I had a bear kill count of 1300 when they went to the dark side, and I gave up my grind. Thanks to iBUY and this video I modified my setup and kicked off again, 470 bears later I have a G1 in my lodge. I honestly never thought I would return to the bear grind. Thank you.
That’s so awesome you picked it back up! The bear grind is a bit tedious to start, but so fun and it pays a ton when it gets going! Congrats on the GO!!
I've learned a lot from you, despite your lack of videos 😅. Please, please... make more videos. I respect the grind, and always give you credit when explaining herd management to people. Great video bro!🎉
Dude I’m having the same issue so I feel you I placed on the other side by the purchased post but the funny thing was I placed my other tent to close to the lake spawned by 2 bears and killed em both tho when I appeared
Great video ibuy. Explained very well. You and Lady L are excellent teachers. EW should pay you bought . This helps new players as well as us vets. Thank you
Super helpful video! This is a great guide, I haven't set up a bear grind yet and this video will make it easy peasy! Thank you for taking so much time to create content like this and help the community out! ❤
I've also found if you shoot a lower level bear in the four Lakes and shoot a high level bear out of the zone it swaps the bears if you don't claim them and go back to your home menu.
@@ibuypremiums ok thank you. Also, I got everything set up and ready to go but when I tried to hunt the bears at the lakes, sometimes none would spawn. Is there a solution to this? Do you know if I’m doing anything wrong?
Yeah, it changed with the dog dlc that dropped. There are a couple places there on that hill you can still place a tent. They are just a little bit of a pain to find. In my discord in the hunter call of the wild chat there is a picture of where you can place it now.
Awesome video iBuy, ima try and copy your setup the best I can, gonna be hard herd managing the map down but if I can do that I’d say it’ll be pretty fun.
@@ibuypremiumsbrother I get the HM and everything but I can’t see any of the bear in alot of my zones because of the grass. I can’t even see them, I have to spook them to be able to see where they’re. I’d put tree stands up but still don’t work. Any advice?
If you have tough spots that you cant see through grass, you can move back far until the grass renders out. Or you can try using the caller, that is what i do. It helps a bit. @@vapesmoker8738
Thank you so much for making this guide, I was really stuck when it came down to it. My one question is if I'm supposed to shoot the females out of the lowermost 'bouncing' zone?
So ibuy im finished grinding and shooting all big bears out my exterior lakes but i went to the four lakes and i only have females there not. Even a low level male pls help
I know this is an old video but since the update screwed my tiger grind I was thinking of trying my first GO grind. Does this all still work after the update? Thanks 👍 great video!
For bears yeah. In fact the only difference really is that they drink during the daytime. With a drink time of 4-8 for the most part, everything else should be the same. The respawns for bears seem to be working well also.
I think i finally got this to work! Gotta hurry up before the update! Found 2 level 9’s. Sometimes females still spawn in my shooting zones. And a level 8 keeps responding on the 5th lake.
question about whitetail ... i had a zone with 3 males and 1 female and i shot all the males. now that zone only has that 1 female and the males aren't respawning. did those males go somewhere else and now the zone is dead? should i shoot the female or just leave this zone alone now ? thanks !
The males did go somewhere else and you have to find them. Any time that you have 3 bucks and 1 doe zone. You always have to leave at least 1 male and 1 female there or it will go doe only always.
What do you do when you have level 2 or 3 male bears show up on your main shooting lakes in Silver Ridge Peaks? Do you shoot them? Love the content man. Thanks
Hi ibuy ive been following you for a little bit and im currently working on a black bear grind. Im on srp and ive shot down my exteriors but evry few rounds i keep getting smalll bears on my main lakes. im probably 3000+ kills in and im not getting any diamonds and still no great one. i dont want to give up but im really confused and not sure what im doing wrong because im doing what you and lady says in your guides. got any tips? thank you for your amazing content!
