When I kill an animal on one side of a body or water, and it runs into the water and dies I have to wait on it to float back to me and most of the time that will take longer than it would take to run around the lake and/or fast travel to a tent. It also uses up time in the drinking zone I could be using for that diamond or great one I’m hunting.

That's life when you hunt by water. The 'float to you' is already silly, but necessary. We don't need harvests motorboating across the water like a jet ski.

As far as I can tell, it floats to you, wherever you are. Best that way. I don't want to chase around the entire lake looking for my harvest. I'm in no tearing hurry, and better not to further scare the critters. The only ones that seem to care are 'grinders' and frankly I have no sympathy over them having to wait a little.

It's also noisier. I'm in no hurry, and I would rather stand still and wait than have to hike. It's also not like everything I shoot by water ends up floating. Maybe 1 in 5.

It doesn’t seem like it will happen unfortunately
