ChatGPT should not be used for anything, let alone trusted

[royal yarrow]

ok

[uneven bloom]

this game is also about ethical hunting

[fiery ferry]

and still missing the suppressor

[finite wagon]

Missing a lotta rares. See #🦡︴cotw-scotland message

Any new rares since the most recent update of that message btw?

[fiery ferry]

never claimed the work for that sheet, i got it 8h ago or so in this chat

[gusty umbra]

Alright!

[long lintel]

I think we can all agree that Alberta is one of the best maps in the game

Annnnd a Moose just killed me

[amber kiln]

No but you forgot piebald bighorns

[finite wagon]

See, I THOUGHT we had those since I saw them being mentioned

Just never saw photos

[fiery ferry]

change my mind but piebald beaver looks like seaotters

[long lintel]

Can we?

[amber kiln]

That’s all I can think of that’s missing. Besides maybe leu woodland caribou, but I don’t think it’s been confirmed

[stoic echo]

duhh

ofc

[fiery ferry]

littlem bit offtopic but are there any new maps/animals in the hunter classic?

[long lintel]

Holy crap biggest bull moose I’ve seen by far on this map

What a beast

[normal silo]

Does anyone have a picture of there mule deer grind set up on the new map? I’m struggling finding spots to put tents.

[long lintel]

Bro oh my god I can’t get over how cute the beavers are

[willow skiff]

i shoot them in the balls 😌

[fiery ferry]

they get even cuter if you serve them with cranberrysauce

[stoic echo]

alot of cranberry sauce

[thin arch]

Loved the story missions for this map, but i wish they lasted a little longer. It took me maybe 3 hours to get through them

[willow skiff]

and some mashed potatoes

[stoic echo]

ooo ye

[fiery ferry]

deep-frie the tail and use the cranberrysauce as a dip

[willow skiff]

i want baden drama story missions back
I love story missions, i wish they focused a little bit more on them

[thin arch]

which one was that again? Layton lakes?

[stoic echo]

alot of maps

like 8 maps

have badens

[jade wyvern]

No too deep and knocks you out

[radiant wren]

Well darn

[eager thicket]

Same. I wanted more. Like what was Gabe and warden actual relationship? Were they once friends or...

[royal yarrow]

they should add it so you can turn trophy animals into pelts or clothing or leather boots

[eager thicket]

The one with most drama was Silver Ridge.

[royal yarrow]

pelts as a carpet in the lodge

[normal silo]

Anyone got a beaver set up on Xbox? I’m just trynna hunt a few beaves but don’t wanna break my mule deer set up

[split otter]

Face animals pull before spooking is hilarious now.

[royal yarrow]

and great one boots made of mule deer great one leather and antlers on the side

[thin arch]

I might have misunderstood something, but ||i was under the impression he a coworker who was kind of reluctantly cooperating with the government to build the ski resort||

[fiery ferry]

we need a new dog-breed.
it should be an sub-breed of the retriever.
its the Beaver-retriever

[jade thicket]

wood duck guide has just gone out hope it helps !#

[royal yarrow]

like this but leeather with trophy animal antlers instead of wings

it would look cool

[heady trench]

Good afternoon

[thin arch]

All i remember from silver ridge is something to do with a coal mine, i probably finished it in the same week the map came out

[eager thicket]

||He was definitely a coworker. I agree with that. But I was looking at his picture for the side mission, and only then did I realize he was also a Native. Which made it confusing why he seemed so okay with the resort being built as she said it was his idea.||

[thin arch]

||The narrator lady said you have to be a certain native to work at the park, but i can't remember what off the top of my head||

[sharp pike]

thats stupid

[thin arch]

||But either way you have to be native, so i feel like the impression they're going for is that he's trying to make the process easier even though he's clearly not super happy about it||

[sharp pike]

the spawn area reminds me of marmot basin

[gentle raven]

Is molting dusky rare??

[night trench]

No

[half frost]

Very pretty map, eh

[red violet]

can't wait for the iberian wolf to get an upgrade to be up par with the new grey 😭

also glad I kept that random dark grey from some years ago. So pretty

[gentle raven]

Uncommon?

[night trench]

Yeah

[thin arch]

Also i noticed something, and i don't think i have to mark this with a spoiler because it's not related to the missions, but i will anyway. ||So if you look at the flyers, you'll find a newspaper section that says "LOCAL NEWS Firewatch disappearance at Jigstep Feet remains a mystery", and if you go to that outpost, the windows are barred shut and you can't go inside||

[eager thicket]

Fair enough.

[wintry grotto]

They need to fix the ai on the dogs bro

[eager thicket]

I know what I'm doing later...

[wintry grotto]

He was running into that tree for 10 minutes

[gentle raven]

I just got a dime molting dusky is it equivalent to getting a dime piebald mallard or more rare?

[fiery ferry]

were is that outpost

[main crest]

anyone else notice that the codex for Paskwaw Mostos and Le Chemin Des Roues is flipped?

[normal silo]

Anyone got a pic of the beaver hotspots?

[royal yarrow]

no

its cool

[thin arch]

It's the lookout point (Not an outpost, sorry about that) that's kind of in the lower center on the far right side of the map

[normal silo]

Bet thanks

[drowsy mauve]

The lake is escaping! good stuff

[finite wagon]

||Cree and somerhing else that I think started with a T and had a fancy letter like à?||

||I know Cree was one for sure, the other one tho I cant rememher too well||

[thin arch]

I double checked and it's actually the one that's the furthest east

[thin arch]

||it started with an M||

[errant walrus]

Have you guys found any snow geese I haven’t seen a single on

One

[abstract bramble]

anyone got a screenshot of the new map of all the reserves?

[fiery ferry]

left side on the map exactly in the middle area

[normal silo]

What’s the best time to hunt beavers

[turbid wren]

Where can u find the caribou?

[errant walrus]

Cool thanks

[errant walrus]

I think they’re all north

[lone forge]

Far north

[fiery ferry]

Northeast from toplip quiver outpost

[errant walrus]

What time do woodland caribou drink?

[finite wagon]

Just posted

[thin arch]

one more interesting detail, i'm reasonably sure that the map is supposed to be Banff National Park. At the very least, it took inspiration from that. That's a real place in Alberta in about the same place on the world map that also has a cosmic ray measuring station that's basically identical to the one in game

[jade thicket]

is that what you mean

[abstract bramble]

I mean the screen where you can see all of the reserves we have

thx tho lol

[finite wagon]

They mean the global world map

[jovial musk]

Nothing worse than a diamond fallow deer running into the river before dying

Now I gotta wait for him to float in

[fringe basalt]

How good is the 30-30 we get for free

[jovial musk]

Great for class 2-4

[thin arch]

I think it's pretty fun but i've found that it doesn't feel as effective after you get past class 4 or 5

[modest nimbus]

does a dusky grouse count as an upland game bird? just accepted the daily challenge for upland game bird from 164yds+ and it did not count

[remote bough]

erm i think the quest got bugged

[fringe basalt]

What would be the best weapon for mule deer and manotoban elk

[fringe basalt]

Just go up it’ll still do it

[remote bough]

i did it already once

lemme try that once more

[abstract bramble]

I like to use the .450

[remote bough]

im at the top, nope, still didnt worked

[fringe basalt]

Try to leave and rejoin

[remote bough]

alr

[cinder zephyr]

where is the best for the pintail and wood duck not sure

[remote bough]

weird

[quartz horizon]

Whoops

[fringe basalt]

Did it work

[remote bough]

nope

i cant even go up to the tower

[fringe basalt]

What

Weird

[remote bough]

ok finally it worked

i had to reset the game

[fringe basalt]

W

[finite wagon]

@gusty umbra ready to be deployed?

