You dont delete a zone with hunting pressure it just becomes invisible to you and will appear again in the same place once the pressure decreases and you spot animals there again, you can only completely remove it by killing evey animal that is tied to it. Even then it will come back nearby but might require others that are close by to be deleted first.
That’s not how I’ve experienced it
If I kill 4 or more animals the zone deletes
Then re appears close by (normally)
It’s not always in the same place
So what happens to animals that are still tied? ...
They move
Idk how to describe it but they move to a slightly different location- I’ve had it loads of times
if you kill all or all but one of the animals in the herd, the game generates an entire new herd (in the case of one left, that becomes an individual)
i just got knocked out by a melanistic mule deer thats a first 😂
This is true, they will move into the new zone or another zone nearby
Thank you
I had a zone that had a single female, deleted that zone and another zone happened to get another female when it would usually just have two
I end up sitting here like…idek anymore maybe I’m losing my mind😂
We could be completely wrong which is the sad part but from what I experience that is what happens
I feel like I know so much but have so much left to learn
Yeah I’ve seen it happen a ton in terms of zones moving on one particular lake but yeah sometimes I just end up feeling like I’m going crazy lol
another LVL 3
ye
i just render bugged
and went into storage
so i had to alt f4
opposite end
Just found another lvl 3 boi
nice
same
It’s a big mood lol
nother lvl 3
yay
looks like a troll
air rifled him
good spawns today
ty
todays trophies produce this masterpiece
He feet hang
@round kiln nice GO 😂💀
So I'm planning to track all my diamonds and rares on a map and made this quickly. Figured someone here may find this useful for their own grind before I fill it 
I see my first piebald
Buck
On another zone, will get him in a minute
It's in trophy shots
nice
** B E L L Y R U B**
he died underwater
and that launched him
so
i found some bighorn
that stayed there
after 5 game exits
how
looks soft
fell asleep on the couch.. haha, havent been too much sleep last 2 weeks.. after i got my GO last night, i havent hunted.. time to start looking for his brothers 😉
so i deleted that australia doe zone
it hasn't come back
after 30+ runs
no transfers either
sometimes it takes a bit time before i find new zone after i delete one.. often i find it on a different lake
also, when i delete a zone, i notice i get more animals in many of the other zones.. bigger herds
none of that happening
happens to me all the time.. the herds also can move a little within their zone.. i have had to move my tripods many time cuss of that
that bottom lake down left i got like 30 whitetail there now 😁
how
but if you shoot they go over the back and you can just shoot away
i have a lot there too.. i had 3 zones there, but the one by the little pond i dont like to hunt, so i delete it
stand on mountain and smash
will try
tent at the top of the mountain?
i havent got tent just use the outpost there
i got a zone there that no deer come to
spawn go on left and go high up
because of the outpost
look down on lakes maybe even fire shot see if they go
Bottom left, is it the tiny one?
i like to do it like this.. spawn lodge.. then the closest zone wont spawn cuss too close to lodge.. then i shoot the other zone from tripod.. then i fast travel to the tent by the zone i just shot, then the other zone spawns.. then i shoot them
old screenshot, so i didnt have my current setup when taken
a tip i wud like to share if ur on pc.. i sometimes fat fingered F when pressing G to auto run, and then i changed my zeroing on the scope without knowing.. i moved auto run to F, and put zeroing to C.. it's a lot better than having to press G to auto run also..
@round kiln can i see your great one
i meant an actual pic LOL
thick boi
were u happy with all the angles of the rack on the video?
@outer badger very
nice 🙂
i have some colourful smol great ones
nice 🙂 i still havent got a mela.. hopefully i will find one
#make @hidden pagoda riphishairout
You lucky son of a bitch
called it
indeed
Same
if we keep grinding for the GO, we'll find one im sure 🙂
Watch my mela be a diamond or the GO
diamond or GO mela is the dream
I have a beeno diamond
that too ofc.. i only have silver 😦
have 1 or two.. not sure, but nothing better than silver so far.. got 2 piebald silvers, and 2 does
3383 whitetail
im prob at 2600-2700ish
think im at 25 or so diamonds
Okay technically 21 diamonds and 3 albinos
ive destroyed at least 2 diamonds takin stupid shots ^^
ahem
wow.. want one of those for sure
wud be great in a mount with the GO 🙂
did u see the vid from my go btw? i can dm u link if u havent
was lucky to get the rack i wanted
yea, i can see that one.. i wud have been happy as long as it was a go.. but i havea favorite
Honestly almost being 3400 deer in and not having a GO I just want one at this point
hes prob right around the corner 🙂
"hey, thats a big gold albino"
(picks it up)
"OHMYGOD"
Yes
GL on the hunt.. let me know if u want that link
right at the top of his estimate from what you said, right?
