I want beavers on the new map.

cyan sundial
#

A brain shot would honestly be that much easier

lusty orbit
#

Skillz

raven oriole
#

I think on actual hunting charters in Africa, you are required to shoot crocodiles in the brain because it becomes a danger if they live

cyan sundial
#

Big time

#

It’s also normal practice

lusty orbit
cyan sundial
#

Kodiak Island anyone?

raven oriole
#

They’d have to disappear

#

Which I mean I guess they could run into like a wall of sticks and not come out for a while

lusty orbit
#

Well yea

#

Thats what i meant

#

Also the dams would have to spawn in random places like burrows

ebon torrent
stuck crown
#

@lusty orbit not really beaver dams are in water so they can be placed in water.

#

There just wood and mud

lusty orbit
#

Yea, but it would be coolr with dams

stuck crown
#

@lusty orbit beavers don’t live in the dams, they just block water access that forms ponds for the lodges that they actually live in.

lusty orbit
#

A hut?

stuck crown
#

Yeah beavers live in huts.

uneven bloom
#

a lodge, actually

stuck crown
#

Hut, lodge whatever you call them,they live in giant wood structures in the center of ponds.

spiral dawn
#

Do you guys think we will be able to shoot the gators in the skull or will it be labeled a trophy organ

#

Every alligator hunter I know shoots them in the head

#

you dont shoot lungs

bitter badger
#

I’d assume you could. Normally alligators are shot either brain or neck

spiral dawn
#

Yea neck too

bitter badger
#

You use the eyes/ear things as a guide to center your shot for the brain, then you just have to figure out where to shoot for the neck. I guess you could do a lung shot, i know that’s sometimes done in crocodile hunting because the crocs normally won’t go underwater with a lung shot so it’s easier to find them. It’s not very efficient though, compared to brain or neck. I’d hope they don’t count the skull as a trophy organ, but I would understand if they did

#

Not sure how lungshots work on alligators, but I’d assume similar. It’s still not a great option though

tiny quiver
cyan sundial
#

Hope for a brainshot

And them to be classified as like 4-6, if you miss the brain you ruin the trophy

But a lung shot also is safe

#

So hunting Gators in general will actually be challenging

limber cliff
#

Pretty sure skin/size is the gator trophy

#

Like weight

#

Or skull could be

cyan sundial
#

Maybe it’ll be a combination

limber cliff
#

I mean like, length of skull? That could be feasible, even with brainshots

cyan sundial
#

Bigger Gator + Skull = Overall score

limber cliff
#

Yeah

cyan sundial
#

Need the Gators to mess ya up like RDR2

#

Grab ya and shake ya around lol

#

That’ll be hilarious to speculate

lethal karma
#

He got jumped by one, and when he respawned his hat was gone lmao

celest star
#

I shot a gator in RDR2, thought it was dead. Walked up to skin it when it suddenly lunged, grabbed me, and shook me like a rag doll. After that I always checked the mini-map before approaching a gator, to make sure it was dead.

lethal karma
#

XD

lusty orbit
#

Hope they update the black bear model if they add them to the new map

cyan sundial
#

Gators are usually the biggest meme animal in any game they’re in

In FC they give you free heart attacks, RDR2 they also give you heart attacks and steal hats

Hopefully they are pretty hilarious in cotw

lethal karma
#

Stealing hats and taking names

#

Lmao

cyan sundial
#

Make them hyper aggressive, so when your in the menu or something they sneak up on you, then they just insta-kill you

lethal karma
#

Phht that would be so bad

cyan sundial
#

Far Cry

lean mist
#

oh ok

cyan sundial
#

Gator just steals your entire ATV

#

“You needed this? Not anymore.”

lean mist
#

that would be cool but atm the water is so clean that we can see the gator trying to sneak at us, which i think they should change as swamp water is usually very dirty and dark

raven oriole
#

If I get jump scared by an alligator this game is no longer just a hunting game

#

I think once you start to get close to one you can hear a low growl

lusty orbit
#

In the past you could hunt elephants with a .22lr

#

Also the reason 375 is the minimum for dangerous game in Africa is because a bigger bullet is more likely to drop an animal before it murders you

cyan sundial
#

People were dumber back then and didn’t really have established rules + better gunpowder

More people got mauled back then in comparison to now

raven juniper
#

Also, ethical hunting rules

#

The quicker you kill an animal the less time it has to suffer

uneven bloom

I do like the idea of how Speedloaders can be part of the skill tree instead of an attachment like I was thinking of

#

I for one would like to welcome our new alligator overlords and remind them that as a hunting game enthusiast, I will be key in recruiting more players to be dragged to their watery toothy demise.

hidden quest
# raven juniper ~~clues chat is always deralied~~

the clue chat (when all clues are found and the general consensus about what the clues are hinting towards is established) becomes a place where people whine and complain that they didn’t get what they wanted, then a few days after that sh*tstorm, it turns into a second general chat discussing anything but clues since they have already been found, though the discussions mostly have something to do with the clue speculation. I stop checking it a few days after the sh#tstorm that ensues shortly after all clues has been found, and it looks like the sh#tstorm is over now, thank goodness!

