Another good tip with the ranging in case the people don't have rangefinders....if you spot an animal with your binoculars. They show up on your map. Make a waypoint for it, and it will show the distance to the animal. :)
Onilrem the reason why this does not work any longer is because it was being abused MASSIVELY there's not skill there's no need for tracking it's just aim and shoot down lane and collect collect collect however, there are still some spots where you could still do this but they are nowhere near as profitable this one was, hence the reason those ones still exist
i mean i tried this and had something else happen, there was a bunch of roosevelt elk females just frozen, couldnt spook em if i tried. so i shot some, turned my back to the open, turned around and bang, another one spawned. i farmed it until i was standing too close and one of em gave me a headbutt, i died. still have no idea what caused this
For real. Glad it got patched up. That is clearly an exploit that takes absolutely zero skill to perform. If that is how people just play the game all the time they should uninstall tbh. It's completely counter intuitive to what hunting even is. I wouldn't even consider that hunting target practice would be more accurate. Where is the fun in shooting fish in a barrel. They don't run away you literally can't mess up #1 unless you got the IQ of a toddler. What's more important is you are never going to get better and hunt the big things if you just shoot animals that literally run in circles. You will never be able to track effectively to hunt the animals that actually matter.
My best and first moment in call of the wild is when I just started I was testing my calls and used a roe deer call 2 mins. Later a roe deer came by me and I shot it straight in the eye with a revolver
@@chimpgaming8290 you see like wood planks on the floor, they are laid out in numerous locations. When u see one then u walk up and press (E) and it builds. However it costs 2100 so make sure you have the funds.
Had this in the first couple days playing.. been sitting in the blind for like 3 hours real time, just to find out there were like 15 deer behind me -_-
Nr 1 tip from me. remember to swap guns before harvesting trophies. If you need archery experience point you just swap before collecting animals. I've shoot animals at 250-400m with the 7mm rifle and collect them with archery xp bonus.
Hmmm that is good to know. They may have changed it with the update and i wasnt aware! It use to be dependent on the damage done per the shot. So if you had used a bow but finished it with your 7mm you would get score split according to the % of damage done on each shot directly linked to the info on the harvest screen. I will definatley go check this out to confirm! Ty my friend!! 🍻
I've uninstalled and re installed this game twice... I've actually learnt how to play it now and I'm waiting for it to install, the temptation is killing me
If you dont have a range finder. Just set a way point, to the right of the tunnel. And go to about 150 m. As He is telling u in the video. Happy hunting
Best thing to remember is to be patient. Your not always going to see something and if you do it may not die. If it does not die and you can't find it again don't get upset, carry on. Your not going to get better stuff if you ragequit all the time.
Another tip: don't chase an animal if you see it run. lol. of course you wouldn't do it in real life, i know that. but i was like "you know what, it's going downhill so maybe i can get a shot since it's a game" 10 seconds later the mule deer charged me and knocked me out lol
Harlen Loft well welcome to COTW! If you need anything let me know! Feel free to join our discord community (link in description) if you have any questions or just looking for some hunting partners. I'm glad the vid was some help! 🍻
JaxyBeard I made it over there haha, even put a post on the random kills, hoping I did it right, between your tips and zaggiDK’s them levels are climbing man so I’m happy
This game just became free on EGS and picked it up yesterday, thank you so much for this video, not only it is informative but your way of telling it makes it fun to watch
Ya its still very active. Alot of us are steaming it on twitch these days although I have started again tues and Thurs evenings. Feel free to join the discord if your looking for more hunters 🍻
Thanks for the tips and nice video. Having issues myself with tracking. Either i go so slow i don't catch up or i go fast and make so much noise they scoot off before i see them.
A good tip for people without a rangefinder is to use pings if you see a deer far off thats drinking at the lip of a lake than aproximate a ping and youll get a pretty good estimation of just how far they are
So I was having a ton of trouble with this game and my friend gave me 1 tip that changed everything. I'm still in the early game and for some reason I only come across bears and moose, in both cases I always go for the head shot and I never get a kill. Then my friend told me to start aiming for the lungs, which are right behind the shoulders. Now i get one hit kills every time and I actually enjoy the game. My poor penetration bullets couldn't break a skull aparently...