[finite wagon]

It should, whats the challenge? Im not ingame rn

Probably better to try ptarmagin and pheasant since they have to be airborne

[modest nimbus]

shot it from 205yds passed harvest check

[finite wagon]

Could try ptarmagin

[modest nimbus]

copy thanks

[finite wagon]

Its weird bc the dusky grouse should count but its probably because of two reasons

• Perhaps its because the dusky grouse is a new animal and the game hasnt fully registered it yet?
• It has to be an upland bird that has to be airborne, like ptarmagin or pheasant. Try a Black grouse and see if thats the case bc Black grouse dont need to be airborne

[cursive patrol]

Does anyone know what all new fur patterns the grey wolves got in the rework? And what they kept from before

[finite wagon]

Only new one is the common Brown

Everything else got reworked

[stoic echo]

i wonder if they added any new rares

[finite wagon]

As far as we know

[cursive patrol]

Oh okay I wasn't sure if they removed like the blonde or eggshell

[finite wagon]

They could have added new rares we just dont know it yet

[finite wagon]

Nope those are still around!

[cursive patrol]

Oki thanks

Kinda surprised they don't release lists of everything newly reworked and the stats for them

[finite wagon]

Dark Grey is also still around unfortunately 😔

[midnight spoke]

The new dark grey is stunning and I think they tweaked the rarities just like the Canada Goose

[finite wagon]

Prak opportunity to replace it with an umbral brown melanistic wolf

[finite wagon]

I havent seen the new dark grey

Whats it look like

I havent shot one yet

[gusty umbra]

Absolutely

[finite wagon]

Plenty of grey and brown tho

[midnight spoke]

Thank you

[finite wagon]

Wait hold up

Thats kinda peak

[radiant wren]

The wolf reworks look amazing, even the commons

[cursive patrol]

Yeah they do

[finite wagon]

I wanna see the face tho

[radiant wren]

They’re just as adorable/good looking

[radiant wren]

I was face to face with a mythical last night

[cursive patrol]

Time to go look at my diamond blonde one I got years ago and see if the rework did the fur justice

[radiant wren]

They look so good, coming from someone that doesn’t even like the wolves

[radiant wren]

You’ll be surprised

[finite wagon]

Red brown right?

I can show ya him in the lodge rn

I have on3

[dim isle]

what’s the beaver population

[cursive patrol]

I just went to my lodge to look. Gonna look at my eggshell too

[finite wagon]

20 at each of these spotd

[radiant wren]

The eggshell looks so much better than it used to

[modest nimbus]

@jade thicket thanks for that video and pictures yesterday! Helped me out alot, new sub here!

[radiant wren]

All the furs that got reworked just look phenomenal, not to be too optimistic but wow lol I was impressed
The texture and dimension they gave to those previously flat furs is crazy

My albino sheep look crazy cool

[finite wagon]

Launching game now, expect an invite soon

Im rlly liking the dark grey, i should get one

[gusty umbra]

I haven't checked my wolves, only killing the ones that attack me

I do have a pack with two 8 mythicals in it

[finite wagon]

Yea the legendary attacked me and i made sure to not attack it back

[abstract bramble]

thx!

[dim isle]

wolves are much more aggro now I like the change

I only ever got attacked once on Yukon or Medved before

[midnight valve]

I've found them too be very non agressive lol.

[radiant wren]

I thought they were less aggro lol!

[midnight valve]

For how much I've been running around I've had like 3 groups attack

[dim isle]

maybe it’s a coincidence lol

[grand jetty]

Justice to angrey wolves

[radiant wren]

Have yet to be attacked and I got up under 100yds from a few diff packs, they don’t even care
The first time they notice me they just run away

[oblique plinth]

ive never been so thrilled to be attacked by them

theyre just so cute

[finite wagon]

nice mulie i shot

funky pose on him

gonna tax him bc hes cute

[radiant wren]

This boy got a massive upgrade with the rework, looks even better than he did before

[radiant wren]

Super cute! The snow really adds to the adorable ness ☺️

[ionic kindle]

Anyone able to recommend what gun to use when it comes to hunting beaver?

[gusty umbra]

Idek what happened here

[finite wagon]

@gusty umbra

[gusty umbra]

Oh.

Oh god

[finite wagon]

did you shoot the caribou of hell wtfg

[weak smelt]

.243

[queen panther]

Caribou popped a benadryl

[stray basalt]

.22H

[novel thicket]

uh

i just joined alberta for the first time

what trophy level is a diamond wolf?

grey wolf

there is a level 8 mythical and it has up to 39 trophy rating

there is also a level 7 in the same pack

[remote bough]

9

[novel thicket]

oh dang

diamond is 39

[jovial musk]

Found Mela snow goose

Tryna get his zone

[fiery ferry]

wich scope has the biggest zoom?

[jovial musk]

The Argus I think

[radiant wren]

Saw that glitch happen the last 1-2 weeks even before update 💀 did you happen to leave the session and come back after shooting it?

Haven’t seen it on anything but caribou/reindeer yet

It was happening on medved but wouldn’t be surprised it’s elsewhere

[finite wagon]

My friend shot it

[hardy apex]

snow is good

[radiant wren]

Ah, that might have something to do with it
Usually I see it in multiplayer sessions when someone else shoots it and leaves

[finite wagon]

Friend shot it - it became undead for them. Dead, but alive. Ragdolled on the ground but spottable and full on health like nothing happened.

[radiant wren]

Lol! That’s what happened to ours too!

[finite wagon]

I go there to investigate, games fine for me

I look at the harvest screen

Brother shot krampus' reindeer

He didnt leave btw

He was still in the server

[radiant wren]

Shot it but it wouldn’t go down despite being vitally shot multiple times and it should have been dead. It was in a herd stuck with a bunch of other deer that wouldn’t move lol
When they finally unglitched and went down, they couldn’t claim so left session and came back
Eventually was able to claim but then the antlers looked exactly like that

[finite wagon]

Just a funny thing that happened lol i claimed it and we moved on

[radiant wren]

Ah I asked because it said 0 xp/$$$
that happens when you leave and come back or someone else claims it

[radiant wren]

Totally lol there’s enough bugs like that in this game
Just another day in COTW lol

[vale lynx]

What is dime for Maniton elk

[vivid cosmos]

I think I'll be able to grind all my bighorn in just 2 lakes

[zealous wren]

What’s some loadouts people are using on the new map? And if you got a backpack on or not

[cursive patrol]

430 I think

[vale lynx]

Thank you 😁

[vivid cosmos]

There as 15 males at both the highest and lowest lakes

[brisk mauve]

Question

Once you shoot a beaver group

Will they resurface after a bit

[weak smelt]

.375, .303, .22h, .44 moradi, and 12ga cacciatore.