#

So your all saying that this is an American Crocodile instead of American Alligator? Right.

uneven bloom
#

Hmm...

#

first image is gator, second is croc

#

...I think it's a gator. Back knobs aren't as ridged-looking

limber cliff
#

Check the jaw, the pics aren’t loading for me.
U-shaped jaw and mostly hidden teeth = gator

#

V-shaped jawline and highly visible teefs are crocs

#

American gators tend to be dark/slate tones

uneven bloom
#

Image angle doesn't allow for that exact comparison unfortunately

raven juniper

And this is an image of a ||Chevrolet movie theater||

yeah, jaw/tooth makes it look like an alligator to me

stuck crown
#

@uneven bloom @limber cliff I knew we’re getting American alligators.was being sarcastic

inland isle
#

I'm trying to use the trees to mark it down a bit futher, I think they're cyprus trees but can't tell 100%. lots of potential cyprus swamps in the southeast US

limber cliff
stuck crown
#

@inland isle probably white cypress.

limber cliff
#

I wonder how cypress trees smell

#

Which sounds weird, but I live where there’s a lot of pine trees and the area just has a distinct scent

inland isle
#

they looked like bald cypress trees to me in the start as the vid panned over the water. iirc those are considered a Louisiana icon but they cover a solid range of land that doesn't help mark it down too much

shut glacier
inland isle
#

I'd generally expect something with gators and cypress trees to be LA though, which would be pretty sick

#

a bit thin for bald cypress, but the shape was right-ish

shut glacier

idk I haven't been to the southeast in a bit aside from a few flights to florida, I'm in the AZ desert lol

But from the music and trailer leads me to the deep South

the slide guitar had me pinned on Lousiana lol. Delta blues is pretty heavily associated with LA/MS

shut glacier
inland isle
#

not sure which one they'll go with. had to google this but delta blues started in the MS delta (I was wrong and thought it was LA)

#

that's taking a bit of a stretch and assuming the history of the music in the teaser is a clue on it's own

stuck crown
#

The Mississippi River delta ends at the Louisiana Gulf of Mexico border.

#

oh lol. I feel dumb now

#

ohh yeah it does, had to pull a map of it up. I know where the MS river is just don't know the specifics of the delta off the top of my head lol

We have a croc at our local 3d target club. If you miss you have to go for a swim!

spiral dawn
#

A bit complicated

exotic palm
gaunt storm
#

The U vs V snout doesn't work from that angle. Instead, you look for overlapping teeth(Alligator) or interlocking teeth (crocodile)

raw otter
# stuck crown So your all saying that this is an American Crocodile instead of American Alliga...

So I literally took a class on herpetology and we spent a few weeks on crocodilian ID. The thing in the trailer is most definitely an Alligator, and not a crocodile. All 'crocodile-crocs' have a spot where the 4th tooth on the lower jaw sticks up past the upper jaw. You can see the notch where it is on the picture someone posted of the crocodile. Also, the head is pretty bulbous and not slimline at all (you can tell from the side as well as the top). The only way that could be a crocodile is if EW completely hand-waived trying to make the animal remotely look like the actual thing. So I think that Alligator confirmed is 100% safe.

#

Though for real, I wasn't expecting a NA map to buck the trend, but this location was my second most wanted, so I can't be too mad. Especially not if we can actually hunt the gators! They're not a creature I thought would ever make it in, honestly.

gaunt storm
#

This is speculation, but you may or may not have noticed, that they alternate between having a male warden and female warden each new map. Understandable, but that coupled with the pattern they release maps with, all the North American maps have male wardens and all the ones elsewhere have female wardens (except Vurhunga). I think they released two North American maps in a row this time to break the pattern.

stuck crown

@raw otter what I said was a joke.

raw otter
# open kelp We have a lot of alligators here in America so it is presumably a gator

You're right, but there are literally also crocodiles in FL too, so it wouldn't be impossible for them to add them to a more coastal portion of the swamp. Not that they're going to do that, but I can see people trying to argue that.

I think the idea that it's anything other than a 'gator is absurd, but I'm just trying to back you people up for all the people still thinking crocodile somehow.

People thinking the render glitch of "black squares" was a clue that meant Africa, because 3 squares = 3 syllables. I can't make that up. It was real and happened in this very chat.