You will still get small bears to spawn on the 4 lakes for sure. But if you are over 3k without spawning diamonds, there is definitely some larger bears out there hiding somewhere on your map. It seems after the last change for the bears they tend to bounce out a bit more too. But you should be able to get out there and find them. Even a 7 or 8 out at another lake can really effect the diamond spawn rate. I hope you can find them, and i hope this little bit helps!
thanks for making this vid, you have clearly done well on your grinds with the number of bears you got. are there any drink zones up in silver rise / prosperity pass? i saw your map of possible zones was partially covered lol
Once they get stacked up there, you should be able to rotate those 4 lakes for a good while. But they can bounce out a little here and there, when you find some that bounced out, set an extra tent there so you can quickly check that spot next time.
Hey is there a sertain method to placing the top left tent at the fifth lake It doesn’t let me place it in the side of that mountain where u have it placed
It changed when they released the dog update. They changed something with the rocks there. In my discord there is a new picture for where to place in the hunter chat if you can navigate your way there.
There is a new place to put it over there. When the dog came out, it changed that mountain a little and we had to find a new place over there to put a tent.
That came with the dog dlc. The map changed a little there. Or the rocks did. I don’t know exactly. But there are a couple of places to place a tent there still. In my discord in the call of the wild hunter chat there should be a picture of where the tent can be placed.
Not sure what to do once lakes are “primed” all my main lakes have 6,7 and 1 8. And my exteriors have all the females. Do I shoot the smallest males on the main lakes now?
It depends on what you have on those 4 lakes. If it is all small bears, you will have low respawns. If you get lucky and have a good group of big bears, it might work out for a little. They can and will still bounce out from these lakes though.
This video is fantastic! Although is the step about killing all bears 4 and up around the map necessary, it’s just that I only got SRP yesterday so it would take me ages to do that.
This isnt really working for me and wondering if I'm doing something technically wrong. Ive killed about 200 bears, killed off all the females to start after setup. I'm making the rotation on about 5 exterior lakes and the 4 shooting lakes. Can't seem to clear the jumpers (one maybe two each cycle) and level of the shooting lake bears is stuck at lvl 7 (mind the fact that I'm not shooting those on the 4 lakes). Just seems to be rinse and repeat over and over. Just as an UPDATE its a pretty consistent pattern I find tWO small bears at one of the 4 shooting lakes and 1 jumper at an exterior lake. I kill them all but they just reapear the next cycle.
Absolutely. So with herds it can mess them up, and break your male respawns in that zone. And also create new zones. With bears, they are predators. So solo respawns, they bounce to other areas when you shoot them. It allows more males to be able to potentially respawn in that spot.
Does the not killing any animals at 4 lakes work for moose on new England or whitetail on layten lake bc me and my friends need help getting set up for great ones but there are no videos to help us
No, those you definitely have to be shooting. I did some really good collab videos with LadyLegend. They explain most things really well. I also do have a NEM moose video.
When trimming the lakes should I go to shoot lake kill small bears then go to outer lake kill big bear then back to shoot lake for small bear again and so on or just keep doing my rotation kill the big bears at the outer lake when I get to the small legs kill all the small bears and out to the outer lakes again for big bears?
Did you glitch the tent and tripod stand placement at the west end of the first lake? I tried placing both for about 30 minutes in the exact same spot and couldn't get it to stick. I kept getting either "slope is too steep" or "try placing over open ground."
No. When they did the retriever dog update it changed the terrain there or something. I had to run around that hillside for awhile to find a new place to put one down.
Cool stuff but I am wondering right now if the game might be bugged because I been dealing with it I would hit a male and get a no organ and yet hit a female in what looks like the same spot and get a vital I don't understand why
I don’t think there are any new bugs on them. But they have had a weird thing where the animation was behind the actual hit box model. Like sometimes you shoot and to you it’s standing there normal. But the hitbox shows it standing up.
Have you ever counted your bear population on silver ridge? Like how many males and females exist? I know each map will be different by a small margin.
Is it important to have a specific amount of bears drinking at the "bounce" lake in order to "catch" the bears from the main 4 lakes? I got 5 females and a small male drinking there and my respawns aren't consistently as I expected them to be
I dont think there is a set number. If there is, i have not noticed. I just notice if my bears at the 4 lakes are a lower amount, and then i run around and find where they went. By doing that, i notice sometimes that some lakes have a tendency to eat respawns.