Yep
beauty
does anyone have a pic of all the known great one racks
nvm i got them all
nice.. u mind sharing em?
wud be interesting to see
daym.. just had 2 lvl3 trolls.. nothing good so far
Found it a few weeks ago on reddit...i had the same question^^
nice one.. mine is either the top left, or the one next to him.. have to study it more to be sure
yea.. top middle is the one i have
@outer badger yours is the top center
middle and center is the same, isnt it?
english is not my main language, so sayin top middle might be wrong..
No you are correct!
First run of the day, decent albino and a diamond lvl 2. Not a bad start
hoping i have a good run today wasnt bad yesterday nothing special
video first then back to grind 😁
Just smoked a big 269 while he was stuck in a bush
Getting some good respawns it seems
aaand that was 2 hours on the pillow.. my sleep is completely broken lol..
daym.. last session i got nothing bot 2 lvl3 trolls..
Trolls suck but in my eyes I see them as progress
true. i had enough diamonds in a way.. what i really want is a decent mela and albino 🙂
have zero melas.. and a silver albino
literally just said that in a video 😁
Lol
its just part of the grind no need to get dissapointed
I gotta put a load of clips together of some of my recent bucks for later
Yeah exactly
I like keeping a record of what’s coming and going, idc if they’re diamond or not lol
same.. im so glad i recorded when i got the GO... i can relive that moment when i want lol.. might be the only time i got one.. never know 🙂
when takin that shot, i was actually scared haha
yeah imagine hitting spine or something
tempted to bow next one
some people say shoot it with 22lr 😂
yea, i could easily been messing that up by hitting the spine.. i was shaky.. normally, a easy shot, but when its about that one, u get nervous
there's the 223 and air rifle
oh, the 223 is strong enough?
I wanna get my 3rd with the 357 pistol 😄
im thinking pistol as well
some nice looking pistols
if i can get close enough
u can shoot class 4 with it
but its weeeak
ok.. i havent used it in a long time.. thougt it was class 3
thats the so called "wonky" one, right?
yea, i've seen it.. also saw KC's vid.. i also thought that one was missing from that pic
wut?
why do you have no image perms
Do people have a double GO huddle by now?
from what i know
no
grim dv has 5
would have like 7 but a few bugged out
This is everything that I could find.
Wish I had a better angle of the eighth
The last one is the same as the second but for some reason its a bit wonked so I added it anyways
I want 7th or 4th
hoping for #3 next
A mod should totally pin these pics
think #1 is the one i got
Also, seems the first three are the most common
And I've only seen one of the 7th
and 9th
For some reason, the 6th is the most common of the combination racks
all 3 the same?
yes, i like mine the best of all ive seen.. so i was lucky.. the one that looks bigger, is too wide imo
ur the expert 😉
lol I just spent like an hour scouring through this chat looking for pics
I am by all means no expert
3rd one is massive
on that pic.. the one top left is also nice, but the onei have is better lookin.. the first is a bit too wide
3 big racks
Yeah just different scoring big bois
yes
Can someone combine the pics that I got
that first one is ssuuuppeerrr wide for that rack
I’ll resume for my second grind later today
GL 🙂
You too brother
I can edit it to make them not cover their antlers at the top
nice
@plain raptor That was fast, thank you : )
i know its a tall order, but imagine having a huddle of albino, mela, and piebald GO's
I saw a hacked one from a year ago way up in this chat
damn cheaters
Yup
having a legit one must be the most insane u can get in this game
LC’s is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen
LC?
