I am surprised that I am the first one making this post, as much as I hear about this issue in the community. I was Great One grinding on Rev, I was about 2700 kills in and my bucks just stopped respawning. Now before I made this post I made sure to check a few things. I have checked my entire map 10-12 times, the deer that are missing have not gone to another zone and I am not missing any zones. I have tried going to a different zone on the map and shooting a deer, when I reset the time and come back, that deer has not respawned either. I need my deer to come back from deer heaven and back to my map.

I have had it happen before. I'm on ps4, I'm not sure that it matters but it might. Even though I didn't have pressure on that lake I was killing so many deer I don't think the game could keep up. I went as far away as I could from my zones and killed some other stuff. I have 3 runs that I do instead of 2 and am hunting 15-20 zones total. Seems to help. I also think I killed a 1 herd deer that was mixed in with a bigger herd. Made a new zone that was a turd to find.
