Canadian 🇨🇦 Map Snowbluff pass hunting reserve

[cerulean scaffold]

#maps Snowbluff pass hunting reserve brings some of Canada’s most iconic species into the Hunter call of the wild. The map will introduce 7 new species and it will also have 7 in-game species . The map also brings in a new weapon which is the 30-06 Springfield.

With the map comes the new species the first of which is the Snow shoe hare the snow shoe hare will be found all over the map But the maple forests will be where the highest density of them are.

Another species that would be found on the reserve is the Californian quail they will be spotted mostly in forests around the open plains where in earl hours you will hear there call and potential spot them in the clearings and plains among the reserve

The next species is one unique duck. The northern shoveler can be found in the marshes and ponds of the reserve where they will be using their unique bill to feed.

Then we have another species of ducks the northern pintail, the most popular duck to hunt on the reserve, They can’t be found from the lakes scattered around the reserve to the river.

The map will also introduce the all cunning and extremely elusive wolverine similar to the tigers the wolverine will have a reduced population on the reserve there will be roughly 25 wolverines on the map at one given time, the wolverine can be found all over this reserve.

The map will also introduce the dall sheep which can mostly be found in the higher mountainous regions of the reserve with there impressive curls these are one of the most sought after species on the reserve.

The final new species found on this map will be the musk ox these impressive creatures can be found in the opener parts of the reserve where they can run or charge from predators and players, one of the more popular species is this magnificent beast.

The other species on the reserve are the
Gray wolf
Canadian goose
Plains bison
Reindeer
The moose
Red fox
grizzly bear.

I plan to make another one of these so leave a idea below

Underrated?

[hollow arrow]

Wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of this stuff on the summer map.

[cerulean scaffold]

Hopefully personally I think a map like this would be sick but maybe it would need to have a few species that are already in game removed as to not overshadow Yukon

[hollow arrow]

No, I welcome anything that leads to remastered Grizzly and Caribou.

[cerulean scaffold]

Same but the other species I wouldn’t be sure

[hollow arrow]

I also like the idea of a present but limited wolverine population.

[cerulean scaffold]

Was going to put black tail on the list but they aren’t present where the map is based also for the wolverines I think it would be best is they didn’t have a large population so you couldn’t just find them like in 3 seconds similar to real life but obviously not as rare

[dull iris]

What province or territory though?

[cerulean scaffold]

the part of Canada where musk ox are at the most southern and bison are at their most northern slightly overlapping

[honest vapor]

Little too similar to Yukon, no?

[viscid girder]

Can I suggest the Tikka T3x Arctic in .338 Federal?

[cerulean scaffold]

There isn’t much difference you can make between a Canadian map and an Alaskan bit I think I tried to make them as different as possible.

[cerulean scaffold]

I was thinking a calibre that would be used on the dall sheep and wolverines

[viscid girder]

.338 federal is a .308 cartridge case with a .33 caliber bullet stuffed into it. Easily a better 4-9 than 7mm but not as strong as the .338 Lapua Magnum supposedly in game

[cerulean scaffold]

ok

[restive dock]

California Quail do not live in Northern Canada at all

The only parts of Canada they are found in is Southwestern British Columbia near the US Border

[honest vapor]

There’s a ton you can do

For example

[cerulean scaffold]

Sundarpatan wouldn’t have tigers and snow leopards in the same map then.

[restive dock]

Nepal is a much smaller country then Canada

Also Bengal Tigers have been recorded at elevations as high as 13,800 feet in the Himalayan Mountains of nearby Bhutan and 10,384 feet in elevation in Eastern Nepal

In general tigers can live at higher elevations then is expected

To summarize, having tigers and snow leopards on a reserve set in Nepal is not the same as putting a bird that is found in the warmer Pacific Coast on the same reserve as Muskox, an animal well adapted for life on the tundra

[cerulean scaffold]

Recorded at elevations what high does not mean they regularly stay in that region

[restive dock]

As far as tigers and snow leopards on Sundarpatan, they live at different elevations anyways
And its far more realistic then California Quail in Northern Canada or Eurasian Wigeon on a reserve in Southern Africa (Vurhonga)

Plus Northern Canada is home to Rock Ptarmigan, Willow Ptarmigan and 3 Species of Grouse
• Ruffed Grouse
• Spruce Grouse
• Sharp-tailed Grouse

Spruce Grouse & Ruffed Grouse are far more iconic Canadian game birds then California Quail simply because the two grouse species are found across the country

[hollow arrow]

I get a kick out of seeing tigers chasing sheep in the higher elevations.