yea, thats a nice one
The only legit rare GO that I know of
kinda like 3 and 4 on grims pics hopefully thats the next one for me
nope
yeah two of them
ok.. best one imo
then the wonky left one
ok
its a GO, but not the one i wish for next 🙂 but i'll take it if i get it 😉
was dead yesterday last few runs and two of the runs earlier
knew something was due when its like that
literally no males were spawning or all small
yea.. i had it like that for 15-16 hours straight before the GO spawned
i got one tiny diamond in that grind before it
im starting to wonder if certain racks spawn certain things
maybe too deep might be worth looking at
we can only speculate 🙂
might do some runs only shooting certain rack style
thats mine 636.4
big un
yeah big rack he was 109.93 kg
thats a nice boy 🙂 scored a bit better than mine.. mine was 634.60
think weight does maybe have something to do with the rack
at that point theyre all big lol
sure is 🙂
tbh, i think its completely random..
that all u can do is kill, and get lucky
@plain raptor did u ever get to editing the collage
you cant even compare a 400s to a 635+ different racks score differently so is just preference
a great one is a great one lol
yep
it is
they are all welcome to my lodge 😉
They software covers some of the antlers no matter the position for some reason
aw alright, thank you though
I just killed off a few rubbish zones so fingers crossed that something good comes along from that. So many dead deer lol
same 🙂 and i found new ones after.. still havent found anything good.. many max weight estimate bucks, but havent gotten any good respawns yet
Yeah I’ve killed an absolute ton of big deer today
So many 85-100 Bois
Lots of 91-94kg lvl 2s as well which is great to see
had 4-5 lvl2 diamond potentials, but non have made it
damn "frozen" animals.. wonder how often i miss out in the zones with lots of brush.. i spot them, and it says "traveling" but they just stand there.. ofc they wont come when using caller
probably a bunch that i never see.. many zones i shoot from distance.. just use caller to pull em out
they needa fix that
Sooo I uh
Just had a troll 3 respawn as a 3 like the same zone
Lmao
Takes the total up to 17 diamonds on grind no 4
Oh damn

are they still bugged on layton?
Thats ps4
That would have been your first one, right?
Ye
that really sux man
Man, that sucks 😦
50 kills tho
Did you kill it yet
Oh dang
And experimented on it, I left it there and closed the application
so, is the bugged ones only on ps, or does it still happen on pc?
Xbox and Ps
Only on console I believe
Only on console sense the devs are taking there sweet time
ok.. cuss im semi grinding on layton as well.. dont want to waste my time there if there is a chance they're bugged
PC is fine
Check all zones before getting off and you'll be fine
ok
nothing to do with the devs
its the certification
microsoft and sony
Partially
Depends on if they put it into the certification process yet
speaking of the devs.. they have a lot to fix now.. holy "#¤#¤.. the outposts being broken in many reserves, frozen animals....aaaand for the love of god.. i hope they fix the bush sound .. its driving me nuts
#EWFixYourFuckingGame
its not that bad
Not much any of us can do if they're on summer break. Apparently breaks this time of year are A Major Thing in Sweden
yeah summer time sweden takes break
its pretty bad
no
Shit timing is all
Probably a national holiday for them
Its definitely bad but theres nothing we can do
just the outposts being broke it self is pretty bad
Not on all the maps
Rancho, for example, it's just the one outpost that you can't FT to
yea, but ive been to several reserves and they're broken
if it was constantly crashing id say bad but you can literally play all day with a few small issues
PC isnt insanely bad but console is another story....
Well both PC and console got short straws this time around
I just want geese 😔
console is mainly slowed up because of varification
personally, the bush sound buggs me the most.. its really driving me nuts
builds can go straight out for pc but cant on console
shame they cant go out the same for both
I dont have a huge problem with them having different releases I just wish the devs would keep us updated instead of leaving us in the dark
anyone else here have the bush sound bug? its listed as "rare" in the known bugs.. its not rare for me.. i have it almost all the time
It's definitely more frequent on some maps than others
i get it on all maps. if i open the map.. somtimes spam M, it goes away.. but only until next time i walk through a bush..
Frustration was already forming way before they took vacation so them making that announcement which could have been one that informed the community of the status of the release was probably icing on the cake
I don’t blame them for taking a vacation but I understand the frustration of seeing people have the new map and still not being able to enjoy it too
agree
It’s likely a country thing from what I’ve heard. Not that it makes things less frustrating of course
I am getting tired of whitetail grinding. Off to med-ved I go
Lyyyyyyyyyyyyynx
Yesh
and u can try to find this 😉 had to brag about my max score musk 😉
Dats not good
thats a thing also? wow
Are your outposts still in one piece?
