Not crocodile hefty but hefty

uneven bloom
#

It's likely the American alligator

karmic merlin
#

big one

rough tree
#

I doubt it would work since truracs affects antlers and horns and probably not the rest of the model, but what if we got something that works the same way truracs does but with higher ranking gators being noticeably longer and thicker

midnight moon
#

It looks like a crocodile not an alligator

grand cipher
#

It’s a gator 100%

uneven bloom
#

That's an alligator. Snout's not long enough.

It's definitely supposed to be an alligator but the skull shape is a little off, but I can work with it

the backdrop looks like the nostalgia land rougarou bayou byt weird trees

Also there's not any interlocking teeth like crocodiles have, it's all overbite like alligators have

They are like one of the most chill crocodylians

Literally croc puppies

I want Gustave to eat my face, a nile croc in New Orleans I don't care

Nile crocodiles at Lake Chamo are more impressive than Gustave tbh

what are you thinking?

#

I thought it was going to be a beaver:(

unreal briar
#

i think its a crocodile

#

So if it a swamp and very likely a Louisiana swamp that would mean eastern turkeys and then we only need osceolas for a turkey slam

midnight moon

American alligator

Toothy lizard

I can’t believe they are adding them in

imagine you jump into the water on the new map and you see this :

I've mentioned it before, but in Louisiana, they could do the invasive Nutria

and then it just bites you clean in half

#

speaking of alligators,if you shot one how would you get to it 🤔

#

would it float to you or would you have to use a hook or go up to it by boat ?

tacit current
#

it will prolly float to u like other animals when they die in water

midnight moon
#

😏😏😏😏😏

#

Oh another thing the teaser has me thinking boat because this makes wet af

#

yea they would either have to add water wading or a boat.... I think the boat option would be easier for them

I've never done it personally, but we'd have big gator hunts in the local area where I grew up to control the population. It was always a big event

mighty dove

You lay prone next to a lake to get a shot and next thing you know you’re nose to snout to a 7 foot gator

hallow turret

Me when new we can hunt gators in cotw :

Okay so we got the gators confirmed

#

any guesses for other animals?

I mean, it shows them pretty obviously on the teaser

# uneven bloom any guesses for other animals?

depending on the location, i am hoping for some other reptiles!
Ducks and such would be good too, maybe more geese?
i hope for some interesting lil thigns we havent seen,
i agree w/ otter that beavers would be cool

I'm def buying it on release, may the inevitable bugs come as they may

i always buy on release :')

i dont want more whitetail personally but i would like blacktail too but eh nbd

i dont think id wanna hunt the majority of snakes, id rather hunt giant constrictors who are severely invasive

I would rather have blacktail too

midnight moon
#

they should put mocassins just for the challenge of avoiding them

vernal walrus

there is no way the next content is not a new map

It’s definitely a map

vernal walrus

but now that i have a computer that can really handle the game, i am so ready for it

It's a good song

My theory is 6 species of duck 1 deer 1 gator 1 bobcat

Jaxy’s enthusiasm really sets the tone for each stream

yea they must have had someone sing that song for them then

#

If there are going to be many ducks in this new reserve (and why wouldn’t there be. They are fun in classic) I still think it is backwards to introduce such a reserve before they start the rework on ducks.

Unless they are preparing for the duck rework

That's not something you should be messing with unless something is very wrong with your population.

You're not looking in the right places then. There's no such thing as an "only female" population.

omg they added alligator

If the gators are all uniform size imma cms

remote vine
#

Yeah I hope they have trusize or however they're scored irl

midnight moon
#

In american alligators the head-length is roughly ~1:7 of the total-length

#

Not the case with crocodiles

#

The average american gator male is about 3,2-3,9m and the largest gator based on a skull is about 4,8m

#

Historical reports describe specimens of 5-5,9m however no phyiscal evidence except a alleged 5,5m/18ft skin exists of those