No backpack cuz that thing is literally useless

[zealous wren]

Thanks

[tepid nexus]

just like u

[stoic echo]

woah

[weak smelt]

Ya mama

[tepid nexus]

wasnt even funny nerd

get better

[weak smelt]

#owned🔥

[tepid nexus]

hashtag flamed

[gusty umbra]

It was traveling but just standing there, I shot it in the heart and on my screen it downed though it's health didn't change and I could still spot it when it was ragdolled on the ground with the vital puddle

[uneven bloom]

...were you on a public multi by any chance?

[gusty umbra]

No

We're on multi with just us two

[uneven bloom]

have you been on one recently?

[gusty umbra]

Nope

[uneven bloom]

because that kind of weirdness usually comes out of interacting with someone that used mods at some point

[cursive patrol]

First diamond of the new map

[gusty umbra]

Like cooties??

[uneven bloom]

due to the way multi works...yeah, kinda

[gusty umbra]

Weird..

[languid wedge]

Was you host or the other?

[gusty umbra]

I am not host and the host tracked and found the Caribou's actual body

[languid wedge]

Sounds like extremely high ping or partial disconnect

[gusty umbra]

Only happened once

[lone forge]

Where would y'all say is good for dusky grouse hunting?

[harsh olive]

Any beaver ponds with wood ducks and pintails in it?

[languid wedge]

The one above the far southeast corner

[vivid cosmos]

I'm HM my bighorns to no success yet I have 2 lakes with a ton of them and almost none lvl 2s, I haven't seen a single lvl 1

[jade thicket]

457.56

[vale lynx]

Thank you

[jade thicket]

yeah bottom right

[harsh olive]

Thank you! I hunt the woodies in IRL in beaver ponds that's the best place for them, so I'm dying to do that in the game

[jade thicket]

ive made a wood duck video guide today

[fiery ferry]

Storymissions were a bit underwhelming

[harsh olive]

Oh sweet! I'll have to check it out

[jade thicket]

but that area is really good for them

they are at other locations but that area just get a set up and you golden

[harsh olive]

I've been focusing on missions all day yesterday and today before I start "hunting" and doing a mule deer grind

[regal fox]

I've looked for beavers in the areas that there at but I can't find any. Are they only in a very specific area?

[jade thicket]

try the different times

early morning seems to work wel

[regal fox]

Are they only near the beaver dams?

[jade thicket]

also the gathering times

[regal fox]

Ok thanks

[jade thicket]

there is 20 beavers at that place

two groups of 10

[harsh olive]

Spawning right at my blind with tent didnt seem to spook the beavers I've noticed

[jade thicket]

4 locations 20 at each 80 in total

[regal fox]

Oh that's awesome, thanks

[spice bluff]

First animal on Alberta map! Albino moose. Second amimal, a Diamond Mountain goat

[regal fox]

Dang

[fiery ferry]

i had way more there^^
stayed for 24 ingame hours at one dame and they spawned again and again

[uneven bloom]

that sounds like something that won't last

[harsh olive]

My first moose on map was also my first diamond moose

[fiery ferry]

shot around 75-90 at one location ^^

[jade thicket]

maybe just the respawns

beavers might be different

[sharp pike]

is this true or ai nonsense

[uneven bloom]

considering that I know where that came from on the server, most likely AI

[lone forge]

What is rpg

Like roleplay,

[uneven bloom]

rocket-powered grenade launcher.

[harsh olive]

Whats rare and uncommon woodland bison fur type anyone know? I shot a few gingers and didn't save them to make room for a bigger light brown was that bad

[lone forge]

Oh

[lone forge]

Both are common

[harsh olive]

Oh ok good

What about gray wolves is the brown common?

[dusky wolf]

Brown is common

Red brown is rare however

[sharp pike]

i doubt that guy is a real life hunter

[uneven bloom]

oh all his info's coming from ChatGPT

[dusky wolf]

No

(We really need to remake the Aaron spreadsheet)

[harsh olive]

Who's not a irl hunter?

[plucky forge]

me

[dusky wolf]

Me aswell, I don’t got the patience for it nor do I like the idea of sitting in a tent for the whole day just hoping something shows up

[plucky forge]

i cannot afford anything cuz im 15

[harsh olive]

I love irl hunting

[red violet]

Sunglasses DLC when? Getting snowblind over here lol

[plucky forge]

and nobody in my surroundings is practicing this so yea

[harsh olive]

It can deff get expensive depending on what you hunt

[radiant wren]

Usually, but this has also happened on console in sessions where it’s just friends playing
I think mods just exacerbate the possibility of it happening 😅 that’s how it is in other games I’ve played

[dreamy goblet]

Just messed up a diamond beaver cause I hit the spine instead of the lungs, GG Boys 😭

[dusky wolf]

This is why I wish we got the animal audio clue thing to be customizable

It’s nearly invisible to see on snow maps because the audio clue is white

We have it for animal tracks and dog outlines so why not the audio

[radiant wren]

That is one of the biggest issues I have with medved and askiy

I have eyesight issues as it is, the snow + the visual indicators being white makes it impossible

To like actually pay attention and hunt normally

[unique roost]

Love this screenshot I took! I wish you could pause the game when you turn on photo mode

[dusky wolf]

Even without eyesight issues it’s still hard to see

[red violet]

something for the feedback channel maybe

[uneven bloom]

oh there's been a pause functionality request in there for ages

[unique roost]

That would be so good, like in Way of the Hunter

[dusky wolf]

Almost as long as trophy poses

[dreamy goblet]

Those little buggers have their lungs and spine so close together.

[unique roost]

Glitched animals make for good photo models too

So beautiful

[dusky wolf]

Here’s hoping we get reworked euro and plains bison soon

[limber cliff]

in love

[dusky wolf]

I have yet to find the wood bison actually, I’ve been enjoying the mountains

[limber cliff]

he lookin a lil HeiHei

[dusky wolf]

It’s nice to have a proper mountain map now

[finite wagon]

Confirming

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/heihei-kakamora-moana-moana-2-gif-209631580769976295

[finite wagon]

I have a diamond elk on my map somewhere

High est of 517 max i think

[unique roost]

Full herd glitched but I'm not complaining!

[dusky wolf]

Cuatro and silver ridge peaks are more so just located at the foot hills of the mountains

[dusky wolf]

I’ve had a lot of glitched animals to

I mean I ain’t complaining

Easy shot

[unique roost]

Also snatched this prize!

