Playthrough Strategy Tips. Don't run unless you are travelling between locations. (ATV is also great for this).

Running will spook any animals that are close by. Running/walking on the roads is quieter than running/walking in the vegetation. Wearing a backpack increases your visibility and noise levels significantly. Don't use callers too often.

It spooks the animals. ATV's are useful but they do scare animals. Having your flaslight on at night does not spook the animals or increase your visibility level. Keep you weapon loaded.

There is nothing worse than having an animal nearby and you can't shoot it. And it can be handy if there's a bear nearby. Hunting pressure. When you down an animal a purple spot appears on your map at the place you shot it. It roughly takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to appear. No shot = no kill.

The pinker/purpler the spot the more chances of animals avoiding the area. Best to move around.RosetheSilver, Jun 25, 2018.

Originally posted by VonStreed:I just wandered around for 2-3 hours. I heard plenty of calls but only once did calling back actually draw any towards me. I have tried creeping towards calls too and it seems like by the time I get there the animal has moved and gone silent. I was crawling or prone like 90% of the time. Am I worrying abount noise too much and missing them by going too slow? I found fresh droppings and tried tracking the animal only for it to lead me to another resting spot with very old droppings?!

You can walk untill you hear a warning call. Try not to walk trough bushes and watch your ui thingey to see how much noice you make.if you see an animal and it doesn't see you.

Try creeping up to it trough the bushes.start in layton lake. It's the easiest reserve for beginners.look up the maps from xi law in the forum to know where to find animals.use your binoculars.if you are calling animals in.

Make sure first to be hidden and you need to know where the animals will come from.hope this helped. Originally posted by VonStreed:I just wandered around for 2-3 hours.

There definitely seems to be more animals but I shot two deer and am trying to track them down (could have sworn my shots were good. I get decent hits at the range but animals seem to be nearly immune to my fing rounds) but as I am walking around looking for the bood trail the game sporadicaly stops highlighting the tracks and my PDA doesn't show them on the mini map which is super awesome.

Is this a known bug? Not very fun running around for 45 minutes trying to spot blood trails that wont highlight in the fing dark! Do the trails run cold after a while and stop highlighting or something? Seriously close to refunding this crap. Originally posted by:Great. Took your advice and went to the other reserve.

Thanks for the help everyone.I am trying for spine shots but I must have missed and hit a fleshy part of the neck. I have been chasing this thing down for ever now managed to drop a doe i stumbles upon while looking for the buck i wounded so that is a plus.I have the light on. The blood trail usually glows a blueish color when you track, but they weren't glowing at all, not always showing on the PDA or the map.

I verified the game files and restarted. I can see the glow now, however there was no audio for animal calls or my rifle shots for about 5-10 minutes after I jumped back into the game.

And even though I can now track the animals again the visual direction of the hoof prints and the cone that highlights the possible direction of where the animal went often contradict each other so I am left wondering if I should follow the direction the hoof prints went or just explore in the direction of the cone.

If an animal knows they are being tracked, they will stop and turn to see if they can get a visual. When they do this, tracks are also left in the opposite direction.

If you highlight this track, of course it will appear that the animal has changed direction. In most cases, the animal will turn back and continue in the original direction.

They might do this multiple times. They might also change direction altogether.

What makes this really hard is that the highlighted tracks are so spaced out. This is how it is in real life, and also in the game.So if you lose the track, start circling, and keep making circle bigger until you find the track again. Originally posted by:A quick tip i in pretty much all my youtube videos. Shoot for neck and spine and you will get a lot more animals drop on the spot. Lungs often on bigger animals results in a lot of tracking. But if you connect to bones in spine or neck they drop.

Bigger animals run a little, but way less than lung shot.:-) I usually try to get spine shots with the starter rifle and ammo but I sometimes miss the spine and the bleed rate for a neck shot in my experience has been very low. I have gone on forever trying to track them down and some I never found. Seems like a lung shot is an easier target and although they run they don't get far. Gonna try out the polmer tips and see if that helps with lung/heart shots.

Way easier to hit.
