Any good spots for moose found yet? I noticed that at a few outposts there are Moose zones w/in 150m. But do they produce good animals?

My friend accidentally taxed a diamond teal that I shot and I claimed it first without even seeing that I shot cuz I thought he shot it but backed out of it and let him claim it and told me that I shot it right after he taxed it 🫠

anybody got a revontuli tent map for grinding whitetail/moose?

midnight moon
#

like a general layout

sturdy karma
#

@midnight moon I have a general map but its a stream map. As far as direct place to put your tent. I have one on each side of the swap in the northeast corner

#

Same with Northwest corner up on the rocky flats (full of deer..who would ahev thought)

tough drift
#

The higher level the animal the more skiddish they are

#

Also the less likely they are to go aggro (if they can)

#

Higher levels are more likely to just run

How does the new spook meter work ?

2 questions:

  1. How do i get the big harvest screen on xbox? Since the update changed the game to NOT fit into the screen completely, the button prompts are covered up out of screen.

  2. The 4th target on the side quest "don't fear failure" cannot be hit for some reason. Anyone got any tips?

Rabbits are hard for me to see; will shoot them when I can but they move so fast and usually in so much brush.

#

Rabbits are more shot out of boredom in a stand or opportunistic for me if spot em while wabdering the map.

frank perch
#

Rabbits to me are almost ambient, I ignore them for the most part

plain yoke
#

Thats why when you hunt them with dogs IRL you try to position yourself In a clear area so that when the dogs chase the rabbit into that clearing you can get a better shot at him ....

#

Rabbits IRL will not go far from a burrow .... When chased they will run in a wide circle and eventually come back to where they were jumped .

if I have a lake with just tiny moose should I delete the zones?

We have almost had more ultra rare whitetail than we have had albino quail

We seriuosly need a .375 or .416, something that can punch holes in aggressive buffalo and follow up faster than the double

JMO, the new map (what I have seen) is very realistic though I’ve never seen the northern part. But my hunting on the N Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee on the southern end looks just like this.

I can't even find the number for reindeer tags in Finland

But what I can tell is the area that we are probably hunting in the game is a different area than where reindeer even live

they arent super fussy about that part as long as its the general area (example being the sika deer and chamois in the same place on te awaroa when they are on completely different new zealand islands in real life) so id say its def the tag thing for the reindeer

# long spade I hate bird hunting, they fly straight into the trees

Birds are easy, and they fly slow again, just gotta set up your blind in an open area. Geese fly in against the wind, so remember that when you set up, and if you wait until they all land you should be able to easily get at least 2 off of each flock, I can do it with controller and I suck, so you can do it too 🙂

#

And if you want a good spot for NE, bottom left, the "brain" lake there is great for all 3 species, its close to an outpost, and has a stand already if you don't have a blind.

long spade
#

I don't care for duck, geese, or game birds, at least not enough to set up for them

candid pumice
#

Well, they practically land on me when I hunt them, and only get spooked when really close or if they catch my scent bc i didn't set up properly. So imo the spook radius for birds is still fine.

bird hunting in cotw has come a long way. just a year ago we didnt have a whole lot of species and on top of that, it just was not nearly as enjoyable to hunt them

I don't. I can't be bothered crawling and crouch walking through the entire map just to see one animal. The game was fine before the 275M spook radius. They should've just added a "realistic" difficulty setting.

I run all the time and see plenty of animals

Hirsch might be a different story

I've been running up to like 225 yds glassing, shooting the highest level and moving on. haven't really seen the issue with the spook radius yet and I got like 40ish moose yesterday. I was on Rev if that makes a difference

It’s a bit more difficult, sure, and when placing my tents and tripods for grinding I have to put more thought into my placements and I don’t always get as many males as I would like, but I am still getting decent traction regardless

I'm not really grinding, at the very least not hard (don't see the reason cause the odds are so low) but I'm making a decent amount of cash on a new account just running moose lakes I usually take one or two so I know I can keep track of them

Had an interesting NEM session today. Went to a tiny pond in the higher levels, with a 9 whitetail drink zone. I set up my tripod and waited. 5-10 min before that, I had shot and killed a low level male moose at the same location. While sitting in the tripod suddenly a low level male moose charges through the trees, obviously trying to hit me, up there in the tripod, and then ran away. A few minutes later, another, much larger, male moose came charging through the trees doing the same attempt at hitting me. and he also ran away.