[limber cliff]

I wonder if it's AI that is broken, or hitboxes snagging on things

[dusky wolf]

I’m still surprised my first trophy from askiy ridge was a piebald beaver at the mission area for the beavers

[molten depot]

💀

[limber cliff]

the gift from the Beaver Gods

[dusky wolf]

They’re also stupid

I shot the piebald and not even 15 seconds later the other ones are back from going under the water

Everything Ingame feels a bit stupid atm

Ai wise

[limber cliff]

hmm..

[unique roost]

This was my first trophy right in the first outpost, the second animal I saw in the reserve

[limber cliff]

Well if you ever have the thought, ahead of time, make a clip when you find something remarkable and submit it to Support in the online portal
They can fwd it to the QA/Dev side of things and have it looked over.
https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[dusky wolf]

But regardless I don’t think beavers should have good eyesight ingame because they have atrocious eyesight irl, it’s bad to the point if you sit perfectly still down wind they won’t be able to register you as there

They did this by using wolf decoys to research how wolves hunt beavers in certain areas

The smell and hearing should stay the same Ingame imo

They’re pretty gifted in those aspects

[unique roost]

Stunned by the beauty of this reserve

[dusky wolf]

It’s really nice looking at night to

It reminds me of growing up in the country side of where I live

But there isn’t a map that has fully reminded me of where I live yet

[digital quartz]

I wish we had 3d models of the maps that we could look at

I might have been able to find the turkeys if that were the case

[pine lily]

damn

[valid summit]

What are the best pintail and woodduck spots , cause the spots i saw on the map aren't too great

[dim isle]

is ginger split anything good

[limber hazel]

no

[stray basalt]

The cookie?

[past merlin]

Where are beaver mostly at on the map I can’t find them

[regal fox]

Does hunting pressure matter with beavers?

[dreamy goblet]

They are on the little widened "Wetlands" on the river. Youll see it on the map.^^

They are just thicker than the rest of the river.

[dim isle]

They’re at those circular river zones where the river becomes very branched out

[regal fox]

The areas on the rivers that are wider

[midnight moon]

Who wants to do a mule deer grind in your map?

[regal fox]

Like tree branches

[midnight moon]

Xbox

[regal fox]

Does hunting pressure matter for beavers?

[mystic sorrel]

There’s only about 40 beavers on the map

[mystic sorrel]

Yes

[fiery ferry]

80

[mystic sorrel]

You don’t want to delete they’re feed zone

[midnight moon]

Who wants to do a mule deer grind in your map? Xbox

[mystic sorrel]

Really? Each beaver area I go too I have only seen one feed zone for the colony unless there’s 8 beaver houses instead of 4

[velvet lava]

that pic looks beautiful

[fiery ferry]

normaly there should be 20 at each dam

[velvet lava]

btw did they remodel plains bison?

[fiery ferry]

and hunting pressure doesnt seem to be a big thing for beavers

[mystic sorrel]

Well don’t they all eat together in one zone?

[stray basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[velvet lava]

bruh why

[mystic sorrel]

I would think it would delete the zone though

The feed zone is the best time imo to get them

[velvet lava]

im not saying plains bison look too bad but they could use a major remodel

[stray basalt]

Because they looks nothing like plains bison

[velvet lava]

what does?

[stray basalt]

And that would require money

[fiery ferry]

i for myself shoot 75-90 beavers in one single area in 24h ingametime without restarting the game and the whole area was under deadzone pressure

[unique roost]

They also didn't updated the reindeer in Medved and they are the same species

[mystic sorrel]

I just wouldn’t want to loose the zones

Imma probably shoot the 4 zones with tri pods

[fiery ferry]

the beavers are always in the dam areas so the feedzone isnt as importand

[stray basalt]

I’m gonna be honest

[mystic sorrel]

They aren’t always at the damn though they spread out a ton

[stray basalt]

Ive yet to see beavers at the dam

[mystic sorrel]

Feed zone is your best chance to get em clumped up

[mystic sorrel]

Only the one zone from your missions that’s the only group I have seen

[stray basalt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/818877458140627044/1384710950200021012/image0.gif

[velvet lava]

i wish plains bison didnt have that goofy face in cotw

The plains bison model id as silly as the grizzly model to me

after seeing wood bison i know EW can do better

[fresh pike]

Is this a rare fur type?

[ivory vapor]

Yes

[velvet lava]

yes

[fresh pike]

Thanks!

[ivory vapor]

Congrats on that

[velvet lava]

im a classic player 😭

i want a dilute mulie in classic

i havent seen one

[vivid cosmos]

What should I hunt after bighorn caribou, mule deer or wood duck?

[velvet lava]

mule deer

cuz there are great ones even tho they dont look to good

they look cool but too fantasy like

yeah it was a stretch for the other g1s to have such stunning fur types and racks (black bears too) but atleast those fur types and racks are possible in real life

[vivid cosmos]

I don't want to get exited for a short grind, I did for Fallow and got 10k and gave up

I'm grinding bighorn tho so the setup is done already

[finite wagon]

@gusty umbra ngl bro, askiy is kinda peak for those more realistic hunts where youre not just fast travelling everywhere around lakes looking to find trophies. This map (and NEM) are perfect for the hunters who just wanna wander around, explore, look at the sights, not so much shooting, just being a realistic hunter

Idk if that makes sense

[gusty umbra]

Yeah

[finite wagon]

I almost feel like thats the point

[gusty umbra]

Exactly what I do unless I'm trying for a specific trophy

[sudden tinsel]

Will the beaver god be on my side and grant me a diamond

[brisk mauve]

💀💀💀

2nd troll

The first I messed up on

Same score to

[sudden tinsel]

What animal and can we get a hat trick

[vivid cosmos]

Someone is complaining that Askiy is too difficult? Git gud noobs

[brisk mauve]

Elk

The new ones

[sudden tinsel]

Ahhh

[vivid cosmos]

457 for Manitoban?

[velvet lava]

guys thehunter classics “bison” has the beard of a wood bison but hump of a plains bison

[harsh olive]

G1 black bear is male only right

[brisk mauve]

Yes

[brisk mauve]

Yes

[velvet lava]

And this map is based off alaska

[finite wagon]

Yes

[velvet lava]

what do you think these bison are?

[pulsar notch]

Is anyone else having the problem of water fowl getting stuck?

[sharp pike]

could be a hybrid thing

[velvet lava]

All bison found in the reserve are hybrids 😭

i was thinking that too

[vivid cosmos]

Woolains

[finite wagon]

I think thats the point of Askiy. You cant treat the lakes as a shooting range. Just enjoy the sights and if ya stumble upon a diamond, great!

[vivid cosmos]

Bison²

[stray basalt]

I hunted this one very large bull elk for like 3 hours yesterday, battle of the bugles

10/10

[finite wagon]

This is what the new map is all about babyyy

[vivid cosmos]

I like the maps that force you to change strategy

[sharp pike]

i love marmots

[vivid cosmos]

It's all about Git Gud

[sharp pike]

if we ever get marmots they should be backfilled on askiy

[finite wagon]

Which of the Fat Rodents are your favorite

[sharp pike]

yellow belly marmot

[stray basalt]

Himalayan Golden Marmot and Groundhogs 🔛🔝

[finite wagon]

Thats a really good pick, Guinea pigs and the standard Groundhog are pretty hard to beat tho

And yes I know Guinea pigs arent even all that large

But they do have that Fat Rodent body type yk?