#

The a 4,8m one would weigh 400kg+

#

Which is more than twice of the average weight

so basicaly

#

they can screw this up very easily

midnight moon

They probably will lmao

let's just hope they don't

Not a single game has ever managed to make a proper crocodylian ever so i wont get my hopes up

@ivory arch well I’m on console so lol

ivory arch
#

rip

tame storm
ivory arch
#

plus the quick fix for the new go was within days

fallen yew
#

With the reveal of alligators confirmed this means we can expect other crocodilians down the line. I remember EW mentioning that they'll only do animals than can share a rig due to time/money. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Africa map has niles on it for this reason.

uneven bloom
#

ooooh good point

ivory arch
#

i never thoguht of that

#

that could be cool cause they could implement zebra and stuff

tame storm
#

Yep, and all done serverside through apex. Crocs an Vurhonga would be cool due to the rivers surrounding the reserve

ivory arch
#

nah

#

i think they need to let vurhonga

#

but thats just my opinion

tame storm
#

It’s not a bad map, they just kinda threw a lot of un interesting species on it (granted, I love hunt gemsbok and wildebeest)

ivory arch
#

yep

tame storm
#

Africa is a diverse place and it’s just not a diverse map

karmic merlin
#

the song is made by EWs musical team right

tame storm
#

Yep

#

The legends themselves

karmic merlin
#

they better release that soon

#

the orchestra is amazing

#

medved is a masterpiece

tame storm
#

If I could buy CD soundtracks for the game I would

#

Like full orchestral versions of the reserve songs

karmic merlin
#

i love how it’s on spotify

#

good study music

midnight moon
#

@tame storm that’s fair I’m think since they said soon last week of November or First week of December

#

Also they said that they did a change to red deer GO’s did anyone find it?

#

Also how many Red Deer GO’s do we know exist as of rn?

upbeat skiff

Vurhonga needs a complete rehaul tbh it's one of my least favorite maps

Oh, wait, that outfit. Thats the Vurhonga game warden outfit

yeee

midnight moon

I didn’t know that was a thing

What animals could you see there being on a Louisiana map

midnight moon
#

Also I looked up a website for southern Louisiana hunting and found some animals that could be there
Alligators
WT
Sika
Fallow
Ducks
Pheasant
Quail
Axis
A sheep species called Aoudad

tame storm
#

I almost completely forgot that reserves in the US have Sika, Fallow, and Axis imported in. In the old Cabelas Outdoors Adventure game (2006) on the swampy maryland map they had Sika Deer. It would be cool to hunt Sika Deer in that environment again

midnight moon
#

Plus it would add another map for them to be hunted on COTW since they can only be hunted on NZ map I believe rn

uneven bloom
#

Sika and Axis would be awesome

#

and if it were also Map #3 for both WT and Fallow, I wouldn't complain about that either

golden edge
#

I hope they might add in grey fox

midnight moon
#

Yea and southern Louisiana is along the Mississippi River Area and maybe

#

Although the one thing I will say is why another WT place lol

analog latch
golden edge
#

Yeah grey look beautiful

wind ridge
midnight moon
#

@wind ridge where are the alligators then?

analog latch
#

Considering the map is likely going to be a southern US map grey Fox would a really good option! A Smaller/shorter Fox with a shorter muzzle and larger ears would be so cool. As that’s the main differences between them

#

Hell if they added Cross foxes I would be amazed too!

I would pay extra if needed to have a mount between the two lmao

Also for exotics present in the SEUS you've got Water Buffalo, Ellipsen/Common Waterbuck (seriously!), Sambar Deer, and then ofc plenty of non-native pigs...

@upbeat skiff I was about to say ummm what? Lol

And we all know COTW maps are never super bound by geography LOL

I think we are looking at something closer to Louisiana. And Florida is definitely a wild card of all sorts lmao

BUT

could you imagine if they added Key deer?