🤦‍♂️

raw otter
#

Yeah, exactly

midnight moon
#

As much as i want africa even i wouldnt say that

#

I thought we were getting nile crocs lmao

#

Or hoped*

raw otter
#

I did too honestly. I actually wanted a southeast US map (Grew up in the Carolinas), so this was a pleasant surprise. But with them actually dropping gators, I think we have a really good chance of crocodiles in Africa II.

midnight moon
#

I knew we wernt tho

#

I live in the carolinas

#

And last thing I would want is a map here

#

No good NC species that layton doesnt have covered

raw otter
#

I just think it'd be cool to have local stuff. Great small game map. Maybe gators and whitetail as your big species. Then lots of ducks, possums, racoons, squirrels, etc. We need an actual small game map, still. 🙂 Though I know most people prefer the big flashier animals. We just have so many of them already

midnight moon
#

Besides woodies

#

We have a small game map tho

raw otter
#

I mean, Layton is missing a lot of potential options.

midnight moon

Besides squirells

#

No one WANTS to hunt racoon and opossum tho lets be honest

raw otter
#

Eh, kinda? It's the most small game map, but it still only has 2 birds, a coyote and a bobcat for smaller game.

#

Speak for yourself.

midnight moon
#

U would wanna put a possum in ur lodge?

#

😂

raw otter
#

I think that an arboreal mechanic would be quite fantastic.

Why not a possum in the lodge? It's every bit as much an animal as a mallard or a feral goat.

#

I'd rather have an opossum than a 50th species of rabbit

midnight moon

I refuse to kill goats

#

Possums are ugly tho

#

Goats are my fav animal irl so i wont even kill the 5s on my TA lmao

Instead of like Whitetail again...why not Sambar Deer?

#

Similar to Red Deer a little

gaunt storm
cyan sundial
#

Umm

You know that they can be on a reserve right? And they’re an invasive species. Plus they are indeed in Florida

gaunt storm
#

Okay, so they are in Florida

#

The map is in Mississippi or Louisiana

#

The latter being more likely

uneven bloom
#

Could also be a Lousiana/Florida thing

gaunt storm
#

Those states don't even touch each other

uneven bloom
#

the teaser gave me major vibes of a Florida map from an Old game I used to obsess over

gaunt storm
#

But then why the river clue?

uneven bloom
#

and I recall hearing that maps are never based on one specific area

gaunt storm
#

But they are in a specific area

cyan sundial
#

The Sambar deer is in Mississippi, but not Louisiana

gaunt storm
#

Now you got a legitimate arg

#

Argument

#

But hey, why not both?

#

Since the only big game otherwise would be the WT and black bear

cyan sundial
#

And probably pig

gaunt storm
#

Excluding the gators of course

#

Okay, yeah pig

#

Maybe it should have sambar deer

#

Cause I do not belive they will add a map located in their native regions

cyan sundial
#

Like the Water Buffalo

gaunt storm
#

Yep

#

The last map I can see being justified in North America after this is a Texas Hill Country map, with exotic game from those regions, but adding sambar deer to this one would open up a slot on such a map

#

For another such species

#

Suddenly, I'm on board with this

cyan sundial
#

I’d feel like the Sambar Deer would actually be easy to add because they appear similar to Sika deer

gaunt storm
#

Yeah, but apparently bigher

#

MUCH bigger

cyan sundial
#

But are much bigger

Like Red deer size

gaunt storm
#

Larger than that

#

Almost elk sized

cyan sundial
#

They’d fit into Class 6

Or 7, depends

#

I’d say 7

.270 is apparently the recommended caliber for them

gaunt storm
#

RMEs should be class 7

#

The Grizzly is bigger, but class 7

cyan sundial
#

Are Elks class 7?

gaunt storm
#

8

cyan sundial
#

I forgot

gaunt storm
#

Both are 8

#

You can still use the 270 on them, but it's clearly being pushed to its limit

cyan sundial
#

So if a theoretical Sambar Deer was added, what class would they put them in?

gaunt storm
#

Better be 7

#

I don't like that all the bears are 7 and nothing else is

cyan sundial
#

That’d be the first Deer in 7 right?

gaunt storm
#

Yep

#

Black bears should be 6

#

The browns can stay 7

cyan sundial
#

I agree

#

Irl Black Bears can be taken with a .243

gaunt storm
#

I wouldn't do it, but yeah

cyan sundial
#

I took mine with a .243

But he was only like 150 pounds

gaunt storm
#

What color was he?