[cerulean scaffold]

I can delete the post if a grouse being too far north really means that much

[restive dock]

You don't need to delete a post over some criticism, but if you want to change out the quail for the grouse, you can simply edit your post, I've edited several of my own post many times

[honest vapor]

Nepal is not a wide country by any means. It drastically shifts from the Terai lowlands and high Himilayas. Tigers and Snow leopards being on the same map is a whole different thing.

Why Infact I drive the almost the same distance of Nepal North to South almost daily going to and from work.

[cerulean scaffold]

wow

[cerulean scaffold]

Yes I might make improved Canadian map soon with a layout of the map itself got any suggestions to which landscape it should be based

[honest vapor]

It’s like 50 miles lol

[cerulean scaffold]

oh never mind I did think Nepal was larger than it was

[honest vapor]

Nepal is just long (east to west)

[cerulean scaffold]

Any map suggestions I should make a feedback page on

[dull iris]

Would there be a new great one to go along with the map?

[cerulean scaffold]

Yes most likely the great one plains bison or potentially gray wolf or maybe the new wolverine which one would you like to see most and I will make fur designs

[dull iris]

Plains bison for sure. On the topic of bison, would there not be wood bison instead? I know there are some wood bison populations in Canada.

Sketched and colored this a while back. Not a great one, just a normal wood bison.

[cerulean scaffold]

Maybe but I think it would be better if they are plains bison since they can also be grinded on srp and Yukon aswell

[dull iris]

I mean I have a plains bison grind on SRP, and it is pretty OP since they are only in the plains area of the map.

[cerulean scaffold]

Silver ridge will probably be the go to map but the way I see this map being layer out is the highlands have the musk ox and such and the lower/ middle portion of the map has the plains bison which will inhabit the logged forests and opener marshy salt plains

Also nice drawing like how you included all the scores on the horns

[dull iris]

You know what, I like creating fictional maps. You can describe what you want the map to look like and where the different biomes should generally be, and I can create you a map to go along with the entire post when I send it to you after completion. If you want though, and if you get what I’m saying, describe it.

[cerulean scaffold]

Sure if you don’t mind I can just do a rough sketch for you

[dull iris]

Sure

[cerulean scaffold]

I can just translate what it all means the right/portions of the high part of the map is where the plains with sparse trees are hence why the lines the left side of the map is the part which was reduced to having logs and large trees still fallen over cluttered around from logging companies which were pretty much just cancelled around the time parque fernando was released which is why there is still clutter but the forest is starting to grow back. Then the bottom portions of the map is the forested parts still having clearings here and there where the top of the map on the left is the maple forest 🍁

[dull iris]

8km x 8km right?

[cerulean scaffold]

Also I should add the lakes if the map was actually ingame would be much smaller or there would be more and also I don’t know if this is just me but I live it when the river connects to a lake

[cerulean scaffold]

Yes if that is the average

[dull iris]

Ok. So, I do topography maps to show elevation, and I shade spots where there is water. I don’t necessarily draw the trees on the map and show the dark and light spots to have depended on how it would look from the sky in black and white. Instead, I shade in a specific way to show water bodies, and I shade in another way to show elevation. Something like this (an old map I made):

[cerulean scaffold]

sure I just wanted to say all the details in case you needed them

[dull iris]

Not your map but an old one to give an example

[cerulean scaffold]

That’s sick

[dull iris]

I’ll start working on one for you. It’ll take at least a week.

[cerulean scaffold]

Ok thanks so much I’m gonna hop off for the night as it’s almost AM for me

[dull iris]

So here is the realism problem of which makes me question what a reserve map would look like; more specifically how the terrain would be for the animals. If there were to be dall sheep (referring to your animal list above), then there would have to be huge, stoney, arid mountains. For the waterfowl, marshes like you said. Flat taiga for the muskoxen. An average 8 x 8km reserve would not be able to consist of such terrains because of the differences between those terrains. As for the animals themselves, there doesn’t seem to be a place on earth where all of the species in your species list live together in an 8 x 8km area. The map pics above show the ranges of Dall sheep (green), plains bison (dark brown[light brown is wood bison]), and muskox (purple). I suggest major changes to your reserve plan.