They didn't even give us a unique WT for Rancho

Oh I know they’re protected did I remember correctly

When there are like four to use

midnight moon
#

@upbeat skiff so what I’m hearing is that this could potentially beat Africa map in number of animals if they don’t follow that

analog latch
#

But like smol deer

upbeat skiff
#

Have like Ringbill/Ringneck, Wood Duck, Redhead, and Pintail

midnight moon
#

@upbeat skiff all because of ducks lol

#

Quack lol

analog latch
#

Hmm I wonder if the map would have places fit for grey foxes?

#

I imagine there’s going to be a few places further from swamp or water

upbeat skiff
#

Actually works cause Wood Duck and Pintail could share a whistle call and Redhead/Ringbill could share a diver call

#

@analog latch id assume so

#

Gotta have dry land for "mah whitetail" so demanded by the community o.e

analog latch
#

That would mean the majority of the map may potentially be small game

upbeat skiff
#

Eh debatable

#

Cause feral hog, black bear, gator, and whitetail?

analog latch
#

Fair enough but we don’t know exactly what they’re adding correct?

upbeat skiff
#

Then swamp rabbit/cottontail, ducks, turkey, bobcat

#

Ofc

But just guessing

#

Fortunately there really isn't THAT much choice

Nothing wrong with that

But this would be in theory the last time we may get a change for grey foxes because no ones going to want another NA map after this

The map would be based on the Central Valley of California, and would/could have Blacktail, Tule Elk, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Coyote, California Quail, California Ground Squirrel or Black-tailed Jackrabbit, and then all kinds of waterfowl (personally I'd choose Bufflehead/Greenwing Teal/Northern Shoveler/Ruddy Duck)

#

I don't think said map would ever happen, but it could lmao

#

It would be the first time since 2006 that you could hunt all three US Elk subspecies (Roosevelt, Rocky Mountain, and Tule), another map for Blacktail, more ducks, and then people want Prairie Dogs but they won't be added to SRP for whatever reason then the Cali Ground Squirrel could make for a good replacement, they p much act the same

I wonder how they will work. IRL gator hunting is done with a baited hook tied to a tree near the waters edge. They kill the gator with a point blank shot to it's head with usually a small caliber round so there is a possibility of salvaging the skin and or the head. Source: I've watched numerous episodes of Swamp People reality show on The History Channel.

Coots would be nice in a swamp map. They’re widespread across America and are really cool

Is there even a hunting season for coots or can you hunt them? I haven’t heard of too many people go hunting for American coots. Where I’m from, there’s not too many people who do.

cyan sundial
#

Because they aren’t desirable to shoot and taste like dirt

They share the same season as ducks

lucid orchid
#

I kinda figured that would be why. You never really hear about people nowadays who go hunting for coots

cyan sundial

Hopefully we get Wood Ducks and maybe Blue Winged Teals

Also different ways to hunt them, such as goose hunting in Hirsch and duck hunting in Layton.

They actually taste like any other duck

Even though they are a rail and not a duck

They've never shown an animal in trailers that wasn't included in the map.

It will be same gameplay as hunting anything else

Yup! And the trailer looks very similar to both Rougarou Bayou in Classic (which is in set in Louisiana) and the Atchafalaya Basin, which surrounds an outflow of the Mississippi River. Those cypress swamps are typical of the area from what I've seen in photos and on YouTube. Rougarou Bayou was probably a big inspiration as well. The Delta Blues really screams this too; only some Cajun or Zydeco would make it more so.

@midnight moon bought it from a butcher. I live in Canada so a bit chilly for gators here.

# inner wasp Different tastes I guess

And what they eat

I remember having 2 separate Mule Deer from 2 separate harvests

My first Mule Deer was tough and didn’t taste very good. It was harvested in a dry, crunchy area so that’ll probably explain why.

My second one was amazing and was harvested higher up where there was more stuff to eat. It was more tender to.

That applies to any meat

cyan sundial

Yeah, just bringing up an example.

The coots I ate I suppose were eating the nasty stuff and that’ll explain why they tasted like dirt

also the fact that we could have coon dogs

the blue coon hound from classic could make a return to hunt the cotw raccoons
