Black bears won’t come to morning drink time

[lilac pebble]

My black bears aren’t coming to my morning drink time even though I’ve shot them and they should have respawned they are just disappearing

Hello @lilac pebble

Please note that animals do not respawn instantly, and they do not always spawn at the same location. If the hunting pressure near your black bear drink zones was high, the new drink zone they are using might have spawned somewhere else in the reserve.

If you find that the drink zones do not work properly or the bears do not behave as intended, please attempt to capture the problem on a video and send it to us in a ticket submitted through this portal: https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I’ve killed many bears and been looking for respawns for days and haven’t found any of them

I’ve been hunting Black bear on SRP since the update (Xbox Series S). Here’s what I’m overseeing, so far. Some bears are moving to morning drink time, a lot in different locations. However, I am still getting a lot of respawns at the night drink time. Sometimes in the same location, sometimes not. Is there a way to prevent the nighttime respawns and force the move?

I thought this might be fun, at first. Now I have no desire to do this with black bear on all the maps.

i have the same problem i shot all my bear at the night zone and got them to the day zone and now over 500 kills in to my grind and they won't spawn back

I just hope they do a pop reset because of these bugs

so i can't play bc of this bug

This was never going to work.

I'm not a grinder so i just deleted my pop files for maps with BB, not checked the respawns yet, but on Layton it was weird, because the first time i've deleted it the pressure was gone, some of the need zones were gone but most of them where still there... so i deleted again and opened the game again...
bear zones icons are gone but some of the other animal icons are still there, so who knows...

the idea of not not having a pop reset is good and has a lot of potential, i personally don't care, 150 hours into the game 0 and 0
and that is counting mission animals

Nice option for PC players.

[raw portal]

true, and sad it is only for PC players =/
dunno how save files work on console, but pop reset makes even more sense on console...
again, i say this as a non grinder, opinion may differ for grinders

[sleek kestrel]

Non grinder here too. I just heard that ALL bear species times are changed so going to check that out.
