[abstract atlas]

Lets see if your call will work

[hidden pagoda]

Only need the 7 other variants 🥴

4 if I decide to not go for the wonky bois

[abstract atlas]

If you get different racks every time then god damn

[hidden pagoda]

I’ll be surprised

I’m probably going to have to get 15 great ones to get all of them

But hey it’s all I do in the game anymore so 🤷‍♂️

@abstract atlas you better get your GO before I get the third 👀

Unless I get it in like 200 kills or something stupid

[abstract atlas]

If i dont that will be weird honestly 😂

[abstract atlas]

True

[hidden pagoda]

That would be really weird

I mean

If we look at the trend

#1 was 567 (5174 including pre rancho)
#2 was 1610
#3 will be ?(????)

[abstract atlas]

👀

Honestly, in 9200 kills and not having a GO, like blitz said something might be blocking it

I will have to check my maps later today when i come home

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah

[fast ridge]

two more wonks 👀

[thick badger]

According to multiple admins, he number before you can get a GO can go from almost none to infinite. Luck of the draw I guess

[thick badger]

I honestly love wide racks in this game. Wish they could score higher

[fair wind]

Could also be the same for me but with wt, I just don’t feel like checking Layton when the map takes 30 years to open

[hidden pagoda]

Lol

HDD moment

[fast ridge]

I think I've exhausted by drink zones for the time being 😅

I'll switch to the feed ones tomorrow. or, well, after I check out another game's update

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah?

[hidden pagoda]

something was indeed happening

[ionic harness]

might start tomorrow and get one just to spite you

[abstract atlas]

I fear it might happen lol

[steel pier]

you spawned it in

jk

[ionic harness]

did u check ur hirsch zones yet

[abstract atlas]

I got home 30 minutes ago, now im gonna do homework from CNC programming (takes 10min) and after that i will go play and explore cuatro first and then te awaroa

[iron valve]

Here u go for cautro

[abstract atlas]

Jesus

That is a lot of lakes

[ionic harness]

cuatro is filled w them

[abstract atlas]

And i have a map for hirchxsdlednen

[ionic harness]

actually might start today

[pliant oak]

yeah working as it should. totally random

only thing id tweak is make it so they cant spawn innitially

cuatro i think is more fun to hunt for reds that TE but you seem to get more per run at TE

little tip on Cuatro on the left middle river make sure to spook em shoot at the red deer then watch as they go left and to fields.

can get loads there

open slaughter

[abstract atlas]

Ok so i got on cuatro

1st zone i come to, there is a piebald lvl 1 roe male

Wut

[ionic harness]

gg ez

[abstract atlas]

Gg Ez will be if i find a go

[ionic harness]

nah thats too mild for a GO

going all out then

[coarse oak]

What map were you grinding before ?

[abstract atlas]

Im still going to grind on te awaroa

But im checking if something isnt stopping my spawns

[coarse oak]

Oh thought you pop reset or something lol

[abstract atlas]

Nah nah

[thick badger]

Thought so thanks for the confirmation

[abstract atlas]

Another male pie roe

Now a lvl 2

Wtf

Hirchsxfledneledn here i go

[plain raptor]

You moving to Hirsch?

Or just checking your zones

[abstract atlas]

Checking

Im not THAT crazy

[abstract atlas]

okay?

yeah i think that is normal for hirschfelden

[full cave]

Seems normal too me.

On hirsch they group together a lot.

[velvet bough]

Ayee so ur becoming a CNC machinist?

[abstract atlas]

Yessir

[velvet bough]

Are you guys using Haas? Also sorry this is odd topic

[abstract atlas]

Not particulary those ones

Bit familiar ones

Well now that i looked on Google, yes we use those but a different branding

But we work on PC programs to practice, if they gave us a machine and to make something we would fail so many times

[velvet bough]

I was gonna say DM me if there's something u need help with

Anyways we gotta get back to talks about GO so we arent shmoked lol

[rigid forge]

No, you are

[abstract atlas]

no

well back to te awaroa!

[deft python]

hirsch is just on another level of crazy though

your guy is so loud there

[rigid forge]

btw this channel is for great ones and great one grinding

[rugged briar]

So, just wanted to get opinions. White tail or red deer? Which is an easier grind? Yes, I know that it’s all random, but people have to have opinions.

[tame solar]

What is a CNC?

[abstract atlas]

Computer Numeric Control

Programming machines with a program to make something

[rugged briar]

Preferred map for whitetail GO? Rancho or Layton?

[plain raptor]

Rancho

This is my preferred list: Rancho, Mississippi Acres, and Layton

[tame solar]

Yea

Rancho is way better and now that picking up animals doesn't have a cap for all the dead ones you can literally do 4 or 5 runs and then pick them up

[rugged briar]

Thanks all!

@tame solar woah….. so I can leave everything on the ground, like 15 kills and come back later to retrieve?

[abstract atlas]

Yes

Ooor

Not pickup at all

And you will still get respawns, thats how i grind but only if you have a lot of cash

[rugged briar]

Woah…. Does tent placement still make animals go invis?

[abstract atlas]

Yeah sadly

Place it 200m away

Froma zone

[rugged briar]

Hahah cool

[ionic harness]

might commit a crime

ive spent like 2+ hours unlocking outposts and stuff on TA and checking the popular spots for reds

and i have 4 drinking zones

[rugged briar]

@ionic harness my best red deer “park and hunt” spot isn’t even on a zone, and it’s during morning hours.

I can pm you if you want after I drop off daughter. I generally get at least 1 mythical per hunt

But only ever got 1 diamond there

[ionic harness]

yeah sure

just think its strange that i literally only have 4 drinking zones

I mean by now I know I have extremely bad luck when it comes to this game

[rugged briar]

Me too lol

[velvet bough]

What LC said, made to make car parts, airplane parts, etc with different materials such as mild steel, aluminum, etc. With written programs for the tool and machine to interact on its own

[ionic harness]

still only 4 zones 😢

[rugged briar]

@ionic harness sorry, just got back from step daughter drop off.

Ok, so what you will need is 1 tree stand, gun of choice for red deer, red deer caller, and the attractor scent.

