one day they'll fix that issue. Did it wipe them all out from all your maps or just 1? It completely wiped every single map when it happened to me. Lost over 1.5 mill in equipment
Thankfully just the one
It’s my fault for not backing it up via Steam. I need to do that more often
I just keep a copy of my files in a separate folder so if something corrupts I can figure out which file, or if u just wanna replace them all just copy paste
I have a copy ready to go but that’s weeks old. I would risk losing my trophies I got after making the copy
Yeah, that's what sucks. I'd always make a new copy any time u get something really cool
been alternating layton and rancho and layton is a lot harder now spent some time on it
bagged a nice moose along the way 😁
nice
Um where did a lot of the chat go😂. It went poof
wym? its here for me
^
Unless I was thinking of the chat from yesterday it seemed like a bunch of stuff was deleted
Nothing was deleted afaik
Sometimes my deer are there at 8:30 and sometimes they're not there at 10
I don't get it
happens to most of my zones
what species?
Animals can show at various "times" within the "need zone times" so to speak and"leave" within various times. Just cause it says the need zone time says it starts at 8:30 doesnt mean they'll be there right at 830. SRP is prime example. Mule deer drink at 9-930 to 10-1030. They almost always show at 9:45 and then leave at 10 sharp. A few herds stay till 10:30. So the animals can show at virtually any time within the "need zone time" and leave at any time within the need zone time. If that makes sense
Tdoggs right
@full cave So they're never there for any set amount of time?
That's why my runs are so inconsistent?
after a time reset, I find it generally allow 10-15 mins in game time for the herds to reach their drink zones.
if there is no deer on your 1st spot, fast travel to your next one until u find some, and then circle back to the earlier zones
how many zones are u farming? after a couple of runs, you generally get a feel of which herds typically reach their zones earlier.
@regal cosmos I just go through every zone, hit the grunt a few times, wait, and move on
No strict routine. Just wherever I see whitetail
for your next few runs, try identifying which zones generally get bucks in earlier than others, then work out a routine thereafter.
i know everyone's map is different, for examples, on mine, my first lake is the one in the center (the one where u spawn when u first start), then the Australia looking lake, then the small lake above Australia lake.
if i dont see any deer on a particular lake, i just move on the next and come back later.
on my map, the center lake, i almost always get deer already drinking at the zones after the time reset and by the time i run there from the outpost.
Its not exact science, but it worked for me when i started a more of routine on the rancho grind. 🙂
@balmy summit how many bucks on average are u getting per hour btw?
@regal cosmos In game or irl
irl I’d say 20-30
also
theres this one zone that’s reduced down to 1 buck
it went from 3 bucks 1 doe
i only ever shot at most 2 bucks
and another zone with 2 bucks and 2 does
never shot more than 2
that one just has 2 does now
I'd say if u are getting those number of bucks down per hour consistently, thats pretty good already.
well its not CONSISTENT per say
more like most of the time and sometimes every other run
about the bucks and zones, its hard to say really. i've experienced that before, kill them all off, and eventually they return
just delete the zone ??
are u on rancho or layton?
rancho
and ur getting doe only herds right?
u dont delete them per say, i shoot them all if it is a zone that i want bucks to spawn back in. But i dont delete the zone (drink icon still there)
o whats going on i just assumed lol
if i get doe only zones in some less favorable zones. i let them be.
do u realise, that on Rancho, that there are actually no mega herds of 12 - 15 bucks like some in Layton?
theres a few mega herds
they turned doe only
they are actually not
yeah they do turn doe only usually
they are a few herds using the same zone
same thing to me
so they look like mega herds
sometimes i will see it say 12-15 deer then have 4, and then 3 stuff like that
yeah
at the top tiny lake
top tiny lake, i have 3 herds, ranging from 4-6 deers
but i realise that there are no one huge herd so to speak
in layton, i used to get maybe 2 or 3 mega herds, that have 10 -15 deer
i dont think it makes much difference to the grind, but just an observation
the way i see it, is if its all using the same zone and they all come in at the same time its one herd even if it says multiple
cuz either way no matter what u do, some zones u cant keep from erasing
so i just shoot all bucks. at the top tiny lake ive shot 5-12 deer each time im there w no issues
i use tripods on that lake,
i use too many tripods
and just shoot all bucks that i can basically.