Me and my wife just got this game love it so far she’s been hunting in real life before Ive always wanted to go just haven’t got the chance so far she’s a better shot then me lol
I've had this game downloaded for sometime. Tried it but seemed to be super hard to find game. Also after I shoot and hit them after tracking almost seems like I could never find them as the trail went cold and they vanish. But got into a few days ago and been finally leveling up.
I´ve just started out on COTW, after coming from Classic, with almost 800h. And I can´t express how useful this vid. was for me! You´ve gotten a new sub. for sure...
Thanks for the tips, the hunting blinds was something I was a bit apprehensive about before but after I built one, and calling a deer walked right up to me and I got a lung shot
just a tip/story i have: one time i shot a whitetail from 8.2 meters. i was squatted and motionless. what actually happened was i left my xbox for about three or four minutes to go do something and came back to see a buck almost on me. couldnt believe it. i might have been using the bleat caller but not 100 percent sure. i may have been under some branches and not known it because i had a clear view of him but apparently he just couldnt see me. I know about halfway through you were talking about distances and whatnot so i figured i would share.
I remember shooting this moose with 10+ .243, 6+ magnum rounds, and a lot of shotgun shells. It wouldn’t go down and kept on circling me like a shark until it bled out a few minutes later ;-;
I just discovered this game yesterday. Installed in on my Xbox series S for $10. I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy a hunting video game, but oh my God I love it. I’m not great at it, but I hope to get better.
(12:39) One of the recent DLCs has a rangefinder bowsight that makes ranged shots way easier. I got a 110 meter shot on a lioness at a watering hole yesterday, forgot to switch from 420 to 600 gr broadheads though.
If you have a general sense of hunting and common sense the game is quite easy and enjoyable. Never gone hunting in my life, but i do love to draw and already knew the anatomy of most animals which correlates hand in hand with the game tbh. I’ve played 35 hours with my one friend in 3 days 😂😭 its a little sad
Thanks I was doing everything wrong lol did not know that resting eating drinking places showed what time they come at that will get me so much kills thanks alot
Hey Jax great tips! I absolutely love COTW and was wondering about the M1 rifle I can't seem to find the ammo for it? and also out of the rifles that cost $ which would you recommend?
I didn't realize you could drive a quad. This game doesn't stop amazing me. Jaxy, there is a lot more to this game then I ever new. You should be a modivational speaker, this video just flowed! Hats off! Stay awesome Jaxy!
Just started 2 days ago. Been playing video games since 1986 but I've never played any hunting games. I'm out here on youtube looking for all the tips I can find. So far, this game has been more like a walking simulator for me but I'm still enjoying it.
I’m a new player and I’ve been eying this game for a while, finally picked it up for a nice casual game and I absolutely love it, I’m just looking for some tips from more seasoned hunters lmao
I'm vegan and I still love this game. mostly because no animals are actualy harmed, but it helps me nurture the inner primal hunter that I could never be in realife, for ethical reasons. Same reason I dont randomly kill cops in real life despite many hours playing GTA. :)
i just got this game because i purchased my first gun lol and im starting to like guns, idk if the game glitches or something but when i want to track an animal it shows me their footprints and name of the animal but it doesn't tell me which direction it went and its really hard to know that, at first it did pointed which direction but out of the nowhere it just stopped giving me the direction the animal went, help how do i fix that? my setting for tracking are on
I’m at a level 17 and still don’t know what’s going on, maybe sticking to one map and completing it might be what I need to do, I’m shooting moose with the starting rifle so I’m LOST, lol
I wish the devs would put in the codex under noise metre, how much noise you’re generating from each bar of white/red noise. From what I’ve heard from one guy, is that the white bars are: 1-10m; 2-20m; 3-30m. And then the red bars are: 1-50m; 2-100m; 3-150m. I cannot find anything from the actual devs tho that states this to be true. I do know tho that even with animals within 30m or 20m, the 2 white bars won’t spook them.
Great video and very informative. The only issue I had was ya lost me on when you spoke towards the end @ 20:00 . You mentioned Calls and selecting a hashmark/ping and would give you info... I don't know what your referencing when you mention this hashmark/ping.