Yes
Alright, so, that’s something at least
so, u lose all the tents and tripods, or do they go back to ur stash?
They go bye bye
That’s a fat 
omg.. that can be a lot of cash
I had an internet issue and it said I do not own these dlcs and it took me back to Layton
Do you have a backup saved anywhere?
I went back on Rancho and it wiped all of my tripods and tents, guess it did it here too
No, not for here
I checked Hirsch and it was fine so I assumed it was just Rancho but I guess not
I back up my save files regularly in case stuff like this happens. I strongly recommend you do the same
It’s alright though, it wasn’t many. Maybe like 4-5 for the lynx
Now that I am getting better at the game I can make it back easily
if that happens to me on rancho, im gonna uninstall.. lol.. im maxed out on tents and tripods
Now we’re getting off topic so #🦌︴general lol
lol 🙂
Well no GO today, but many deer down. Well over 400 today. Maybe I’ll get lucky tomorrow
400 is a pretty good amount, i have to say 😉
damn
i just started again.. took a break, and a nap earlier 🙂
first thing i did now was deleting 2 zones.. some zones in el potrero i dislike a lot.. when i find them again, i insta delete.. lol
i blast does
i also see that after deleting zones, i get a lot more animals in many of the other zones.. and that i can like 🙂
oof
said this in flint’s discord and imma say it again, we need a trophy lodge that’s just a big cabela’s or bass pro shops
i’d pay $20 for a dlc like that
u mean a bigger trophy lodge?
yea, i wud like that too.. more floor space for mounts
just dont like the aesthetic of elk and moose in a safari themed lodge
Sprink Creek but better, yes please
Antlered species look better in that lodge I agree
yea.. but its something depressing about spring creek.. dont know what it is.. maybe it needs more light or something
Doesn’t even need to be like Spring Creek
I just want something western
for western animals
finally i got something.. gold pie.. only had silver before this 🙂
What’s the new whitetail drink time on layton
12:00-16:00
and 12:30-16:30
forgot that... had to check my screenshots lol
u found all ur zones?
havent found any on layton haha
hold on
tyty
do u grind layton or rancho
took me over 20 hours to find em.. so can save u some time 😉
i grind mostly rancho, but i sometimes take a few rounds on layton too
i have set up a route there, with tents and tripods
i hunt 15 zones there
i picked the ones i found to be the best ones
we need make some kind of great one club
lol 🙂
be cool if there was a role you got for a channel here
its in this chat room already 😛
im sure some people would cheat to get in
probably
did u get a GO, Grimm?
im senile 😉
oh.. u changed name
awright.. u got the wonky boy 🙂
gottcha
i was going to mess with u, and say "but u need to have a GO to be member of the club" 😛
nice try bucko
lol
interesting, zones on mine are so different
thats the beauty of Layton 🤦🏾♂️ 😅
oh, i expected at least many of em to be the same
maybe only half of them
how many great ones u got grim
ok.. well, at least when he walks the map, he can check if he got the ones i found
oh
the other one has like 5
u arent the real
i have two m's
oh lol
the other is @rugged halo
wannabe 😛
i didnt know grim had one
well.. that other grim, he's had some serious luck..
ok, not only luck ofc.. but even if u kill a ton, u need luck to get 5
you know you kill a lot of deer well when you have a method named after you-
he had a few bugged ones
so he'd have 7
it's about 3,000 whitetails per great one
i'd say that's typical
average
just lots of dedication
prob is yea.. i was about 2500 when i got mine
some get a GO like 100 wt in like that’s insane luck
I got mine 700-800 in
pretty good
yea.. hoping for that .. lol.. then i might get it tomorrow 😛
I'm on 6044 as of today, lol
i had about 25 diamonds at 2500kills
the 1% thing is pretty consistent with diamonds
6 rares, counting 2 pie does
seems like it yes
like 1 every 100kill
i had days i got 3 and 4
then some slow days, like today.. 4 lvl3 trolls
gonna marathon it today ...
pls spawn one today 🙏🏾 wanna take a break from this grind...haha
🤯
bro
steam says past 2 weeks i had 240 hours
i did a early retirement
Nice pie @outer badger
niceee
Happy early birthday
lol.. thx 🙂
i dont have time for work.. gotta grind u know 😉
just joking .. u better work guys
work, what’s that?
something i used to do, until i didnt have to anymore 😉
if u work hard, u might
guess we're getting off topic again lol.. back to the grind 😉
yeap, back to marathon murdering of WTs
damn imagine the amount of venison our characters would have though-
infinite
and the gutting job too
need to hire 50 ppl for it lol
lmao
haha, a nice welcome to the start of the grind
what did he score?