[boreal cove]

Is anyone's snow on the new map very bright,? Is it like a setting or what?

[uneven bloom]

I'm biased toward guinea pigs because I had one until April

[finite wagon]

I love guinea pigs, would 10/10 own a herd of them again

[sharp pike]

north american porcupines are cool too

good climbers

[finite wagon]

And next time i do, im gonna let them graze outside sometimes

[stray basalt]

The only lake I actively dislike on the map is one specific lake.

[finite wagon]

Mini lawn mowers

[uneven bloom]

just watch out for hawks and the like if you do that

they will not hesitate

[finite wagon]

Oh yea they'll be supervised

Im not gonna let them free roam

[obtuse vapor]

Can pop resets spawn a great one or does it count as an initial spawn?

[finite wagon]

Counts as initial

[stray basalt]

It’s heavily implied they removed initial spawn great ones a long time ago

[obtuse vapor]

So pop resets can’t spawn them?

[uneven bloom]

Nope

[finite wagon]

ykw?

im gonna do some realistic bowhunts

bugle in some elk, whammo them with the bow

just like id do irl

[obtuse vapor]

Thanks

[gusty umbra]

I kind of want a Texas map but other than exotics it gets kinda repetitive with other maps lol

[sharp pike]

deer

[sweet beacon]

Like what would be there in terms of exotics? Nilgai?

[gusty umbra]

We have a LOT of antelope

[untold latch]

Are dilute still rare? I’ve had 3 spawn within 70 kills and I’ve never had rare luck like this on a grind

[gusty umbra]

I hope they are but I'm not sure anybody is 100% certain

[sweet beacon]

Oh that’s crazy

Tahr in Texas would go hard

[gusty umbra]

It's expensive but hopefully I'll be able to go sometime

[pine lily]

how do they survive?

like genuine question

[grand jolt]

Is the mela pronghorn in here?

[gusty umbra]

Dead Tahr

[sharp pike]

why would you want to hunt a farm animal

[sweet beacon]

I’m assuming they’d be well adapted to the rocky hills and whatnot

[sharp pike]

https://www.oxhuntingranch.com/hunting/

[pine lily]

im mainly thinking the heat

[amber kiln]

Literally anything you can think of lol. Pretty much every single animal on the continent of Africa can be found in Texas on game ranches, and can be justified as ferals/escapes on a Texas map ingame

[pine lily]

if it has hooves it's in texas

[uneven bloom]

there's feral gemsbok in NM as well

[unique roost]

So a question about waterfowl: if I add decoys to a place in the map all the birds in the map have a chance on being attracted by my decoys or just birds in that region?

[pine lily]

3000 of them specifically

[uneven bloom]

introduced as game animals, proceeded to adapt too well

[pine lily]

theyre doing so well they need culled

[amber kiln]

Not all of them are like that. Some are a few hundred miles large and completely free range and don’t even get fed by people. But yeah I don’t see hunting in small ones where animals are penned up with practically nowhere to go

[pine lily]

and also the Aoudad

[sharp pike]

no like jacobs sheep

[pine lily]

which are vectors for ovine pneumonia

that kills bighorn rams

[amber kiln]

Ohh like that. Same deal as hunting feral pigs

[graceful glen]

Where is the most updated fur chart for Askiy??

[pine lily]

somewhere

😄

[digital quartz]

I live right next to a game ranch irl

[sweet beacon]

Dude the things I’d do to hunt a Hartebeest

[graceful glen]

WHEREEEE

[amber kiln]

There isn’t really one. Almost all are missing a lot of furs that have been found

[sweet beacon]

They’re so sick looking

[sharp pike]

fake dall sheep

[graceful glen]

👍👍

[stray basalt]

Very expensive to hunt

Obscenely expensive

[gusty umbra]

The prices are HIGH

[sweet beacon]

Well if it’s that expensive

I’ll stick to my whitetail

[stray basalt]

Because they look badass

[gusty umbra]

Red Stag are the low low price of 10k

[stray basalt]

Hartebeest are on the cheaper side for antelope hunting

It’ll still be like 2k in plane tickets alone though

[gusty umbra]

The goat/sheep are the cheapest here it seems

[amber kiln]

Sometimes it’s literally cheaper to just go to Africa and do a cull hunt for a species rather than go to a game ranch in the U.S.

That’s including airfare too

[gusty umbra]

I'd much prefer that option to be fair

I get to visit somewhere new and have a more respectful hunt

[stray basalt]

Ja

[amber kiln]

Plus you’d be feeding the villages around the outfitter too

[sharp pike]

chinese water deer, muntjac, roe deer, fallow, sika and red deer

[dim isle]

Does dusky grouse have a mela

[stray basalt]

I’m

[gusty umbra]

What on earth

[quartz horizon]

How do i start a g1 grind?

For mule deer

[gusty umbra]

Slaughter them

[quartz horizon]

Ik herd management is 3-5

[gusty umbra]

And large level twos

[vivid cosmos]

Set up tents and tripods 200m away from all the drinkzones then shoot all males bigger than a lvl 2

Then repeat

And repeat

And repeat

[quartz horizon]

Ok

[gusty umbra]

And you do it until you notice your deer are getting bigger

Then you KEEP doing it

[quartz horizon]

What if nothing spawns in

[vivid cosmos]

No GO or no Mule deer?

That means they moved to other zones

[quartz horizon]

Oh

[vivid cosmos]

Or that you don't have a GO

[quartz horizon]

Ok

[vivid cosmos]

You did mean if you don't find deer where you used to right?

[quartz horizon]

Yeah

[fiery ferry]

arround 16-20 dead beaver on one spott

[vivid cosmos]

That guy can troll

[quartz horizon]

Im hoping note

Not

[vivid cosmos]

I have one just the same

That I haven't shot yet

[quartz horizon]

So lets say i shoot him he trolls will he spawn back as a 5?

[weak smelt]

He can spawn back as anything

Could be another dime, or it could be a level one

[vivid cosmos]

Or a GO

Here's mine, it could troll

[weak smelt]

Probably will

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah good chance

Lower estimate is very low

[reef rover]

is the molting variant of the dusky grouse the rare plumage type?

[vivid cosmos]

Maybe it's uncommon

[reef rover]

whack, need the #1102702602757619753 to be a thing fr

[weak smelt]

I mean if it was a rare then you wouldn't see it everywhere

Context clues yknow

[unique roost]

hdagdagjdagh so many

[dreamy goblet]

They call him the snow geese butcher.