I’m doing the grind but female keep spawning and I shoot a male at different lakes that are not the 4 but it so hard to keep up they come back as female any tips
Sometimes they can be really stubborn. I have shot a female at the 4 lakes and a male from an exterior while leaving them in the ground. Sometimes they swap places.
Hello I Buy. I've never really got into grinding but do frequent the same areas quite a bit. But today I have decided to change all of that. I'm going to take your's and Lady's advice and try to start a grind on Revontuly Coast. But I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me as I'm getting started. I'm starting off with Whitetails but was thinking about trying to do moose and maybe Brown Bears at the same time so I wouldn't be resetting the time so much and maybe would relieve some of the hunting pressure at the same time. Or do you think I'm just biting off way more than I can chew. Another question I have for you is that when you're grinding for a G1 do you stack your diamonds like some of the other people do? I just feel like you're the one I trust the most on this subject. Thank you for this awesome video!❤❤❤
Hey! Yeah so Revontuli whitetail are really good! As long as you are hunting a minimum of 8 zones, shooting 2 per zone your hunting pressure should be gone when you get back to the first zone. Setting up moose can work, but it’s a a lot of work. I would maybe stick to just one species since you are just starting out. And yea I do stack my diamonds as well. It just makes it faster to shoot the rest of the map down.
Fantastic video! Ibuy doing the work for the community. How many zones did you find at the other lakes you managed down? How many do I need to start the HM grind?
The video helped me so much starting BB grind, but i do have 1 question... do you hunt the other lakes or check them and every now and them hunt them or do you have them in your rotation to hunt and those 4 lakes are the main that will spawn the g1?
I mostly just rotate the 4 lakes after they have a good amount of bears on them. But if the bears start to seem like there are less there. I will go around and check the other lakes again.
I've been playing cotw since 2019 and still haven't had a g1. I've tried herd management, right ammo, good placement shots, everything. think you can help me out? thanks.
@ thanks man. I ended up just moving around. I appreciate al the knowledge you’ve shared. Just got to find the rest of my zones and I’ll be ready to shoot
So I’ve been doing a whitetail grind on Revontuli, I’ve been consistently visiting essentially all of my zones (getting through about 1/3 of my zones per rotation) my initial plan was to leave the 1’s and stack diamonds.. would I be better off condensing my grind to fewer locations?
I shot the map down, stacked all 7s-9s on 4 mains however once I started shooting my biggest 2 at each main from a tripod they dont respawn what have I done incorrectly plz help thx
exactly! The only thing you want to do, is get yourself with like 10-15 shootable bears on those top 4 lakes. So if you do get a 9 up there it helps out. But a mythical is only 2 points or less off max score diamond anyways. Main thing for dime rate and what not, you do want to make sure you dont have level 6 and up scattered around the map.
@@ibuypremiums aight this means I just need to make sure all outside waterholes are devoid of 6 or higher male bears. Then I can just spam the 4 or 5 lakes. I just started setting up like 3hrs ago and I already have 11 level 4 or higher bears in those lakes. Big thanks! I might have more questions in the future!
Yep! Feel free to ask, and good luck! You can always join the discord as well. Quite a few grinders in there that are very helpful as well!@@Archonyx09

How many outer lakes should you have, and which outer lakes should you choose?
Exterior lakes are all the other ones except the main 4.
So I just hope around every outer lake and kill big male bears?
Yes, while also shooting low level bears and females from the main 4 lakes. The guide explains it well. @@B1GT007

Ok, now I have to try bears again. Great vid 🎉
Good luck!
So when I stack my four mains lakes with 10 to 15 shootable bears do I shoot all of them and just restart the process I am kinda confused on that part
Once they get stacked up there, you should be able to rotate those 4 lakes for a good while. But they can bounce out a little here and there, when you find some that bounced out, set an extra tent there so you can quickly check that spot next time.
@@ibuypremiums I found a spot for that tent but it’s 168m away can I just walk back to 250m so they render in
Once I get 10-15 5-9 shootable bear do I just never shoot at the outside zones every agine
You don’t really need to unless those 10-15 become less. Then you will know you have bouncers you need to track back down.
