#Hunting at Long Range and the Power of Calls

As we all know, render distance is limited due to the engine but that doesn’t mean long range hunting can’t be done! Elk hunting is done with calls infact it’s really the only caller hunting I can think of other than coyote hunting. Elk hunting utilizes calls at ranges of up to 800yds.

Update to the mechanics

• Instead of animals moving directly to the player, have them come within a certain radius.
• Increase caller range where it makes sense, like for elk, predator calls, and the E-Call

With this I’d like elk and possibly even coyotes to get a similar mechanic to wolves. At the moment wolves howl but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll give you a prompt to check the call. A similar thing could be applied to the elk’s bugle. Alongside that I want the new mechanic to make it so anytime you hear that bugle you’ll be able to blow the call and possibly get a vocal response.

Yes! Same with Moose for me, when I watch people IRL hunt for them they call and the Moose can hear from a thousand yards, as well as just some improvements to the sounds of calls. Mule Deer are the worst, like what even is that sound?

I'd love to be able to sit on a ridge and bugle for elk or call for moose and have a much longer distance to be able to draw them in from.

I did a nice hog hunting session on Mississippi today and it definitely needs the ambience of distant pigs + callers being actually usable.

Yukon and SRP really suffer from the close range/drink zone centric gameplay😔

Hey, for something like this they'd need to make all the ammo for rifles effective at 200m minimum. There'd be no point in making the calls better if the guns can't reach at least that far

This is one of those Ideas that needs more attention ... Great Idea ... Would love to call certain animals from longer distance ....

but then you'd have to wait a while not knowing if the animal is even coming. or how long and how close. maxium should be 400 meters
