[warped pebble]

thats probably one of the remodels

[weak smelt]

Red grouse might be the best animal on the map if it is there

[austere wigeon]

Mink

[potent quartz]

Ok

[agile cradle]

SCOTLAND ARE BACK IN FRONT WE ARE BACK IN THE WORLD CUP FINALS

GUYS SCOTLAND MAP AND SCOTLAND WORLD CUP IN ONE DAY?

[warped pebble]

why does this clip from the trailer look like minecraft with advanced shaders 😭

[austere wigeon]

Scotland… forever… 🥹

[modest crescent]

Some fun other species we might be getting

Ptarmigan
Woodcock
Moorhen
Red x Sika Hybrids (unlikely, but it is actually an issue in Scotland)
Chinese Water Deer
Reeves Muntjac
Pine Marten

[oblique plinth]

wait i need to look into these red x sika hybrids

[austere wigeon]

I want woodcock just for Nem backfill

[agile cradle]

i met a game keeper in a bar who was being bothered by the hybrids and called them Rikas. hadnt a clue what he was on about for at least an hour

[modest crescent]

Dude it's crazy! They're fertile and everything.

It's happening in Ireland too

[oblique plinth]

ooooof that's not good

[half rapids]

Kinda made me think of basalt formations like those at the Giant's Causeway in Antrim, Northern Ireland

[brisk mauve]

The rocks look like that from volcanic activity

[warped pebble]

all I see is a minecraft cave when I look at it lmao

[scarlet bluff]

they kinda look like mini sambar

[modest crescent]

Fun fact, the invasive Sika deer in Ireland and in Maryland both come from the same introduced population in the UK.

[oblique plinth]

yeah looking at pictures of them it's quite bizarre

[modest crescent]

Apparently they taste pretty good

[austere wigeon]

They can swim?

[oblique plinth]

my brain can't make sense of what kind of deer i'm looking at

[half rapids]

Ive heard we have reeves muntjac like the UK as well

[oblique plinth]

really cool but a hybrid invasive species capable of breeding just spells trouble

i'd still like to see more hybrids other than waterfowl get introduced to cotw

[modest crescent]

It's like Uncanny Valley but for deer😂

[oblique plinth]

maybe slightly more common than great ones

[oblique plinth]

exactly!! it's trippy

[opal vortex]

hey guys, are you sure this is the american mink? looks different from the one on the screenshot, looks like a pine marten

[brisk mauve]

A lot

[stiff hornet]

Idk, pine martens are generally not Semi-Aquatic animals.

[opal vortex]

but american minks are?

[oblique plinth]

i think what might be throwing everyone off is either different mink colours having different fur lengths- which we've seen them do before

[stiff hornet]

Yes, American minks are notorious fish eaters and they usually live and hunt near water.

[oblique plinth]

or the footage of the creature in the river was taken before the minks were properly rendered out

[modest crescent]

Yeah, they are threatening the natural Red genetics.

Especially when you look at how prolific Sika are. In Ireland they are the most common out of all 3 deer species.

[oblique plinth]

i doubt that's the case but sometimes things slip past creative teams on their way to publishing

a lot of times game footage is being rendered out and thrown into a file for editing as it comes

[austere wigeon]

Mink put the aquatic in semi-aquatic

[opal vortex]

so like 99% sure its an american mink with different fur type?

[oblique plinth]

could be. maybe the black ones are fluffier and the brown ones have a shorter fur

like with the great one bears or the yaks having different fur lengths

[stiff hornet]

It’s 100% a mink. That doesn’t mean that Martens aren’t coming, seeing as Vivi did say that there is a 3rd Mustelid coming, and the official IG account confirmed it’s not Otters, so that basically means it’s either a Marten or a Stoat.

[modest crescent]

Yeah, I know it's a longshot but I think it would be cool.

Especially because they could make a questline out of it. Deer management is big in Scotland.

[quiet mantle]

Wait when is the upd gon release again?

[opal vortex]

and do you have any guesses about the 3 new species that haven t been revealed yet?

[stiff hornet]

Allegedly Dec. 9th.

[quiet mantle]

Okayokay

[oblique plinth]

yeah, a hybrid as a mission animal would be really interesting!

[quiet mantle]

Cant wait

[stiff hornet]

I’m thinking Pine Marten, Red Grouse, and hopefully Garganey because I love them

[opal vortex]

3 mustelid is very cool

[modest crescent]

I would say woodcock is more likely, but Garganey would be cool

[scarlet bluff]

mandarin duck could be neat

[grand jetty]

Anybody got pics of the new red deer?

[stiff hornet]

You’re probably right but I love Garganey so I’m holding out hope

[scarlet bluff]

i feel like it'll be 1 new waterfowl and then 1 new upland bird

[verbal peak]

Yep

[plucky forge]

so we have 3 unknown new animals?

[split agate]

on the Scottish side (on Staffa) is Fingal's Cave

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingal's_Cave

[hollow tundra]

SCOTLAND FOREVER

map actually looks so good

[plucky forge]

Can someone send me list of animals for new map

[half rapids]

Fingals Cave looks very similar to the one in the trailer. Looks gorgeous

[plucky forge]

???

[woven depot]

I think its on steam

Theres a badger and a mink thats nee

And like 5 new species in total

And 3 remodels, red deer remodeled confirmed

People are thinking roe deer and another deer species being remodeled

[plucky forge]

nope

i mean whole list

[woven depot]

Oh

A badger and a mink

They dont tell u all 5 we only got 2 so far

[plucky forge]

yea yea but not only new

[woven depot]

Oh all 16?

[plucky forge]

[woven depot]

Check out lady’s video

Ladylegend

[plucky forge]

i think they will add capercaillie whay yall think

[agile cradle]

SCOTLAND ARE OFF TO THE WORLD CUP THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL GAME OF FOOTBALL

[agile cradle]

yes its one of our 4 famous birds

it'd be silly not to

[woven depot]

Well, so far we got feral goat, red deer, mink and badger,

[plucky forge]

well i will create list on my own

[woven depot]

If they dont tell u then ehh idk they prolly wont

[woven depot]

Yes u should

[scarlet bluff]

safe to assume roe and boar as well since they're getting remodeled

[woven depot]

Are they really?

[scarlet bluff]

yes

[woven depot]

Thats cool

[scarlet bluff]

we've seen them from the feeder dlc trailer and pictures

[woven depot]

Imagine irish elk as g1 lol

[scarlet bluff]

well there's fallow with irish elk rack

[woven depot]

Yeah

[scarlet bluff]

boar is middle left

[modest crescent]

Is it worth it. I find her videos too focussed on grinding

[agile cradle]

WE'VE GOT MCLEAN SUPER KENNY MCLEAN I JUST DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND, HES STEVEY CLARKEYS MAN, HES BETTER THAN ZIDANE, WE'VE GOT SUPER KENNY MCLEAN🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[agile cradle]

SCOTLAND MAP AND SCOTLAND INSTANT QUALIFICATION TO THE WORLD CUP IN ONE DAY

okay im done

so whats everyone think about scotland map

[austere wigeon]

Very good

[oblique plinth]

i'm so hyped for those landscapes

the coasts!! the forests!!