Image to come shortly

Head to this spot at 4:45 am where I have the tent. I was lazy for a while so I used the outpost close by, but the tent is faster.

Put the tree stand at this double tree.

You can see on the pda roughly where it is.

[ionic harness]

mhm

ill check it out tomorrow, still need to buy treestands dlc and im done for the day now

ill lyk if i succeed lol

i only have one drinkng zone there sadly

[rugged briar]

Once in the stand just spray every half hour and blow the horn 4-5 times in a row.

Then run your binoculars around the tree line and into the trees a little all over the lake. No night vision needed

Spot is hot from about 4:45 am- 11am with some brief lulls in the action

I don’t think I have ANY drink zones there lol

They aren’t there to drink

It’s just a major thoroughfare

[ionic harness]

hmm interesting

miracle i even have one there lmao

most ppl i see have 4 in one area

[rugged briar]

Hahaha I have 3 sika drink zones and no red deer there

[ionic harness]

found loads of sika zones today

might just eradicate them and hope i get red deer zones

[rugged briar]

In that one spot I really have no desire to even move to go find red deer zones

And you get them during morning/daytime

It’s 11:37 am in game now and I am getting mating calls and warning calls as we speak

The best part is usually they walk out on to the beaches all around the lake, so you have completely unobstructed shots most of the time.

After an in game session, I have had so many body’s on the beach that the game crashes

[ionic harness]

jeeez

[rugged briar]

On a series x mind you

[ionic harness]

thats sick

def gonna try it out tmr

[rugged briar]

The only thing that sucks is when they come up behind your stand.

But that’s only maybe 1 out of every 5 herds

It’s where I was going to do my grind but I went by cuatro and randomly had a GO waiting for me lol

So I kinda left it alone, but last ingame session I went there I had over 20 red stag kills and couldn’t tell you how many sika. You just have to remember that every 8 or so to jump down and pick up the bodies and try the constructed blind across the lake. I usually head there at about 8:30-9ish when the action slows. Then it picks right back up

[ionic harness]

lucky

ill keep it in mind

i dont have cuatro so luckily no chance for an initial there

[rugged briar]

While we are typing now

[ionic harness]

oooo

[rugged briar]

111-152 sika

And I haven’t used any attractants. And it’s 12:09 in game

And another one at 62m

Good luck when you try it and let me know how it goes!

That spot is so hot that I would be willing to bet that if I just hunted there, I should have at least 1 GO in a week with doing maybe 2 sessions per day.

[ionic harness]

ill definitely let u know

[rugged briar]

I just wish I could find a spot like that for white tail lol

[ionic harness]

i dont like the look of regular WTs

so i wanna get a red GO first

cause even lvl 7s look sick

[rugged briar]

Level 7s have my favorite rack lol

[ionic harness]

same lmao

the red GO just looks cooler lets be honest

[rugged briar]

Yep, but I wish the vines didn’t have flowers. Just personal preference

[ionic harness]

i think it's cool

gives them a mystical vibe

[rugged briar]

Yep. I have seen them with vines from my ex brother in law (he lives in NZ), but never with the flowers

[ionic harness]

I think that was a bit of artistic liberty

although possible irl

[rugged briar]

Oh I know it’s possible. Just probably silly rare

The one Andy shot, the vines took root from the clumps of mud

[ionic harness]

aww thats sick

[hidden pagoda]

Rancho if you’re new to it but Layton if you’re used to it.

[fast ridge]

and Acres if you want a bit of a challenge.

...I dislike how easy it is to get shot-blocked by a tree on Acres.

[ionic harness]

shot more trees than animals

[coarse oak]

Come on he was 251-292

I knew he didn’t look extremely thick tho

[fast ridge]

This rack?

if so, I think it's the WT equivalent of the red deer's troll rack

[coarse oak]

Looks the same lol

Like I said I figured he wasn’t as big as a 270 but cmon he could have been 257 lol

[fast ridge]

I don't think that one ever makes diamond

[coarse oak]

I think I’m on a so called “heater” 6 potential diamonds last run now 10 85-100kg

And that troll

[fast ridge]

I'm 243 in and haven't even seen a 3 yet

one dinky lil' piebald and that's it

[coarse oak]

You’ve also got one from what 267 kills lol

[fast ridge]

286 for my first GO

had one (1) initial-spawn diamond for that grind

[coarse oak]

Well make that 14 85-100 lol should I restart my game for respawns or just stay in. Game this time

[fast ridge]

I cycle between my zones over the game days

[hidden pagoda]

OH MY

It’s still highlighting the truscore because I haven’t reset my game

[rigid forge]

W I D E

[hidden pagoda]

I’ve never seen anything above 211

[fast ridge]

W O N K

[rugged briar]

@fast ridge wonk racks are my absolute favorite. It’s the closest we can get to non typical other than GOs

[hidden pagoda]

your wonk but different

[hidden pagoda]

The truscore glitch couldn’t be more perfect 😂

[coarse oak]

Slight wonk to this guy

[rugged briar]

One of my lodges is all diamonds, rare furs, and really wonky racks. I figure all of those are the more unique things to the game. I just wish there were a little more variety in the wonk. It’s hard to find ones that you notice immediately when hunting or it’s mounted. Those are the ones I keep.

[full cave]

can’t tell if i should be grinding multiple maps or just one

[fast ridge]

HM

got a solid clue (i.e. heard a call) that there's a feed zone right at the edge of the map near the gourd-shaped lake in the northeastern corner of Acres

guess I'll be checking over there

okay the guy who gave away his position was actually visible from my tripod at that lake 😂

down he went

[fast ridge]

ah, and it turns out I have a third drink zone at this lake

[hidden pagoda]

🤔

[fast ridge]

Lake in question:

[hidden pagoda]

I did about 5 runs after my GO and I’m still getting all the wonky deer. Expecting them to chill out here soon.

[fast ridge]

I honestly thought wonky WT didn't exist for the longest time

[spare ocean]

Neither did I lol

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah?