1ST TY FOR TIPS..& LOVE YOUR VOICE....JUST STARTED THE GAME ( I LOVE TO HUNT IN REAL LIFE ) SO MUCH COULD BE HELPFUL LIKE HOW TO NAVIGATE THE STORE, MAP & ALL THE COLORS FOR ID OF TRACKS...HOW LOAD WEAPONS & LIST OF HOW TO ACCESS THEM...I DO HAVE A ? IN THE SITING TO SHOOT AN ANIMAL,, EVEN WITH ALL PERKS & SKILLS TO HELP IT IS SO HARD TO GET IT SET WHERE I WANT IT. SUGGESTIONS?? IN REAL LIFE I'M QUICK DRAW SHOT & PRETTY DANG GOOD FOR WOMAN- BUT IN-GAME I SUCK AT THAT. DO YOU HAVE CONNECTION FOR FURTHER HELP? TY FOR YOUR TIME.
Are missions a necessary component for unlocks or can i just ignore them? So far it looks like i can ignore them but i havent been back to the outpost to check equipment yet. I have ablht 3k in cash so im wondering if im wasting time by doing my own hunts or if its okay?
you dont have to do them at all if you dont want too. you do earn exp and cash doing them but Alphonse i mostly just hunt. haven't completed any of them lol
Hello JaxyBeard. Nice tips and video. And you sounds like a fun and awesome dude. Kind of new to the game (played 3 times I think) I bought a tons of the free ammo for the .243. A bit later some better bullets instead of the free ones. Just curious. How do I change bullet type, so I go from the free to the new better bullet type in the rifle? Regards Krusty in Denmark.
Heya Krusty! When you are in the equipment locker goto storage. Move the ammo over to your bag. Then exit the equipment locker and go into your inventory. Make sure to equip the rifle and the goto ammo. Move the ammo you would like to use (in this case polymer tips) to the gun. Hope that helps!!
@@JaxyBeard Thanks a lot mate. A bit clunky system maybe. But guess maybe they are trying to mimic real life movements and scenarios so it's not a ton of different ammo you carry, and an assigned key to change ammo. But you leave unnecessary stuff at home. And also do the movement with pointer instead of simply one keystroke.
Lol, I heard about the glitch but never tried it. I recently put the game back in because of new Yukon dlc coming up soon and was gonna do the glitch at the tunnel to get more money and experience but now it’s gone, oh well I don’t mind the being patient because that is what this game needs when waiting for the wild life to show themselves. I looked at Yukon trailer and seen a few demos and that map looks so amazing, can’t wait for it
Spam the calls it works everytime but make sure your hidden well because I got surrounded by Farrow deer and there happened to be 2 gold but no diamonds and definitely stay downwind I ended up killing at least 30 animals in about 20 min the bow is really good to use too for groups if they run off just call them back
Thanks for pinning the note that tip #1 no longer works, I was thinking about getting the ATV DLC to do that after buying the game yesterday and seeing some vids of that slaughter trick. Saved me from wasting $4.
Ultimately decided to get the ATV DLC just for the sake of exploring the map faster, but regarding the tip about spooked animal returning in from 1 to 7 minutes...? They change that too? I'm only seeing it happen on about 1/3 of the animals I spook, the rest just don't come back around. Did get some good shots off the times that it has worked though.
I ended up getting it anyhow just to get around the map easier, and ya, you can actually hunt with it if you park and wait a bit for the spooked animals to return to where they were spooked from. doesn't always work, but more often than not it seems to. One of my biggest questions is how to call in some of the animals which seem not to have a call in game. Saw a guy calling in brown bear for example in another vid and not sure what call he was using, but I think it was the coyote caller. Might wanna bring that up in your next vid?
Here's a question...when an animal calls it puts out those white waves. Sometime those are far apart and sometimes they are close together. I am assuming that if they are close together the animal is closer to you? And far apart means the sound was heard from further away? Is that how it works?
John Fedders your on the right track! ( no pun intended ) when you see those brackets if they are small the animal is further away. The bigger they are the closer it is until it is so close that you wont actually see them.
If you aim your rifle or binoculars towards the "waves" if they are far apart they will appear closer together when aimed in in the direction the sound came from, narrowing down the origin of the sound.