[radiant wren]

Those paws? That face? That pouch? Thassa mink

[oblique plinth]

and badger hunting

i'm also keeping my fingers crossed for new red deer GO furs

but we're guaranteed a new GO anyway so im not gonna complain too much

but it would be a missed opportunity 👀

[radiant wren]

We are, it’s on the website post for it

[bleak ether]

Is the Red Grouse confirmed in the Scotland reserve?

[oblique plinth]

yeah, i know

[radiant wren]

Only what we’ve seen is confirmed

[oblique plinth]

but we're not guaranteed the new red deer furs

[verbal peak]

Really???!!!

Sorry

[radiant wren]

My bad broski I misread the lines lol 🥹🙏🏻 skmetimes I wonder if I’m dyslexic lmao

[radiant wren]

Seems simple but people really out here asking ish lol

Literally nothing else is confirmed lol

Just speculation

[oblique plinth]

no no worries man i'm a little 🍃 right now so i wouldn't be surprised if i was incoherent

[radiant wren]

Felt. You are 100% good though lol cheers 🥳

I can’t wait to smoke those badgers with the 22h

[oblique plinth]

yessss badgers

i need a lodge full of them

with the brand new plaques and platforms too

i can't wait for that

[hollow tundra]

I'm just PLEADING they add more G1 Red Deer variants

[oblique plinth]

can you imagine how gorgeous a new red deer GO would look in those forests

like an actual fabled beast

[agile cradle]

agree, also im in tears my country is going to the world cup and the map is scotland WHAT THE FRICK is going on my country is usually not this happy

[plucky forge]

1 Red Dear
2 Feral Goat
3 American Mink !NEW!
4 European Badger !NEW!
5 [P] Capercaillie
6 [P] Black Grouse
7 [P] Wild Boar
8 [P] Beaver
9 [P] Red Fox
10 [P] Roe Deer
11 [P] Pheasant

13 [P] Sika deer
14 [P] hazel grouse
15 [P] Goldeneye
16 [P] ??? (Wild cat)
17 [P] ???(
Highland cattle)

[oblique plinth]

i havent hunted for red deer in ages but i might have to start a grind in scotland

[idle void]

Nah

I’m hoping woodcock and red grouse and maybe northern shoveler

But the best prediction is

[oak raft]

id love highland cattle that would make up for there being few new animals

[idle void]

Red grouse (or wood pigeon)
Woodcock
Reeves muntjac
European badger
American mink

[plucky forge]

[P] = prediction

[oak raft]

or muntjac

[austere wigeon]

World Cup very very peak

[weak smelt]

Roe and wild boar are basically confirmed

[plucky forge]

where

[oak raft]

indeed

[oak raft]

re works

[weak smelt]

Both are getting remodels so most likely

[plucky forge]

ohh ye

[delicate peak]

i have to disagree a lot with highland cattle

[plucky forge]

anyways i would LOVEEE to see highland cattle

[plucky forge]

why

is it protected or smth?

if yes mb , but still they added protected animal

[tawdry juniper]

Was there not an otter in the trailer or did i mistake something

[delicate peak]

its the equivalent to hunting mustangs, just not really something you hunt

[delicate peak]

devs said no otter

[radiant wren]

Twas a mink

[verbal peak]

My prediction

Class 6:

Red Deer (Remastered)

Class 5:

Wild Boar (Remastered

Class 4:

Sika Deer

Class 3:

Roe Deer (Remastered)
Feral Goat

Class 2:

European Badger (New)
Red Fox

Class 1:

American Mink (New)
Pine Marten (New)
Woodcock (New)
Red Grouse (New)
Black Grouse
Western Capercaille
Euro Rabbit
Gadwall
Greylag Goose
Tufted Duck

[plucky forge]

idk it didnt look like an otter for me

[tawdry juniper]

Okay cool. More birds for me potentially

[radiant wren]

Yes! There should be

[oblique plinth]

speak for yourself, i'd love to hunt mustangs

[livid patio]

That's what I think also, half mustela half birds

[oblique plinth]

in game anyway

[opal vortex]

fallow deer

[oblique plinth]

can you imagine the herds

[tawdry juniper]

woodcock

[idle void]

Wild cat will not be here

[livid patio]

forealism

[idle void]

It has some sort of endangerment or something

[plucky forge]

i think its rarer here , i heard its local

[oblique plinth]

theyre super endangered but if we can hunt snow leopards then i dont see why not

[modest crescent]

Just had a thought. Would be cool if the got Megan Rowland involved like they did Remi Warren

[tawdry juniper]

Snow leopards are not even nearly as endangered as scottish wildcats

Snow leopard numbers are on the come-up as well

[oblique plinth]

no i know, they're super threatened

but it had been said before that they would never add endangered species

i think at this point anything's possible

[agile cradle]

and so do snow leopards and tigers

[oblique plinth]

except maybe unicorns

[opal vortex]

beavers maybe?

[amber solstice]

When they remaster the red deer g1 will the populations/herds reset?

[tawdry juniper]

I feel like if theres 25 of an animal left theyre probably not going to add them. Would be in poor taste

[idle void]

Maybe

[oblique plinth]

vivi says probably not

[stiff hornet]

Well we know there’s Eurasian Badger and American Mink, as well as another Mustelid (likely Pine Marten). That leaves 2 spots of either new birds (of which I feel Red Grouse are a necessity).

[idle void]

I hope g1 roe

[agile cradle]

i really hope they make a map with just all endangereds so people can stop barking this point

[tawdry juniper]

I guess we’ll see

[plucky forge]

MY prediction for NEW SCOTTISH MAP

1 Red Dear
2 Tiger
3 American Mink !NEW!
4 European Badger !NEW!
5 [P] Capercaillie
6 [P] Black Grouse
7 [P] Wild Boar
8 [P] Beaver
9 [P] Red Fox
10 [P] karen
11 [P] Pheasant
12 [P] European hare
13 [P] kangaroo
14 [P] hazel grouse
15 [P] Crocodille
16 [P] ??? (Wild cat)
17 [P] ???(
Highland cattle)

[modest crescent]

I doubt it. They were literally hunted to extinction and had to be reintroduced

[amber solstice]

Ty

[agile cradle]

i think they'd taste pretty nicely tbh

[stiff hornet]

Is it confirmed that they’re remastering the G1 red deer?