I’ve seen some pretty wild stuff

[fast ridge]

most of mine have been minimally-wonky at best

[hidden pagoda]

That’s progress though

I know GO’s don’t technically have a sign but I do believe the wonk is a good way to tell

Because both of mine came with a crap ton of wonky deer

really wonky deer

[fast ridge]

I'm 24 deer away from my first grind total

[hidden pagoda]

Oh

I’m 2353 away from my pre rancho numbers

[fast ridge]

I'm really not expecting it to show up again that fast, but if it does...

well, I'll probably put renewed effort into the red deer grind

[hidden pagoda]

Makes sense

What was the number for your first grind?

[fast ridge]

286

[hidden pagoda]

Damn you got lucky I see

[fast ridge]

Yep, biggest double-take moment of my life so far

[hidden pagoda]

I mean I wasn’t too far off

567 for my first if you exclude pre rancho

[fast ridge]

I'd downed a L1, and right before I could get out of the blind to pick him up, I saw The Silhouette

[hidden pagoda]

Oh that must’ve been cool

I teleported to a tent, looked at the deer from 250m away through the trees, and saw the spotting outline

[fast ridge]

I still can't believe it ended up being the one I wanted to get either

[hidden pagoda]

Which rack was it?

[hidden pagoda]

Oh same rack

[fast ridge]

Basically, this is what I saw

[hidden pagoda]

Ah I see

[fast ridge]

I just saw him briefly get outlined and went "WAIT"

[hidden pagoda]

This is what I saw

[fast ridge]

Noice

...I see you put up with Layton ajfksd;lk

[hidden pagoda]

Nearly the same estimate lol

[hidden pagoda]

Oh yeah

For both

[fast ridge]

Noice

[hidden pagoda]

I’m still giddy about yesterday

[fast ridge]

Acres is nice for a grind so long as you know where to look

[hidden pagoda]

I’m sure it is

I just don’t wanna leave Layton

So used to the respawns and how the map looks

It’s also nice not having things to scare them away other than me

[fast ridge]

ajskdf;k;jl;

yeah that was the worst part about Rancho

[hidden pagoda]

My zones on rancho suck

A lot

[fast ridge]

and bobcats are less predictable than gators on where they show up

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah for sure

From the little I’ve been on the map

I agree

I have like 13 zones on rancho

2 super herds, 3 zones of 6, 2 zones of 4, the rest of 3.

[fast ridge]

I find a lot of 4 zones on Acres

the one or two super-herds I found devolved into doe-only groups

[hidden pagoda]

And they’re all in the trees and across water too

[hidden pagoda]

Oh yeah they do that

And the 4 zones is cool

[fast ridge]

sometimes there's a group of 5

or 7

[hidden pagoda]

I’m considering Mississippi based off of what other people are saying

[fast ridge]

It's a fun map

[hidden pagoda]

But I have like 34 zones on Layton

[fast ridge]

feed zones are very easy to find

[hidden pagoda]

27 are grindable

[fast ridge]

and if you found a feed zone for deer, you also found one for turkeys/bears/foxes/rabbits.

[hidden pagoda]

That’s nice to know

[hidden pagoda]

And by that I mean 4 or more deer and 2 or more are bucks, and they’re in an easy enough location

I mean this is my run and I get 2 deer from each zone ideally

[fast ridge]

Nice

[hidden pagoda]

It’s nice having all the deer that far apart

[fast ridge]

Yeah

having zones close together can be a bit annoying sometimes

especially when they're in spook-by-gunshot range of each other

[hidden pagoda]

I do have a really close grouping of zones though

On the river there and that one lake

But that’s all the ones I’ve spotted and remember off the top of my head

And knowing Layton there’s another zone under my radar

I’m pretty sure I have a zone at the hidden lake and that top left lake

[hidden pagoda]

For Layton and on Xbox in case there’s differentiations:
percentages from my experience
Diamonds would be 0.9%
Piebalds would be 0.2%
Albinos would be 0.06%
GOs would be 0.03%
Melanistics would be 0.02%
Super rares would be 0.02%

Though I have shit mela luck and that part is almost certainly wrong

@steel pier piebalds are defo not uncommon lol

[ionic harness]

@rugged briar gonna try to do it with a ground blind, wanna wait till winter sale to get treestands n tripods dlc :)

[ionic harness]

8:45 now, only seen 1 stag in the open

saw one more deep in the treeline when i was harvesting some sika deer that i shot

of which ive shot quite a few

think my red deer pop is cursed on TA

[ionic harness]

just the 1 stag

in the first run

my TA is cursed on god

[abstract atlas]

Relatable

[ionic harness]

how many drinking zones do u have LC

[abstract atlas]

on TA?

i will hop on the game

[ionic harness]

cause

I got 4 😭

and like 12 sika zones

[abstract atlas]

Uu im starting to get wonky racks

Like alot

[iron valve]

It's time

[ionic harness]

I refuse to play hirsch tho

[iron valve]

Same

Cautro is where it at

[ionic harness]

might buy cuatro

cause 4 zones aint gonna do it

[iron valve]

Cuatro is the best day time map for Red deer

[ionic harness]

might just go on a rampage against sikas to erase their zones

[abstract atlas]

Check these spots Nubz4evva

[ionic harness]

i have 😭

checked all of em

[storm cipher]

what does fabled mean?

is that the TruRak score or something?

[north nova]

Fabled is the “rank” given to animals that make level 10.

They’re the Great Ones - the only animals to make it to better than Diamond rating

So far, in game das far as we know, the only ones to make it there are Whitetail and Red Deer

[storm cipher]

do they level up the longer they are alive in game?

or do they spawn that way

[cobalt salmon]

spawn

theres no growth

[north nova]

RNJesus will take the wheel and spawn one when they see fit

A 4 is a static 4 until you kill it; then it might spawn back up or down a level or two.

But there is no evolutional growth where a 4 can become a 5 if he lives long enough

[rugged briar]

@ionic harness you could do it with tripod, but you really want the visibility of the tree stand

[ionic harness]

still strange that i only saw one

[open dust]

Does anyone know what the update was for?

[junior mulch]

fixing console crashes

[fair wind]

75gb to fix crashes nice

[open dust]

Thanks for the info

[coarse oak]

Like it was mentioned before your estuary redownloading the game

Essentially *

[fair wind]

So is it only fixing crashes?