Is there any way to add more bears to the rotation? I only have 8 on the four lakes
You just have to shoot more from exteriors and get them to bounce to those 4 lakes.
When the great ones spwans and willl it gurenteed spawn at the four lake or dose it have a change to spawn at the other outside lakes
It’s possible I suppose for it to spawn outside of them. But I have spawned 20 with this grind, and they have all been at the 4 lakes.
Hey is there a sertain method to placing the top left tent at the fifth lake It doesn’t let me place it in the side of that mountain where u have it placed

At Lago da Silves Trail you have a cabin on a mountain, how do you put it there? I've been trying for two days and I can't put a cabin there
There is a new place to put it over there. When the dog came out, it changed that mountain a little and we had to find a new place over there to put a tent.
I was trying to get it on that side of the mount and it was practically impossible
My tent on the lake with the rocky hill( furthest left out of the four lakes) keeps getting the beaver issue, any way to fix this?

i think ima talk to the black bear king about my bear so i can be as good as him
Lol. He already has the emote. He won.
Not sure what to do once lakes are “primed” all my main lakes have 6,7 and 1 8. And my exteriors have all the females. Do I shoot the smallest males on the main lakes now?
what happens if you just rotate on the four lakes but don't shoot down you other zones
It depends on what you have on those 4 lakes. If it is all small bears, you will have low respawns. If you get lucky and have a good group of big bears, it might work out for a little. They can and will still bounce out from these lakes though.
This video is fantastic! Although is the step about killing all bears 4 and up around the map necessary, it’s just that I only got SRP yesterday so it would take me ages to do that.
It is pretty necessary to go around. You could shoot like 5 and up. The difference wouldn’t be to bad. It still requires a lot of shooting.
This isnt really working for me and wondering if I'm doing something technically wrong. Ive killed about 200 bears, killed off all the females to start after setup. I'm making the rotation on about 5 exterior lakes and the 4 shooting lakes.

I kill them all but they just reapear the next cycle.
Since the retriever released the respawns have been bouncing a lot more. You may have to expand your search to more exterior lakes.
So when grinding fallow moose etc you don't shoot the females can I ask why do you shoot females in you main zones with black bear ?
Absolutely. So with herds it can mess them up, and break your male respawns in that zone. And also create new zones. With bears, they are predators. So solo respawns, they bounce to other areas when you shoot them. It allows more males to be able to potentially respawn in that spot.
Awesome thankyou 😁👍

Are all the bears single zones?
Yes they are. Even though you see multiple bears at one drink zone. they are all solos, that happen to use the same drink zone.

I'm starting off with Whitetails but was thinking about trying to do moose and maybe Brown Bears at the same time so I wouldn't be resetting the time so much and maybe would relieve some of the hunting pressure at the same time. Or do you think I'm just biting off way more than I can chew. Another question I have for you is that when you're grinding for a G1 do you stack your diamonds like some of the other people do? I just feel like you're the one I trust the most on this subject. Thank you for this awesome video!❤❤❤
Hey! Yeah so Revontuli whitetail are really good! As long as you are hunting a minimum of 8 zones, shooting 2 per zone your hunting pressure should be gone when you get back to the first zone. Setting up moose can work, but it’s a a lot of work. I would maybe stick to just one species since you are just starting out. And yea I do stack my diamonds as well. It just makes it faster to shoot the rest of the map down.
Fantastic video! Ibuy doing the work for the community.
How many zones did you find at the other lakes you managed down? How many do I need to start the HM grind?
I start shooting right away. Start getting the females off those top lakes, and running the map to shoot high level male bears.
Thanks for putting this out. Helps a lot.
Does the new update with the fast traveling affect this strategy?
No
I got all my outer lakes only females but my respawns in my four lakes are like all 4, 5, and 6. How do I get higher levels to respawn?
There will be bigger make bears at exteriors if you are not spawning anything large in the 4 lakes.
Hi can you do a tutorial for the grind with the new drinking time ? Have a nice day
I will yes.