[unique roost]

Dog is working extra hard to retrieve all of them lol haha

[reef rover]

ok buddy

[weak smelt]

"Buddy"💔 🥀

[red violet]

the map is out for a day. we are not 100% sure yet what rares are on new animals. If you think it's rare, taxi it. If you hunt the animal again and you find the same color, then it might not be rare.

like every second dusky grouse I get, is molting . So my guess is, that it is a common variant

[scarlet bluff]

yeah

only rares for dusky are albino, leuc, and mela

[sleek viper]

The map is out

?

[red violet]

what?

[midnight valve]

Quite a lot of resorces that show rares have shared all of the datamined information now, so In techinal sense we do know them all.... well some folks that chose to look at it.

[red violet]

i go by what the wiki says. But the map has only been out for a day. It has not been updated yet, therefore, can't 100% say what the rares are

[midnight valve]

There's only one animal that has a rare variant that isnt obvious as far as I'm aware that hasnt been posted.

[weak smelt]

I mean

There's brown black bears

[slim osprey]

No new wolf rares?

[midnight valve]

yeah Its that similar vibe I havent seen a screenshot of it yet, Its not obvious in the slighest.

[weak smelt]

Nope

[weak smelt]

I really hope they redo black bear rares

[boreal eagle]

So what are the Alberta great ones?

[scarlet bluff]

the one for bison yeah?

[finite wagon]

Ringneck pheasant
Whitetail deer
Mule deer
Black bear
Moose

[boreal eagle]

Thank you

[dreamy goblet]

Totally forgot Pheasants are on this map 💀

Still looking for the caribous and them XD

[solid ravine]

Pheasant are on the map what

[dreamy goblet]

They are, yea..

[scarlet bluff]

no and for a species that was voted to get new furs only getting 1 new fur is pretty underwhelming

[brisk mauve]

What is woodland caribou drink time

[weak smelt]

20-00

[boreal eagle]

I do wish we got a elk great one or a beaver great one but oh well

[solid ravine]

Beaver g1 😂

[finite wagon]

I personally was wanting a great one wolf!

[solid ravine]

Same

[dreamy goblet]

Still angry at myself for messing up my diamond beaver cause I hit the spine on accident 😭

[solid ravine]

That's so rough

[boreal eagle]

Imagine

[boreal eagle]

That would have been amazing too

[boreal eagle]

I feel so bad for you

[red violet]

oooh. I hope I find it

dusky

[dreamy goblet]

Oooo

[solid ravine]

So mule deer got a population reset?

[dreamy goblet]

Yea.

[finite wagon]

Yup

[dreamy goblet]

The same thing that happened to every other G1 species when their G1 was launched^^

[solid ravine]

Just making sure.

[dreamy goblet]

Yea ofc, no worries.

[slim osprey]

The change log implies multiple new coats too

[desert tree]

482 ELK

[scarlet bluff]

there is new furs in a way from their remodel

but they only got 1 new fur type and then bighorn got like 3-4 for some reason

[red violet]

lost track of the albino grouse, but found this. Caribou

maybe I'm lucky

[dreamy goblet]

Jeez, you are lucky just finding those XD

[red violet]

my second animal I got on the map yesterday was a dia elk

and after that a dia grouse xD

[dreamy goblet]

Man I wish 😭

[trim sentinel]

What seems to be the map everyone is grinding mule deer on?

and is this map worth it

[red violet]

I play the game since 2017 and only got 12 dias. Imagine how happy I was yesterday

[dreamy goblet]

It deffinetly is. IMO its the best map in the game XD

[trim sentinel]

lmaooo

figured id buy it as a canadian myself but just wanted more opinions

[dreamy goblet]

Same here though XD

[dreamy goblet]

I mean, you can try it out in multiplayer see if you like it and all that.^^

[trim sentinel]

i tried it once I may try again

[scarlet bluff]

alberta because the zone layout is good

[trim sentinel]

gotcha gotcha

has anyone got one yet?

[red violet]

I mean, dias are cool. But I really like finding rare variants

[trim sentinel]

I havent seen any pics of them but i also am not overly active on here

Im so off and on with this game

I wanna grind moose but theyre so annoying to find in thier zones

[dreamy goblet]

Ooh, just found a 485 max estimate Level 4 Elk 👀

[scarlet bluff]

quite a few

[harsh olive]

If my Xbox crashes then I have to get a new one. Do I lose everything?

[weak drift]

are the beaver like water fowl with hunting pressure?

[trim sentinel]

Goodluck

[trim sentinel]

should be all through ur xbox account

[fiery ferry]

after my 100 beaverkills its seems that pressure isnt a thing for them

[red violet]

YES! What a pretty boy

[harsh olive]

Ok good I'm hoping it's just a power block. It's og Xbox one

[celest moat]

Is anyone doing a moose grind on the new map, if so how many zones do you need?

[weak drift]

Your game is saved to the cloud not the system. 🙂

[flat nimbus]

If the xbox is making a noise and blinking for a split second before going dead again, it's most likely the power block as I had the same issue and replacing the power block fixed it

[trim sentinel]

it should all just be through ur account youll be fine

hopefully it aint to expensive to fix or replace

[scarlet bluff]

they remind me of draft horses

[trim sentinel]

i play this on pc cause its much easier but i have a xbox series s

[harsh olive]

That's exactly what it did snake

[flat nimbus]

Alright then getting a new power block should fix it

[harsh olive]

The new block is 43$ with the tax

[mellow sundial]

Who ever needs help on getting zones join gc 3

[final depot]

👀

[gilded trail]

standing trophy again lol

[final depot]

🤡

[weak drift]

Same! Started on console release but finally got a "new" PC s couple years ago and wouldn't go back. Love Xbox and have some cool trophies though

[flat nimbus]

Unfortunate

Do they troll a lot by any chance?

[vivid cosmos]

Some

[flat nimbus]

K thanks

[vivid cosmos]

They only have 2 diamond rack

[flat nimbus]

Was just wondering if it was a kangaroo/feral goat situation

[flat nimbus]

Alright

[gilded trail]

sneaky ass moose's... one scared the crap out of me again by sneaking up at me to 20 meters..

[dreamy goblet]

NGL. The Black Bear are worse.

Somehow they always jumpscare me with their warning calls from like 50m away.

[harsh olive]

Just got new power block Xbox work!

[gilded trail]

that 1 spooked me before the moose lol

[flat nimbus]

Awesome man

[flat nimbus]

I got jumpscared by them
3 times today alone

[harsh olive]

I'm glad I don't need a new Xbox

[flat nimbus]

Fair enough they ain't cheap

[gilded trail]

yeah the bears are bad. just got spooked by 1 aswell 80meter lol

[violet prism]

is there info yet about what the rare furs are? are piebalds on ducks still uncommon or are they rare?

[placid oasis]

Where can I find the wood ducks?