Waiting on them to fix the 270 warden not being on console

[junior mulch]

from what i gathered yes

[open dust]

I mean the crashes are really annoying

[raw ether]

It’s still not out

[open dust]

I shot a diamond whitetail deer and before I could claim it my game crashed

[junior mulch]

😢

[fair wind]

Yeah I shot a legendary gator and crashed while he was floating in

[velvet bough]

Change time to 18:30 wait 30 in game mins, starts left side and work your way to the right because the zones on right side sometimes don't show until 19:30 or 20:00

[ionic harness]

hm ill try again tomorrow then probably

or tonight

[velvet bough]

Yeah there's lots of guides on YT about it. U gotta do it during drink zone for red deer.

If you do it between 9-12 ur only gonna find sika deer and fallow. Sometimes goats and pigs

[fair wind]

L

[ionic harness]

i was unlocking outposts and lookouts at the same time so i just checked for tracks

[open dust]

Ya it really sucks

[velvet bough]

Yeah I wouldn't worry about doing that. Just make sure u get all the outposts then do as I said. Use night vision binos and then off fog if you're on oc

PC*

[ionic harness]

will do 👍

[velvet bough]

If on console use night vision til it gets foggy and rainy around 19:30 or so then switch to regular binos and u will see better

[rugged briar]

@ionic harness what system are you on?

[ionic harness]

PC

steam

[tame solar]

It's gonna take way more than 15 kills to go back. More like 50 ish

[rugged briar]

@tame solar I’m not leaving the area though. At least on series x, when I would play back in September if I had more than 15 stags on the ground within 300yrds, it would cause the game to hard crash.

It may be patched now though

That doesn’t include the sika deer

[abstract atlas]

anotha pie

9530 in..

[ionic harness]

4 in rn 🙏

[abstract atlas]

has this rack always had these tines like this or do i just not remember

[ionic harness]

do not remember

gonna go check my zones again, just got home

[iron valve]

Yea

[abstract atlas]

damnit

[ionic harness]

lvl 7s have cool racks

[iron valve]

Indeed

[late trail]

i think youre going insane

[abstract atlas]

😦

[late trail]

i dont think i know

[abstract atlas]

bro,i was spotting deer through brush and i spotted a female,i only saw the side of the body and IT looked like the Great One body and that rush went through my stomach

then i just spotted it and it was a female fml

[slender shuttle]

I thought I saw when yesterday but it was just part of the trees

[raw ether]

You think? He’s at what 9350 kills?

[tame solar]

I swear if you beat my record for most kills without a great one imma cry

[tame solar]

He just said 9530

[raw ether]

That’s what I said

[slender shuttle]

There’s no way it hasnt spawned

[raw ether]

Definitely

[slender shuttle]

It has to have spawned

[raw ether]

Definitely not edited

[tame solar]

I was about to say

[raw ether]

don’t look

[tame solar]

That had to be edited lol

[raw ether]

You’re just crazy

[ionic harness]

welp my game just crashed

[raw ether]

Cool

[tame solar]

Proof

Lol

[raw ether]

Lies

[tame solar]

And I looked like a savage would

[raw ether]

MEANIE

So r00d

[slender shuttle]

How do u have that many kills and it hasn’t spawned

There’s no way

[raw ether]

He probably hasn’t checked a lake and there’s gonna be 3 of them

[slender shuttle]

It has to be hiding on your map

[iron valve]

Photoshop

[raw ether]

Fax

[tame solar]

Never

[iron valve]

Looks like photoshop to me

[tame solar]

Oh yeah

Well

[raw ether]

It is

[tame solar]

Um

Scroll up

Beat that

[iron valve]

My screens broke

[tame solar]

Mmmm bummer

[iron valve]

It really is

[abstract atlas]

Nascar what was your kill count for a GO?

[raw ether]

Oh I’m not saying the thing doesn’t say edited but you definitely editors your screenshots in photoshop

[tame solar]

10,966

[raw ether]

SS or it didn’t happen

[abstract atlas]

Holy

[tame solar]

Then I finally got this thick beast

[abstract atlas]

I might get to that at the weekend 😂

[iron valve]

Lol

[abstract atlas]

BIG BOI

[iron valve]

Has anyone killed a max weight GO yet

[abstract atlas]

Like i can do 1000 a day

But my brain wont be able to i think

[raw ether]

Smol

[abstract atlas]

Dont think so

[tame solar]

Really wasn't even that hard...

[iron valve]

Hear me out what if there's a GO rack that only spawns on max weights but noones gotten it yet

[raw ether]

Haks

[abstract atlas]

Dayuum the sniper

[slender shuttle]

Great one moose would be so cool

Idk how it would look tho

[abstract atlas]

Or a rack that is on a rare Go red deer

[iron valve]

6.5 makes 300 meter shots feel like 150

[iron valve]

Troo

[slender shuttle]

Since moose don’t really have much character in racks

[raw ether]

It’s not possible for them to be max weight

[tame solar]

@iron valve I aimed at the top of the spin tho 😥

[iron valve]

Oh wow

[abstract atlas]

There was a poll on yt from expansive worlds and moose had most votes

[tame solar]

I'm bored rn it says 17 minutes still

[raw ether]

Wow the spin?

[slender shuttle]

WWWWWWWWWW

[raw ether]

Lol you wanna see my speed?

[tame solar]

It depends

[abstract atlas]

Im 2,5MB/sec

[tame solar]

I'm running 15-20

[abstract atlas]

I would cry if i had to download that

[raw ether]

It won’t upload cause I’m getting on a plane but 570mb

[abstract atlas]

lol

[tame solar]

But the 69 GB was already downloaded. It's only a 6 gb update I think

[abstract atlas]

Ooh that is okayy then

[tame solar]

The 68 or 69 GB update was the reserve update I think

But idk why it's still there lol

[abstract atlas]

🤷

[tame solar]

And has anyone seen the coons In the trash yet

[raw ether]

No

[tame solar]

It would be cool to see a GO with a coon in the trash lol

Idk why

But that would be my dream

[raw ether]

A great one with a coon in the trash

Much sense

[tame solar]

For 🇺🇲🇺🇸

[raw ether]

Murica

[tame solar]

Apparently those two flags are different?

