Napping strategies and possible new caller theory? Way of the Hunter

Do high fit young/adult deer species animals respond to a high fit call? I'm not sure. We will try and figure that out and can it help the player? Also inside: Strategies involving napping and teleporting animals =)

[@toothlesschwawa]

I'd probably assume that in diamond, they are probably all high fit. So another thing I did the other day is I was in cotton wood, used high fit rattle bag, and adult wt started moving, I let the call die and him reset. Then tried grunt. He didn't move. Then used Rattle again and when came I harvest to prove he was high fit. Agree marginally useful, but like figuring how things work

Another great video. I was curious if anyone knows what the correlation between the animals fitness percentage and the stars are for example what’s the lowest fitness percentage a five star could be is it 90%? And if so, I think any animal that can’t reach at least four stars should be considered low fit and come to that call, I don’t know what do you think? Maybe it would make the game too easy doing that just a thought.

[@bumblewoot]

The general rule is 85% to become a five star. But it is apparently species dependant. Could be as high as 90% for some. I think the devs are pretty set on below 50% is low fit and above 50% is high fit. But I support any change that is beneficial to the game 😃

[@dadsacyco3852]

@@bumblewoot it’s just frustrating. I was watching a herd that had a mature three star and I let it age for multiple cycles and then it just died off and never got above three star and it would never come to the low fit call. I think it would just save some time if they upped that to maybe 60% or 65% I’ve had that happen a couple different times following an animal that I thought was hi fit but it never panned out

[@bumblewoot]

@@dadsacyco3852 yeah I understand. The 50-70% fitness range is the most difficult to sort out. We've been trying to find ways. So far the best way with some animals is to cull 2 star mature with old fur. If it was a 3 star mature before the last year it was probably 70% or so. Which is definitely beneficial to let die of old age. Sounds like you're doing well at the game though 😃

You can tell if a young is low fit by his antlers. They will much much smaller than a young high fit

[@Aloha_Bama]

Anyone know when the Africa Dlc will release?

[@bumblewoot]

release date still unknown. Has to be out before mid august though

[@glewis6055]

greater kudo photo drop looks nice

[@forddriven8962]

wow - that was some info to get head round - i only thought a couple of most closest of herd responds to the call.....not sure if you saying it's bug or game bad design in mechanics - also the dev's probably did not think you would test and test the game to that depth.......By the way good shooting in this video - dropping all animals .......

[@bumblewoot]

Thanks! The lures are very confusing to sort out. It seems very random overall

[@noahsbasedchannel5208]

I hope that with the bows we will be able to atleast shoot them up to 75 meters. I can’t wait for Africa any day now it’s coming.

[@bumblewoot]

Yeah we will need that sort of range for this game

[@clarenceberghout4954]

Hey. as far as the young, i've never had any young antlered anything come to a call. adults and matures.

[@bumblewoot]

We definitely have had young come to low fit calls. It's the high fit call that is strange 🤷‍♂️

[@rogerheath3449]

if this game is ever going to be good for archery play style, they will need to change some of the game mechanics. more callers and such.

[@bumblewoot]

I agree, it will need some work for archery to be up to par

[@toothlesschwawa]

In my exp, most species start trophy score at least 100 and even almost 200, not zero. Most species Starr 2 star above 250, even some over 300 on the scale of max 500. So picking low fits without callers can be rough guessing how far they can grow

[@SpecialGuestStar]

Just a quick question, how come you don't collect the tasks from the campsites? During your tests and gameplays you would've been able to complete a lot of them already.

[@bumblewoot]

I don't want the mission list to fill up, I focus on one at a time OCD (I just had one that took 8 months), no hurry on it, can be content for future videos, I will be working on the active goat one probably soon, don't need the in game cash, I seem to make my own missions lol 😃

[@SpecialGuestStar]

​@@bumblewoot Hmm. You're able to choose any of the tasks to activate any time, so I found your method interesting. Thank you for the reply!

[@bumblewoot]

@@SpecialGuestStar yep I know 😆 it's mostly OCD. I wouldn't like the big long list showing.

[@plantsbatsandcats]

I just want to note that I have the same problem with the grunt caller, but with the rattle bag the young high fits come in.

[@toothlesschwawa]

I haven't played with that animal teleporting, yet. Did u see that bison photo I posted over the weekend? Sneaking can work, just need to use the right strategy. Btw thanks, I did enjoy the closer look at 223 vs 30 30 idea

[@bumblewoot]

I'll have to look at the bison. I end up alerting them multiple times when trying to get within 80m then they start to walk away