Dani sorry my friend but this is incorrect. If the brackets appear larger they are closer to your current location. By default They will cover a larger area and the animal making the call will be somewhere within and around that area. You can unlock a skill that will narrow these brackets and pin point better the animals location. However as i mentioned in my previous reply if they are small that indicates the animal is further away. If they are big it is closer to you. Eventually the animal will be so close when it calls you will not get the brackets 😉
Honestly I enjoy playing this game but I always miss the hits so I struggle with the missions and stuff, I somehow took down a legendary deer while I was just messing around
thats a tough call... alot of it is personal preference really. the 454 is a beast, the bow is incredible for taking alot of animals and not spooking them as far. the shotguns are fun too.... not sure i was much help here lol let me know how you make out!
I have played a solid 15 hours on this game and have literally seen maybe 20 animals. What am I doing wrong? I rarely sprint and I never use the quad in fear of spooking animals but I still never even see any. And I have killed maybe 8 or 10 of the few I have seen.
Ngl...i just started recently and i have about 14 or 16 hours in the game and i actually got a diamond coyote. It was resting and i just crawled to about 60m. Used the map to find out distance between. I actually have no clue about integrity, Consecutive farm or anything. Just good old luck
I really feel that each of these are equally important and I tried to help give direction for the new player. This game requires alot of time and having a direction to go and what one should do on the way is what I was trying to help with. These are All the tios we give to each of our new community members to help along that way. Please let me know what you feel as a beginner you are unable to do?
when you know there’s an animal around, they have a certain range and it’s usually pretty rare to have an animal near you without you knowing or without them spooking.
Hey, nice video. I have not owned a gaming console since my PS2 died. It seems like a lot of games now require you to spend real money in the game. I think this is ridiculous and would like to know if you need to spend real money to progress in this game once you buy it? I am more than a little old school.. Thanks, Nick
What were ya having a hard time with? The 2019 edition is basically all the dlcs to date other than mallards. I've got videos on most of the content that should help. If you'd like come join our discord if you have any other questions 🍻
did you get this sorted? i dont play on ps4 but we have alot of ppl thast do in our community, pop in discord we have some great peeps that would love to help
Please note my friends that with the recent updates tip #1 no longer works.
JaxyBeard yea i just got the game and tried this several times at the tunnel and they have done away with it.
Another good tip with the ranging in case the people don't have rangefinders....if you spot an animal with your binoculars. They show up on your map. Make a waypoint for it, and it will show the distance to the animal. :)
Hahaha I needed some quick cash and was wondering why this didn’t work anymore
Shaw Dawg
Thanx heaps, mate. Fuckin’ awesome idea!!
Onilrem the reason why this does not work any longer is because it was being abused MASSIVELY there's not skill there's no need for tracking it's just aim and shoot down lane and collect collect collect however, there are still some spots where you could still do this but they are nowhere near as profitable this one was, hence the reason those ones still exist
6:39 skips the first tip that no longer works.
Fawk.. Just so happens I scrolled down and saw this comment at 6:30 Fml, looked promising too
i mean i tried this and had something else happen, there was a bunch of roosevelt elk females just frozen, couldnt spook em if i tried. so i shot some, turned my back to the open, turned around and bang, another one spawned. i farmed it until i was standing too close and one of em gave me a headbutt, i died. still have no idea what caused this
im glad that no longer works, its clearly exploitation and I'm surprised this dude would cover it.
What can I shoot with the 30.06 😏?
For real. Glad it got patched up. That is clearly an exploit that takes absolutely zero skill to perform. If that is how people just play the game all the time they should uninstall tbh. It's completely counter intuitive to what hunting even is. I wouldn't even consider that hunting target practice would be more accurate. Where is the fun in shooting fish in a barrel. They don't run away you literally can't mess up #1 unless you got the IQ of a toddler. What's more important is you are never going to get better and hunt the big things if you just shoot animals that literally run in circles. You will never be able to track effectively to hunt the animals that actually matter.
Get in a stand, do some deer calls, lay down, go eat supper, when you come back there will be 10 deer at your feet
My best and first moment in call of the wild is when I just started I was testing my calls and used a roe deer call 2 mins. Later a roe deer came by me and I shot it straight in the eye with a revolver

From what I’ve heard from one guy, is that the white bars are: 1-10m; 2-20m; 3-30m. And then the red bars are: 1-50m; 2-100m; 3-150m. I cannot find anything from the actual devs tho that states this to be true. I do know tho that even with animals within 30m or 20m, the 2 white bars won’t spook them.