cyan sundial
#

IRL hunting btw

gaunt storm
#

Ik

cyan sundial
#

He was like that super deep brown color

gaunt storm
#

Dark Chocolate

cyan sundial
#

Yeah

gaunt storm
#

Back on the base subject, I hope gators are class 8

cyan sundial
#

I’d say class 6

I wouldn’t mind 8 because I’ll probably hunt the area with a scoped 12GA slug shooter anyways

gaunt storm
#

Why 6? That's red and mule deer

#

Gators can get bigger than either

cyan sundial
#

Because .357 is like a caliber that is always used to hunt gators

The animal may be big, but a brain shot between the eyes instantly takes them out

Heck people do it with .22s

#

And Brain shots are mandatory against Gators

gaunt storm
#

So is using steel birdshot on ducks

#

And using shotguns on most birds

#

And hunting big game only during the day

#

Except in Alaska

#

The list of hunting laws that people often do not follow in the game is a couple miles long

cyan sundial
#

Just saying their skull thickness between their eyes is super thin

Something like a 10Ga slug would probably not be necessary

gaunt storm
#

It would be if you were trying the normal heart/lung shot while they are basking

I’d say a .243 could honestly do that shot just as good

#

If not

.30-06

gaunt storm
#

If you have armor-piercing rounds maybe

#

Those 4-8 guns will be sufficient, no doubt

bitter badger
#

The scales on the lower side/bottom of an alligator are not as strong as the top. You can penetrate it with bows and spears, as was done by native Americans quite commonly in the past. A gun would work for lung/heart, just wouldn’t be as efficient or realistic as a brain/neck shot

gaunt storm
#

The bottom is their weak spot for sure

bitter badger
#

And side

gaunt storm
#

Eh...

#

Quite iffy

cyan sundial
#

Nah it’s not that thick

bitter badger
#

Depends on the spot. The scales get weaker as they go lower, quite quickly

cyan sundial
#

I’d say a .243 can punch through that spot behind the arm pit and take out the lungs

bitter badger
#

For sure

gaunt storm
#

So, you wait for its front leg to be posed forward?

#

Now I'm realizing something

#

Some gators get to 800-900 pounds, sure, so normally I would take to weapons meant for animals that size. But like 1/3 of that weight is in their tail, unlike most other animals that size

cyan sundial
#

I feel like Gators have a reverse logic in comparison to the African Lion(a little)

Lions are smaller than Grizzlies but need a bigger Caliber because of how dangerous they are

Gators are about as big, but an Caliber option like a .243 is good enough to take them out

gaunt storm
#

So, weapons for animals upnto 600 pounds might work, ie the 243

#

The lion thing was just so the 470 was permitted, since the real world legally requires a 375 H&H or more

#

Permitted, not required

cyan sundial
#

The .375 is actually minimal

gaunt storm
#

Not such rule exist with Grizzlies

cyan sundial
#

Oddly enough I wish we got the .416 instead

gaunt storm
#

Me too

#

470 is overkill for Buffalo

#

It's an elephant gun

#

416 makes more sense

cyan sundial
#

It literally is an elephant gun

gaunt storm
#

Jack O'Connor killed lions with a 270, I am pretty sure

#

Before that requirement was a thing

#

He shot everything with a 270

cyan sundial
#

You can pretty much take anything out with something like a .270 or a .30-06

gaunt storm
#

Yep

#

Karamojo Bell would agree

cyan sundial
#

But for people’s own safety in Africa, laws are put in place to prevent some dumpy going after an Buffalo with a .270 and later get trampled

gaunt storm
#

Yep

cyan sundial
#

Less casualties that way

gaunt storm
#

This brings me to a conversation I had about shooting a T Rex, after I watched The Lost World

#

So, I brought up how 1/3 of a gator's mass is in its tail, so maybe it doesn't require that much power after all.

#

The same thing is true with comparing elephants to T Rex

#

Sure, rex is bigger, but 1/3 the mass is in the tail, so maybe a heart/lung shot could be viable (or even more practical when you consider the small brain size)

cyan sundial
#

On a T Rex a lung or a heart shot would most likely be WAY more viable than a head shot

The Dino’s head is up higher so it’s harder to shoot at

gaunt storm
hidden quest
#

Wishful thinking, it is very very likely to be North America, since there has been a clue saying ‘Rivers of North America and there was an Alligator in the teaser and everything points to a North American swamp map

shell mirage
#

There are crocs.