and never have herds go doe only anymore
even shooting alll bucks from the herd wont turn them doe only now
bring the 300 along, and if its too far to harvest or are floaters, dont bother. when u reset the game, they respawn anyway
the only thing that does make something doe only is if u shoot a herd all the way down to 1 deer (doesnt matter if its a "megaherd" they will respawn still if other deer are using the zone)
i still just go M1 because of faster follow ups and i think it has 1 more bullet in the magazine
but thats just my personall preference
i keep the muzzle loader on me for the great one
im not sure what i wanna shoot it with
lol, i used the 243 on my first and bearclaw on my 2nd
im def not going w any kind of bow lol
@regal cosmos you have two go’s?
Cross bows are good
dont think i got the pack w the crossbow
yea, my 1st was after only about 250 kills, and my 2nd was after 3100
do show do show
do you have the two fighting?
i was determined to get one
is that a diamond piebald?
it was common?
yeap
we need more multimounts
when u get it, it will be even sweeter - it made u work hard for it
they needa start pumping them out regularly
agreed
itll be the only 7k+ kills great one
a record
If I get one lol
i got a couple days off work the next couple weeks, so it will be hardcore grinding again for me i think haha
I did get a bugged one
you will, its a numbers game. in a long run (however long that is) it will even out
Yea hopefully but the bugged one tho should've been one
your 7k kills, its not only rancho tho, right?
u counted the kills before the update?
niceee
can deer respawn in the same run???
i think i just had two respawn within to in game hours
yeah
they respawn instantly actually to maintain the map pop
from what ive seen at least.
but even if its not the case ive had animals spawn in a zone ive shot deer from, came back like 2 minutes later after shooting a deer somewhere else and already had respawns
back on layton today some more grinding 😁
smol one
melas always cool not seen one since my big one
had a piebald few days ago was a level 2
Yea alot cooler than seeing a piebald that's for sure I'm tired of them
Unless it's 210+
little tip for those on updated layton if you have your zones and they arent there just change time again and go back. sometimes this puts the whitetail where they should be
its deffo a lot harder because of the travelling whitetail.
only 200 kills into the grind and not one diamond shot, what a monster!
200?
yes 200-250
so the smaller the scoring the smaller the rack it seems
has there been any high scoring gos that arent that rack
not in the 600s
how did u get a great one before a diamond
Yeah, it's entirely possible. They just got EXTREMELY lucky
I still have yet to see one above gold though lmao
i was playing on console and decided to get a pc at the start of this week and i started looking for all my whitetail zones 2 days ago and only just started grinding for them on pc 2 days ago i got an albino last night and a piebald this morning just before the great one, id shot an 85-100 buck at that zone last night but it only scored around 230s i think
i have shot alot of 85-100 kg white tail over the past few days
Do u have a picture with the shot info
yes 1 second i think
Yeah, if it was the right weight but not the right score you may have messed something up on your shot/s
what do you mean not the right socore?
If it should've been a really high score for that weight and you didn't get it then that means you probably messed up the shot
i dont have a picture of the shot i had to take it on my phone because i didnt no how to screen shot
i thought the same its nearly max weight
no i didnt mess up the shot i double lunged it
yeh its still a good trophy rating but i no what you mean
Yeah, a good deer is a good deer regardless
its just mad that i havent seen a diamond yet but yet that deer spawned
Can u show latest harvest?