[gilded trail]

he paid for it with his life

[violet prism]

also why is one of the pins in this channel a dude shotgunning a beer

[weak smelt]

Only piebalds that are common are mallards, harlequin, and cinnamon teal

[flat nimbus]

That is a damn good question

[long lintel]

Dude I am having awful luck with mule deer

I’m only finding small ones

[gilded trail]

i dont see it o.o

[flat nimbus]

It's the first video that pops up

[long lintel]

Like this drinking zone here only has one god damn mule deer

[gilded trail]

for me its a guy quickdrinking a can of beer

nvm

[violet prism]

...

[gilded trail]

was reading it as shotgunning a beer

xD

bear*

[flat nimbus]

Oh lol

[violet prism]

i was gonna say, maybe you dont know what shotgunning means lol

[gilded trail]

bear beer almost the same

[mystic sorrel]

Just got a diamond prong horn

[gilded trail]

both are deadly

[mystic sorrel]

Level 4 Diamond too wide rack

[trim sentinel]

not to bad

[long lintel]

Like this is pissing me off for the lack of mule deer I have seen

[trim sentinel]

Wish i could get my first diamonds on pc from my xbox even though it was just a mallard

[long lintel]

On this map

A LAKE THIS BIG SND THERES ONLY ONE MULE DEER

[eager patrol]

So they only added 1 new fur for grey wolves? That's kinda disappointing ngl

[gilded trail]

but the whole overhaul from their model is not

[eager patrol]

Oh for sure totally makes up for it

Best remodel imo

[coarse cloud]

How many muley zones are on askiy

[stiff hornet]

Like 50? Maybe.

[eager patrol]

I just knew they won the new fur type poll was hoping for an uncommon or two

[coarse cloud]

K
Thanks

[flat nimbus]

What was it

[eager patrol]

Brown

[flat nimbus]

It's common isn't it?

[midnight valve]

yeah I had too population reset my map was that bad for mule deer regarding solos in "good" areas.

[eager patrol]

Yeah unless its uncommon and I just happen to see a lot of them

[midnight valve]

That lake still isnt good, but at least I have 8 at that lake now.

[flat nimbus]

That's unfortunate

[long lintel]

Here’s the problem. I’m barely seeing any mule deer there.

[midnight valve]

PC? if not, population reset and see if your herds is better.

If not, go to another map seriously I would not of grinded my map with how terrible it was.

[long lintel]

I’m on PS5

[midnight valve]

And there's no way to "fix" it if the entire areas deer are all solos either 😔

[dim isle]

Dusky grouse doesn’t have a rare?

[long lintel]

Most of them are all solos which is bs

[eager patrol]

They have albino and leucistic iirc

[gilded trail]

not my image

[eager patrol]

Think thats what ive seen posted

[gilded trail]

its just what was shared yesterday

[midnight valve]

I could shoot 3-4 heavily wooded lakes on my map It was dreadful but at least with PC a population reset made it.. better somewhat.

[long lintel]

There’s no population reset for console is there

[eager patrol]

No

[midnight valve]

nope besides new game, what resets everything including level.

[long lintel]

That is bs dude

Absolute bs

That means I’m not gonna find any good mule deer

[eager patrol]

As a ps5 player im actually so glad we cant mess with files or anything. Never have to worry about modders

Now if only we could also get a photo mode like pc....

[long lintel]

One mule deer on a lake this big is absolute garbage

[eager patrol]

(Bad) luck of the draw my friend

[dim isle]

they should add a photo album or be able to frame photos in lodge

[long lintel]

They need to fix this

That is absolutely unacceptable

[river shard]

Anyone on pc and is willing to help me set up a mule deer grind

[harsh olive]

Is there really a difference between the Xbox One and the Xbox s series or whatever the new ones called

[oblique plinth]

can't you shoot the deer that's in the solo zone and a couple of does in other zones and hope a herd moves?

i think i've done something like that with my fallow before

[weak thicket]

Guys any good map/guide of where to put the tents for mule deer grind?

[sweet beacon]

Do Manitoban max level at 4 or 5?

[dim isle]

no snow deformation on Xbox one

[eager patrol]

5

No animals max is 4

[long lintel]

Like is my only option to do a new game?

[dim isle]

why?

[eager patrol]

Your mule deer are just at a different lake

[long lintel]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE

AND ITS ONLY ALL SOLO DRINKING ZONES

[dim isle]

are you towards the end of drink zone?

[long lintel]

NO

[dim isle]

drink time *

[harsh olive]

Any good frozen ponds for snow goose? That won't mess up a drink zone for mule deer

[dim isle]

Then look an hour before it ends

[long lintel]

IM AT 15:00

[dim isle]

What is their drink time

[long lintel]

15-18

[dim isle]

You’re going way too early

[eager patrol]

Gotta look at 1600

[dim isle]

Or 16:30 even

[weak smelt]

200m away from the zone

[eager patrol]

Not much will be there 15 on the dot

[long lintel]

Like bro no that is unacceptable that there is only one solo mule deer for a lake like yjst

They need to fix it

[dim isle]

their drink times include travel times which mean they are going to take time to show up to the lakes

[oblique plinth]

just break a few of your zones and see if you can get the herds to move

[long lintel]

YOU DONT THINK IM TRYING TJAT?!

IBE TRIED RVERYTHING

[oblique plinth]

okay man i'm just trying to help

[long lintel]

AND ITS ALL SOLOS

[oblique plinth]

don't spam caps at me

[dim isle]

As we are trying to tell you check that same lake at 17:00

[eager patrol]

Dont think it's that deep bro just go elsewhere

[midnight valve]

If the home range of that mule deer population only has solos, your screwed.

[dim isle]

They should definitely be there by then if they have a zone there

[dim isle]

He’s checking at 15:00, exactly when drink time starts

[midnight valve]

Every lake in that area had solo herds for me, you cant delete zones to get a herd to appear most you can do is move your solos who bounce anyways after being shot bc there solos.

[dim isle]

Of course he’s not gonna find anything

[midnight valve]

But yes that could be an issue too.

[eager patrol]

Sometimes you just get unlucky spawns 🤷

[still pond]

Is it just me and homie or are bears overly loud with their calls compared to everything else?

[long lintel]

As I’m complaining

I find a level 5 mule deer

[carmine creek]

literally. i got really unlucky with my zones on askiy so i moved to rancho, having much better luck here

[still pond]

getting jumpscared by these bears

[long lintel]

And it’s a troll…

It’s another troll…

[still pond]

oh that is beautiful though

[umbral pike]

Not hating but thinking that mulie wouldn’t troll kinda crazy

[coarse cloud]

I keep finding solo female mule zones is that normal

[carmine creek]

yes

[carmine creek]

in their defense maybe they don't hunt mulies a lot. i don't and i have no idea what rack is a troll rack lol

[unique roost]

Eye in the trunk

[coarse cloud]

I haven't found a single herd zone yet lol

[quartz horizon]

I found all my zones for mule deer now do i start herd management?

Dose herd management count toawrds g1 kills?

[long lintel]

Can animals that are lower levels grow cuz of the need zones?