Lol they they different emojis

[raw ether]

Impossible

[tame solar]

Two American flags????

See!

There's two!

[raw ether]

One of them is labeled flag_um

The other is flag_us

Maybe united merica?

[tame solar]

The untied states of murica most likely 😂

But is united merica a thing?

I'm gonna be two powerful with my two flags now!

[raw ether]

It’s only in my discord emojis

[tame solar]

Oh

Sad

9 more minutes for the update!

Just realized this is an update on a Wednesday!

Impossible!

[rigid forge]

🤸‍♂️
🏌️‍♂️

[raw ether]

Mines been done

[ionic harness]

lovely

[abstract atlas]

Nice hit!

[ionic harness]

alright so update

ive found more

lemme count

22

a bit more

[hidden pagoda]

Wow yours is really bent in and not as sharp… I kinda like it

Mine was significantly sharper

[kind mulch]

don't poke your eye out on them ;D

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah lmao

Skewers

[rigid forge]

that must be pleasant

[hidden pagoda]

I’m just crouching on it 😂

Oh I never noticed the left side might be a little longer and more inward

Since Lyra likes the wonky deer

Here’s the wonky corner

[ionic harness]

@abstract atlas how many spots do you have

like

places u go to in a run

i have 5 atm

although i might change one

[ionic harness]

how many did it take

[desert brook]

10 months worth

of Red Deer grinding

I love how my bachelor spots produced both of my greatest trophies

Instead of herd spots

I'll screenshot my personal layout for efficient Red Deer Grinding on my map

Since my Red Deer journey is over

Actually nvm

I was going to but it seemed like I had to edit because there're so many white dots the same as tents that I have to edit and draw on

[raw ether]

Uh what?

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah wat

[raw ether]

If you said whitetail I’d get that

But the red deer has been out for maybe a month at most

[full cave]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[hidden pagoda]

The great one red hasn’t even been out for ten weeks

Let alone months

[full cave]

he just got the update early

calm down

[hidden pagoda]

Lol

“10 months worth of grinding” you mean like a crap ton of hours if spaced out to 1 hour/day would take 10 months or something like that?

[full cave]

interesting

not sure what they mean

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah

[desert brook]

I started Red Deer Grinding before GO came out. I wanted a Diamond Albino/Melanistic so when the GO came out it didn't affect my Red Deer Grind at all so I just cotinued

[full cave]

but it didn’t take 10 months

that’s the thing

it did not take 10 months to get a go

[desert brook]

Well obviously

[raw ether]

The ones before the update didn’t count towards the GO you know that right

[full cave]

“obviously” no it’s not obvious

[desert brook]

I'm not counting how many Red Deer I've shot before and after the GO came out

That's a lot

If the game has a tally of it in-game then I'll gladly show

[full cave]

you could’ve said sum like “not sure, been grinding since launch”

instead of “10 months”

[desert brook]

Okay then? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Woopsies?

lmao

[hidden pagoda]

I reread your message and got that out of it I see now

[desert brook]

All you gotta know is, I'm not gonna and I will never be self-counting anything I grind. Too much effort for something I like doing when relaxing and shutting my brain off

[raw ether]

Same

Everyone asks me “how many kills did it take for your 3 GOs” man idk why would I count when the spawn is so random

[desert brook]

You'd think the game should have a feature that counts that

But nah

[ionic harness]

6* i cant count

need to add some tents for harvesting tho

otherwise seems to be p good

[plain raptor]

If I end up spending 10 months grinding red deer, I am uninstalling the game

[ionic harness]

im no LC, im not getting to 5000+

[desert brook]

Why?

[plain raptor]

I would have had it with the game at that point lmao

[hidden pagoda]

And then I’m over here tracking the hours and kills lol

Like it’s just nice to know that I have 6861 kills and 455 hours if I include pre rancho

[tame solar]

What do you mean by sharp? Like strait or pointy tips?

[hidden pagoda]

I meant yours appeared more rounded

At the end of the point

[fast ridge]

OH FOR THE LOVE OF--

[rigid forge]

🤣

smoke it

[fast ridge]

Yeah I'm gonna track him

[ionic harness]

lyra

youre making me furious

[knotty epoch]

👀

[knotty epoch]

Best of luck to ya

[coarse oak]

I feel you there , I stopped counting honestly it made me not want to grind

[fast ridge]

...and suddenly it says he's Tan instead of Piebald

I got bamboozled 😔

[coarse oak]

Hm

[hidden pagoda]

Changed tracks 👀

[fast ridge]

Alas, I checked 😭

was the same trail

I'm gonna try to catch him at the drink zone so I can actually see him

[hidden pagoda]

Oddd

[coarse oak]

How is your Mississippi grind going besides being bamboozled lol

[fast ridge]

270 in

16 away from where I got my Rancho GO

[hidden pagoda]

Heh antler hitbox on a female go brrr

[fast ridge]

got this guy earlier

[hidden pagoda]

You’re getting somewhere

[coarse oak]

Nice

[hidden pagoda]

How many have you sacrificed to RNGesus so far?

[fast ridge]

.

[coarse oak]

I got my smallest diamond today

[fast ridge]

Noice

[ionic harness]

she was standing in front of a male, i shot the male and somehow this gal got hit. Was pitch black so im not entirely sure if she did some weird twist or not

regardless a magic hit

[hidden pagoda]

Ah so not much more yeah?

[ionic harness]

23 into the red deer grind 😎

[fast ridge]

Ye

[hidden pagoda]

Taking the grind slow?

[fast ridge]

speaking of red deer, I'm thinking I might move that grind over to TA

yeah, another game's competing for my attention since yesterday

[hidden pagoda]

Or just focusing on other things?

Ah I see

[desert brook]

I’m also thinking of going to TA

[fast ridge]

new DLC for Planet Zoo. It has fallow deer and lynx.

[coarse oak]

Ark ?