Yeah, some people just get really lucky
Others like me just shot their second gold whitetail and still haven't seen a diamond
it wont be on my lastest harvest yet
If u just shot it it would
i shot that deer this morning
some people got them with one kill just down to what the hunting gods decide 1 kill or 10000
😁
i think its just random and maybe nothing to do with diamonds
it must be because i thought i was going to be in it for the long run
yeah it can be short or long haul i had both the long and short
so i know what you mean
i watched you shoot yours on layton, and i was on console at that point but i was really struggling with my zones so i decided to get a pc and the gods much have been looking over me this morning
yes i agree, i havent been on layton yet on my pc for whitetail i should do now, rancho seems to hold alot more whitetail, so congrats to you for your greatone off layton
i killed probably 400 - 500 whitetail in last week on layton i think i could do double that on rancho in same time but i have been trying new things
thing is rancho starts out fast then they start moving around
once you get into the grind a bit
im probably about 800 - 900 on rancho
so hoping i get something soon try and get that huddle going 😁
id love to get one off layton now, when i was on console id shot so many whitetail, rancho seems to have so many 85-100kg bucks it reminds me of the fallow deer on te awaroa
ive just realised you can see the harvest check on that picture and they are all fine
@pliant oak I got 300kills on rancho yesterday
How all of us console players are gonna be when it comes out 🤣 even tho we still have no damn date 😂
https://c.tenor.com/v0cBeb_yBgUAAAAM/its-been84years-titanic.gif
you do but i do wonder if they even matter or make a difference to a great one
maybe they do for getting a diamond then maybe that triggers a go dunno
bruh, 200 kills
300 kills on rancho yeah not too hard with zones set up
with new update on layton id say its probably half that if you lucky
currently people on console can do 300 on layton
its just the hunting gods when they decide its your time
😁
id say it took me maybe 4000 total before first one
then not many after for 2nd
im currently close to 1000 on rancho and about 500 in on layton
trying for third
gl
thing is now you can just slaughter and not pick up
which makes a huge difference time wise to how many you can kill
oo
But but but, u need ze monies
or do ya?
not really
saying that you soon get through cash with bullets
on grinds
specially rancho
so, if there’s a good way of slaughtering, is there a good way of respawning
just make sure you have no hunting pressure
i also fast forward one day after the run
shoot turkey
I've been using bows for the most part
can clear whole zones in a couple of places
low scorers just blast with whatever
as a bonus you get diamonds in those species you slaughtering for hunting pressure
Bow shots from blinds leave the tiniest amount of HP so that you legit just have to nail something somewhere else to wipe it
mine just come alittle quicker than some others not that im complaining, anyway you keep up with your content im a big fan
that wouldnt work for me as i often shoot 300m plus
so bow shots would be super amazing lol
Yeah I set up tripods right at the zones
i run round on rancho bang bang bang upto 400m shots on run
recorded the first lake other day shot about 20 -25 in 2 minutes
😁
obviously gotta be accurate
I used Grimms method
So u shot 2 bucks per zone
2 bucks per zone more relevant to Layton i guess. At Rancho, just blast away without the consequences ... they'll appear at one of the 8 lakes anyway. 😄
True
36th Lvl 3 of the grind, 4,180 kills in.
Diamond #31 of the grind, 4,220 kills in
Lucky mf....jk lol
Lol I’m anything but lucky😂, no great Juan
same dude
Man I can't wait for rancho im going for bobcats but as soon as I get either a rare or blue diamond its great juan
literally shot 2 diamonds 3 mins apart
i think about 150 yards of eachother. shot the 2 picked it up got in tripod and looked over and he was there too
nice, big bucks are spawning 👍🏾
I been shooting big ones the entire grind basicially lol
well, these are not big anymore only great one is big lol
thats the thing with this grind - diamond WTs aren't impressive anymore
lol
I'd even stop taxing some of the small rack diamonds....😄
yeah, i mean im taxing them cuz ima have a whole room of them
Shot two diamonds apart but yet you ain't lucky 🤣🤣
it will happen just gotta stay positive and keep smashing them whitetails
im actually still enjoying the grind
getting other bonus diamonds while after great ones
still need to bag a diamond bobcat and peccary even though shot loads of em
I don’t have many diamond whitetails nor do I have any rares/uncommons so any that I get before I get a GO will be treasured
All these huge diamond whitetail hurt my soul because I had a level 3 whitetail on console that was up to 255 and was 251
tbh on the grind level 3 trolls are pretty common
I had one. They are certainly not fun
if you hunt hard on rancho and killing a lot daily you will probably get one a day
just see them as part of your journey for a GO
just got these 2 .. standing right next to each other .. biggest brother was not there.. sadge ^^
yeah nice when you get a good respawn
sure is.. shot 170ish today, and didnt get a diamond before now.. had a troll and many big ones almost made diamond
but i got 3 2 days ago, and 4 the day before that
going hard at it tho.. killing 250-300 a day
yeah you have some days where nothing then you get a good respawn and like 2 or 3 3s
im hoping for a diamond mela or diamond albino
yea.. i cant complain.. i got a at least one diamond every day, usually more.. im only about 1500 kills in, and probably 15-20 diamonds.. havent counted
i started counting 3-4 days ago..
