Tiger 🐅

[noble plover]

As far I know tigers don’t live in Africa?

[fleet kindle]

Sorry you said hunting tigers in the savannah? If you're referring to Vurhonga, there's no tigers that live in Africa

[fast mauve]

First off, your wrong about cougars being endangered. Secondly: Lions can be hunted in 7 countries.

[turbid flume]

Why tho?

[fleet kindle]

Dang you beat me to it

[manic torrent]

🙄

[turbid flume]

Mabye as part of a story you get attacked and have to kill one, like that old Cabela's hunting game. But not a very realistic animal to grind 😅

[noble plover]

That actually very nice idea

[fleet kindle]

Why are you rolling your eyes at me lmao

[manic torrent]

I still don't understand why COTW Owners/Devs doesn't want to add endangered animals

[manic torrent]

Why not? Why are you laughing?

[fleet kindle]

Because you're apparently mad at me for saying tigers don't live in Africa, a well known fact

[manic torrent]

Im not mad

[turbid flume]

Chill bro all just ideas, that's it

[noble plover]

Because it is mostly hunter simulator, there is no one who hunts tigers or endangered animals in reality except for poachers.

[fleet kindle]

I am chill tho?

I would only be okay with Tigers in a Hunting Game if it was set in the time period where Tiger Hunting was legal which would the pre-1970s and I would even go so far as to set said game in between the 1940s & the 1950s (Tiger Hunting and hunting in general was banned in India in the early 70s)

[turbid flume]

This ⏫

[turbid flume]

Ya I wonder how they could do that

[fast mauve]

Well having time period appropriate weapons would be the start

[kind spade]

Suggests hunting one of the most endangered animals in the world
says they should be in a place where they don’t even live
gets surprised when people don’t like his suggestion

[kind spade]

Because they don’t want to promote hunting endangered animals or hunting illegally (poaching). It’s that simple

[fast mauve]

Whenever people get told that they seem to immediately point to European Bison or Lion (and in the case of this post: Cougar)

[kind spade]

European bison were cleverly set up in a way that is not only believable but also ethical; they were initially protected in the reserve and weren’t able to be hunted, which meant their population got out of control and now they let people hunt them to get their numbers down

Lions were only added post-launch to Vurhonga because it got review bombed for not having them initially

[unique wagon]

If you mean Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2, then the only weapon you had was a tranq rifle. you also tranq'd Indian rhinos but that doesn't make them trophy animals

[fast mauve]

Well as I seem to mention a lot, Lion are legal to hunt in several countries

[unique wagon]

Leopards would be a really cool addition to Vurhonga and future African maps tho

[kind spade]

Plus, lions are currently in vulnerable status and European bison are near threatened with their numbers rising exponentially due to conservation efforts. Which makes both species above the vulnerable threshold that EW wants to stay above + both are legal to hunt

[fast mauve]

Yeah, all the Cabelas games that had tigers also forced us to use tranq guns on them, though the 2009 Dangerous Hunts allowed us to gun down striped hyena and guar with a regular gun

[unique wagon]

ngl, it was fun to track tigers, pop them, and then have to run before they killed you lol

[kind spade]

Personally I’ll never be on board with hunting elephants, rhinos, giraffes or tigers. I don’t understand why people want to hunt animals that have less than 1000 individuals left in the wild

[fast mauve]

Supposedly that is why chimpanzees are not usually tranquilized when they go crazy

[fast mauve]

The South African Giraffe and the Angolan Giraffe (the 2 that are hunted) have the highest populations with an estimated 13,000 for the Angolan and over 30,000 for the South African

[kind spade]

Iirc the only reason their numbers are that high is because they’ve gotten some of the most intense conservation efforts in the world

[unique wagon]

Giraffe are only vulnerable so we could hunt them (don't have any idea why thou, I just don't see it as a food source) and elephants are legal to hunt in several places, but i literally have a suggestion about how stupid it is to think that elephants are the only reason for a second African map

[kind spade]

The people that say that they won’t play on a second Africa map if it doesn’t have elephants make me laugh. Trust me, I’ve seen plenty in this server alone

Besides, I personally don’t find elephants and giraffes nearly as impressive or interesting as the species we already have in-game. They just happen to be really big, we already have plenty of large animals to hunt

[unique wagon]

Right? I would take any map in Africa (as long as they keep the fucking ducks quiet, because holy shit i'm tired to hearing them on Vurhonga)

[meager forge]

What is this suggestion

[kind spade]

I dont know Shawty!! It’s the standard “hey I want hunt endangered animal because lion exist in game and is endangered”

[fast mauve]

My main want for Africa 2.0 is to make sure that whichever country they base it on has the correct animal species, I don’t wanna see another “Eurasian Wigeon on the same map as Springbok” again

[meager forge]

Yeah who hunting tigers man lmao

[fast mauve]

My solution to that is to have a hunting game set inbetween 1945 and 1970

[kind spade]

A hunting game set in the mid-late 1900s would be fucking sick

[meager forge]

We need black bellied whistling duck ok vurhonga not the stupid wigeon, also Intresting I like that idea

[unique wagon]

I want an African map with Hippos, hyenas, leopards, sable, eland, impala, and some smaller animals from the tiny ten

[kind spade]

I initially really wanted scimitar oryx on another Africa map but then I found out it was extinct in the wild

[meager forge]

I wish we had addax but they are way 2 endangered

[fast mauve]

The only place where Scimitar-horned Oryx and Addax could work in COTW is Texas

[unique wagon]

Texan game ranches are raising and releasing them in the wild, if we could get a map with a tranq rifle it could be fun

[kind spade]

Not that it matters but OP went and upvoted their own post💀

[meager forge]

I live in Texas, bro it’s the perrrfect NA map, stop picking places like New England and pick Texas we could have the highest animal variety in Texas than in any other map.

[fast mauve]

Well the highest upvoted North American reserve is my Canadian Arctic Reserve

[kind spade]

I’m working on a Texas Game Ranch reserve suggestion right now actually. Just gotta finish up the map layout

[meager forge]

I’ll make a Texas suggestion? Awesome by the way im gonna make one still, I’ll be happy to check yours out, I live down in Houston and I get the lay of the land everywhere, I also hunt irl so I know what’s coolest for a Texas reserve.

[unique wagon]

I gotta ask, you guys know much about Africa's Tiny Ten? They astound me considering the sheer amount of massive predatory animals in Africa and yet they'd all be easily taken with a .22lr (and it would be a faster, kinder death than anything else they'd get) I mean, an adult blue duiker male just weighs like 8 pounds

[fast mauve]

You could do a lot with Texas, the closest thing I’ve made to a Texas Reserve is a reserve set in the Chihuahuan Desert
