Whitetail Antler Rework

[stark bison]

I am a avid player of this game it is the only game I play on my Xbox console, any time I can. However the whitetail deer model more specifically their antlers they are way to thing, they look more like twigs then antlers and they are splayed weirdly ways that you will never see in real life, I and many others feel that their should be a bit more mass and character added to some racks not all but some need a little more mass, and maybe stickers and nontipical points and such. And fix the thin wonky antlers,not the wonky part but they are just way to thin for a actual whitetail, this will be best added to the older deer or high scoring level 2's and 3's who in turn are bigger and older and had more time to grow.

Honestly they should do this and switch them from level 1-3 to levels 1-5 imo, it would give more options for antler variation for the smaller racks as well that way. Also would make way more sense for big whitetail in game to be more skittish than they are currently.

True, this will also allow grinders hm or what they do

Whitetail as a whole need a complete remaster. Despite being the world’s biggest whitetail hater, they deserve to look as good as the Mulies. Their current models are terrible and their racks aren’t much better.

It will be best for herd management.

I don’t even care about the herd management aspect but I guess good for the folks that do that, I just want the animals more accurately portrayed 😅

I completely agree.

Most definitely

"See antlers that you'd never see irl" thats the point of non typical racks and the "twigs" of antlers aren't all twigy there are antlers that are extremely bulky especially the great ones and even the ones that aren't great ones there are giants

[elfin bone]

I’m pretty sure he’s talking about racks like these (3 different deer I shot, the ones with the info showing are the same individual) which are far too common in game and not realistic at all or are pushing it with how common they are (giant G2s are way to common and have weird mass) , the diamonds and G1s don’t suffer as badly from it as the 1s and 2s

[rose aspen]

And people see deer like that all the time, atleast where I live

[elfin bone]

I’ve never seen a whitetail with a spread that flat ( same individual as the smaller buck with no info)

[rose aspen]

It happens irl due to the amount of what they get in their diet that can control antler growth,if they dont get enough then the antlers dont grow to their full extent,ive seen a few in Connecticut which is the state I live in at least im pretty sure thats what it is that causes it

[elfin bone]

Still should not be every other level 1

[rose aspen]

I hardly see level ones

[elfin bone]

That’s not much of an argument, additionally the ridiculously tall G2s are also way too common there should be more racks where they’re level, shorter, or only a smidge taller than the g3s

[rose aspen]

Its not an argument im just saying that its hardly see the level 1s so I dont notice it much

[stark bison]

Yes the splayed and thin ones need fixing

[glacial pier]

Two extremes...

[stark bison]

Exactly