but its been hard especially from coming from rancho
i can do that there in like 1 half days
layton 4 -5 days
yea.. i was on layton a few days ago, and i found 45 zones
travelling constantly is really making it hard on layton
a lot of them are similar to mine but the mid river where you have a few i dont which is odd but they will probably move again soon
i havent hunted em yet, so idk if they move
also one small lake on the right i normally get whitetail only got blacktail now
yeah when you do grinds on layton you do notice zones change move as you progress
rancho doesnt really matter as they just go round the same lakes
true
if i get a GO on rancho, i might go test out layton
just to get a change lol
its just a case of trying different things and see what works for you
yeah thats why i been on layton mainly last few days
right now im just slaying all bucks i can.. and if a zone go bad, i delete it..when i do that, then suddely there is a lot more bucks in other zones..
sure is
then jump down the bottom of the map then slay all
clear hunting pressure then reset day one day forward start again
i dont do that.. i hunt so many zones, that i just hunt different zones until pressure is gone, and i go back.. doesnt take long.. i have a tripod in my pocket, and i have set up tons of em all over..
yea ^^
I once found a glitched pack of mallards
were stuck and didnt flee
pretty good for my hunting pressure
when i was hunting just 8-10 zones, i went to slay pheasants and turkeys.. also some mules
lol
Lol I had that happen with a flock of teals. Free handgun score 😛
nice
my handgun score still is really low
been hunting geese with the 22 to get it up
i dont pay attention to my gun scores.. i have everything unlocked, so it doesnt matter 🙂
yeah the only thing I want is the handgun scope
good luck
thx, u too, if ur doin it
is THE GREAT ONE on xbox or just PC?
Both
been grinding LL for a few days but no sign
You’ll need to spent quite some time grinding. Some people don’t see one until they hit around 3000 harvests, others 2000, some 5000
Depends on your RNG
So it could be out there even on your first hunt?
It could but it would be extremely rare
shout to Ron McTUbe BTW for dedication.
Best chances is that it spawns from a respawn
anyone know if your tent is too near a drinking zone does that prevent spawning or no?
If it’s too close (within 200 meters I think) animals will not be loaded in until you get far enough away
But it won’t prevent spawns
200m? why not 100m or 250m? thie should be clarified
I might be wrong but that’s what I go by
lol...noone knows
You don’t want your tent to be too close to a zone
Someone might know better than I but I am the only one responding right now
true....thx for the opinion....just wish more detailed hunting notes existed. Its a fine art!
The more you play the more knowledge you’ll gain
Knowing exact numbers is not always required
e.g. how close can you get on ATV or semi prone before you spook
ATVs spook from very far, around 400-500 meters?
and 150 for semi prone
backpack = equipment so always have shit loads lol
Generally if the wind is good you can get as close as almost 20-30 meters from an animal semi prone if you have good coverage
I find the walking too slow in general...sometimes its a drag
If I need to get to a zone I will run to about 150 meters before I start crouching if I can’t see the animals
If I can see them I can tell by their behavior and their warning calls if they are onto me
agree
All the way out to end of render distance
i would avoid using backpack.. u spook a lot easier, both visual and sound.. how much depends on size.. its not needed.. i have 2 rifles, .45 colt, 3 scopes, 3 callers and tripod without backpack.. M1 and .303 are light.. 3,5kg.. i also have the perk that make u carry more
I don’t use a backpack either
without backpack u can sprint until ur 150m away from animals.. then u can walk for a bit.. maybe until ur like 80-90m
I couldn’t remember the render distance
i just use the bumbag
yea, that one is not so bad.. but i still avoid using bag at all.. have no need for it either 🙂
normally i dont carry with me a tripod, its just for the grind.. so then i can have everything i need without
i wish they would add presets tho.. it would be nice to swap loadout with one click
yea, presets would be a real qol thing.. should be able to save maybe like 5 loadouts pr reserve or something.. lets say u want to go hunt geese.. then u have ur geese loadout set up like u want it, ready to go etc
just let us buy more bullets more efficiently would be a good start
spaming click + enter 20 times to get some bullets is not very fun
Enter the number you want and bam
yeah, like specify you wanna buy X stacks of ammo, up to the amount you can afford
that would be perfect!