[plucky forge]

i think no . they said there will be new g1

[tawdry juniper]

I think small predators taste like shi

[agile cradle]

just the red model afaik

[plucky forge]

maybe they would inform us about remaster g1

[stiff hornet]

Ok that’s what I thought

[agile cradle]

i jus want to shoot one

in game

obviously

[tawdry juniper]

Nice save

[idle void]

My prediction for Scotland map

American alligator
Unicorn
Polar bear
Earthworm
Western dragon
Red deer
River prawn
Giant salamander
Kemp ridely sea turtle
Vaquita

Is this accurate

[stiff hornet]

Also, seeing as you’re our resident Scotsman, do you have know what Tòrr nan Sìthean means? I’ve been trying to look it up but I can’t find anything.

[tawdry juniper]

Vaquita 😭😭😭❤️‍🩹

[plucky forge]

its not accurate bc i dont see lices

[agile cradle]

Fairy's Tower

[stiff hornet]

Ooh cool

[plucky forge]

and whats red deer doin here bro

[delicate peak]

am i remembering incorrectly or are martins really good climbers?

[idle void]

Invasive species

[stiff hornet]

Also those cliffs look amazing. Genuinely look like coastal cliffs for the first time in the game.

[oblique plinth]

apt name tbh it definitely looks like fairies live there

[stiff hornet]

Martens are insanely good climbers

[agile cradle]

i'm not actually trained at all in gaelic so i did sort of just skim threads online

[vivid cosmos]

Am I a diamond yet?

Nope

[opal vortex]

1 Red Dear
2 red grouse
3 American Mink
4 European Badger
5 3th mustelid ??
6 euro hare
7 fallow deer
8 wild boar
9 feral goat
10 capercaillie
11 red fox
12 mallard
13 roe deer
14 pheasant
15 hazel grouse
16 sika deer
17 new specie (???)

[stiff hornet]

Nah but you’re gold

[idle void]

This is bad

[idle void]

This is more accurate

[opal vortex]

I forgot the lions

[plucky forge]

you forgot pegasus

[idle void]

Yup

[vivid cosmos]

Gotta be gotta be Golden

[agile cradle]

it can also possibly be Hill of the Fairies or Mound of the Fairies

[idle void]

BAN HIM

[vivid cosmos]

Lol

U just a Hater

[stiff hornet]

Either way, the names badass

[opal vortex]

maybe black bear, white tail and moose?

[idle void]

IMA BE YOUR IDOL

[idle void]

I could see it

[plucky forge]

NAh but actually they should add UNICORNS bc its symbol of scotland so

[delicate peak]

well if pine martins are added, they might add climbing and if they implement climbing animals maybe squirrels will be added

[idle void]

Maybe the Nike crocodile

[stiff hornet]

Watch that be the mission animal lmao

[agile cradle]

indeed

[plucky forge]

and g1 unicorns would poo with rainbow

[stiff hornet]

Genuinely the only reason I’d want squirrels is to shut people up about adding squirrels.

[opal vortex]

dont forget bigfoot

[oblique plinth]

guys new go leaked

[stiff hornet]

I don’t like those stupid little tree rats

[open crag]

The Western dragon is a continental species, only found across mainland Western Europe. The Welsh dragon is the dominant species across the British Isles. I thought this was common knowledge…

[plucky forge]

They should add squirrels

[tawdry juniper]

NEW 12G?

👀

[delicate peak]

i dont care much for squirrels but there is a potential connection

[radiant wren]

They should add squirrels 😍

[stiff hornet]

Yep, 12Ga Semi

[plucky forge]

YES twelve new great ones

[plucky forge]

i agree

SQUIRRELS would hype this game 😍 and change everything to better

[opal vortex]

next map dlc in middle east with lots of goats and the new automatic rifle ak 47

[oblique plinth]

we have a lot of melanistic squirrels in my neighbourhood. love a couple in my lodge

montreal map when??

[finite gate]

hopefully not soon im tired of na

[radiant wren]

I’d bet $100 they’re just black squirrels

[stiff hornet]

Tbh as long as it’s not an Africa map I’m happy

[oblique plinth]

i mean maybe they are LOL

i just thought they were mela

[plucky forge]

nah theyre just fried

[scarlet bluff]

lot where i'm at too some of them even have orange tails

[radiant wren]

They likely are, black squirrels are actually quite common in some areas. Same with white ones
Melanism is a specific genetic mutation, different than just having black fur

[plucky forge]

cute eagles

[finite gate]

why so every time i think i hear a deer its a gd squirrel

[radiant wren]

They’re definite cuties though and should be in game so we can blast em 👹

[finite gate]

crazy take

[oblique plinth]

interesting! here i always thought they were just mela greys

[radiant wren]

Brother what squirrels and deer are you listening to 😭

[oblique plinth]

but i guess it makes sense, they're not as fluffy as the other greys

[scarlet bluff]

i imagine it won't be long before they actually end up getting added

[plucky forge]

G1 squirell

[radiant wren]

I hope so. Supposedly people say devs have been vocal about not adding them for specific reasons but 1) I don’t know how true that is, haven’t seen it myself and 2) we were told that for many other things including tahr/tigers… I sure hope it happens eventually 🥹🫶🏻

[finite gate]

personally i want another Asia map

[delicate peak]

they're in fact mela squirrels, black squirrels arent even a species but just gray squirrels with melanism

the more you know

[molten pond]

or other species of squirrel with melanism

[tawdry juniper]

West/central asia

[oblique plinth]

so they ARE mela squirrels?

[delicate peak]

that too

[delicate peak]

yea

[oblique plinth]

okay cool

i impressed my dad so much by telling him about melanism

would hate to have been wrong

[delicate peak]

probably just common because they thrive in that area

[finite gate]

yeh ive never heard of black squirrels

[oblique plinth]

oh yeah the squirrels do well here

[molten pond]

I ocassionally see mela fox squirrels where I am

[plucky forge]

NEW BLACK BEAR G1 REVAMP LEAKS LEAKS LEAKS

[oblique plinth]

you shouldve seen peoples jack o lanterns this year

they'd put them out on their porches and the squirrels turned them into horrifying zombie pumpkins

[delicate peak]

yea they too have been documented with it

[oblique plinth]

other things i'd hunt in a montreal map;

pigeons
rats

[jaunty trail]

My workplace has a bunch of jet black rabbits in the local population, I'm not sure if melanistic or just some domestic genes

[jade thicket]

i already killed one 😁

[oblique plinth]

raccoons (GO species)

[vivid cosmos]

Rat

[delicate peak]

new ui is looking crazy

[plucky forge]

no its squirell g1 leaks

[vivid cosmos]

New lol

[jade thicket]

haha thats the old game when it first came out lol

[vivid cosmos]

Looks like the Alpha UI

[valid sage]

This looks like it's gonna be good honestly.