#

Maybe the one moose I hit earlier just had time to send a "HELP" text to his moose buddies before he died 😉

Is the rangefinder bowsight currently bugged?

Was wondering why all my 100 meter bow shots had missed their intended target so went to do some testing on the hirschfelden range.
Turns out that when I rangefind at 40 meters and switch zeroing to 60 meters the bow finally lands it's mark for 100 meter shots.
If I zero on 60 meters and rangefind all my shots go somewhere but where exactly I have no clue.

No I mean EW is stupid

Did they also change animal behavior after they spook? I'm not getting animals coming back to their zones after spooking once...

Not in this case, it's still well within the drink zone. I spooked a herd of deer and they never came back to their zone. Followed them after a while and found they grouped up with another herd at a different lake drinking

#

I don't remember ever seeing that before

That may have happened to me, but my memory of it is foggy. It would have been as you described

@wintry frost if somebody tried to harm you while getting a soda at 7-11 would you go back there an hour later to fill your slurpee?

wintry frost
#

lol, it's certainly more realistic, but I'd like to know if they changed their behavior in the game

shrewd kestrel
#

@wintry frost EW cannot tune everything in the game to accommodate people who just want to massacre thousands of animals to grind trophies. If the behavior of the animals is too predictable then it’s just a shooting gallery.

wintry frost
#

You're assuming I'd be upset about the change... I have no issues with EW's decisions to change things, but when they do, it should be laid out that something changed, even if it's not exactly how it works

#

I do not grind. I spot and stalk usually, generally walking or crouch walking following tracks

I disagree. It’s none of your business how the code works. If you know every nuance of how the code works then there’s no sense of adventure or randomness or winning and losing it’s just a system you’re manipulating

low citrus
#

He’s not asking to know how the code works, just that EW should announce when they’ve made a change to animal behaviour, etc

wintry frost
#

Agree to disagree. I'm not expecting them to lay out exactly how things work. But if I'm buying a DLC for a game I've been playing for two years and they make changes to how the game plays, that should be informed in my opinion

#

I think the happy middle here is just saying, in even a bullet point, that animal behavior is different, and then have players figure out what that is

#

Also, stay off of multiplayer cuz it resets your singleplayer population

wintry frost
#

Oh dang. Good to know. I never play multiplayer, personally.

#

If they don't announce it, people just assume it's another famous EW DLC-induced bug

wintry frost
#

@low citrus looks like you were right. They did come back this time, just a lot slower than I remember!

Glad I could help

Well at this point any deviation from the predictable mechanics that allow for maximum trophy grinding is seen as a “bug”. I’m not saying the game should be punishingly vague, unpredictable and random to the point where players are miserable but the pendulum has swung way to far in the direction of grinders wanting every game system fine tuned for massacring thousands of animals to grind trophies. The problem with this design philosophy is that it basically makes the game cookie clicker. I don’t think that’s what EW had in mind when they wanted to make an beautiful immersive hunting simulator-ish game

wintry frost
#

I see what you're saying, but the beauty of it is that the game can still be played as a more simulator style. But it is pretty clear that EW in and has encouraged grinding for trophies. Even the official streams for the New England map talk about how it'll be nice having so many GO species on it, specifically for the grinding. But, as I said earlier, I'm not one of those players. I play slowly and cautiously, it's just hard to have a strategy if the AI changes without warning.

Get them hooked and then make it exceedingly more difficult to achieve the reward. Very very interesting stuff

Day 2 of moose herd management. Noticing a significant amount of 2’s across my map. Also a lot of max weight estimate level 4’s. The slaughter continues

I wish I could use the .270 for roe deer!

@long spade Bambi?

#

You want to blow Bambi away with a 270?

shrewd kestrel
#

@long spade so then go for it

#

Use your 270

#

I still want the Diamond

#

The .270 poly tips have 35 penetration, the .243 had 30, the .270 is not a moose rifle but it could be great for for class 3-7

#

and if would offer a little more variety to the class hunting

shrewd kestrel
#

Why don’t you just use the correct rifle for the Roe

#

243

slim lodge
#

Or the Lever Action

30-30 and 30-6 is where it’s at

I wanna use different rifles once in a while

I've been playing this game for 5 years I wanna use a different rifle

Or buy them

It’s a shame we don’t have as much variety for the lower classes