so i heard you dont have to pick up animals in order for them to respawn , just have to ,ill them is that right?
kill***
i saw someone write something about that.. could try to test it tho.. if u have a small herd with only 4 animals or something, then kill one, and see if it comes back as a different
yep ill test it ty
let me know what u found 😉
ight will do
thx
yes they will respawn. u gotta leave to main menu and jump back in tho
@regal cosmos ty!!
nice.. have a few spots where i can save me some time then
i usually go to main between every time reset anyway
yea , even some of the floating deers, i dont bother waiting, just hop to next spot.
yea, have wasted a lot of time on floaters
Can someone explain hunting pressure please...does this prevent animals spawning to the location?
i think youll just find animals barely going into the hunting pressure spots, they'll tend to steer away from it
hmmm...need to set up a tent away from the area and shoot some ducks with 22lr me thinks.....all those whitetail deaths keeping me from the Great One!!!
and any tips on clearing large herds without them running away...the 7mm ia loud and by the time I reload they have taken off
do u have the m1? its no doubt the best rifle for grinding
no but I will have a look at this one...if I have any money left after buying tents
M1 is in smoking barrels weapon pack (DLC)
if you place your shots well you can still do just as well with the 7mm the m1 is just simplier to do it with
hunting pressure try and clear it from your zones if you want all the respawn to come back
shoot small game or herd animals
or have your zones set up so you can shoot along the way and back fill it
I need to train myself not to pick up my whitetail
?
congrats !
Congrats tef
huge
been smashing layton myself how many whitetail where you in ?
started playing recently, still working on getting my first diamond
After the reset about 2000
on layton ?
i managed about 500 probably in nearly a week on there
could do that 2 days on rancho
😁
Its been gruelling i wont lie, the mrs has threatened to leave and allsorts
Aye nice one!
Im having a break now... 😁
congrats 🙂
Who is the mad lad that wants to get all GO racks
I’d love to have them all displayed in a row in my lodge
thing is we not sure how many different ones there are just when we think we seen em someone gets one different 😁
not sure if grim got any more recently think he was on 5
both mine been same rack would be cool to get one of the others
True, but having as many different ones as far as we know would still be pretty neat
But I’d be happy with just one lmao
If you count them all its my 5th spawn 😂😂😂 its my second mate 🙄😂😂
Lucky dog
I want the big one now.. The first two that bugged out were the big one.. Both estimates were about 630 😏
yo gz @sly chasm 🙂 weren't you on pc, didn't know you switched 🙂
but whyyyy??? I don't get it 😄
i cant wait for more great ones
I use it too. Just cuz Xbox controller is what I’m accustomed to
if you are used to xbox why do you play on pc at all? 😄
Because PC has better games
I just find it a bit more intuitive to use a controller personally
Any game that involves shooting just needs a trigger in my opinion
Because framerate and resolution 😂😂
alright, I mean I've been playing shooters for the last 20 years, sat on xbox and couldn't kill a trotting deer 😄 i feel like i play with my left foot, don't get how you shoot..there must be some kind of gimmick 🙂
At least u even have one
My grind might be over until next driver update. Can't even play for 15 mins without the game lagging and stuttering now
And I tried getting ahold of Nvidia for 3 days w their support chat and they never hooked me up with anyone.
if game was fine prior just do a clean install of the previous driver or rollback
Do a clean geforce experience install
damn I played 4 hours these last 2 days, spawned 6 level 3s :X
ight how do u install a previous driver?
cuz i cant roll mine back cuz i guess it didnt save
like reinstall the app?