[desert brook]

For Either Sika or Layton for Moose

Actually maybe Yukon for Moose

[coarse oak]

What animal pack has come out now lol

[fast ridge]

Europe

anyways,

[coarse oak]

Yea anyways

[fast ridge]

when the inevitable Moose GO hits, I actually might do that grind on medved

[hidden pagoda]

I’ve got 2 255 medium racks

[coarse oak]

I’m thinking Layton myself

[fast ridge]

I still have to replace the diamond muskie that I lost

[hidden pagoda]

Ima do Yukon probably

[fast ridge]

and I want to acquire a diamond lynx

[hidden pagoda]

Already have a moose grind set up there anyway

[coarse oak]

I forgot about yukon lol

[fast ridge]

I got my diamond moose off Yukon, so I also might go there 🤔

[coarse oak]

I may go there now since I forgot about it

Just need geese to be fixed so I can get cash for another grind setup

[fast ridge]

turkeys are a decent-if-slower alternative to geese

[hidden pagoda]

Same

You can see it at the top right corner of that door frame

Was a level 4

[fast ridge]

Nice

I knew mine was diamond before I even spotted him

he had the Brow Tines™️

[hidden pagoda]

I saw mine and went

Ooh

That’s probably a diamond

I went for a moose grind after my friend had just downloaded the game and shot a 293 max weight moose goose

[desert brook]

I see that Wonky Diamond

My god I hate it

[hidden pagoda]

Oh yeah the red

[desert brook]

If my Albino diamond Red was wonky oooh boy

I would unistall

[fast ridge]

two of my three diamond reds are wonky

[hidden pagoda]

Wait a minute

We grinded the GO species

Both got an albino diamond

😂

[desert brook]

Did you grind for whitetail?

[open dust]

How do people trade diamond animals in this game? I don't understand

[desert brook]

Oh boi

[fast ridge]

It involves exploiting how multiplayer works. Basically, do not do.

[rigid forge]

it involves a multiplayer exploit. that's all im allowed to say without loosing my moderator role

[desert brook]

You see Lyra and Cash on that question right away lol

[desert brook]

Am I allowed to explain or nah?

[open dust]

Oh ok I wad just wondering cause it doesn't make sense to me

[fast ridge]

discussing it in detail also falls under Rule J

[desert brook]

I actually don’t know how to do that

And never will

Cuz I play this game alone most of the time.

[open dust]

How come they didn't fix it with the update today?

[fast ridge]

Today's hotfix was purely for console crashes on the new map

[open dust]

Fair enough

[hidden pagoda]

Basically people who have no skill exploit multiplayer and do some stuff I am not allowed to specify

[fast ridge]

anyways, I found that diamond moose after some digging in the gallery

#🦌︴trophies message

[open dust]

Do they plan to fix it in the future

[hidden pagoda]

Ooh

[fast ridge]

I'd imagine they will eventually

[rigid forge]

though it's a very difficult problem to solve without introducing other problems in the process

[open dust]

That is a good point

I want to hunt all of my things without doing some exploit

[fast ridge]

...yeah, I got bamboozled.

Herd showed up to the zone, no piebald.

[hidden pagoda]

Really weird

[fast ridge]

it's happened to a few other people on Acres, actually

[hidden pagoda]

Acres glitch I see

Imagine if it can happen to weight estimate

You get bamboozled into thinking there’s a 97-110 and then it’s just a fence rack

[fast ridge]

thankfully it's only been fur types messing up

[hidden pagoda]

yeah

[full cave]

i clicked not expecting to get sent back 20 years

[fast ridge]

😂

[full cave]

large moose boy

i want one

i started a moose grind then realized it took tents and tripods

i had like 10k

might set up one

[fast ridge]

Yeah the cost of those things together adds up quick

[full cave]

i have atleast 20 tents and tripods a piece

[open dust]

Cam somebody tell me how the respaws in this game work?

[desert brook]

You shoot something. They spawn back after some minutes with randomized stats

Male will spawn as males and same for females

[hidden pagoda]

Also once you claim it for certain species

Like say whitetail on Layton

You have to claim them

And they have a chance of respawning as the opposite gender for some reason

Although we’ll go with red deer redemption’s answer for simplicity as that’s how most work

[fast ridge]

I have officially matched up the current grind with the first grind.

[hidden pagoda]

Nice

I’ve decided to just combine my pre rancho and post rancho numbers

[fast ridge]

#286 is a slightly wonky gold

[hidden pagoda]

It’s just so much easier to say 450 hours and 6861 kills than 112 hours and 2254 kills (plus 334 hours and 4607 from pre rancho)

So now I’m at those first 2 numbers

[hidden pagoda]

Hey again that’s a start

[fast ridge]

Ye

[hidden pagoda]

I am now a firm believer in the wonks to great one thing

Lol

YE
YEe
Ye

[fast ridge]

yeah it's almost 3AM

[hidden pagoda]

I kinda wanna put my 2 great ones in a fighting mm just to see

But that’s time and money lol

[fast ridge]

okay but that's my exact plan

[hidden pagoda]

My plan is a shit ton of huddles 😂

Like 2-5 dead serious

[hidden pagoda]

Nearly midnight for me

[fast ridge]

oh I'm def doing a rare huddle

got the piebald already though I'm highkey hoping I find a better one

[hidden pagoda]

Took me 5577 kills to get that ONE mela

The one on the wall is from mp so I don’t count it to GO grinding

[hidden pagoda]

I don’t blame you

Yeah large 6 point rack oof

~~ could be smaller ~~

[hidden pagoda]

Hard to think that this was 250 hours of grinding ago…

[hidden pagoda]

Bruh

There’s a 3 in one of my zones

But there’s only one doe with it so I have to leave it

[hidden pagoda]

Nothing special anyway

[uncut stream]

Just got this in Mississippi, can someone tell me roughly how rare it is? I know I whiffed the shot sadly but it was over 300 metres away across a river behind a tree

[keen frost]

You all are geting lucky i want a diamond white tale

[fair wind]

This makes me sad.

[keen frost]

Your trolling

[uncut stream]

I'm actually not

look

how rare are they?

[keen frost]

Very very rare

Some people it take weeks of grinding for like 2 hours and still don't get one

There called the great one

[uncut stream]

yeah i saw some people call it fabled and some people call it great one, i didnt know if there was a difference

[full cave]

unbelievable

[keen frost]

I know

[ionic harness]

singleplayer?

