i believe now before patch the distance of a caller is 200 meters. i love to hunt without any optics on a 50 m distance so the trick is to come on a spot and wait for animals to come in 200 m range, then call them and avoid any movemente not to spook them. Thanks for the video, can't wait and grab the crossbow with me on hunt 🙂
Are the crossbow bolts the right sized ones for 6 teir animals? You know I don’t even think about the wind at shots 100 yards and under and hit my mark most every time. As a matter of fact I always forget about the wind entirely. I've noticed that a lot of people are always leading too much or leading to less and miss their mark when allowing for the wind. IRL the wind does matter as far as long distant shots and bow hunting, but not so much in this game I don't think.. Oh and there is a perk that allows you to hear calls at a greater distance and I've been calling in animals from 200 yards away ever since I got that perk completed. I hope this update doesn't mess that up for me. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
The starting crossbow is tier 2-5. But I have been taking elk with it. As for wind with the rifles, yes under 200m the wind can mostly be ignored. But not with this crossbow. With a medium crosswind and aiming at a target 50m away, the bolt will pull about a foot sideways.
I've had a few crossbow shots with COMPLETE misses that definitely shouldn't have missed. (maybe the bolt is more easily obstructed by grass etc??) was even using hunter sense to get a feel for bolt trajectories and so definitely shouldn't have missed. You have anything like that in your x-bow game-play? In bullet-cam they have the bolt from crossbow spinning so crazy fast! Take note next time you see that and imagine it spinning that fast per distance traveled... the shot would sound like drone wind-shear :p I'm gonna mention that in "Feedback" though seems a petty complaint haha
Regarding the lack of response elk calling. I've always operated under the assumption that the higher their alert level the less the chance of an optimal response. Maybe I'm wrong but my gameplay experience felt to back up the theory and explains your experience as well. When alert they are not as easy to trick ;) and yes, the correct fitness type caller helps, but I still feel my theory holds water..
Oh and did the blood trail happen to disappear at a maps border of territory? Next time you see a blood trail end when you think it shouldnt have go the the place it ends and check where you are on the map, pan-out, maybe its at a major territory/border change. I had a couple instances of weirdness when the animal crosses 'borders' when hit. Its been awhile since I've had that though, also been awhile since I had serious gameplay... lol Oh and ps for for the bazillion comments. Yes i am bored, but its more-so your content gets me thinking!! :) hahaha
I have not had any wild crossbow shots that were not my fault. But I have found the wind has an enormous effect on the bolt. Both tail and headwind. And of course crosswind. At just 50m a medium crosswind can move a bolt two feet to the side or so. And tailwinds can send the bolt higher than expected, but I need more practise with that.
@@bumblewoot I hadn't put too much thought into tail/head winds hmm. Though wind affects are factored into the HS dot so im still puzzled to this day from those few misses. If it's not an issue to others I'm sure it was my fault and I overlooked something. Thanks for the feedback! :) I'm done cluttering up your comments sections for the day haha G'night :)
How much money do you think would be enough to buy all the new content? I think I have 80 grand already bought the previous utvs and already have all weapons and callers?
Let's talk about the sham tactics these devs always pull. Like see the 3 slots for binos and yet you can't use the 3rd slot. Or how so many trees look shaved perfectly for tree stands. Like pre planned DLC. It sucks they get away with this stuff yet try to charge premium prices for the base game that should be free if they want to continously spam paid DLC. They'd throw loot boxes if they had a way to do it.
I just shot a mature 4 star WT I harvested it and its a 99.99% mature 4 star. This is stupid there's no way you can leave a 4 star mature if it might just expire next sleep. But that's two today first a 99.05% 4 star mature and now a 99.99% 4 star mature. I just walked right into it listening to this video I got an alerted call 80m out I looked and there he was chewing dirt when he should be drinking. If he's a 4 star adult I can understand leave him and see but a mature?
In this situation I'd recommend hopping into the official discord because there's too much here to cover in a RUclips comment section. But most of the answers are there. So hopefully you can hop on the discord if you haven't already. They are pretty good at fielding questions like these 😃
another great video Bumblewoot , thank's .
good thing bears don't bite HAHA. really looking forward to the crossbow with the revamped callers.
I'm really enjoying the crossbow for sure, and since the video have been calling in plenty of animals. It is working well

Your title graphics are great,
Thanks!
Love seeing crossbow gameplay! Can’t wait to test it out 😊
It's the best!
I would like to see them add camo outfits that actually give stealth perks.
that would be good. Oh the possibilities
Rocks look beter then in the Transylvanian map

43:01 I know it's not a save you'll keep, but you missed something!!
lol yeah. It's pretty much my signature move now 😆

You most be playing on PC xbox only got some updates.
It was early access to 1.22. All platforms should have their updates now
How much money do you think would be enough to buy all the new content? I think I have 80 grand already bought the previous utvs and already have all weapons and callers?
Oh that's plenty. It's only a few thousand for the 1.22 additions anyways. And 9,999 for the green utv
Argh, no bows..crossbow...so se are close...
But the bolts are really well done. It will now be a simple transition to bows 🤞