So you start with the same gun even if you have the gun dlc?
So how does leveling and unlocking work?
surprised your channel doesn't explode Jaxy mines dribbling along slowly
Thank you for the help jaxyBeard
Very helpful! I wish I checked this sooner, but I am still fairly new to the game so it will certainly help.
This was one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much Jaxy!
Purple Turple thank you for the kind words! I hope it helps people first getting started!
Great video my dude! This is how a tips and tricks guide should be done
Thank you! 🍻
How do i know from which side the wind ia blowing
how do you get the Quad?
On PC it's a dlc, on console it was included. Head into your shop and go down to garage. Request vehicle. Hope that helps!
What map is that first tip? I dont have it
Great video and very informative. The only issue I had was ya lost me on when you spoke towards the end @ 20:00 . You mentioned Calls and selecting a hashmark/ping and would give you info... I don't know what your referencing when you mention this hashmark/ping.
Bruce Crossan at 19:59 you see lines on the screen. The animal is between those lines

LOVE UR VIDS
Are missions a necessary component for unlocks or can i just ignore them? So far it looks like i can ignore them but i havent been back to the outpost to check equipment yet. I have ablht 3k in cash so im wondering if im wasting time by doing my own hunts or if its okay?
you dont have to do them at all if you dont want too. you do earn exp and cash doing them but Alphonse i mostly just hunt. haven't completed any of them lol
@@JaxyBeard yea i guess it just acts as a sort of tutorial to teach u mechanics and animal hotspots. But we have youtube too lol thanks man
Ah, I get it. Zeroing is compensating so the scope and where the rifle hits with cross at the set distance to where the scope is looking.
Hello JaxyBeard. Nice tips and video. And you sounds like a fun and awesome dude. Kind of new to the game (played 3 times I think) I bought a tons of the free ammo for the .243. A bit later some better bullets instead of the free ones. Just curious. How do I change bullet type, so I go from the free to the new better bullet type in the rifle? Regards Krusty in Denmark.
Heya Krusty! When you are in the equipment locker goto storage. Move the ammo over to your bag. Then exit the equipment locker and go into your inventory. Make sure to equip the rifle and the goto ammo. Move the ammo you would like to use (in this case polymer tips) to the gun. Hope that helps!!
@@JaxyBeard Thanks a lot mate. A bit clunky system maybe. But guess maybe they are trying to mimic real life movements and scenarios so it's not a ton of different ammo you carry, and an assigned key to change ammo. But you leave unnecessary stuff at home. And also do the movement with pointer instead of simply one keystroke.
Does the first tip still work?
Hi there! How to save game progress in the hunter call of the wild? Thx!!!
OMG your so awesome and I loved your video ten tips and tricks keep up the amazing job on the game keep it real
Lol, I heard about the glitch but never tried it. I recently put the game back in because of new Yukon dlc coming up soon and was gonna do the glitch at the tunnel to get more money and experience but now it’s gone, oh well I don’t mind the being patient because that is what this game needs when waiting for the wild life to show themselves. I looked at Yukon trailer and seen a few demos and that map looks so amazing, can’t wait for it
Thanks for the tips, really helpful.... Quick question, do the animals see my headlamp when I hunt at night?
No, they don´t
“The slaughter glitch” no longer works
Spam the calls it works everytime but make sure your hidden well because I got surrounded by Farrow deer and there happened to be 2 gold but no diamonds and definitely stay downwind I ended up killing at least 30 animals in about 20 min the bow is really good to use too for groups if they run off just call them back
Love it beard keep it up this is going to help
thank you my friend! i sure hope it helps people =)
This game is great. I never liked a hunting game before, but i love hunting, selling your kills and buying new stuff
You get straight to the point and make it easy to understand. Thumbs up and a sub from me.
Thanks for pinning the note that tip #1 no longer works, I was thinking about getting the ATV DLC to do that after buying the game yesterday and seeing some vids of that slaughter trick. Saved me from wasting $4.
Glad to help man. I will prob do an updated vid without that included. Glad u caught it in time 😀
Ultimately decided to get the ATV DLC just for the sake of exploring the map faster, but regarding the tip about spooked animal returning in from 1 to 7 minutes...? They change that too? I'm only seeing it happen on about 1/3 of the animals I spook, the rest just don't come back around. Did get some good shots off the times that it has worked though.