you should have a roll back option if not just do a clean install of a previous driver. only install physix and the actual driver
yea i did a clean install of the newest driver didnt fix it cuz idk where to find older drivers
nvidia support told me to change some things then they said reinstall the game
So I’ve caved
The 4th grind has begun
For real
Did a run just now and shot a lvl 2 diamond. Not taxing anything under 270 or that isn’t a gold rare
Scarecrow gave me the final push to do it lol
So here we go again 🤣
should give you a selection of drivers on nvidia site or at the very worst uninstall the driver and windows will install a nvidia driver for you on restart
alright so its the website itself not the geforce experience
im towards 35-40 rancho diamonds without one now 🙄
I seriously don’t get why you don’t have one yet. It’s insane
bad luck
you'll get 2 in the same herd! 😄
just keep at it.
I'll crack 5k today if i marathon it
yeah you download and save driver and then select clean driver instalation tick the physix and driver boxes
if you uninstall from windows and just reboot it will auto download driver needed if on win 10
alright, thanks
Trying a clean installation of the last driver now
Best of luck
Good luck 👍🏼
Didn't work but I think it's actually the same driver that was lagging right before I updated
So gonna go back one more driver
37th Lvl 3, 4,300 kills in. 4th max weight.
None of it worked soo idk what to do
is it lagging all the time, or do u just get framedrops when there is a lot of animals nearby?
Ngl if they ever decide to include red deer as an animal that can rank as "Great One," they should make the antlers look similar to these
I recognize some of those racks from 7-8 ones
Big red deer
On second thought, the 2nd image does look like something you'd see on an 8
I remember someone made an edit as a joke about GO red deer, lemme see if I can find it again
Happens on all games now
It's not the game
Or my graphics
Literally only thing that can be wrong is my GPU being fried at this point
Tested everything
i see.. should be able to rund some kind of benchmark probably, to find out
Benchmark?
I had a feeling this would happen as soon as I get close to getting the great one
Even tho I should have 3 or 4 of them statistically
My GPU is throttling to 100% without even heating up
Even on lowest graphics now
yea, there should be a program u can test ur gpu with.. but it doesnt sound good no.. just google for it.. i never used it my self, since i havent had the problem. hope it works out
im doing a wipe if it doesnt fix it then taking it to technitian
ok.. good luck 🙂
I'ma say my great one grind is prob out the window
If they say they can't replace my GPU or something and I have to get a new laptop it's over
oh, ur on a laptop? well.. hope it works out for u
ahh.. too bad they were that small ^^
this bugs me more then anything- 1) red deer are the only animals in which diamond racks are a repersentation of crazy high fence steriod farm deer 2) TK used the exact picture of the NZ stag in the first picture when people said the red deer tru racks were too big- also that "700 SCI" bull crap isnt valid, the actual world record stag i think is around 400
"Hey all, I am not going to put a ping out for this. But I have seen some people questioning the big racks for the Red deer. Remember we have tried to take a selection of racks that are found all over the world. Europe, Argentina, Scotland/UK and New Zealand, where the world records are shot. This year they are predicting a 800sci Red gets shot... something a little like this one, remember the monster racks are actually real!" - TK
the mosnter racks where in fact not real
Just make great one muley
Think I fixed my PC now finally
hey! im considering starting my GO grind tomorrow any tips for starting?
There was a virus or something somewhere bitdefender couldn't find or something weird with windows
What map?
layton! im on xbox so thats all i got for whitetail atm
Honestly in my opinion I'd wait. Because they are broken and have a good chance of spawning with the wrong level and rack
Not worth the sanity just to get a bugged one like I did lol
Ohh sorry to hear! thanks for the info ill definitely wait now
Yeah if u do decide for sure u want to tho check out grims methods from ladylegend YouTube channel
Cuz the way he does it helps lower the chances of it bugging
ohhh okay i might consider that then thank you for all the assistance blitz!
No problem lol
nice.. back on the grind then 😉
I wish they would separate wild european reds from NZ stags. Two very different antlers there. I liked the og antlers maybe more than truracks because they were based more on the natural ones.