271.4 - max weight unit
nice one! 🙂
Wait thats max wt. I thought it was 275
max weight.. not score
No it's not...
its not? for current WTs, i thought that was the max
No I beat that recently... with TruRACS there might not be a top
There is a max weight...
I'd imagine if I barely went over it to 275.53... then there likely is something where the score can go a bit higher
A couple days later I likely shot that same deer as a respawn at max weight and it was only a 262... so TruRACS may be giving some wiggle room to max scores
Yeah see TruRACS is the one holding the dice... max weight is only part of the score
You can also check the full score on the truscore screen on harvest
Yup which is why the mods know a faked one from the real ones... because they've got a database of the faked/traded ones
Assuming a truracs animal, ofc
However I was jazzed that I got that one... I think that was only my third max weight animal (not counting small game/birds)
Max weight depending on species is REALLY rare in some of them
Unless you're @rigid forge who will commit genocide that makes tyrants take notes to find them...
My 275.5 is a 275.53 as well
Welcome to the club then...
Guess that’s all we know for now
If its hitting that decimal point every time then something’s up
Help....I am on xbox console and literally no WT respawning...literally aet time to 12 and walked the length of the river and no WT anywhere...not even foot prints...just moose/bear/coyote...hunting pressure is fairly low...anyway to reset? I have exited/restarted/changed maps???? I have killed every WT on the map 😫
275.5 is max for current trophy system
For a level 3 😉 ... until the 10 spawns 
Well yeah. Lol
Try turning off your hunt club beta if you haven’t done so already
ok thanks...will try that now
Good morning! No GO taken while i took a nap? 🙂
I find it cute how people post their diamond canada geese in the trophy gallery chat
geese not good enough for ya? 🙂
Too common honestly
maybe not for them 🙂
i wud have posted it.. i havent hunted geese in years, so if i got a diamond, id be happy
dont think i even have a diamond
back then, it was something calle "consecutive harvest".. if that wasnt 100% u would not be able to get a diamond..
that messed up alot of diamonds for me , cuss i was not aware of how it worked
lol 🙂 nothing wrong with that.. as long as ur happy getting it, its all good 🙂
I've had a bit of poopoo luck with my hunting lately i cant seem to find good spots these days
are u hunting drink zones?
if not, that might help
just look around lakes when the animal ur tryin to get have drink time
thats what we in this chat are doing, trying to get the "great one" .. we hunt drink zones.. and when the drink time is over, we reset time
i try i think im just blind as a bat 🥴
if u google, there is maps posted with hotspots for animals
tis the same for everyone?
hotspots usuallly are..
it can show u what lakes are good for certain animals
also many utube videos on stuff like that
🥴 🤔 ill look into them tomorrow
Gl 🙂
Nice 🙂
and @sly chasm could I get another angle of your second GO? The half and half.
also nice that i finally found a lvl3 not being a troll 🙂
as i can see from my "files" this is actually the first diamond since i got the GO
Wow!
Thanks for sending that compilation, I've never seen this variant before!
Does anyone have a side view of this one?
thats a nice rack.. hope i get this one at some point
there is a diamond similar to that wonder if it comes off getting one of those
i have a feeling its random.. but never know 🙂
update....spent a good few hours creating hunting pressure elsewhere on the map...still cant quite get rid of all HP on the main lakes....tried rrstarting...swapping maps...still no respawns and white tail numbers virtually non existent.....😩
also disabled hunting club beta
u have found ur zones?
Yeah...been grinding a long time so all zones habe been added.....maybe because I wiped all WT the zones have moved?