[vivid cosmos]

Lmao

[plucky forge]

thats bronze

[finite gate]

mod 100% right?

[jade thicket]

no they were in game for a while

[molten pond]

so what are people expecting for the other three species?

[plucky forge]

real idgf if its 100$ i would buy it anyways

[weak smelt]

Northern shoveler

[vivid cosmos]

Nah he's just an OG in The Hunter, he was an OG in Classic as well lol

[valid sage]

Are the species confirmed?

[radiant wren]

So I just refreshed my brain on this and actually- you were right- they are actually melanistic! The black squirrels are actually greys with melanism. Theyre more common in certain regions than others, and their population can overwhelm the grey greys now although in the past they were out numbered by them 🥹🩷🩷

[delicate peak]

forgot about squirrels being an ambience animal for awhile

[plucky forge]

Oh

[frank skiff]

wait did you get early access?

[jade thicket]

yeah they were in for a short while up until just after medved was launched

[jade thicket]

that was pre release

[plucky forge]

you didnt know

[radiant wren]

No no I’m the wrong one here lol I could have sworn that was the case from my previous reading. I believe I got them confused with another species with the same trait. Basically some had melanism and they just bred like crazy to overtake the local populations. You were right bahahaha not dumb at all

[frank skiff]

im confused 😭

[limber cliff]

thats a squirrel from almost a decade ago

[frank skiff]

oh

[limber cliff]

not any of the new animals

[frank skiff]

i didnt even know squirrels were in the game

[radiant wren]

Used to be. Not anymore

[frank skiff]

ohhh

[limber cliff]

tmk the team has not given anyone early access as of yet

[vivid cosmos]

The more I read the list the worst it gets lol

[austere wigeon]

What is a squirrel? Also hi Tyk

[molten pond]

imagine if they added the puffin

[limber cliff]

hey boo

[limber cliff]

tiny rage floofs

[jade thicket]

for before game was released to public

[delicate peak]

rat but tree

[jade thicket]

but they were in up until just after medved launched

[austere wigeon]

I see I see

[finite gate]

[valid sage]

Badgers are confirmed?

[tawdry juniper]

[tawdry juniper]

I'm dumb I didn't see the BADGER emoji next to the name of the channel 💔

[tawdry juniper]

The official website

[radiant wren]

This is my biggest issue making a suggestion post. It feels wrong to not represent all types but truthfully we’d likely have to stick with just greys or something. 😭

[oblique plinth]

they are so CUTE

[valid sage]

AWWWW

[frank skiff]

any of teh dog dlcs shld bark whenever squirrels are nearby, would be hilarious

[dusky wolf]

No I meant as in it might be a wild hog feral pig situation

WEll firstly i though that was giraffe but that was little mistake

[molten pond]

now that you mention it, I think you're right. No way they would add a red hartebeest

[oblique plinth]

wonder if there will be any fairy circles in the woods

[delicate peak]

yea red hartebeest is just so unwanted

no one likes it

[oblique plinth]

so we'll have badger badger badger mushroom mushroom

[hushed willow]

Cattle

[plucky forge]

yea and amors

[valid sage]

And the rock looks like a Mink too.

[glacial flame]

The croc and kangaroo are jokes right?

[hushed willow]

There’s really gonna be a tiger

[plucky forge]

they are common in scooterland

[delicate peak]

forgetting snow leopards

[willow crater]

yes they are common in Scotland

[plucky forge]

its too cold for them

[finite gate]

and elephants

[glacial flame]

I was just checking because holy the species some people think we have is wild

[molten pond]

so far, I think red deer, European Badger, American Mink, Wild Boar, and Feral Goat have been confirmed

[delicate peak]

you are so right

[valid sage]

We're getting 13 baboons

[oblique plinth]

the zoos in scotland are really bad with securing their exhibits

[valid sage]

Only 13

[oblique plinth]

now the wild tiger population is getting out of hand

[finite gate]

roe too right?

[delicate peak]

13 in a trench coat

[valid sage]

Do you think cougars could be possible?

Idk but

[delicate peak]

roe is soft confirmed

[valid sage]

They just LOOK scottish

[plucky forge]

no , skunks would scare them

[valid sage]

Fair

[verbal peak]

Apparently Torr nan Sithean means ‘the fairies crowd’ in Gaelic

[hushed willow]

I did not know tigers were found in the u.k.

[valid sage]

Only 4 confirmed Actually though right?

[valid sage]

G1 FAIRY

!!!

HUGE

[frank skiff]

tiger?

[plucky forge]

now you know

[molten pond]

was that confirmed or is everyone just expecting it because scotland

[willow crater]

they are found only in Scotland

[glacial flame]

Roe have to be

Like

[plucky forge]

never heard of scotish tiger/

[oblique plinth]

who would be afraid of these lil stinkers

[glacial flame]

If they’re not it would be so weird

[valid sage]

Honestly

[finite gate]

think they gota remodel i could be wwrong tho

[glacial flame]

Like Scotland without roe…?

[valid sage]

Wouldn't mind

[hushed willow]

It’s not a real tiger it looks like a bobcat

[frank skiff]

nope 😭

[plucky forge]

scotish skunks are cuter

[oblique plinth]

plus they are mustelids right? so skunk is a possibility now

[oblique plinth]

stop this

[frank skiff]

in the trailer is it an otter or a mink?

[willow crater]

no there will be a tiger in the new Scotland reserve

[oblique plinth]

that's enough discord for one night

[glacial flame]

Mink

[plucky forge]

crocodile

[willow crater]

yes this too

[radiant wren]

It was serious until someone mentioned a ridiculous list of animals. It’s been devolving from there ever since lol

[frank skiff]

id love to see a hearon and highland cow

[glacial flame]

Thank god

[finite gate]

tbf we were trolling

[delicate peak]

what is with people and highland cows

[willow crater]

you can find crocodiles quite often on the coastlines of Scotland

[plucky forge]

i hope they will add Chihuahua Great ones for next update

[hushed willow]

Like a Siberian tiger

[plucky forge]

yea i have seen some yesterday

[frank skiff]

they been one of my favourite animals since i was 3 and idk why

[delicate peak]

shooting livestock is popular i guess

[molten pond]

I think next great one will be Wild Boar

[glacial flame]

I agree

Or roe

[radiant wren]

Sure hope so

[finite gate]

sounds good to me

[frank skiff]

i was hoping for a great one rabbit tbh, theyre the only things i can hit

[willow crater]

different kind of tiger but they are very similar

[plucky forge]

idk i just like their fleas

[hushed willow]

They should add a map based in china with polar bear and stuff

[delicate peak]

their fleas?

