Layton Lakes Species Overhaul

[tropic thistle]

The Layton Lake District is one of the base game maps in COTW. This map used to be very fun to hunt on, but as time as gone on, it has gotten more barren, and an updated list of species could help turn it back into a fun map.

Layton Species Roster
-Mourning Dove, Class 1
-Brant, class 1
-American Coot, class 1
-Mallard, class 1
-Sage Grouse, class 1
-Mountain Quail, class 1
-Gray Partridge, class 1
-Merriam Turkey, class 1
-Blacktail Jackrabbit, class 1
-Coyote, class 2
-Racoon, class 2
-Blacktail Deer, class 4
-Whitetail Deer, class 4
-Mountain Goat, class 4 -Gray Wolf, class 5
-Bighorn Sheep, class 5
-Cougar, class 5
-Black Bear, class 7
-Roosevelt Elk, class 7
-Moose, class 8

For the animals that were already in the map but look weird, like Whitetail, Blacktail, Roosevelt Elk, etc, a model update would really help. During Halloween, there could be an event animal like the werewolves in classic, but similar to Gray Wolves. Since Layton is one of the base maps, it should have some of the best quaility, but it almost has the worst. I hope you like this, have a good day

In my opinion raccoons need to be a mix between class 1 and 2 or just be clas 1

Also I thought about this as Fun Idea!
-Gray Wolf, Class 6 Halloween Event Exclusive think of like the Werewolves from Classic But Instead are Actual Wolves and not Cryptids!
Not to mention right before Yukon was Announced sometimes you could hear Wolves howling in the Distance on Layton!

I like that idea.

Nice, well then add them and the event to the List!

They released as class 1 and the community hated it which is why they’re class 2 now. also trying to reliably get a vital hit on them when they were class 1 with the class 1 weapons was very difficult (you pretty much had to use the hornet/wasp/yellowjacket or one of the shotguns though penetration wasn’t/isn’t reliable on birdshot, so that meant you had 1 single rifle and bows as your only option to hunt them and that hasn’t really changed for weapons as far as I’m aware.

The regualr .22 does fairly well ive done broad Side shots on raccoons before and it at least gets single lung so thats an okay by me

[ruby stratus]

Lotta folks like to hunt em with the .223 or similar calibers irl so that was a complaint at the time as well

[solar galleon]

To be fair for a good while before the .223 ar the basegame .223 had terrible accuracy and were very buggy for penetration or so it seemed