[eager patrol]

Animals dont grow

[carmine creek]

animals will always stay the same lvl/score

[long lintel]

Man that’s a feature that’s needed

[eager patrol]

Nah

[split otter]

boy oh boy do we have a game for you then

[long lintel]

Nah man that would be cool

[eager patrol]

Way of the hunter has it

Go try that

[long lintel]

I don’t like WOTH

Well no that’s a lie

I do

But I don’t play it a lot

[unique roost]

Something is missing in WOTH, I love it too but I love COTW more

[long lintel]

WOTH is really fun it really is

[split otter]

A lot more of worth gets poured into COTW

[snow sun]

Are the Mule deer trolling a lot?

[long lintel]

Ok so I just found the holy mule deer drinking zone at a small lake

And yes

[snow sun]

Caribou level of trolling or Hog Deer? lol

[unique roost]

I like the colours of COTW more... the maps are more dreamy even if some of them are really outdated now, WOTH is realistic but loses a bit of the dreamy charm. Though their Africa map is much better than Vurhonga

[rough tree]

I definitely agree with this. I love both WotH and CotW, but CotW absolutely crushes the competition when it comes to aesthetics and map design

[sweet beacon]

I feel like a French fur trapper

I just keep popping beavers

Best map ever

[snow sun]

I've not played WoTH.

I can't forgive them about spotted hyenas.

[eager patrol]

It takes some time to get used to but i love woth

Just hate tracking time passing

[snow sun]

And the fact they only consider male genetics whilst having a genetics based trophy system..

Although, a bit low-level genetics system.

[rough tree]

I mean, it is very simplified for the sake of being a video game

[snow sun]

Yeah, very overly simplified.

[rough tree]

if they made the genetics system as complex as herd genetics are irl it would be an absolute pain to manage

I'm all for realism in games, but you have to make sacrifices for the sake of making a playable game

[stray basalt]

Caught me off guard! Didn’t even check the level

[snow sun]

I'm not saying it is a horrid decision, just touting genetics and herd management and not considering (at all) the herd genetics off-trophy animals play.

[rough tree]

I don't really see how that's a massive problem tbh

[weak drift]

Saaammmeee I have an albino mountain goat

[snow sun]

Did I say it was? lol

[rough tree]

it did seem implied that you found it to be a pretty substantial problem lol

[pine lily]

bois whats the opinions on Askiy, im loving it

the map has aura

it's godly

[rough tree]

i'm absolutely loving it so far

[snow sun]

My grouse are dead-heads I can pretty much step all over them.

[pine lily]

the mountains bruh

[rough tree]

I just wish I could find more bighorn rams lmao

[weak drift]

The jump scares must have been planned by EW 😂 oh enjoying the amazing map? Nope jump scare so bad you pewp your pants

[snow sun]

The mountains are nowhere near as bad as Sudar though.

[pine lily]

duskies are kinda like that IRL, except they just sit still in the trees

[rough tree]

i came here for bighorn sheep and all ya girl can find are just "horn sheep" lol

[snow sun]

The wolves seem crazier though.

[eager patrol]

Might be my fave map. Topped medved. Some of my fav animals on the map and it gave me my first SR. Early mornings are stunning

[still pond]

was gonna make a post in the support forum for it cause i cannot imagine its supposed to be that loud even at 200 meters

[pine lily]

to me it seems theyre less common

[snow sun]

The Bears are terrible.

[pine lily]

and less violent

[eager patrol]

Bears need to be quieter but other than that it's wonderful

[pine lily]

wym

the loudness

[snow sun]

I found 3 zones.. all 3 zones went murder-y

So I blew out all 3 zones I found. lol

[weak smelt]

ain't even played it and i know it's peak

[rough tree]

i agree. At close range I don't mind the volume, but they're loud even across a lake

[muted lintel]

How i found mountain goat i nteh alberta?

[snow sun]

I've yet to see a caribou.. I can't find them.

[limber cliff]

The bears are just letting you know

[eager patrol]

Top left

[pine lily]

mf bears got ultrasonic calls

[limber cliff]

that they exist

[pine lily]

top right of the map, in the deep boreal forest

[eager patrol]

North west

[pine lily]

very elusive

[still pond]

intentional volume though?

[snow sun]

Or wood ducks to be fair.

[eager patrol]

Caribou also drink at night in alberta

[still pond]

cause them things be loud

[limber cliff]

Each bear comes equipped with a megaphone

Canada is large afterall

they gotta reach their neighbors

[still pond]

[limber cliff]

[snow sun]

They get a cussing from me.

[eager patrol]

Do beavers care about hunting pressure? Blew out a zone hunting them from underwater wanna know if they're like predators/ducks since they only have so many spawn areas

[eager patrol]

They drink from 20-0

[split otter]

It seems Moose got a bit of hoarse grunt added as well.

Never find moose without bear around

[rough tree]

as far as I can tell, moose make the same sounds as before, just in a different audio quality

still just red deer and brown bear calls for some reason

[snow sun]

I've heard what I thought was a new moose warning call.

[rough tree]

boop

[split otter]

WOT

[rough tree]

i'm very passionate about moose and it bugs me so much to hear them making the wrong sounds in-game lol

[snow sun]

White tails also area jump scare too.

are a*

Wow.. grammar fell over and died there.

[rough tree]

the way they sound doesn't impact the game itself and I love hunting them, but man I wish they actually sounded like moose

[split otter]

Creative license.

[uneven bloom]

yeah bear calls have a case of "sound much closer than they appear"

[snow sun]

Female elk bugling... correct word??? also dosn't make sense.

[uneven bloom]

that's a bug

[snow sun]

Yeah, it bothers me that you get the warning call and they're 140 away.. lol

[rough tree]

sometimes they do bugle irl, but it's much raspier than the one they're doing in-game

Elk calls as a whole need work since cows are doing bull bugles and bulls are making cow sounds as warning calls

[snow sun]

but they sound like they're breathing down your neck.

[rough tree]

iirc elk actually make a distinct warning "bark" irl

[uneven bloom]

again, the elk calls being switched is a bug

[rough tree]

ye I saw

[uneven bloom]

the more reports there are on it, the sooner it'll be fixed

[snow sun]

On PS5 the pig species are also mixed.. the call says, "mating call," but it is the warning call.

Call indicator* to clarify.

So I get Mating call then fleeing. lol

[uneven bloom]

yeah that's been a bug since...I started playing, I think

[lone forge]

Guys need some dusky grouse sdvice

[snow sun]

Yeah, it has been a bit.

Just walk around.. they make plenty of noise.

It takes a bit to find males for me though.

I think I encounter 3 females to every 1 male..

[lone forge]

I'm deaf

[eager patrol]

Go to wooded areas top 2/3 of map and follow all the trails. I've seen tons of max weight grouse tracks in the woods

[snow sun]

Yeah, the top sections of the map, you can spot them easier.

[eager patrol]

Max is 1.60 so follow all of those

[lone forge]

I'll try that

I think I've been to montane for em

I've just got like a few

[eager patrol]

If you hear your phone vibrating...its probably a grouse

[lone forge]

But not a bunch

[lone forge]

I don't hear
