[@connorkenway09]

One thing I do before taking a shot is marking the spot where the animal is, if it managed to run away i also make a marker of where it went after 50-100 meters. This way you won't lose a deer you shot yet can't find. Comparing it to real life, you could say you "memorise" where you shot it and where it went.

[@penname8380]

@@Howtopaintstuff You can use a golfpro styled rangefinder with a GPS parser medium IRL for under $200 bucks. So it is possible IRL. it's been used that way IRL for almost a decade now, maybe longer. Surely a hunting game in modern times using modern equipment should accomidate that.

[@nicholasi8296]

I'm sure you could whip out a drone in real life too

[@williamschultz-b4x]

Yes I always find a landmark to locate the shot and where I lose sight of the animal.

[@wintermoose6882]

5:57 WOW has anyone notice the top of the scope when your setting your zero the nobs are moving, that is amazing detail right there

[@Toothless369]

The detail is what sold me in this game. It is by far the most realistic hunting game i personally been waiting for.

[@wintermoose6882]

@@Toothless369 I think we all been waiting for this

[@marti9]

Amazing detail but they cant make the game load textures the texture poping is awful on this so far, hope it gets patched fast

[@crumbopulis]

It don’t take much to wow gamers man

[@alwayslearning1895]

On the aging portion of the video, not sure if the devs didn't take this in consideration or if someone told you wrong but longer sun exposure to antlers would not be a determining factor on "aging" the deer. Mule deer and whitetail shed their antlers every year so it is not like older bucks antlers are exposed to the sun longer than younger bucks. Where I hunt it is mainly the time of year when the bucks rub their velvet off that determines the white vs dark coloring of the antlers. Early season freshly rubbed antlers are white, later season they are darker. Great video though!!

[@demondog9482]

Actually it does inr due to blood flow

[@jacksondaniel3500]

I find it depends on what kind of tree the deer rubs on.

[@williamschultz-b4x]

Older deer can grow darker antlers ime.

[@tennesseefox263]

I would really like a color blind mode. It's really hard for me to see blood even in the hunter sense

[@kinvotime490]

I agree mostly. I will counter with get the calls and start calling early. You need to level them up and you might as well get started. Deer, fox, and Elk are easy to call.

[@warriorxtman2]

Roe Deer caller definitely works. I'm at the beginning, haven't killed the 6lbs of pheasants for that mission yet but got the caller. Roes will come right up to you for easy kills. Don't call too soon, wait until the bar on the screen gets to the thick part of the bar, 15 to 20 seconds before calling again.

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

First deer ,lung and heart from 160m. The bullet cam is awesome 😎

[@Riyame]

Technically, if you enable the slow walking mode you can walk with the hunter sense on before getting the perk. It is a bit slow but workable. The perk allows you to use it while walking at normal speed.

[@adamrogers9169]

How do I enable slow walk?

[@Riyame]

@@adamrogers9169 On console you click right stick, not sure what the button on PC is.

[@unciviled7741]

@@Riyame on pc its left ctrl

[@Ruhmove]

@@Riyame so there is a slow crouch walk and a regular crouch walk? All turned on and off by using the right stick?

[@Riyame]

@@Ruhmove Yes, same as with walking.

[@weatherby1982]

i wish these hunting games would have a butchering mini-game people can do..it would help non-hunters learn how to butch the animal for meat and skin.

[@rumuelnathanael8043]

Nah I'm afraid it might become a inspiration for any future serial killer to do those to human. Gotta be careful.

[@Frothop]

It’ll get really repetitive and boring if ur grinding

[@Angelwrites]

@@rumuelnathanael8043 everyone should know how to eat an animal they kill. Lack of knowledge doesn't prevent psychopaths from being psychopaths. Just look at the tents outside everywhere.

[@Angelwrites]

@@Frothop it would make a great simulator instead of just a game

[@Frothop]

@@Angelwrites yes but should have an option to disable, at the end of the day it’s a hater you want it to be

[@peterhall8323]

Brilliant video. I have been a Hunter COTW for years and bought this as an alternative. It was so different so having these basics has made it so much easier now. As always spot on

[@Jordan-ks9pk]

Dude this was very helpful! After 4 days playing, I was still having trouble understanding the genetics and aging of the animals (which animals/when to cull in a heard/pack). Thankfully I finally found your video which is the only one I've seen that goes into the genetics system in depth. Thanks Scarecrow!

[@AlaskanFeverArchery]

It is sooo cool to see they made a very good job with the antlers and trophies, so you can see in the field which bucks are the best to kill. I wanna see a bigger magnification spotting scope like in the Hunter Classic. I use it all the time. 40x spotting scope or something like that....it would be very useful here too. One thing what we really need yet (maybe the creators will put in the game later) is the BOW. I looooooooooove the bowhunting in the Classic and in the COTW as well. And treestands, feeders... it`s a beautiful and so realistic hunting game.

[@rebel7254]

So there are no blinds/stands that you can put up? Bummer.

[@kal_8823]

Awesome video, I feel prepared for the hunt tonight now. Thank you!

[@jona826]

12:30 I hope a future patch shows the animal's appearance when it died and not when it was first shot and survived.

[@canadianeastcoastdabbingcr2168]

looks like im going to love this game once im done building my new pc next week love to do missions so will be a blast thanks for lots of great info on game scarecrow your vids are awesome

[@canadianeastcoastdabbingcr2168]

well not to bad of a game 12 hrs of play froze once and major error but game play is pretty good on ddr5 mobo and 32 gigs ddr5 rams

[@Don-rc1kl]

Would be interested to know how old deer can get more sun fading on antlers than young since they both grow new antlers every year....?