[hushed willow]

Not polar

The striped ones

Mb

[plucky forge]

yea , so tasty its our traditional food

[finite gate]

panda ?

[hushed willow]

Yeah

[verbal peak]

Can we stop this gimmick 🙏 😭

[willow crater]

what gimmick?

[plucky forge]

i would love to see penguins on ardic map

[hushed willow]

To attract attention

[delicate peak]

pandas will probably not be the way to go to attract attention

[plucky forge]

yea leave alone these lazy butts ,

im just like them

they remind me of myself

[delicate peak]

like shooting a fish on land

[plucky forge]

like shooting king kong on land

[willow crater]

there are some pandas in Scotland too...

[hushed willow]

They should add a map and new gun with a spear and fish

[plucky forge]

yea but they came from britain so we dont admit to them

[mighty slate]

they should add some animals to the next map tbh

[glacial flame]

I’m curious about all the hints in the steam description

I reckon it’s either a super cool mission animal and/or something mythological

[hushed willow]

So their is gonna be a Scottish highland cow that we can shoot why should we shoot livestock

[glacial flame]

Nessie

[stiff hornet]

Idk that “challenge you’ll never forget” is making me think there’s some cool mission animal

[glacial flame]

A unicorn

[valid sage]

JUST IN!

NEW ANIMAL ALERT🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

THE EARTHWORM HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!!! CLASS 0.5

[finite gate]

oh hey mel get 6 more go yet?

[glacial flame]

Exactly something like that

[valid sage]

Uhh

[mighty slate]

is it ethical to shoot w the 300

[valid sage]

So

[tawdry juniper]

For sure

[willow crater]

tigers and crocodiles are confirmed to be in the new Scotland reserve so

[glacial flame]

Working on 7th Wolf rn

[valid sage]

470 is ethical, so go ahead

[mighty slate]

that's fitting

[delicate peak]

elaborate

[vital blaze]

#melfamous

[valid sage]

No way guys I just found a great one horse

[hushed willow]

They said there would be a highland cow as a new animal I find the text and comply it

[finite gate]

taking all the go the first and all the rest

[hushed willow]

Copy not comply

[plucky forge]

i was never lying see

[glacial flame]

Legit could be a mission animal as a unicorn - even as like a ghost sighting

[valid sage]

What

[hushed willow]

High land cattle

[willow crater]

hell yeah

[delicate peak]

there wont be a highland cow and i will die defending this statement

[valid sage]

Wait is this real

Wtf

[tawdry juniper]

Everyone in chat rn

[plucky forge]

YES

[valid sage]

TIGERS???

[delicate peak]

fr

[finite gate]

lol

[valid sage]

I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING

[glacial flame]

No

[molten pond]

If we get a unicorn, I want it to be the real unicorn, Elasmotherium

[valid sage]

WTF

[stiff hornet]

Jesus this chat is hell

[valid sage]

oh

I'm dumb

Thanks mel

[stiff hornet]

This is just like Alberta Chat

[glacial flame]

The trolling is…

[plucky forge]

IM NEVER LYING

[willow crater]

what trolling?

[valid sage]

Ykw

[stiff hornet]

Incessant? Yes.

[valid sage]

This entire chat is ai generated

[glacial flame]

Like would be nice to discuss the map actually

[delicate peak]

wdym alberta was way better

[plucky forge]

thats hate

[valid sage]

The trees look cool

Uhh

And

[glacial flame]

Nessie could also be something in the missions

[finite gate]

ok back on track 3 speices left unconfirmed thoughts?

[stiff hornet]

True, but at least Alberta chat was fun and not just “UH GUYS THERES A TIGER ON DA MAP” lmao

[plucky forge]

omg yes and those fake kiwi g1 leaks🚩 or big foot

[outer geyser]

So what kind of things are on the new Lodge stands?

[glacial flame]

There’s definitely something along those lines

[outer geyser]

We will get rock work and other cook things?

[mighty slate]

will merida be on the map?

[glacial flame]

Red grouse has to be one, has to be

[stiff hornet]

I’m thinking 2 of those have to be Pine Marten and Red Grouse

[outer geyser]

Woodcock?

[delicate peak]

im hoping for terrain

the current mounts are sad

[glacial flame]

I so hope they add the meep meep birds

[stiff hornet]

The other I’m hoping is Garganey, but it could be Woodcock, Scottish Wildcat, any sort of things.

[finite gate]

2 birds fs

[outer geyser]

I bet it will be Woodcock as its such a iconic hunt in Scotland

[hushed willow]

Scottish wild cat is the highland tiger isn’t it

[outer geyser]

However, maybe a Barnacle goose? As its a coast bird and the map has a coast?

[willow crater]

no there will be a wild cat and the tiger

[outer geyser]

The last 2 animals are nearly 100% going to be birds

[glacial flame]

I would guess

Pine marten could be

[hushed willow]

What tiger

[glacial flame]

Weasel or stoat too

[finite gate]

Partridge maybe

[outer geyser]

So red grouse, Woodcock, a duck

[stiff hornet]

Possibly, seeing as the Hebrides have a population

[willow crater]

a big one with stripes

[graceful glen]

Woodcock would be hard to programme

[valid sage]

I heard a duck quack in the trailer

[plucky forge]

thats a sign , they know smth we dont

[hushed willow]

Uh

[stiff hornet]

Well we know that there’s a 3rd Mustelid coming, likely Pine Marten or Stoat since it’s been confirmed to not be Eurasian Otters.

[mighty slate]

leucistic badger

[outer geyser]

So its probs a duck and a Gamebird?

[meager flume]

Wildcat, it looks almost like a house cat with tiger stripes

[outer geyser]

The last 2

[plucky forge]

labrador

[willow crater]

daym thats beautiful

[valid sage]

Def a duck I think

[stiff hornet]

I’m thinking a Waterfowl and a Gamebird of some sort

[glacial flame]

I hope and pray the badger have this rare…

[valid sage]

Reminds me of a gold gemsbok

[outer geyser]

When will we find out more?

[glacial flame]

Erythristic

[willow crater]

one day

[stiff hornet]

Who knows? A week?

[valid sage]

Next year

It got delayed

[outer geyser]

One day over the rainbow?

[delicate peak]

im putting all my money on pine martin because stoat seems so very unlikely

[valid sage]

Jk

[finite gate]

dove could be a thing too

[glacial flame]

Seeing as we have some animal with that rare now…

Badgers simply have to have it

Like

[stiff hornet]

Seeing how absolutely tiny stoats are, I also see it as rather unlikely.

[finite gate]

agreed

[willow crater]

one day....

[glacial flame]

They are the first example that comes up when you google erythristic

[delicate peak]

arent they smaller than rabbits?