I ended up getting it anyhow just to get around the map easier, and ya, you can actually hunt with it if you park and wait a bit for the spooked animals to return to where they were spooked from. doesn't always work, but more often than not it seems to. One of my biggest questions is how to call in some of the animals which seem not to have a call in game. Saw a guy calling in brown bear for example in another vid and not sure what call he was using, but I think it was the coyote caller. Might wanna bring that up in your next vid?
Here's a question...when an animal calls it puts out those white waves. Sometime those are far apart and sometimes they are close together. I am assuming that if they are close together the animal is closer to you? And far apart means the sound was heard from further away? Is that how it works?
John Fedders your on the right track! ( no pun intended ) when you see those brackets if they are small the animal is further away. The bigger they are the closer it is until it is so close that you wont actually see them.
Ok, sweet. Thanks for the answer.
My pleasure John! Happy hunting!
If you aim your rifle or binoculars towards the "waves" if they are far apart they will appear closer together when aimed in in the direction the sound came from, narrowing down the origin of the sound.
Dani sorry my friend but this is incorrect. If the brackets appear larger they are closer to your current location. By default They will cover a larger area and the animal making the call will be somewhere within and around that area. You can unlock a skill that will narrow these brackets and pin point better the animals location. However as i mentioned in my previous reply if they are small that indicates the animal is further away. If they are big it is closer to you. Eventually the animal will be so close when it calls you will not get the brackets 😉
Honestly I enjoy playing this game but I always miss the hits so I struggle with the missions and stuff, I somehow took down a legendary deer while I was just messing around
What weapon should I buy bow shotgun or pistle
thats a tough call... alot of it is personal preference really. the 454 is a beast, the bow is incredible for taking alot of animals and not spooking them as far. the shotguns are fun too.... not sure i was much help here lol let me know how you make out!
I need this game
QUICK TIP: to find ranges without a rangefinder, spot an animal and mark where you spotted it with a waypoint to gauge an almost exact range
I have played a solid 15 hours on this game and have literally seen maybe 20 animals. What am I doing wrong? I rarely sprint and I never use the quad in fear of spooking animals but I still never even see any. And I have killed maybe 8 or 10 of the few I have seen.
Ngl...i just started recently and i have about 14 or 16 hours in the game and i actually got a diamond coyote. It was resting and i just crawled to about 60m. Used the map to find out distance between. I actually have no clue about integrity, Consecutive farm or anything. Just good old luck
tips and tricks for beginners. the important ones all require things that a beginner can't access. Good Job!
I really feel that each of these are equally important and I tried to help give direction for the new player. This game requires alot of time and having a direction to go and what one should do on the way is what I was trying to help with. These are All the tios we give to each of our new community members to help along that way. Please let me know what you feel as a beginner you are unable to do?
How often do you want to use the calls?
when you know there’s an animal around, they have a certain range and it’s usually pretty rare to have an animal near you without you knowing or without them spooking.
Why does my hunter goes backwards or walks on its own after paused or sits idle for sometime
I’m here ready to start fresh. Thanks for the help mate!’
works great very happy with it
Thanks for this review, think i will pass this game :)
How do I spot rabbit
Mfrs are fast
Early range finder: Spot the animal with binoculars. Open the map. Place a waypoint on the spotted animal. Boom, range!
Just downloaded the game looking forward to your videos along the way
Hey, nice video. I have not owned a gaming console since my PS2 died. It seems like a lot of games now require you to spend real money in the game. I think this is ridiculous and would like to know if you need to spend real money to progress in this game once you buy it? I am more than a little old school.. Thanks, Nick
Does it still work the first trick?
Are backpacks a useful thing? I saw it adds sound
They can be but honestly i wouldnt hint with them. The noise and visibility isnt worth the gain. Makes it hard to hunt
JaxyBeard Alrighty, im new to the game so im just trying to figure things out
Any help with the 2019 edition. Best videos ever!
What were ya having a hard time with? The 2019 edition is basically all the dlcs to date other than mallards. I've got videos on most of the content that should help. If you'd like come join our discord if you have any other questions 🍻
I like how you use lightsaber sound effects for your transitions!
Haha! Always been fav of mine to use!
@@JaxyBeard Cool dude. Keep making good stuff, this has really helped me out!