[@dirtydale741]

Yea not a thing haha

[@ricochetrebel948]

very informative and well explained ty for the vid you rock sir :)

[@ScarecrowTheHunter]

Glad it helped!

[@notsomadscientist9602]

This changed the game for me! I was playing it like a typical hunting game.

[@patrickh4540]

I got the game in the Epic store. I play on PC. My issue: when I leave the game and want to play on later, it always starts from the very beginning instead of where I left off. Any ideas?

[@chickennuggut5925]

Little tip: With you hold down the shoot button the scope don‘t turn black and you can see where your deer or whatever is running so yeah

[@noodles466]

Yoo I just shot a whitetail on this game, it was a full pass through and the bullet hit the deer behind it. that's so cool..

[@MarcoPW31]

Got a GO white tail deer on cotw scoring 404...i'm so happy

[@dljtwo]

Excellent video, extremely helpful... especially the info on genetics. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScarecrowTheHunter]

No prob glad it helped!

[@Faelandaea]

I love this game, though one thing that bugs the heck out of me is that you HAVE to use the binoculars to get info on the animals, whereas in Hunter: COTW you can get the info using rifle scopes as well. It's odd. "Hey, I can zoom in MUCH better with this scope, but I have no clue WTF I am looking at because I am not using the crappy Binos that do not show anything really at all due to poor zoom." LOL. Anyway, thanks for the video. Liking and Subbing.

[@Poondock]

Big help - thanks for making this!

[@bwicked3059]

Thanks bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Very helpful video..

[@kaptainkechup91]

How does sun exposure on antlers show age? It ain’t like he’s had those antlers his whole life. He gets a new set every year

[@huntingkid123]

I would love to have hanging wall mounts like on way of the hunter! That would be awesome!

[@justinjernigan6638]

Hey man! Great video but could you share your video settings? I have a pretty high end pc but just can’t get settings right, if something is more than 50feet away, I can’t see em unless I have binoculars out

[@Miro35]

This was just what i need.

[@Mike1-]

Amazing video bro so much detail 👍🏽

[@Stephen-jr4kb]

I shot a black beat 6 times with that 2nd rifle u get. First shot hit the spine, it charged me from 250 ft. I hit it again in the lungs, but that last shot #6 hit the intestine, that stopped it. This game is awesome! Do they have Grizz??

[@OPSavage2000]

I wish camping sights had a parking place where you can call for your vehicle so we can access out weapons storage

[@riotgaming9969]

Anyone know how to start a new game? Mine glitched when trying to harvest the Hollywood buck and now I can't proceed in the story anymore

[@Alexruiz69648]

Something i think i really cool but i dont know if its a bug or not is that some animals ive shot then ran up on have lied down to die but then gotten scared when i came close and then running a little more before actually dying

[@Shiftry87]

The diffrent tone on the antlers is imo so small that u can hardly tell and good luck noticing that when u are out hunting the animal.

[@youlostthedebate]

Can you hunt out of a tree climber like on cotw??

[@anyone7165]

11:45 how this Mule Deer can still walk after getting hit by .338 in the spine?????

[@miykhah8822]

Dunno if the headshot tip is correct. I've been headshotting stuff left right and center and the trophies haven't been ruined in most cases. (only ones that do get ruined are the ones where the trophy is the skull itself, likes foxes, bears, and wolves)

[@BenjaminCrosse]

will they bee adding things like bears and mountain lions? love your review

[@Seussenshmirtz]

I got a Way of the Hunter ad while watching this.

[@ajjamoore]

What I see with the mule deer antlers is your 99% has straighter tines on its rack. The other 2 seem "crooked".

[@Moose130]

Keep it up love the vids

[@grahamguthrie2423]

Great guide mate, Thanks

[@kentgoldings]

You do realize that deer shed their antlers every year.

[@dabears22]

so cool how the animal grows if you don’t kill it

[@tapejara1507]

I enjoyed this small intro series

[@rebel7254]

So if you want to move a trophy, you have to pay a second time? Nope, they gotta get rid of that.

[@Emanemoston]

Thanks for the video.

[@TerryBollea1]

I understand the genetics stuff. But how long does it take for them to make babies and grow into 5 stars? Can you skip time in this game to let them grow?

[@martyp4465]

How do you use deer callers in this game cant seem to attract them

[@vladanzervanov4146]

12:27 Not just sad, it is not realistic. If he survived first shot and continue to grow, trophy rating should be at the time you actually killed him. Some veterans came from war with a bullet in their head or body, doctors can't take it out, and when they die, they die as old persons, not as 20yr old boy when they took the shoot.

[@seanowheels]

How do you change the difficulty?

[@laird1031]

The unit of measure for hit energy (j) is for Jules

[@bonniesause4049]

They need to add tripods and treestands

[@SirAser.F__k.you.Google]

A beginners guides quality, will always raise, depending on the quality/usefulness of the advices, or given information. But as a beginner, I don’t know anything..so what I look for, would be fast introduction(but deep) to game-mechanics, and what is important/have big impact, to my gameplay, income, or progression ..if I know about it now, from the start!(the things I otherwise, would only realize/learn slowly over time, on my own), preventing wasted time or resources! Found a lot of interesting stuff here! - ty

[@shobekade5209]

i think it would be interesting if previous shots would affect how a deer develops if it doesn’t kill it, like make the antlers grow abnormally next time it grows

[@jaxonlee5700]

That’s how they run in real life