[outer geyser]

Im a bit sad we only had 5 new species, Kinda was hoping for the Wood Pigeon

[glacial flame]

Literally fit in the palm of your hand tiny

Stoat are bigger, and pine marten way bigger

[stiff hornet]

Seeing as they weigh about 1 pound on the high end, yes, way smaller.

[willow crater]

we know 3 of the 5 new species right?

[delicate peak]

pigeons arent off the table

[finite gate]

2

[stiff hornet]

2 of the 5, with a 3rd one being confirmed to be another Mustelid of some kind, likely Pine Marten

[delicate peak]

are there any weasels in scotland that arent stoats?

[outer geyser]

I feel like they most likely are. I think woodcocks, Grouse of a duck species just makes more sense and is easier to add than my pigeon dreams

[willow crater]

ye thats what i meant

[valid sage]

40 new trophy platforms

[glacial flame]

They’re separate species

[valid sage]

A new great one

[mighty slate]

theyre so cute 😭

[willow crater]

duck g1

[outer geyser]

40 new platforms? Like thats a lot, what couod that include?

[valid sage]

Wasn't there a weasel on medved years ago?

[mighty slate]

im new gen idk

[delicate peak]

i know, just some people think stoats are weasels so you gotta specify

[graceful glen]

Are Red Grouse and Willow Ptarmigan even different?

[glacial flame]

Yeah as like an ambient thing

[stiff hornet]

Well stoats are a kind of weasel, related to the Least Weasel

[dusky wolf]

There was on Layton as ambient animals

[glacial flame]

True

[valid sage]

Boar, roe deer, elk, or...
Hear me out ...

Great one turkey

[dusky wolf]

Wouldn’t be opposed to it

[glacial flame]

But I’d say mustelid to avoid confusion

[radiant wren]

100% yes, although red grouse is also a type of ptarmigan

[delicate peak]

yea 40 different platforms has to at least mean there are going to be different biomes for the platforms but terrain will always be in my heart

[valid sage]

What is a mustelid

[willow crater]

out of all these i want wild boar tbh

[valid sage]

Cool

[dusky wolf]

I’m just hoping they’d make it based off of domestic turkeys and not ocellated turkeys as I’d rather we have the two separate species instead

[valid sage]

I need big tusk boar

[stiff hornet]

I just checked and Scotland also has (in terms of Mustelids that aren’t Otters, Minks, Badgers, or Stoats): the European Polecat and the Least Weasel

[willow crater]

yeee

[graceful glen]

Is the red plumage type of willow ptarmigan not just a parody of a red grouse?

[tawdry juniper]

Type of animal. Badgers and weasels are mustelids

And mink

[glacial flame]

Polecat could work

[dusky wolf]

Otters aswell

[valid sage]

If a blacktail deer is albino, isn't it technically not a blacktailed deer anymore?

Species wise it is

But

[delicate peak]

along with wolverines

[stiff hornet]

They could work but they’re not really as iconic to Scotland as the European Pine Marten is, so I feel EW would likely pick the Marten.

[valid sage]

YES

I was gonna say this

[glacial flame]

I definitely agree

[verbal peak]

It’s going to be the pine marten

[valid sage]

We NEED wolverines

[dusky wolf]

The one thing all mustelids have in common is crackhead energy

[verbal peak]

I wonder if they’ll climb trees

[willow crater]

what about whitetail melanistic?

[glacial flame]

Now they’re adding mustelids, there’s definitely a bigger chance of them I’d think

[delicate peak]

realest thing said in this chat so far

[valid sage]

Technically

[glacial flame]

Also…mink are pretty small, long animals

[valid sage]

Squirrels aren't getting added ever are they?

[glacial flame]

I’ve handled mink and grey squirrel that are about the same size

So maybe a step forward?

[outer geyser]

So what kind of things are the new platforms going to be like?

[dusky wolf]

Mink are larger

[delicate peak]

nothings impossible

[glacial flame]

Not always

[dusky wolf]

I would love to see pine martens get added

Those suckers are huge

[glacial flame]

I’ve handled some massive greys

[mighty slate]

and cute

im mostly excited for the red deer and badgers

[dusky wolf]

Side note there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to shaming and the hatred of fat squirrels

[wary juniper]

the irony of me thinking badgers weren’t coming to the game cause i asked “are you guys thinking of adding badgers?” in the Q&A and it didn’t get responded to

[dusky wolf]

One of the rules is that you cannot show sympathy in any posts

[outer geyser]

Will there be still 2 maps next year?

[glacial flame]

They can be LORGE fr

[delicate peak]

they knew what they were doing

[dusky wolf]

We have black squirrels where I live

Those things are big enough to kill cats almost

[glacial flame]

Oooo they’re cool!!

[dusky wolf]

Also there was ALOT of dead squirrels for some reason this year where I live

Like a lot

[outer geyser]

Badgers may be tricky if they are like rabbits and run to burrows

And Mink are tiny

Mink class 1 for sure right?

[delicate peak]

squirrel plague has arrived

[glacial flame]

Definitely

Be like rabbits

[jade thicket]

mink are small

[outer geyser]

Class 2 would be impossible challenge haha! Im excited to see what this map is like

[glacial flame]

Sameee

[outer geyser]

Will we have 2 maps next year you think?

[jade thicket]

Badgers live in burrows called
setts

[radiant wren]

WHAT? 🥹🙏🏻

[dusky wolf]

There was this one squirrel I’d pass by on my bike during the summer

It died of natural causes and every day I just progressively saw it rot until there was nothing but dust

[delicate peak]

shooting mink with a shotguns just sounds insane to me

[radiant wren]

Please tell me it’s just r/fatsquirrels because I’m omw to find it

[willow crater]

tibetian foxes in the new Scotland reserve please

[jade thicket]

so it will be interesting to see if they done that

[dusky wolf]

It took about the entire summer for it to rot completely

[mighty slate]

are snow leopards gonna be on the next map?

[grim python]

dreams of 2019 come true, thank you devs!

[outer geyser]

I bet there will be a lake monster mission

[dusky wolf]

No but the Scottish are

[delicate peak]

pigeons confirmed from the tails of old

[mighty slate]

oh um.... thats one of my biggest phobias:/

[outer geyser]

Lake monster confirmed from mission you will never forget

[glacial flame]

It’s something like that…gotta be

[ocean mortar]

What's if its a mission g1 💀

[outer geyser]

Lochness Monster is the G1

[ocean mortar]

Fr

[outer geyser]

Nessie vs My 22

[radiant wren]

Hey das me. 🙏🏻🩷 glad you were able to come in and see the hype! Congrats!

