Goldeneye I don’t think it is once u find deer or something try to stay in that area cause usually when u find one their all their u just have to get them moving

[@strongside4565]

@Traeten Rustad I would imagine it is because the amount of chunks being loaded is much smaller. On PC you're getting animals spawning all around you in a large radius and on xbox it is likely that nothing is spawning outside of a couple hundred meters.

same with me but im on PC like flinter

[@naedogrok5985]

For some reason I see fewer animals in the last few sessions. I try not to hunt in the already hunted area's, and it seems like calls don't work as well. And they seem to spook more even if I'm silent, correct wind and use the camo clothes correctly by standing in brush. So what's up with that? And I'm on Xbox one x and for some reason the game randomly makes me move forward for no reason and even without touching the L stick.

[@TheGoobsters]

Yeah I hate when I'm scoped in this game and the up and down motion of walking keeps going even when I'm still. I have to jiggle the stick and then it goes back to normal again

3:15 when Flinter says “didn’t hit that one” I always wondered if Flinter does his audio voice recording post game footage or if he does the audio recording while playing the game 5:32 I kind of miss the oldschool look of the silver gold and diamond logos instead of the bog simple ones we have in 2023.

Never lost a downed animal yet. Do a 'grid search' and you will find the animal every single time. I've found them quite a distance from the purple 'hunting pressure' zone too so don't be fooled by that either. An orderly search of the area making sure you cover your 'sight lines' left and right and you WILL find the animal.

[@Shakawhenthewallsfell102]

How are you finding finding animals to spot so quickly? It's like they're everywhere you look with your binos there's always something to spot. Definitely not my experience I fast crouch everywhere, hunt upwind around lakes and rivers, noise meter is seldom in the red, maybe one bar if I'm going through bushes, I fast crouch for 10 seconds, stop, scan with binos and repeat. I've seen more animals in this video than in two weeks I've been play. I like the series though just wondering how you're getting all those animals to spawn.

[@TheGoobsters]

Exact same issue, I've tried every strategy, yours which I use the most, the sprint-warning call one, staying stationary and using scents/calls, buying a stand/blind. It's all terrible. Especially bad are the coyotes and foxes, they are nearly impossible to track down and get close enough to if you're lucky enough to even see it in the distance. If you crouch to make less sound they outrun you, but if you stand and go fast enough to catch up they hear you and run. It's a terrible balance in my opinion. I've just been sticking to ducks, bears, bison, and moose because they are so easy to spot.

[@JP94]

You just gotta be at the right place at the right time, make sure you spend your skill & perk points to give you a hunting advantage, if you still hardly see animals try resetting the map you are on. I always see every animal when i play.