@@ibuypremiums thanks
The video helped me so much starting BB grind, but i do have 1 question... do you hunt the other lakes or check them and every now and them hunt them or do you have them in your rotation to hunt and those 4 lakes are the main that will spawn the g1?
I mostly just rotate the 4 lakes after they have a good amount of bears on them. But if the bears start to seem like there are less there. I will go around and check the other lakes again.
When do I shoot the ones in the four zones. New to the game
When you have about 10-15 bears that are good shootable bears in those 4 zones.
I've been playing cotw since 2019 and still haven't had a g1. I've tried herd management, right ammo, good placement shots, everything. think you can help me out? thanks.
So at my main four lakes do I shoot all the males or 5 and up males
From what i understand your supposed to have 5s and bigger top left and 3-4s anywhere else?
Correct
Do i need to use tripods or treestand? is it important to not kill the zones?
Killing the zones happens when you kill the bears. They are solos. So the zone deletes when you shoot it. It’s ok without tripods.
Is it ok too start red deer GO grind at 52 drink zones or should i find more
Is that on te Awaroa? Sounds like it should be plenty to start.
I cannot for the life of me place this tent down at 3:44 it’s very frustrating
It is a pain now. You do have to use another place. I will have to update this guide.
@ thanks man. I ended up just moving around. I appreciate al the knowledge you’ve shared. Just got to find the rest of my zones and I’ll be ready to shoot
master bear hunter
no YOU!
Ibuy thank you today i killed my first great one black bear
for the main four lakes am I only shooting small males (level 3s) and females or am I shooting everything??
Small males under level 5 and females.
If one of my bears on my main 4 lakes turns into a 2 or 3 what do I do?
You shoot it if it’s one of your main zones
My map top left four lakes have half male and female. what should I do If I want more male bears to enough for grinding
Shoot the females from there, and shoot males at other lakes. Try to get them to swap.
My drinks zones say 4-8 for black bear. This new or bug?
Nope that is right. Not a bug. The update awhile back moved black bear drink time to the day.
does it matter if you kill the bears first in the exterior lakes and then in the main lakes or if you go to both at the same time?
Doesn’t matter. I usually start on the main lakes and then move out. But you can do it how you like.
@@ibuypremiums thanks
Am I gonna need all 16 tents for this setup?
I use 9. But the others I use to quickly check other lakes in case I am missing bears.
Do I have to have all 200 zones for the moose grind on New England if so what is the least I could have?
You probably can do it without them. Just have to make sure you are getting respawns in the zones you are shooting.
So I’ve been doing a whitetail grind on Revontuli, I’ve been consistently visiting essentially all of my zones (getting through about 1/3 of my zones per rotation) my initial plan was to leave the 1’s and stack diamonds.. would I be better off condensing my grind to fewer locations?
I personally do condense down to main grinding zones. It’s much more efficient. But really, however you enjoy hunting is what you should go with.
I shot the map down, stacked all 7s-9s on 4 mains however once I started shooting my biggest 2 at each main from a tripod they dont respawn what have I done incorrectly plz help thx
I have many solos zone on my main zones, can i just shoot them? I just need a double check. And do i have to check my exterior zones often?
Black bear are all solos.
For Bears level 4 and above I just blast them all the time even if they're a 9? No stacking needed?
exactly! The only thing you want to do, is get yourself with like 10-15 shootable bears on those top 4 lakes. So if you do get a 9 up there it helps out. But a mythical is only 2 points or less off max score diamond anyways. Main thing for dime rate and what not, you do want to make sure you dont have level 6 and up scattered around the map.
@@ibuypremiums aight this means I just need to make sure all outside waterholes are devoid of 6 or higher male bears. Then I can just spam the 4 or 5 lakes. I just started setting up like 3hrs ago and I already have 11 level 4 or higher bears in those lakes. Big thanks! I might have more questions in the future!
Yep! Feel free to ask, and good luck! You can always join the discord as well. Quite a few grinders in there that are very helpful as well!@@Archonyx09
@@ibuypremiums good idea!
@@ibuypremiums I got my first GO after 500 kills using this strat! I can't thank you enough 🥲🥲