#

And swamps 🤣

hidden quest
#

But the crocodilian in the trailer was an alligator

gaunt storm
#

I know. But that wasn't a crocodile

shell mirage
#

Looked a bit fat for a gator

gaunt storm
#

All of its teeth were pointed down

#

If it was a croc, some would point up

shell mirage
#

It was wishful thinking though 🥲

gaunt storm
#

Also, some of our gators do get pretty fat

#

Granted, those are captive ones that I know of

shell mirage
#

Camel and too hunting would be 👌

#

Roo*

west bramble
#

Australia / Asia = Salt water crocs. Look like gators. However, agree - the poster says North America.

gaunt storm
#

I keep forgetting camels are so common in Australia that Suadi Arabia imports them from there

west bramble
#

Salt water crocs are extremely aggressive -- also towards humans

gaunt storm
#

But they originated in North America, and frankly, I think they should be reintroduced

shell mirage
#

Brumbie hunting might be a bit controversial

gaunt storm
#

So would roo hunting, but to a lesser extent

shell mirage
#

It's not in Australia 🤷‍♀️

#

Controversial that is

gaunt storm
#

What do you mean?

shell mirage
#

Roo hunting isn't controversial in Australia.

gaunt storm
#

Oh

#

That figures

#

But Americans and Europeans aren't exposed to Kangaroos the same way AUstralians are

shell mirage
#

They run them down with 4x4s lmao

gaunt storm
#

The concept of hunting them was foreign to me until about a year or two ago

#

I see no reason why they can't be eventually added

They have fox and other random introduced species too like buffalo

gaunt storm
#

How about dingo hunting?

shell mirage
#

Dingos only if they've cross bred If I remember correctly

#

Upland birds and waterfowl is pretty extensive too.

gaunt storm

Upland game birds should be added to most existing maps, now that the mechanic is shown possible

#

Blue Grouse in SRP

#

Ptarmigan in Yukon

#

Doves in Parque

shell mirage
#

Pheasant in the awaroa

gaunt storm
#

Red Legged Partridge in Cautro Colllinas

shell mirage
#

Pheasant, duck and Canadian goose hunting is massive in the hunting community here.

#

Much, much more than turkey which is mostly a bird kept for target practice so they're generally semi tame.

gaunt storm
#

Brutal

shell mirage
#

Target practice to table lmao

gaunt storm
#

Can those ones even fly?

shell mirage
#

Yeah, not far.

gaunt storm
#

To be fair, wild ones can't fly far either.

#

When they fly, It's usually to get to their roost, or to escape a fox or yote, or the occasional mountain lion

#

in any case, flying to the nearest tree is sufficient to escape

shell mirage
#

Friend of mine has a flock of about 60 mixed coloured turkeys she shoots every now and then. I'd say a good half are buff/white.

gaunt storm
#

Sounds pretty domesticated

shell mirage
#

They don't know where they came from.

#

And the Turks are nowhere near the house.

#

Pretty cool to see white ones with yellowish accent colours though.

gaunt storm
#

You sure that yellowish accent isn't dirt or...worse?

shell mirage
#

Yellowish gold*

gaunt storm
#

That..makes me more inclined to think "excrements" lol. sorry

shell mirage
#

I'd say it's more like a leucisism.

gaunt storm
#

Okay, now that doesn't

shell mirage
#

I asked her and there's a wild story 🤣

gaunt storm
#

Well, now you have to tell it

shell mirage
#

So a local constable played a prank on a turkey obsessed friend who bred the colour meticulouslyand essentially stole a bunch. They escaped.

gaunt storm
#

Oh dear

shell mirage
#

Many many many years ago

#

And now a small handful of stations around the area spanning 100s of kms have small flocks. She has a large one because she likes the light coloured ones and picks off the normal ones.

#

Kinda cool tbh but also goes to show how things take over lmao

gaunt storm
#

A story as old as humanity at this point

#

The south is facing this with wild boar/feral pigs (worse-their hybrids) and kudzu

#

Hippos are starting to take over columbia

shell mirage
#

Australia has magpie/crow hybrids. They're like extra murderous

gaunt storm
#

and prickly pear cactus are in South Africa

shell mirage
#

I lived there for a year and have never been more scared of anything in my life

gaunt storm
#

How come this hybridization is not documented elsewhere that has both species is what I'm wondering

shell mirage
#

Forget spiders and snakes or red roos that square you up. Murder birds were terrifying.

gaunt storm
#

Currawong?

#

Is that what you are referring to?

shell mirage
#

Pretty sure it's a hooded crow and a magpie

gaunt storm
#

Until a few months ago, I would've thought you were just unreasonably scared of these birds. But after hearing a story of two ravens teaming up to kill a mourning dove midair, i truly believe your fear has merit

shell mirage
#

I mean, I watch plover chase hawks on the daily 🤣

gaunt storm
#

Hawks are easily intimated when approached

#

Such a small angry bird haha

gaunt storm
#

I've seen plenty of lil tweety birds do that to redtails

Loud too I bet.

Sometimes. Usually from afar or a car

You want to talk about a loud bird ? Try sandhill crane.

I live fairly remote so get to see some cool stuff.