[uncut stream]

multiplayer private lobby with my friend

[ionic harness]

show da codex

[uncut stream]

my game isnt open rn give me a moment

[fair wind]

Did you taxi atleast lol?

[uncut stream]

i did yes

[full cave]

yeah Adam and I were out chilling on mississippi acres and he just goes "wtf a fabled whitetail" and I sat there for 10min saying I don't believe him

i am so mad lol

[ionic harness]

oml

gg

[keen frost]

Was your friend mad

[uncut stream]

@full cave

[full cave]

yes

yes I am mad

Got These Two a Little while Ago

[full cave]

however i have even less hours than Adam does so i guess I can't reaaalllly be mad about it, just the insane luck lol

we're both relatively new to CotW, it's a fantastic game

[keen frost]

It is

[ionic harness]

the beginning is the most fun

not knowing wtf ure doing and just shooting whatever you see

[keen frost]

Yup

[hidden pagoda]

How rare are they? Very.

[ionic harness]

extremely

[keen frost]

It takes people like 600 hours to get one maybe more

[uncut stream]

damn really?

[keen frost]

Idk i just put a number

[hidden pagoda]

With my stats I’ve calculated a rough 0.03% spawn rate aka 1 in 3,333 kills

But my first took 5174 kills and second took 1609

[full cave]

I've seen some youtube videos of people who killed over 3,500 red deer kills without a great one

then others with the same amount with like

5

but it is stupidly rare regardless

[hidden pagoda]

@abstract atlas has gone 10k+ without one but for reds

[full cave]

jeeez

[abstract atlas]

Bruh i cant

Look when someone gets GO from initial

[hidden pagoda]

You in pain? Mentally and physically?

[abstract atlas]

And fails the shot, im in even more pain

Both pains

I will have to lay in bed, i did 3 runs now and yawned like 50 times

[hidden pagoda]

lol it’s nearly 6am and I’m running on 4 hours of sleep

I’ve been up for 23 hours

Just did like 8 runs one of which my zones went doe only and then the next didn’t have respawns

Fun times

[uncut stream]

im sorry it was like 325 meters away and he was in a forest

[hidden pagoda]

I mean I get it

Freaked out

Shot it

[abstract atlas]

Its okayy 😂

[hidden pagoda]

A lot of people do it

[uncut stream]

it was one shot of 100% flesh

it took him like 4 minutes to bleed out

i thought i missed

[full cave]

im surprised it even died

[hidden pagoda]

And at least since it is a great one you can tell without seeing the medal unlike some diamonds

[hidden pagoda]

Whitetail always die if you hit them with an M1 poly tip round

[full cave]

ah ok didnt know that ^^

[hidden pagoda]

Just can range from dropping instantly to running 500m

[full cave]

i just bought the m1 DLC this morning so still learning the gun, fantastic so far tho really loving it

[hidden pagoda]

Ah nice

I have like 7500 kills on all of the M1s combined 🥴

[uncut stream]

jesus

[full cave]

dang I don't even think I have that many animal kills combined :p

still super new to the gamee

[hidden pagoda]

6926 are whitetail

The rest are whatever

[full cave]

how do i check my total kills for each animal? i honestly have no clue where to look

[hidden pagoda]

Actually closer to 6875 because I shoot the diamonds and whatnot with different guns

[hidden pagoda]

Oh I kept track

[full cave]

oh fair

[hidden pagoda]

I don’t think you can

[full cave]

dang, that's a lot to keep track of lol

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah lol

[ionic harness]

rt

just yawned now cause of that fuck you LC

[hidden pagoda]

But hell if I can tell you exactly how many hours and kills it took to get each whitetail in my lodge it’s worth it to me

[abstract atlas]

Yuss

[hidden pagoda]

I yawned too dammit

[abstract atlas]

Muahhaha

[full cave]

that's awesome man :D very nice collection

[hidden pagoda]

I mean there’s probably another reason but it’s your responsibility now

[hidden pagoda]

Thanks

[ionic harness]

can red deer GOs have different furs

[hidden pagoda]

Lemme just flex this as well for good measure

[ionic harness]

other than

fabled spotted

[full cave]

albino diamond? o.O

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah

[full cave]

ive never even seen an albino before

[hidden pagoda]

I was surprised as shit

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah they’re about a 0.08% chance

[full cave]

damn dude

super nice

[hidden pagoda]

I only have 4 out of my previously stated amount of wt

[abstract atlas]

Would be dumb if they didnt, they do i suppose, same as whitetail GO do

[hidden pagoda]

Adding on to the rareness, it was a level 2, scored at the very top of its estimate, and I predicted it

Hehe diamond meth deer go brrr

[ionic harness]

yeah i knew the WTs could but in the spreadsheet for red deer it says "Fabled Spotted: Great one fur"

makes it seem like that ones the only possible one

[full cave]

dang dude. I've been tempted to try and hunt specifically for rares but with my account not even being level 60 I don't think it's worth it, no?

[ionic harness]

agreed tho itd be stupid

[abstract atlas]

That would be stupid af then

[hidden pagoda]

Level ≠ Quality of spawns

[abstract atlas]

Like the logic behind it would be 0

Big deer cant be albino, mela or pie

[full cave]

well yeah i was mostly talking about the perks and stuff i need to get first

[ionic harness]

if they do exist

[full cave]

having them would make things a looooot easier (i think)

[ionic harness]

im praying for u to get one

u deserve an ultra rare GO

[hidden pagoda]

Oh yeah get the perks and supplies ie ammo/tents/tripods and then I’d go for it

[abstract atlas]

Thaat is very unlikely

[full cave]

alright cool. I just hit level 18 while hunting some wild hogs while Adam was tracking the great one he shot lol

[hidden pagoda]

He already has one

[full cave]

so got a ways to go

[hidden pagoda]

I doubt he’ll get another

But I hope he does

[abstract atlas]

Kinda

[hidden pagoda]

Well it got screwed but yk

[ionic harness]

man after 10k kills

praying for him

[abstract atlas]

Im praying it will even spawn

[ionic harness]

yeah that too obv

[hidden pagoda]

Like someone else said it’s likely something is stopping it from spawning at this point

[abstract atlas]

Yeaah

[ionic harness]

he checked hirsch

doesnt have cuatro

[abstract atlas]

I will check the rest of hrisch

[ionic harness]

ohh i thought u alr did all of hirsch

[abstract atlas]

I have cuatro,

[ionic harness]

thought u said u didnt

damb i be misremembering

[hidden pagoda]

Mmm parque is gonna suck

I hate that map

Parque and Hirsch I despise of

[abstract atlas]

Parque i dont own

[hidden pagoda]

Oof

[abstract atlas]

Like i checked hirsch and all i found was like 8 zones and 10 males

Literally half of the map

[hidden pagoda]

Lmao

Hirsch is just horse doodoo

It’s only good for euro bison and geese

[desert brook]

I like Euro bison

More than Plains

[abstract atlas]

I was gonna say AND (Insert animal here) but theres no more

[desert brook]

Red Deer 😏

Jk

Just go to Cuatro

[plush abyss]

you clearly don’t know Hirscfelden well do you?