*have
u on layton?
yep
i had no issues there .. i made a route i follow.. 15 zones i hunt. i made a screenshot marked the zones with numbers so i can keep track on whats going on
can u share...not sure I have 15....are you tslking drinking/resting/feeding combined? I tend to visit drinking zones only
maybe I have 15 if I include all trypes of zone
lookin like this.. (Norwegian writing) some zones turned bad, so i swapped for others..
tbh mine are similar
they might move around a little within the zone.. not always drinking at the exact same spot.. but i always have em in calling range
aothough I tend to start at ronochee bridge and move north on main river
if u can afford tripods, it makes the hunting pressure easier to handle
i have a couple set up
but the animals shud be there if u have zone, and u havent deleted it by over shooting it
i only kill 2 pr zone on layton..
if u see there is ony 3 animals.. then kill only 1
well it has been overshot completely....but this shouldnt mean no more spawn
only because nothing else to kill...
if u shoot a herd down to 1 animal, nothing will respawn
there can be several herds within the same zone
so logically when I have killed all WT that would mean no more available so end of hunting WT???? it just doesnt mske sense that it would work like that
as an example.. if there is 6 animals in the zone.. there might be 2 groups.. maybe 1 group of 2 animals, and 1 group of 4
or 2 groups of 3.. u have to check the drinking tracks and see what number it says
its a bit late for me then as I already wiped out all
then u have to change the dead zones
its not that easy, that u can just kill all wt's, and new respawn..
its a learning process 🙂
on Rancho its different.. its much easier finding ur zones.. more herds with many animals
and they're not all over the map
if you on layton just shooting mallards
its probably quickest way of doing it
yea, if not using tripods
jump round all the ponds with a 22lr
if you have hunting pressure you wont get em all there
hunt club beta was confirmed not to effect spawns
i mean.. when i use tripods.. lets say i start a "zone1" .. when i get to meybe like zone4. zone 1 is already clear of HP.. do i can just so the route, no need to shoot anything else
@pliant oak saw your vid of the albino yesterday on rancho....havent seen a herd like that for weeks!!!
but he has hunting pressure so need to remove that before anything
like i posted in screenshot..
mine are maybe 1 buck and 2 does maximum....if any
maybe you have something nice then or coming
you may of not seen it or its coming soon
my HP is extremely low on the main channel...
he can remove that pressure by shooting wt's in different zones
shoot things elsewhere or as said shoot mallards
mallards are super easy to kill like 5 -10 in one go
yea, but if u dont want to "waste " time on shoting other animals
I went to mushrokm lake and that is now loaded with HP from blackbuck kills
sometimes its more effective than slowly hunting whitetail
thats true.. at least my herds on layton are usually so small that i only shoot 2 pr zone
and i use tripods.. so it makes hunting pressure a non existing problem
thing is some places may take 10 or more minutes to hunt with only say 2 - 3 whitetail
better off smashing loads of ducks and only visit that place every now and then
just to see if go is there
rancho left middle big lake like that
thats why i went all my zones, picking the ones that i found easiest to hunt, and also had most big bucks
i also set tents for all my route.. since i only hunt 15 zones, it can be done
or easier to hunt zones
my route takes about 20 - 30 minutes
then i drop to bottom slaughter loads of other animals
i think i get to about zone 10 then i reset time, and continue
I can try the ducks thing....but I already eliminated HP on main river and srill no respawn....maybe I am bugged
rather than spend loads of extra time for a few small hard to hunt zones and just visit them occasionally
I have about 20+ zones on Rancho
you need to get the hunting pressure off the zones for whitetail
Two lakes have thick brush I have to call them out from
on rancho i hunt all zones.. in no particular order.. just where there is no HP, and i havent been there same time reset
try killing mallards or something to get the hunting pressure off. then when whitetail hunting pressure gone change time shut game down . then come back in
I go in a circle so by the time I am done going back around all pressure is gone from where I started and so forth
see if whitetail are there again
im maxed out on tripods minus the one i carry on me, in case i need it
so hp is no issue
yeah but hunting pressure is probably his issue as its still there in places
so remove it to see if it is the issue
I will screenshot.... give me a min
yea, i get that.. but hes been over shooting his zones.. and killed em off
but make sure you start your game again when clear or reset time or both
prior rancho update is was actually easier on layton to be systematic
which is what console has
now with rancho is actually harder on layton
so far on layton, its been a walk in the park.. 2 zones went sour for some reason, but i swapped em for 2 others
I haven’t been on Layton since the update. I’ve heard mixed reviews, mostly negative regarding whitetail
havent shot a single doe there, or over shooting .. but 2 zones just ended with only does
but im only like 400 in on layton.. so it may change
its slower well was for me than before update
i just hunt layton to get a change from rancho, even if only for an hour.. and hope to get lucky 😉
yeah i had a week break on there
sooner or later i will end up with thousands of kills there as well, and the odds might tip my way
good luck
ty 🙂
try finding all/most of ur zones (i found 46)
it takes time.. its a part of the preparation for the grind
am I.missing any??