[proper wedge]

Did Vivi say there aren't Otters on this map? That would leave Pine Martens

[outer geyser]

No otters

[delicate peak]

neessie comes to the came with a surprise elaphant gun

[dusky wolf]

Pine martens for Layton when

[outer geyser]

Nessie has the elephant gun, gotta get it off her first

[grim python]

ive gave you an award for being such a mad lad and commenting on my old post

[delicate peak]

boss battle

[outer geyser]

Why do I hear boss music?

[agile cradle]

join the club iv been dropping this idea everywhere almost since release lol

[austere wigeon]

As long as the g1 is good I feel this will be one of my favorite maps and releases i cannot lie

[radiant wren]

Bahahaha thank you- I just looked up some more stuff about the map this morning and saw your post. Figured I’d leave a message haha 🫶🏻

Awesome to see a six year old suggestion finally come to fruition.

[pastel hinge]

do you guys thing grey seals could be a thing? like if they behaved like the crocodiles do on the coast of emerald coast

[mighty slate]

itd be cool

[ocean mortar]

Im glad I started playing, its nice to see a company actually look and listen to their community and continuously update their games

[dusky wolf]

Wait that’s a sable

[radiant wren]

What a wild little guy

[ocean mortar]

(Ik they dont add everything and there are glitches and a lot of stuff people want but yk theyre trying and its nice)

[mighty slate]

what was he trying to accomplish

[dusky wolf]

Do not question the weasel

[ocean mortar]

He craves violence

[agile cradle]

also cant believe we've just got a map and won a world cup qualification spot

[dusky wolf]

For he does not know

[delicate peak]

wall jump obviously

[jade thicket]

yeah no otters confirmed earlier

[radiant wren]

They’re far better than a lot of other teams, especially for one so small tbh. They do a lot. Can’t appease everyone yknow lol otherwise they’d never release anything

[ocean mortar]

Trickshot

[mighty slate]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-gm-marten-cute-gif-967419529223420752

A hell of a lot better than other teams 💀 i have like 5 dead games i enjoy

[radiant wren]

If not friend why friend shaped 🥹

[delicate peak]

the angler moment

[radiant wren]

Same… lol and even including games that are still active! Not many get the same treatment this one gets

[glacial flame]

I should show you guys the very angry weasel we had living in our log pile

Lemme get it

[radiant wren]

Yes please omg

[ocean mortar]

Most of mine are active just not worked on much or.. updated once every 5 months and its kind of nothing

[agile cradle]

get it? did you grab it and keep it as friend

[ocean mortar]

The isle type shi (i stopped playing)

[glacial flame]

Enjoy

[delicate peak]

we want to see the little rage noodle

[glacial flame]

We wondered why our dogs were so intrigued and I look down at this lmao

[ocean mortar]

100 attack 0 damage ahh

[glacial flame]

Sound on btw

[agile cradle]

hes barely a blur on the screen lol

[glacial flame]

For squeaks

[glacial flame]

Lmao I know

[fiery urchin]

Idc if the map is good or bad I’m, just hoping for new bird / waterfowl species.

[agile cradle]

the squeaks just frightened my mice woops

[delicate peak]

squeks of distruction

[ocean mortar]

It looks so pretty bro Im getting it anyway 💀

from when mr weasel was in game

[ocean mortar]

And ts look 🙏🙏

[lunar ingot]

why are u posting videos of me. get away from my house NOW

[ocean mortar]

I cant wait to take hella pictures in game

[glacial flame]

Lmfao

[delicate peak]

we need it back

[mighty slate]

its tail omg 😭❤️

[ocean mortar]

Thats fair but between asiky and this one i think theyre adding a few

[agile cradle]

i know right? i absolutely hate it.

[pastel hinge]

not a mink but a pine martin in a park near to where i live

[jade thicket]

i remember doing a video of shooting a weasel at medved tiaga with a 338 🤣

[mighty slate]

im obsessed with pine martens now im prepared to become devastated

[pastel hinge]

they steal food from campers a lot lol

[agile cradle]

its why their nickname is microsquirrels, they're actually african pygmy dormice or woodland pygmy dormice

[radiant wren]

0/10 ragebait

[radiant wren]

Same, I hope they’re actually on map lol

[agile cradle]

theres 5, 3 still secret new animals are you blind

[radiant wren]

Either way- tiny fuzzy things to shoot. Yay

[radiant wren]

Blind or lazy baiting. Don’t bother lol

[pastel hinge]

yeah probably

[ocean mortar]

"There was just no need for this map"
about 100 posts asking for a Scotland themed map

[radiant wren]

Since release too 😭

[ocean mortar]

Its almost like they confirmed that too

[pastel hinge]

its so unrealistic atp but im praying for grey seals

[peak fern]

will there be a buckshot rework? hunting with shotguns is extremely common in the UK (Which includes Scotland)

[blissful bough]

best species btw

[agile cradle]

not all africa wanters, but its always an africa wanter

[radiant wren]

“oh no, I didn’t get the one thing I wanted this time, this game is terrible” cmon man 🥹 it’s one release. Give em some time. They’ve said they’ll make multiple African maps lol

[mighty slate]

as much as i love new species its not a requirement for me to enjoy a map, we have a whole new class of animals (mustelids) and its really beautiful. it seems nice and open in some areas too..
like i love the species on sundar but its so annoying to hunt imo

[ocean mortar]

Also -- there will likely be more around the idea. But all the recent maps were asked for so I think theyre pretty valid lol

Only my opinion tho

[grim python]

i pray they actually have added in wood pigeon decoying

[ocean mortar]

Just gotta wait your turn then lil bro

[grim python]

that will be insane

i will be glued to a hide for hours

[radiant wren]

This!! Mustelids were one of the biggest things I wanted introduced personally. Super exciting to see them finally here !!

[delicate peak]

pigeons are so underappreciated

[agile cradle]

they've got those planned but it seems this info slips by the people who should want it the most.

[pastel hinge]

guys im pretty sure theyre still kinda following the theme of slightly smaller and less intresting map in the winter and the big showstopper map in the summer

[mighty slate]

thats what im thinking too

[ocean mortar]

If it was that controversial theyd prolly do a vote or sum

[radiant wren]

Yuuuup Africa is definitely one of the big showstoppers too. This has been talked about a bit. Just because it isn’t here right now doesn’t mean it isn’t in the cards!

[ocean mortar]

Yeah they did talk abt that!

[blissful bough]

no they made beavers exclusive to askiy becuase it would require reworking a maps entire water bodies and trees to implement dams and trees for their zones

[delicate peak]

lots came with askiy wdym?