They fly 4,000 feet above you and you STILL hear them

Wow

gaunt storm

Before they are even close to right above you

#

They look like itty bitty specs in the sky

#

Look up lapwing plover. Don't mean to irritate ya but my gawd they are loud and annoying

I'll look it up

They would use goose mechanics, in shallow water

If the gators are all uniform size i will cry

I hope they make multiple sizes

Lvl 10- 18 feet

You've thought a lot about this.

Just having one would destroy the point of having gator trophies lol

gaunt storm

It's a large part of their trophy Quality

midnight moon
#

Those lads are my favorites

shell mirage
#

I was so hoping it was an Aussie map. I only saw the trailer and first clue

midnight moon
# gaunt storm Lvl 10- 18 feet

The largest american alligator with described measurement was allegedly around 19ft, however no physical remains of it exist sadly.

#

So it is doubtful

shell mirage
#

It would have been an interesting tease, and only because most people don't realise that the Aussie crocs live in similar habitats depicted in the trailer.

gaunt storm
#

It would be a GO

midnight moon
#

Assuming one would make it 7m

#

At fabled

midnight moon
gaunt storm
midnight moon
#

7m would equal roughly 2000kg lmao

shell mirage
#

20ft is the largest ever

gaunt storm
#

Oddly, there isn't much difference between the average female alligator and female saltwater crocodile

#

Its the males that are that big

#

Also, being reptiles, they never stop growing

shell mirage
#

There was one in Aus that was stealing children when I loved there and dumb shits would still go into the area and be tourists just to see it 🤯

gaunt storm
#

Unlike mammals that eventually shrink

midnight moon
# shell mirage 20ft is the largest ever

Oh no Lolong wasnt the largest saltie ever, far from it. His backline was 617cm but his groundline only 609,5cm. The largest full physical skin was 620cm groundline and it was dried and salted, fresh skin wouldve been bout 630cm groundline and 637,7cm backline, so bout 21ft. The largest skulls indicate a max length of 680-720cm.

#

That would be the paris skull

#

Which is ALOT larger than Lolongs

#

And the ratio of head to body length increases with body size usually

gaunt storm
midnight moon
#

But i am getting offtopic sorry

#

😅

gaunt storm
#

No, you're fine

#

So, how about a 19ft GO Alligator?

midnight moon
#

Would be amazing

#

There even was a thorough description of how it looked too

#

Imma see if i can find it and share it later

#

But again take that specimen with a grain of salt

#

Because again, no physical evidence

gaunt storm
#

@midnight moon agree with this list?

#

Possible Scale types for Gators:
Common
Young
Orange
Piebald
Leucistic
Albino
Melanistic

midnight moon
#

Orange wasnt due to pigmentation but the others sit right

gaunt storm
#

Doesn't mean they can't add it

midnight moon
#

True

gaunt storm
#

Prolly won't though

#

"Young" i can imagine as a mission gator

#

One that escaped captivity

midnight moon
#

Allegedly this one was 18ft 2'

#

only?

midnight moon
#

If true

#

nah

#

tiny

#

Lel

#

it looks like someone just built him

#

like they put multiple tail pieces on him

gaunt storm
#

That looks like a perfectly normal gator tail to me

midnight moon
#

This is a saltie, roughly 17ft. Now imagine 18ft 2

#

yeah ik but they look liek it

midnight moon
midnight moon
#

@gaunt storm found the description of the alleged 19ft 2' gator

#

Again no physical evidence

#

So doubtful

gaunt storm
#

One thing is for sure

#

He wasn't wrong about that gator being old

#

As previously stated, since they are reptiles, they never stop growing

#

(Remind me to never give them the gift of immortality)

midnight moon
#

Well kinda

gaunt storm
#

They never shrink

midnight moon
#

At a certain age the growth gets so slow that it is not noticable at all

gaunt storm
#

Unlike mammals that do

midnight moon
#

A giant crocodilian doesnt have to be old either

#

A 40 year old saltie can be much bigger than a 100 year old one

gaunt storm
#

One that big prolly does

#

Given that it's a statistical outlier

#

Most are not anywhere near that big

midnight moon
#

Croc size is mostly genetics, food supply and epigenetics.

#

Not age

#

And ofc stress exposure

What animals will be on the new map I’ve pretty much predicted 4 of the remaining 4 to 5 animals those being the largest animals in the region being whitetail deer, feral hog, American alligator, and black bear, the remaining animals are anyone’s guess, holding on hope that the American beaver is on the roster.