[abstract atlas]

Thats what he said, its GOOD for euro bison and geese

[abstract atlas]

Not even closely

[plush abyss]

then that’s why it doesn’t seem like Hirschfelden is good for other animals

[desert brook]

I mean

Hirsch has

[abstract atlas]

What is there boar, fallow, rabbits, geese, bison, red deer, foxes

[desert brook]

The shooting range? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[abstract atlas]

Truu

And the bigfoot track

Or what was it

[desert brook]

Can Red Foxes be found somewhere else?

[plush abyss]

Yukon

[desert brook]

Exactly where I’m going next

Nice

[tulip barn]

I wonder if LC's beeno great one has been fixed 🤔

[plush abyss]

Hirschfelden has a lot of Wild Boar, European Rabbit, Red Fox, Roe Deer, Fallow Deer if you know where to look, which a lot of people clearly don’t, Red Deer is a bit challenging but it is still definitely a good map for them, European Bison are plentiful aswell, and Canada Goose is.. well Canada Goose.

[ionic harness]

so what youre saying is

hirschfelden has a lot of the animals that are in the map

[plush abyss]

yes, but it requires knowledge and to find them, and that knowledge seems more and more rare nowadays

[ionic harness]

yeah but if its easier to find them in another map then why bother

lol

[plush abyss]

personal preference and wanting a challenge?

those are also apparently things that are lacking a bit nowadays

[ionic harness]

bro 💀

no need to pull the boomer card constantly

if you prefer hirsch then thats fine

most people just dont like hirsch 🤷‍♂️

[plush abyss]

which is fine

but it is so tedious to hear “Hirschfelden has no animals” and “Hirschfelden is a bad map” and stuff like that

[hidden pagoda]

Well yeah because it’s a fucking ghost town of a map 😂

[full cave]

New map seems like that too.

[hidden pagoda]

“6,000,000 deer used to live here, now it’s a ghost town.”

[plush abyss]

for people that don’t know it it can seem like that

[plush abyss]

it’s also not the maps fault that people can’t find animals on it, it’s the player’s fault for lacking knowledge

[full cave]

Hirsch probably used to be my top hunted map In the day and well It is sort of a ghost town but hunting zones animals still pop up.

The Issue is the map Is too big and the animals are too spread out.

[plush abyss]

how it should be imo

the map is the same size as any other map btw

[full cave]

Erhh the map could benefit from an extra animal or two.

[plush abyss]

[full cave]

Yeah all the maps are the same size Hirsch Is just a bit bland..?

[plush abyss]

It could yes

[full cave]

Very pretty map lmo but Its quite a flat one.

Stuff like the euro bision area, Bison and roe down there could def benefit from an extra species.

[plush abyss]

I think Hirschfelden has a good variety of species and they are very spread throughout the map so it makes it a bit more challenging because there isn’t really many areas where you see a concentration of animals, there is a few though, but they change every so often.

I think Hirschfelden has a good balance of how easy it is to find animals, not too hard (if you want to get to know it) and not too easy.

which all makes sense since it was technically the first map to be released, so it was fully focused on the challenge of hunting

[full cave]

Wolves live In Germany would add a bit of spice too it.

[north nova]

I thought the same thing, and so I just started exploring the map. Like no way was it this dead. Found a spot for like 32-34 red deer on the side of a mountain

[hidden pagoda]

I went though the corn fields and found one lone fox

[north nova]

Well

[hidden pagoda]

It was a 9

Never saw another fox

[north nova]

That’s the fields

[plain raptor]

I love that spot!

[hidden pagoda]

I’m tired lmao

[north nova]

I Skyrim all the mountains I can find, maybe that’s what my lucky break was

I have two stands set up for it and while I’m exploring the map, I make sure to FT to the stands and just observe the herd. The time is from 1a-4a on my map, and they don’t usually show up until 3-3:30a

[full cave]

I feel like Eurasian wolves would be a neat thing to add to Hirsch along with pheasants.

[plush abyss]

I don’t feel like wolves would fit, Pheasants would be much better

[north nova]

😂 that’s fair

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah I’ve been up for 24 hours on 4 hours of sleep and a shit ton of caffeine

[full cave]

Erhh I think they would especially down towards where the bison are.

[north nova]

Nap time, yo

[hidden pagoda]

*sleep time

[plush abyss]

that would be a better idea

[hidden pagoda]

It’s winter break

Time to become a nocturnal gremlin

[ionic harness]

already ?

[full cave]

Every map besides hirsch (+ new Zealand) has a larger predator on it.

[ionic harness]

lucky

[hidden pagoda]

For 2.5 weeks

[north nova]

Careful, it might become your habit. Then you’ll be sat there in your 30s like “tf did I do wrong”

[ionic harness]

hey at least he'll have an entire lodge of GOs

[hidden pagoda]

It already did become my habit lol

[plush abyss]

well, some areas of the world just doesn’t have big predators, and a map having a big predator doesn’t really matter, it shouldn’t at least

[hidden pagoda]

No in person school for a year and a half?

I never went to sleep at a good time for all of that.

[full cave]

Rancho always had bears as far as I'm aware.

Oh huh

[hidden pagoda]

Rancho doesn’t have bears

[full cave]

I thought SRP whoops.

[hidden pagoda]

Ah I see
