I still stand by the idea that bow hunting will change this game for you, especially if you're getting sick of it. Having to be so patient and strategic about how you approach the game will make every stalk and kill feel rewarding. Every time I've been burnt out on this game has been when I could just shoot whatever I wanted without really thinking about it. Every now and then, everyone should just bring a bow and the .22. It will make you love the game again.

[@stealhunting1403]

Amen I’ve been playing this game since it came out. The day I got the bow in the game that’s what I hunted with I think it’s so refreshing

[@alexanderfaber-rod7372]

Wtf im finding it hard to get into because of how hard it is and you can just run around huh?

[@keithsimpson2685]

I been playing iron sight muzzle loader. Even less chance for a followup but a nice wallop as i'm new.

[@wigglytuffgaming]

@@alexanderfaber-rod7372 yes lol. Literally sprint and shoot.

[@rachelsmith9697]

@@alexanderfaber-rod7372 there are a lot of upgrades that make the game easier like reducing your noise and such it just takes experience, you can cheat in experience if you don't wanna grind for hours

why are the three biggest COTW producers all hunting diamond lions with the bow?

me: mild heart attack every time something growls or snarls YOU : let me just stand next to this lion and look at the white of his eyes

[@Thecircustapes]

When you've hunted them enough you get used to it also the chance of them going agressive (in my personal experience) is low and ive shot them quite close

[@rodneya9022]

Hey flinter these bow hunt videos should be a series, idk if you already have one but if you don’t it’d be cool.

[@pirulas]

Why doesn't this channel have a million subs?🤔

[@Corzappy]

It’s more of a low key game. Variety channels usually are the ones to gain lots of popularity, but channels that stick to one game will slowly gain or lose followers depending on how popular the game is.

Will’s Hunting And Fishing You’re not too shabby yourself. Checked out your channel. Mind giving me tips on wolf hunting? Last time I hunted em they just jumped me and killed me. Avoided em ever since. Any suggestions? And yes, I am talking about gray wolves.

[@LoveJesus707]

Mr Manga yes I do have some tips if you wanna find the wolves drinking by lakes there drink zone is 0:00 to 03:00 and this is an easy way to find them you can also find them by just going to the outpost I’m in on my video and just walking around and sometimes you will get confronted by those gray wolves and then again sometimes not and I normally walk around the burnt forest and spot them and sometimes get attack and I start this at 7 to 9 in the morning up to anywhere around 3

[@LoveJesus707]

Mr Manga one more thing thanks for the support it’s people like you who I hope I get for my subscribers thanks very much man!

[@quinx5251]

Will’s Hunting And Fishing No no, thank you, thank you for being the very few people that actually help out a beginner like me in cotw.

Ikr I really hard to hit them cause an arrow moves slower than a bullet

Yesterday, messed up a Legendary Iberian Wolf, never been so sad in my life. He fled and I had to go to bed.

Was minding my own business checking out the local Gemsbock the other day. I heard a distant roar, thought it was the Springboks having a party again. Suddenly there was the thudding of an animal running closer. I turned toward it and there's this Lion charged up on me, roaring and being all pushy. I paused and said, "Ummm, yeah naw, I told you to stop trying to bite my backside you big Tabby!". 7 meters in the bean with the 300 got me right back to finding Gemsbuck unencumbered again. I love this game🤪

[@francesjones3270]

Good job

[@sharedgoblin560]

I have had one get aggressive. It is scary stuff my friend. Especially at night

[@tupcho33]

When it comes to lions, the rest zones seems to be good and accurate and the lions go there and just lay there

[@GatorMike79]

They go aggressive when they're out to kill you but you just happen to be in a tripod so they can't get to you

[@unionmark543]

Epic

[@Skinny_hooper]

Comping back to this video after bow hunting lions myself it’s really fun but nerve wracking especially when you’re no using a tripod and when you get too close

[@Flintergaming]

It’s definitely a thrill!