Oh wow
Yeah it was bad whatever screwed my GPU over but I think it's fine now
Check #🦌︴find-a-game
1st run, diamond lvl 3 and lvl 2 side by side in a zone
Too small to taxi but not a bad start
And an albino 85-100. Would’ve been a gold but got some kinda weird shot but eh Idc too much his rack was ugly
I mean yeah I just don’t wanna lol
I'ma have a full lodge of diamonds before my first one even shows

By quoting it you have shared it too 😂😂
👀
Everyone and their mother has seen that video btw
I wanna kill a 275.5 so bad
I can’t allow that little man
same
im at 29 rancho diamonds, 20 rancho rares (that i actually taxed there was 5-6 does or teeny bucks i didnt tax)
Nice
I tried grinding some last night but I'm so burned out that ima just wait till rancho comes out
I would too
Scree layton lol I'd rather hunt lynx than hunt wt on there
Got 6 layton rares that I taxed, 13 diamonds
I used to not tax fence rack raress but now I do for rare count
10 diamonds and I think 4 or 5 rares before I switched to PC
So 52 diamonds, and like 30 rares
no great one
U should be getting one soon hopefully
yeah good luck hope you get one soon
jumped back to rancho got this dood first diamond after grinding layton for a week
quite a few 85 - 100kgs as well
i hop between the two maps ... layton seems like such a chore, lol
so many zones that need to call the deer out .....
yeah i called something out on there earlier was nice 😁
What's good everybody
but it can be tricky as sometimes groups look like they not there
then you call them and its like...oh...they are there
yea, alot of them zones are like that ....
yeah for new players they will be like i have no whitetail
its cause they all wearing camo hiding in trees 😁
yeah i do love layton
so jump between the both
gotta start the diamond fox and lynx grind soon
give whitetail a break
I'm determined to get the huddle, then i'll give wt a long break 😆
yeah that was my aim
still not sure whether to do huddle or keep seperate
but diamond mela albino and piebald then go huddle would be cool in my saseka lodge
Congrats on the great one Ron you deserve it
lol, that would be nuts ...
well i got most of it already was so close on a albino diamond and a mela one
fingers crossed i can get em 😁
🤞🏾 two of those huddles would look mad. I have an all gold rare WT huddle in my 2nd lodge, i think that will do me. haha
nice.
cause of the bug i have a good trio of whitetail but its not on show
could split that put the 3 mela in and the albino and the diamond piebald then maybe make a huddle of great ones
or just wait for the diamond mela and albino....😂
or maybe you'll get mela GO as your 3rd. 😆
who knows.
🤨 have u already bagged the 3rd? haha
Oh boy - I play for about 15 to 20 minutes before I crash
thats layton for ya
frrr. but the thing is it shouldnt be that hard ya know i mean if they are really "drinking" they should be drinking at the water not inside a tree or bush 50 yards from the water
They drink grass, obviously
yeah fr
new video is out 😁 
bruh
Nice one, Ron
Just found the 2nd lvl 3 today
@pliant oak nice job!!!! Can't wait to see the huddle
^
Nice one Ron 👍
Considering what to take my 4th with If I get one- I’m thinking .243 with starter bullets and scope at close range
As a tribute to the beginnings
was tempted to shoot the last one with a 243 or a bow
but you know if you screw it up you would be gutted 😁
Yeah
I mean I took my last with irons and I feel like that was more risky somehow
Just took some practice shots and that’s definitely what I’m going for
I’m really excited for it
Congrats, nice wonky rack too
Ah yea, that's what I did with my first GO. Took it with the 243, OG rifle ... As a tribute to my noob beginnings 😂 😂
Awesome! Yeah I’m definitely going for it
My 2nd was with the bow, if I get a 3rd, it's gonna be with a handgun I think
That’s awesome
357 focoso I think , Another OG 🙂
Gotta find one first, we'll cross that bridge when we're there
Just had a massive diamond boi run past me
For a second I thought he might’ve been even bigger but he’s still huge
Ok so weirdest thing
He weighed over 98kg
Had the biggest diamond rack
Only scored 258
I’m so surprised that he scored so low
yeah i had one like that other day only just made diamond yet score estimate was really big
how odd... typically, the largest rack at least high 260s
I know right that’s what I said!