Brumbies? Yeah. Bit controversial but yeah

They're certainly a conservation issue

#

Thinning herds is encouraged though because of genetic disease an interbreeding.. wild horses. Generally suffer from historic injuries too

gaunt storm
#

A less controversial equine would be zebras

#

Especially the plains, but the other two could work too

acoustic scarab
#

I would love to hunt plains zebra , also the albino would be pretty cool

gaunt storm
#

As a rare, they could also have that black with white spots

acoustic scarab
#

Yea , also the sable antelope are pretty cool don’t know if they are endangered or not tho

gaunt storm
#

And in the case of plains zebras, they can have two common variants: one with shadow stripes (mostly southern populations) and one without (mostly northern populations)

gaunt storm
#

Cause they are very endangered

acoustic scarab
#

I don’t think there’s enough player pressure for sable antelope lol

#

Really can’t wait for these alligators tho , I wonder if we will have to go for a head shot since that’s why way to kill them irl

gaunt storm
#

That's probably because not enough people know they exist lol

gaunt storm
acoustic scarab
#

I see everybody wanting teal in the new map but what about sand hill cranes that would be amazing

gaunt storm
#

The real question is whether or not you can shoot them in the water with bows, but not with guns

#

Sandhills would be cool

#

I realized that last night

#

They are tough birds notorious for trying to kill peoples' dogs

#

If they hit the ground wounded

acoustic scarab
#

Yea also considered filet mignon of the sky lol, a hunt I’ve always wanted to do irl honeslty

gaunt storm
#

I have shot one sandhill crane in my life

#

I wasn't even intentionally

#

hunting them, they just happened to fly over me when they were in season, and I had an appropriate weapon

#

Never realized how big they were until then

acoustic scarab
#

Is the eastern cottontail in game yet ?

gaunt storm
#

No

#

They might get added

#

Or some other cottontail

acoustic scarab
#

That’s what I’m thinking

gaunt storm
#

The second rabbit in the game, that would be

#

(all the others are hares)

#

Could be a swamp or marsh rabbit

#

Looking up their ranges, they might added either the eastern Cottontail or a Swamp Rabbit

Ribeye in the sky

I get sandhill cranes in my yard all the time

gaunt storm

You hoping for em too?

bitter badger
#

Would be very cool, definitely. They’re not legal to hunt in my state though

gaunt storm
#

They are in Texas

#

And on the Eastern side of Colorado

#

And in Oklahoma

bitter badger
#

Yep. I live in Florida and we have quite a few here, but no season for them. They were going to at one point I think, but then decided not to because they were worried about people shooting other cranes on accident

gaunt storm
#

Whooping cranes

#

White, 6 feet tall

#

Horrendously endangered

bitter badger
#

Yup

gaunt storm
#

I'm trying to see if you can hunt them in Louisiana

#

Then again, you can't hunt Bison in Colorado

#

We have them, but not huntably

bitter badger
#

True, they don’t follow the normal laws sometimes

gaunt storm
#

You're also not allowed to shoot across roads here

#

Or use a scope on your muzzleloader

bitter badger
#

Oh yeah the road one is a pretty serious one irl, would be very annoying in game lol

gaunt storm
#

Tracking dogs can only be deployed after you shot your game and require a leash

bitter badger
gaunt storm
#

Those are all the Colorado laws that are frequently violated on SRP

#

That I know of

bitter badger
#

Ah I see. Regardless of other species I’m pretty excited for alligators, always wanted to go on an alligator hunt

gaunt storm
#

There's also a 4-point bull rule, but I rarely see bulls that small. And with the amount of big bulls I see, I would think that SRP is located in a Game Management Unit where that rule doesn't apply

#

So am I

#

I also have so many questions

#

Different model sizes? (I hope)

#

Basking zones?

#

Will they swim?

bitter badger
#

Yeah different sizes would be awesome, I’d assume they’d swim but that also seems like a lot to add to the game so who knows

gaunt storm
#

If so, will there be realistic gun and bow water physics?

#

Water easily slows down/stops bullets, but not arrows

bitter badger
#

Maybe they’ll only swim on the surface, I feel like underwater swimming would cause a lot of trouble

gaunt storm
#

They might not need to "swim" underwater

#

They could just drop to the bottom

#

As their primary escape method I imagine

bitter badger
#

Oh true, I didn’t think of that

gaunt storm
#

And then go straight back up to the surface and resume swimming

#

In the case of a surface swim, that would still get in the way of chest shots, unless you have a bow.

#

Meaning only headshots would be viable with firearms when they are swimming

#

We're gonna need boats

#

If as much of the map is water as I think it is

#

That trailer made it look like mostly water with relatively few patches of dry land

bitter badger
#

Yeah boats will be super cool. Hoping for some duck hunting you can do from the boat too with decoys

gaunt storm
#

Would be nice

#

What ducks do you have in Florida?