i cant tell from thos pics.. u need to have screnshot of all the map, and cicle the zones for WT
like this
not cirlces on that, but i marked every zone i found.. (i found one after that pic)
is it not true to say that all the GO on LL.have been on the main river?
no idea
the respawns will come at the zones u hunt
not sure how it works if there are zones y havent found.. if he can spawn there
also... i wouldnt shoot wt's while finding the zones.. if u do that, then u have to go check every single zone after, to check if he spawned there
i even wrote down how many bucks and does in every single zone lol
just to have the info when setting my route
i had one near the main middle balmont lake
left and one of the right of it
the left one came near roonache outpost
yea.. he can spawn in every zone.. depends on where u hunt, and get respawns
my keyboard is takin a piss.. not regging everytime, so i have to edit a lot lol
gonna order a new
dead run before last one again all small or most males not there then on this run loads of big 2s and this diamond
Nice!
I’m seeing lots of big 2s but nothing bigger today yet
Also realised I’ve been severely underestimating my WT count
I’m actually now closer to 11k kills
Which is mental
Started my 1st grind at 3k total harvests, I’m now at 16.6 k
So that’s 13k so minus 2k for other things that I’ve shot in between, easily 11k.
Crazy
@odd flower congrats on the big boi!!
@pliant fox thank you so much. Long grind, but now time to fill a multi mount with 2 more!
Yes it is good but if you go to all of the aboves discord he has it for every species on every map
Once rancho comes out for console I will grind so hard but I'm hoping it won't be too long though lol
I've always wondered about how maps like these are generated - is it just people's personal experiences?
mostly
No I think the need zones are the same for everyone....certainly similar to mine
the actual zones are never the same between people
really
the general locations tend to be pretty similar though
like, between two people, a whitetail herd will almost always be at a specific lake, but not in the exact same part of that lake
not sure about this
Everyone’s maps would be exactly the same and they are not
exactly
They are similar but not 100% the same
like i said, the general areas tend to be the same, but the exact locations are not
well I will take your word for it having not really done any comparisons
Hotspot maps, if you ever see one, show the general locations (usually lakes) because most of the time if someone has a drinking zone of a particular animal at that lake, so will others but not in the exact location
So if you have a whitetail drinking zone at a lake, yours might be near the east side of it while mine might be near the west
but they will almost always be at that lake
Yep
never the exact same spots at that lake, but at the same lake
Imagine if a noobie found the great one, didn’t know what it was, and just didn’t tax it
this GO grind is turning almost into a scientific project....turn up at the right time...only kill bucks but not does...move the time forward...throw in some randomisation that noone seems to really be sure about....dont wear a backpack....spawn tents 250 m away...watch the wind and bingo.
“I found this deer with gigantic antlers but I didn’t tax it. Was that a rare rack or something?”
We’d all be rolling in our graves
@orchid frigate you can ask @abstract atlas for more angles of that rack. It’s his second great one.
are you saying the GO has larger antlers than other ones????? oh shit....
hmm? Never found a zone there?
i have
Thanks for letting me know. Will jump over there again and check it out.
no prob
yeah but many are in similar places
just take from any guide what works for you.
I see a masssssive lvl 3, 262-303 estimate
HOLY
If this is another max weight I swear….