It really took me by surprise
Got some screenshots to post of him soon
Usually my 270's estimates are up to 300 or 290
Could be due to tip-to-tip spread, it seems to make quite a difference. Prolly looks really odd if that’s the case
ahh....this is not the max rack
but a very nice one, probably my favourite diamond rack
We’re are good whitetail locations
@acoustic cedar the max rack has longer & straighter G2s
huge albino. nice!
Yeah Ik normally it does but I’ve shot so many diamond whitetail and this one is completely different to any rack with the same score I’ve got
Like he has the same frame pretty much and mass as my 269-271 ones
He’s an odd ball
Interesting!
Normally my 257 ones are much thinner and much less heavy like 95-96 ish kg
Just thought he was interesting
i know... these mofos right.
I’m still yet to see a buck bigger than 271 🥲 would love to get a reallllyy big typical boi
Thems the ones
haha, sick of them
Same lol
I’m already at 5 diamond, 2 troll (and 1 messed up one lmao) after 2 days
Before the update that made WT diamond at 255, huge diamond WTs went up to 280s
After the update , I believe it's capped at about 275
noice
ty
I'll say Im due tor the GO lol,, thats 4 diamonds in 2 hours ,,insanee
That’s always a good sign
Yep
So here’s my sum up, that’s the 2nd biggest rack, usually scores between 264 and 270. Looks a bit softer and more bendy than the biggest rack. It prolly scored so low because the tines are short and the rack is not very wide
Looks awesome tho
Yeah pretty much
Never had that style score so low so definitely an interesting boi lol
I had a very high scoring version with that rack, but it had one side with that style and one with the biggest style lol
Ohhh bet he looks odd lol
Another big lvl 3 just showed up
That’s the 4th big boi today
Not as big but decent
Just yeeted a couple bullets his way
264 boi not bad
You’re smashing the diamonds today lol
I'm pretty sure my map will reuse to spawn a great one at this point
seems like the people who are getting them their map can spawn 2-3 diamond wt on their map at the same time but all my diamonds cached into other species i just cant find
as soon as the other maps are fixed im quitting this grind. the game obviously screwed me over
honestly I've found I get better stuff when I just run around rather than grinding species
its different when grinding for a great one
i do think you have to look at the whole picture
some people get them easy some shoot thousands
i got a bugged one and for me, when stuff like that happens the real thing will never happen
and im over 7 thousand kills without one
i had two bugged ones
but u got 3 great ones i dont wanna hear it
i know what you saying but i had two bugged ones and just kept at it
stick at it you will get one
but not with that many kills. u got your first one at 3-4k kills
i mean its alot
but not 7 thousand
i do understand what you saying
im not keeping at it. its not enjoyable anymore
maybe just have a break
i have 52 diamonds without one. its just not fun
then go back refreshed
i had a break and it didnt do anything it just killed the entire grind
its what i get for getting screwed out of the game
its uncertain from when you start
i have very bad luck with things that i actually grind
but..its just a case of if you in for the grind you just have to accept it could be 10000 for eg before you get one it could be one kill
while 99% of the community is killing one in 400 kills or so
no
yeah now they are
most here who have them have thousands of kills
lc is the only guy i even seen recently that had more than 800
besides you and killercaven
not counting lady and kc but im talking about the people that do have one
there is quite a few with thousands of kills
literally every 2 posts i see "lOok what i got in 200 kills"
on rancho im like 1000 in right now
it was bad for a week so jumped to layton
200 more killed today on rancho
i cant hunt layton i honestly just cant stand that map
im not spending 40 real life hours just to find 30 zones
Im 1700kills in 28 diamonds,, too early to start worrying I guess lol
the thing is people do spend that amount of time and often its those who do well
fair enough i was just suggesting have a break
thats the thing the next few you may have one and thats what gets us all
They also said not everyone it’s gonna get the great one,, that’s kinda uffi
well im finna replace my 131 level 3 with a real one and say screw the grind i killed 7k of them w 52 diamonds and got a bugged one i want to fix the one that got bugged and not hunt whitetail deer ever again
like i do not even want to look at one
but im not sure if i really wanna do that
i will get alot of flak even tho i deserve it
yeah they should really fix the bugged ones
they did but they ignored us for too long about it
as in update them in the lodges
Well how long ago ?