[radiant wren]

Learn patience. It’s a good trait

[ocean mortar]

"Yeah but" just wait or make your own game lmao

[pastel hinge]

my guess is africa 2.0 will be the summer map

[ocean mortar]

Its definitely coming soon

[mighty slate]

i mean the fact their rehauling the trophy lodge is a sign that theyre planning to introduce larger species, they'd have to rehaul/make a new trophy lodge to make the main 5 animals in africa even fit

[agile cradle]

or you could wait and let them make your experience the best its going to be instead of being the kid with the instant gratification disease

[radiant wren]

Just don’t steal assets from other games 🥹🤞🏼not the way to go about it

[delicate peak]

i dont want to just say your opinions are bad but you seem to just be unnecessarily hateful

[pastel hinge]

ivan the longer they take to make a map generally means the better it will be, im happy they didnt crank out africa 2.0 just because the community wanted it

[ocean mortar]

instant gratification disease

[radiant wren]

Yeah. Ya see a lot of negative Nancy’s when new stuff gets teased. They get upset their new favorite thing isn’t included, and lash out instead of just… celebrating what we currently have/what’s to come lol

Give it time

[delicate peak]

fr

[ocean mortar]

Just "not my kind of map but im excited for whats to come" is fine yk

[sly gulch]

What do yall think the other three new species will be?

[blissful bough]

it’s definitely not the map i’d want the most personally but i’m still excited either way because it looks great

[radiant wren]

This. I’m not even a huge fan of the species there but it’s going to be such a big project when they do release it, and they have a LOT of hype to account for. They know they need to make it good. I too am glad they’re waiting

[stiff leaf]

scotland forever

[ocean mortar]

Bc Africa 2.0 is definitely coming soon! So you should be hyped honestly

[valid sage]

3 squirrels

[ocean mortar]

Agreed, I honestly don't care for small game but damn ts beautiful im getting it

[pastel hinge]

woah woah woah what was that?

[delicate peak]

where is that?

[blissful bough]

i’m the opposite, i entirely hunt birds lmao so i’ll probably spend a decent amount of time on it if there’s new birds

[valid sage]

It is from years ago

[mighty slate]

setting these people up for heartbreak man

[pastel hinge]

i love an open map, nothing better on hunting on open plains. no matter the animals

[ocean mortar]

Lmaoo maybe ill find my passion for them

[delicate peak]

thought you found something in the teaser

[agile cradle]

maybe this guy is just from denmark and is upset that scotland won

[ocean mortar]

I love sundarpatan mountains

[radiant wren]

Broski did you ever snag the pointer + salz map because I said the same but those two absolutely rocked my ish lol

[radiant wren]

Turned me into a small game hunter

It’s so much fun

[ocean mortar]

I have the pointer but ion got the map

[delicate peak]

exactly

[radiant wren]

They might backfill em

[ocean mortar]

Ill see w this one!

[blissful bough]

seen a theory going around too that the small animal in the water in the announcement trailer might be a pine martin

[sly gulch]

I personally hope that they will be Pink-Footed Geese, Red Grouse, and Woodcock (Or instead: Squirrles, Shovelers, or Muntjac)

[glacial flame]

No

It’s a mink

[blissful bough]

word

[mighty slate]

thats actually a good idea

[glacial flame]

Pine marten aren’t water lovers

[mighty slate]

idk if it fits but

[ocean mortar]

💀

[glacial flame]

Mink are

[valid sage]

They have the squirrel model or at least have had it at some point

[digital quartz]

@limber cliff I found Janet's old collar, so ive got her tags in my Keychain now

[pastel hinge]

i live arounf pine martins, they arent big fans of water and are a lot lighter in colour. I do agree tho that it seemed bigger than a mink

[glacial flame]

It was confirmed as mink

[pastel hinge]

okay thanks mel

[agile cradle]

my national animal is the Unicorn and that's just infinitely cooler than every other countries national animal

[sly gulch]

I kinda hope they just add Mink since Marten's feel a little too similar

[glacial flame]

I don’t understand why people are coming up with all the theories about it when a dev told people it’s a mink-

[dark panther]

Trophy score of 20000

[austere wigeon]

Mines dead 💔

[pastel hinge]

i feel like that spectacular mission will be something with a unicorn or haggis lmao

[silver fog]

He appears.

[mighty slate]

mine is the gray squirrel

[radiant wren]

Just because people are fed the info straight doesn’t mean they’ll read/comprehend it sadly

[jade wyvern]

I assume mink is a class 1 animal since it’s small

[sly gulch]

Mines a Whitetail

[valid sage]

Mine is just whitetail deer

[glacial flame]

I HOPE these are on the map

I will be SO HAPPY

[pastel hinge]

my whole danm country is the beaver lol

[tawdry juniper]

i love them so much

[silver fog]

Can always hope, dunno tho

[tawdry juniper]

devs hear my prayer

[delicate peak]

the way their peaks curve is rediculous

[glacial flame]

I know but it’s wild to me still 😂😂

[ocean mortar]

Kiwi would go hard

[valid sage]

Don't add woodcocks cause I wouldn't be able to push myself to shoot one

[radiant wren]

Felt. 🥹

[silver fog]

I just figure most of them havent read the chat

[agile cradle]

my brave knight appears in his regalia to bless Scotland chat. huzzah

[blissful bough]

kinda can’t assume everyone just saw this dev say that

[silver fog]

They've got too much silly in them

[tawdry juniper]

i need one in my lodge to be my little buddy

[radiant wren]

Tbh I’m speaking in general. This happens a lot. Lol

[pastel hinge]

the first time i saw a woodcock in the wild i nearly fell to the floor laughing, it was doing its little dance

[silver fog]

People. Dont. Read.

lol

[valid sage]

That little dance

[ocean mortar]

I just think its funny bc when I was looking in this chat ppl were talking about how otters are confirmed to not be a thing and when I came back like an hour later ppl were asking abt otters being confirmed

[valid sage]

When they walk

[glacial flame]

But you’d think it would get quashed super fast is my point

[tawdry juniper]

i love them so much im crying

[radiant wren]

Because it was serious and then someone started an ishpost train lol

[valid sage]

Mep

[blissful bough]

it will, it’s just that the trailer has been released within 24 hours and we don’t have a lot of info so for now at least there’ll be a lot of theories thrown around

[glacial flame]

Potato birds

[valid sage]

[delicate peak]

petition for new hunting companion to be meep birb

[glacial flame]

Honestly I was more so referring to in here earlier people telling the devs they were wrong about what was in their own trailer-

[radiant wren]

Meep birb and mink. We’re set

[mighty slate]

woodcock makes a celebratory meep every time you kill something

[valid sage]

A bird sanctuary with only woodcocks

[silver fog]

He craves the violence

[pastel hinge]

thats just... why?

[blissful bough]

i had no idea people were doing that lmao telling a dev they’re wrong when they develop the game is kinda crazy

[delicate peak]

yes

[glacial flame]

Yeahhhh 😭😂

[delicate peak]

people just dont know sometimes

[ocean mortar]

Those who know

[glacial flame]

It was interesting lol

[valid sage]