#

Aside from mallards of course

bitter badger
#

I don’t know a ton about duck hunting to be honest. We have teal, wood duck, scaup, whistling duck, pintails that I can think of. There’s more, but I don’t know them off the top of my head

brittle agate
#

Hello guys, what weapon do you think you mess with the new map?

upbeat skiff
#

I personally hope for a 4 species roster like in Classic

#

Maybe Pintail, Wood Duck, American Wigeon, and Greenwing Teal

frail tusk
#

feel like they're prolly gonna reuse mallards

#

i'm guessing mallard, pintail, wood duck, and either green or blue winged teal

#

either that or mallard, pintail, gadwall, and black duck just like classic

bitter badger
#

Good enough for me, as long as they make the calling and stuff better than it is for them now

gaunt storm
#

Imagine someone pretends to be a skunk ape for the missions of this map

#

Would be perfect

waxen hull
stiff leaf
#

yes

opaque shard
#

Wait I dont get it, will we have the map first then the waterfowl rework??

stiff leaf
waxen hull
#

Doubt it I think their doing waterfowl re work as they do the map so they can add them

opaque shard
#

Does that mean that we are going to have the very "stale"and simple duck hunting..

waxen hull
#

I want then og cotw ducks

#

I hate these waterfowl that we have currently other than the geese

#

Ducks =🤮

#

Even though I love duck hunting

#

Just the ducks that we have rn aren’t good at all

uneven bloom
#

The ducks we have now are the only ducks that have ever been in the game?

opaque shard
#

Wdym

#

What has that have to do with it

uneven bloom
#

and the only thing wrong with the ducks right now is that their AI is broken.

opaque shard
#

Yes

uneven bloom
#

Devs already confirmed that the duck rework is coming early next year.

opaque shard
#

I dont want that on the new map though

uneven bloom
#

Which isn't that far off.

opaque shard
#

I guess we are not getting retrievers neither..

stiff leaf
#

whats bad about a new map?

opaque shard
#

Well the duck AI

#

I mean thats the only real concern

stiff leaf
#

that will be fixed later on

opaque shard
#

Either than that i dont really see anything bad about it

mighty dove
#

Whenever they do the rework, they can add in ducks later

opaque shard
#

But well i guess

#

But what do we think will be on the map then other than ducks and alligators?

stiff leaf
#

some form of deer, most likely whitetail

opaque shard
#

I mean we have to hunt something more if they would delay the ducks

#

Maybe we could see beavers and squirrels but i doubt it but it would be cool

#

Maybe raccoon and small game like that

raven juniper
#

What I've been thinking about is

#

They will add ducks with mechanics that are slightly tweaked from the ones we already have

#

That get a bit closer to what they want but not quite

#

And then early next year the rework can just tweak/overhaul every duck species proper

uneven bloom
#

ohhh that'd make sense

raven juniper
#

That's how I see it anyway~

#

Assuming ofc that new map does have ducks

uneven bloom
#

Did they?

midnight moon
#

Well I checked the playlist today and they updated it I feel we are getting that trailer tomorrow

Taking from the Unix seconds there, that's <t:1637074460:F>

stiff leaf
#

doesn;t it say that date on it

raven juniper
#

Ye

stuck crown
#

@opaque shard we could get American beavers, eastern turkey, definitely feral hogs.

opaque shard
#

We could always hope for beavers but I dont they would add two or more fairly "diffucult" animals to code than things like deer and hogs that we already have

upbeat skiff
#

Still vying for Nutria tbh

opaque shard
#

What

amber kiln
upbeat skiff
#

Oh there isn't at all

#

I just think that they seem like something the devs would add LOL

supple ledge
#

Pretty much a beaver

tacit current
#

i rly hope we get aoudad

upbeat skiff
#

... in Louisiana..?

tacit current
#

nah obviously not louisiana

#

im just saying in the game in general

#

and if the map is based off of texas we might get aoudad

#

but it will most likely be louisiana

uneven bloom
#

All hints are pointing toward Louisiana

tacit current
#

ye ik

#

ive been here for all of em

#

thats exactly why i said

#

"most likely"

#

actually its pretty much guaranteed to be louisiana

#

but i hope we get aoudad in the game at some point

celest star
tacit current
#

yeah those would be awesome to hunt

upbeat skiff
#

They had them on Gordon Ramsey's show and they actually look pretty fun to hunt 🤣

midnight moon
#

Nutria rats and then give us weasels

#

To hunt them with

mighty dove
#

I’m so hyped for tomorrow

#

yo sameeeeee

#

Eh

#

prolly gonna be boring no cap

My guess the first DLC (of 22) will be a retriever,while they develop the spring map and waterfowl rework, get the retrievers working properly in game then they'll release the "reworked" waterfowl which would probably the may/June or July/August (if youre on console) next major map DLC
