Animals - Animal spawns are ridicules. I can go for hours without seeing anything, this happens way too often. There needs to be more animals that spawn. And when I do hear something, they somehow always get spooked no matter what I do.
I also would like a setting on how aggressive the animals are... Sometimes, I want a bear to charge me so I can smoke it with an arrow. No way should every time I hear a vocalization of a grizzly bear its "fleeing". I should see "aggressive", and if I don't start booking it, I better be ready for a fight. Elks and Mooses are nothing to mess with in real life. They should at times be aggressive. Allow a setting for this, that way if someone does not like it, it can be changed. A western capercaillie should not be the most aggressive animal in the game! There should be a number of animals that will attack you, more than just a crocodile and wolves. Lions, pumas, bobcat, bears and many others.
Animals need to be more vocal! I should not be walking and the first thing I hear is a "fleeing" vocal. (Yes, scent eliminator is on, I'm NOT downwind, and I am NOT trucking through the woods like a scared white girl running from her killer!)
When they do vocalize, they need to do it more. Sometimes they are good, but most of the time they do it once, I follow as stealthily as I possibly can, next thing I know its fleeing.
I feel the animals are way to skidish. I can't get close to any small game. Before I know it, they get spooked and run. I also should not be spooking animals 300 plus yards away. I should not have to crouch towards them for 20 minutes, trying to get a better shot just to hear "fleeing".
I know there are tracking arrows but allow tracking bullets as well. This would solve some of the other problems I mention later on.

Not seeing animals is on you. They are everywhere so I can’t think of any way you don’t find any
Only way I can think of is either sitting in a tree stand waiting for something to walk out but you’re just in a terrible spot or flying around on an atv
I just read a lot of skill issues...
There are more than 3000 or 3500 animals on each map, but you must reveal the entire map to have them all present. If you walk along a single path and do not reveal the rest, nothing will appear. The animals generally do not move or appear in dark areas. without revealing...
Animals have senses, sight, hearing and smell, if you run but in the middle of the forest or on leaves you will make a lot of noise, the same if you are against the wind. The detection range of the animals depends on their level of difficulty, the higher it is, the greater the distance at which it will detect, as long as you are facing one side of them, if you are behind them you can walk towards them and literally you jump on his back...
There is also a combination of ambush skills that make you almost invisible to the point of being able to get up to 15 meters crouching, or be invisible while crouching in a bush...
This game is already too easy, it doesn't need to be made easier..
I need to know what I am doing wrong, because I do not have that same experience. As stated, in my post, scent eliminator is on, I am not downwind, and I am not running through the woods. I am crouched and not stepping on branches…
do you just crouch around the entire map / area you're hunting?
Use zones to you’re advantage
Pretty much, if not. I am walking and once I get to about 500 yards from a spot I want I then crouch.
I never seem to have luck with those when trying. I will set up a blind about 100 yards away from one, get in there around 10 minutes before the time and wait… and wait… and wait some more. Don’t hear a thing.
Forget the blinds. Go to a different map, set the time to 35 minutes after a zone starts, go back to the map and run around the water’s edge of lakes and rivers that can have that particular species
I will definitely try it!!!
500 yards? you can run up to about like 200 yards and not spook anything
Not on my game… If I get that close without crouching, “fleeing” is all I see!