Hey Flinter, just want to say cheers, managed to shoost my first Albino today, along with my first diamond, a Plains Bison and a Harlequin respectively, cheers for the tips

About a week ago I set out a tent near a lion drink zone late in the evening. Went and laid down in the tent to go deal with some Amazon deliveries and what not. Came back about 30 minutes later, it’s now dark and there is a lion growling right on top of me. Can’t see anything through the tent windows. The very second I stepped out, he mauled me. Had to wonder, how long was he there? Very strange.

[@big_male_shooster2471]

The first lion I shot went aggressive and it was so fast I couldnt react and it killed me

[@dimitriwright2609]

when you call it sounds like a hyena so the lions come

[@death0nion224]

I have had a few been to charge me down and I die...

[@ethanhaskiell3221]

Try hunting them with a recurve bow

[@mackjorgensen2196]

I got a 215.1 diamond blacktail deer.

[@jacknumbertwo9647]

When you spook an animal that has the potential to go aggressive when it's in a calm state and goes from 0% to 100% terrified and confused, they are more likely to attack than flee. In terms of wolves, that might be a bit different. Have noticed the same behavior from black and grizzly bears. Aside from that, this was way too entertaining to watch, more bow hunts!

[@Thecircustapes]

I never knew black bears could go agressive! Ive hunted them up close a bunch and have never seen it

[@Corzappy]

After hours and hours of play I finally saw a lvl 7 Red Deer that had a really similar rack to your diamond red deer. Needless to say I was disappointed it wasn’t a diamond, but then again, I have no idea how to spot diamonds.

[@beessneeze1444]

The max level for a red deer is level 9 that would of been a gold

[@wetcorn5814]

That would be a gold, they get up to a 9 and 8 can look like diamonds sometimes too

[@rachelsmith9697]

Look up weights and trophy scores for diamonds and check both when spotting

[@michaelrosenberger6704]

What annoys me the most about this game is the fact that when I was a level one and just starting out I got a diamond as one of my first animals before realizing that diamonds were good, I can never get that back.

That's not the games fault

I wish there were 2 modes just full on realistic, and more arcade, not like this wierd mix of colord tracks and them smelling you.

[@ataosmanmemik313]

When Lions are shot under 30mt, 95% of the times they will attack to kill. Better have a quick follow up shot to avoid travelling back to collect the trophy. In my experience the best shot with arrow will be heart shot under 30 mt.

[@user-oc6cg4xd7v]

Can you show us your skills and perks pages in the next episode.

[@itzhotlineking5297]

Just subscribed! So far love your content, but i just bought the game the other day and i watched your beginners guide playlist. It is out of date for shot placement, but is there much of anything else i should change from you did?

[@wetcorn5814]

Itz HotlineKing lungs, heart, and liver are vital organs, you need to hit one of those every time if you want to keep the medal on the animal. If it were a diamond and you hit stomach or non vital organs, itd be a gold, if it was a gold it’d be a silver, etc. also you can shoot animals only 2 times before you lose integrity, and quick kill isn’t a thing anymore :3

[@itzhotlineking5297]

Wet Corn Thx man, one more thing... lol Is there any way of telling if a animal is gold or diamond before shooting it? I heard the zag tactic thing is no longer in the game.

[@wetcorn5814]

Itz HotlineKing not really, just level and weight n a little bit of hope lol

[@ethanblock6284]

How do respawns work? You've mentioned them in a bunch of videos but haven't really explained it since I've subbed to you.

[@Angel_hb]

When you spot a animal you see a weight estimate, if you kill a animal it will try to respawn after a short time in that same weight class

[@rackum44]

@7:20 doesn't get much easier with him dying at the bottom of your tripod steps

[@oliversliveonyt1232]

they are probably getting aggressive because you are close to them. It seems weird to us as we are used to killing them across water or over distance. Could be the reason but im not to sure???

Respawn animal? What does that mean?
