Birds not in the game

[obsidian patio]

Hello all,

I just would like to know if we will ever see the following bird species huntable in CotW:

Golden Plover
Grey Plover
Woodcock
Snipe
Jack Snipe
Fieldfare
Golden Pheasant
Turtle Dove
European Starling
Pintail
Shoveler
Gadwall
Rock Pigeon
Wood Pigeon
American Crow
Black-Billed Magpie
Blackbird
Mistle thrush
Song thrush
Redwing

I'm sorry if this was already posted or if some of the birds listed are already huntable in the game but so far I haven't come across any of these.

Edit: I removed those birds which are considered not huntable irl.

Happy New Year 🙂

Let me get this straight,you want to hunt Birds of Prey????

[copper flicker]

I think hunting eagles is illegal. But I wouldn't mind like Pintails, I would re-read the list for actually irl huntable species.

[pseudo comet]

Of the 40 something birds I counted,I recognized 24 that are completely off limits for hunting,24.I think you need to revise this list

[jagged tangle]

There are Game Birds and normal birds, many of those you name are normal birds.
Only Game Birds can be shot, other birds are considered wildlife and cannot be shot.

[obsidian patio]

Yes, there are countries where you can hunt birds of prey

[obsidian patio]

Off limits for some countries not for all though

[pseudo comet]

For example????

Just because you can doesn’t mean it’s right.Birds of Prey aren’t in excess.

[obsidian patio]

I know Egypt for sure

[pseudo comet]

Egypt doesn’t even have big game hunting!

[obsidian patio]

In my country we have birds of prey but we can't hunt them Birds of prey aren't in excess irl but what does it have to do with a game? This is a hunting game, it's not like you're really hunting them.

[pseudo comet]

Because Being in Excess gives a reason to hunt them.

Egypt Has Boar Hunting From What I’ve Heard

[obsidian patio]

I know people who went to Egypt and they were allowed to hunt birds of prey. I'm not talking about big game hunting.

[pseudo comet]

If there is little to none big game,nobody will want to play that reserve,making it not worth it in the slightest to make.

[static rune]

Permitted by who, the government? If the person who gave them permission wasn't clearly a government employee, it probably wasn't legal

[pseudo comet]

Is that really enough for the COTW player base though??? I’d say no,look at Rancho.

[obsidian patio]

I'm not talking about a new reserve, I made my post purely as the birds in the list, which I have edited, are not in the game.

[pseudo comet]

You brought up Egypt so we were talking about Egypt.

[merry vector]

I Think The Playerbase Needs To Understand That Not Everyone Has The Same Interests When It Comes To Hunting. Each Map Needs A Variety Of Game, Both Large And Small.

[obsidian patio]

I can't say about the Egyptian government my knowledge is only based on what I've heard from people who went to Aswan or Fayum.

[pseudo comet]

But there isn’t a variety of game in Egypt,it’s Pigeon,maybe Duck, perhaps Dove,maybe if it’s possible Boar.

[obsidian patio]

I mentioned Egypt since it's one the countries that came to my mind

[pseudo comet]

And Egypt would require a whole new reserve.

[obsidian patio]

My post was based on birds which are not in the game and when most of you stated that most names listed in the list were off limits I edited my post to reflect only those birds which are huntable irl.

Who hunts thrushes and crows? I haven't heard of that

[obsidian patio]

In my country thrushes are huntable, we don't have crows and I don't know if there are places where you can hunt crows if crows are considered not huntable I will remove them from the list as well

[static rune]

I looked it up and in america some people hunt crows

[obsidian patio]

What about Sandhill cranes? I know that in Texas they hunt them for their meat famous for the "ribeye of the sky"

[stuck thunder]

I used to live in Egypt, and as far as I know, only some birds are allowed to be hunted. At one point, it was possible to hunt gazelles in the Sinai, but this is no longer the case.