smoke him
i'd say hes around 270 from that description
Has to be
Bout to shoot him with the set up I plan on taking my next go with 👀👀👀
Which is 243, starter scope and soft points
damn
Smoked him
At insanely close
That got my blood pumpin
271.90
99.46 kg
Not a bad practice buck for the GO
19th diamond on this 4th grind lols
Yeah I took some screenshots
That was hella fun
Big boi
Gonna have a collection of these 270+ bucks lol
Nice lol
i have alot of 270's bucks
Same
Never get tired of seein them
Me neither
Getting that close was so fun
Cannot wait to do that with a GO in my sights again
I just wanna get one in my sights lol
the hunt is goin good i see 🙂 im ready for round2 .. got tired earlier for some weird reason 😛
Yeah it’s been a really slow day then two good ones back to back
always nice to get something nice after a slow period 🙂
I hope so lol and yeah 99% of them
If a doe runs a mile I’ll leave it but everything else I’ll collect
me too.. takes longer, but i like to get that cash 🙂
yea, im not running to long dist to get a single animal.. but i pick up most of my kills
Yeah exactly same
im at almost 3.6mill.. and i had to start the game fresh like 1-2 years ago.. lost at leat 3 mill in cash and gear on that one.. i reinstalled windows, and my save was not saved on steam.. trust me, i was not happy.. now i backup regularly
i didnt lose my trophys for some reason.. the lodges was still as they were
Maan im always outside when i get pinged 😅
🙂
Solution: never go outside
genius.... simply genius
👀 😆
KILL IT
AND SHOW US THE HUDDLE
Yesssssss
wow! nice 🙂 is he down?
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG MALE
how does he have 0.74 of a tine? 🤣
@regal cosmos third one?
Yes, GO #3, i can take a break now! haha
me want to see huddle
Let’s see the huddle!
almost 6400 wts
Oh heck yes!!!
What a beauty!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!
Just started today’s grind- I’d love to see that walk out
Thanks, glad its done! wanna grind for Blue Bobcat ... haha
just done putting the huddle together
that was my first one 🙂
are this 2 Great One's 😂
congrats! thats awsome! 🙂
im on Layton, having my route up on second monitor, so i dont see whats happening on disc ^^
just got a 267.50 on Layton.. happy about that ^^
the 357 took a good 10 seconds before a WT drop 😅 definitely made me nervous
ooh.. i can see that.. i wud be dying waiting for him to drop^^
im not even sure if i dare using anyting else than my trusted .303 until im +3 GO's
Yeah that’s why I’m so excited about using the .243, the waiting to see if he drops will be so awesome
when i have secured thye huddle, i'll be more brave 😛
the one i shot with the 243 got full session score for 275. But I used Poly tips, if you're using soft points....lol, idk
on broadside, not too far shot u shud be fine i guess
i actually have a feeling my next will be on Layton.. even if i play more on Rancho
Yeah I’m using the starter soft points and scope lol
I want this one so badddd it’s gorgeous
its gonna be around the next bend. 😉 lol
I hope so lol
heating up on Layton... 261 this time
08:00-11:30 - if u start at 08:45, they normally will be in their zones
congrats on the go wootz 👍
shot what might be the highest estimate i've seen on a lvl2 .. it was 253-285.. ended up scoring 254.4 lol
how many did it take from last one ?
So when it comes to the racks on GOs, is the chance of getting a specific rack completely random or are some racks more likely than others?
Thanks!! about 3100 since the last one 🙂
from posted images, it seems like the 600+ big boy rack GO is more common
I figured, I've seen that one the most
I really hope whenever I finally see one it's got those nice drop tines like yours here
what we have seen so far
and diamond #3 today down on Layton - scoring 267.70
Have had two diamond level 2s so far today. One I oofed but idc anymore 😂
I gave up.
s a m e
Was like 8k in and hadn’t seen anything.
I want anything except the top 3
I want anything even
I got the one i like the best, so im just hoping im not getting same as i have 🙂
layton been on fire so far today.. 3 lvl3 diamonds.. 4-5 diamond potential lvl2's and a lot of max weight estimates that can make good respawns
yeah i had that yesterday started off dead then was amazing
not been on yet been videoing so will jump on soon for a few hrs
Yeah this 4th grind is getting as long as my 2nd was
Had 26 diamonds on my 2nd grind
Currently at 21 with 3 messed up small ones so in terms of being diamond size that’s 24
So I’m praying that it pops up soon
Started the 4th with 13850 total harvests, now at 17100+
Not bad for 6 ish days
I’m done when this ones done
And I mean it this time: I never want to see another whitetail after this lol
this isn't looking too good
3 lakes checked, either all does or no deer
and, if i delete my zones, they don't come back, or join other herds
Nuke the map. Many respawns
Omg that's what I'll do to te awaroa
Although I probably won't get a rare
Couple benifets more lakes, and eespawns
