The .308 works great for me I also bought the .338 and you get a lot of meat loss on 6 tier animals you only need that for long distance I lost over 100 lbs on an elk at 200 yards
i've noticed that even though I only use bolt action rifles, every kill counts towards my shotgun and lever action also. I'll have my other guns maxed out soon and not even have used them.
I’m loving the videos and got the game on release just got my first 5 star it was a moose I watched grow from a 3 star adult can’t wait to see all the trophies yet to come good luck hunting everyone
Flinter, you talking fur colour, I shot a mature female moose yesterday it’s fur was nearly white. Great video! I’m finding this the most realistic out of all the hunting games I’ve played. Scenery on a 4K monitor is insane.
I feel like 4k monitor is a must to enjoy it in total. I play on 2k and it seems like the graphics are too sharp, like if there was not enough of pixels on my screen to represent all the details.
@@Marcin79W I’ve both 2k and 4 k monitors, do a bit of playing about in Photoshop. The game look’s definitely better in 4K. The new map looks just beautiful. Trees, foliage, grass and rocks look more realistic, so hats off to the devs. The only place I think needs improvement is the weather, clouds, rain and even the odd snow fall in the mountains would be cool. Especially after having a quick race in Assetto Corsa with light shaders patch you notice the difference. I’m running a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AORUS MASTER and ryzen 7 5800x. Also my monitor is running through DisplayPort at 30 bit colour output that might improve it a bit more also.
@@Marcin79W is for me. I have no frame tearing at all, frame rates are ok, after all it isn’t a fast frame rate game. My cpu and card are slightly over clocked and I’m running 16 gigs of 4400 ram also. Temps are good in my rig.
I was a little bummed hunting my black bighorn. I got close to the zone and he was standing right in the circle in my line of sight. Super easy clean shot. I was hoping for a little more. Also I try not to crawl because I absolutely do not want the last perk for prone
That's funny. That happened to me with Hollywood (stopped the jeep, pulled up the binoculars and "whoa there's Hollywood") so I thought it would be the same with the black sheep. Boy was I wrong. I put in the stalk of a lifetime for him.
the prone (and crouch) perks are poorly worded. the last perk for prone doesn't change your default prone. it gives you the ability to press "control" to go into slower prone movement. so it's a toggle-able prone option. the crouch perk gives you the ability to "sprint-crouch" but if you just normal crouch that is also unchanged.
Press x to drop red marker. Hold x to place multiple blue markers. So handy when shooting at multiple targets and you need to mark the first shot area.
so everybody that has played this game knows that at the very end of the tutorial it has you go out in the grassland and kill your very first deer on your own. well idk how rare this is but my very first encounter was a 99% 5 star trophy mature mule deer. it’s currently sitting in my lodge thanks to you flinter. without watching these videos beforehand i never would’ve been able to know where to shoot and how to take him down! keep up the great content
Do you think they should increase the spotting distance? It like 260 yards and in this game I find myself sneaking way more than I need to just to see what is what
In the encyclopedia section it has a weight range listed next to the years for maturity, is that a more consistent way to tell their expected years once they’re down? Like for the one @19:43 , it says it’s 404 lbs at 77%, and encyclopedia tops out at 440 lbs, so is there the potential for a few more years to get to that weight range? Aka, potential to get to 5 star?
Flinter you should try and get ahold of way of the hunter creators and ask for bows and spoting scopes for long range and maybe better scopes more different guns
I think they should give you an age in the harvest screen so you can base what it looks like on actual age. Would make judging age and when to shoot way easier when you learn how the looks of the animal changes compared to age.
I’m super struggling with tracking. I’ve shot like 12 different deer and I’ve found two. I follow the blood trails but they just stop cold with no animal at the end. I’ve even gone 100+ meters all the way around the area even with photo mode, no animal. Would love to play but I’m not getting anywhere with it. Now since the update my fps sucks. Guess I’ll wait for the next update. Anyways, I go back COTW and boom 9 Legendary (grey) Raccoon Dog and a level 3 Bicolor Willow Ptarmigan. Yup😉 I’m good😎🤘. Great video!!👍👍👌
Flinter, can you please put a tutorial up on how to use the photo mode on PC? I have had a terrible time using it. It seems so unrealistic to move around with the way the controls are set up. Please help because you seem to be able to move along just fine. Thank you!
How are you liking this game? The environment is gorgeous and the models look good for the most part. The racs look a little funky on some animals but as long as that every animal feels like it has a a unique genetic code I can live with it
The models are the best by any hunting game, the antlers and animal behaviour is the best that any hunting game has ever released, the racs are the most realistic and not "funky" looking, COTW had the most "funky" looking antlers so I'm glad to be done with that game..
I imagine they get ‘eaten’ or die of poor dental condition and therefore from parasites and malnutrition. It be cool if the game was played in seasons so you could see that behaviour and perhaps choose what you take based on those behaviours
Just shot a young 4 star and found another young 4 star young whitetail along with a 5 star mule deer. All within a couple of hours (first save got a fatal bug). Anyone know if they’re bugged?
So I know this has nothing to do with this video. But I think these hunting games are great especially for someone like me. That had a gaming PC but never could get into it trying to transition from controller to a keyboard. So do u or can u make a video on a PC beginner. Trying to get better at playing on keyboard but also trying not to get frustrated with it to quit the game. Or any hints.
Im guessing you recorded this before the update, but i still wanna ask if you've checked it out yet? I finally feel like I can play. The standard FOV made me nauseated.
Press "H" to put on your headlamp, it gives better light inside the cabin to look at trophies
It's down on the d'pad for Xbox for better lighting too

@@dutchaus5813 Thank you for getting back. Is it enough (3070Ti + 5800x) to run it in 4k ultra details?

@@dutchaus5813 Thanks, I appreciate it!
both rivers down in that region are amazing for both kinds of deer.
Some nice looking bucks there. Good hunt as always

It took me at least 4 hours of time trying to catch him in the right zone and not thick trees 🤣
Damn, well I guess I'm glad it wasn't that difficult but I would have liked to hunt him lol
@@mattwinget ya definitely could of been me being dumb too 🤣

On my game every animal killed with a rifle counts as a bolt action and lever for the perks
when you're selecting the trophy to mount there is an option called change diorama "Q" wich changes the animal's position
Woth or cotw?
In photo mode increase the exposure and it will brighten up
How long in real time do you wait for them to mature more?
So tempted to watch this video. But I also don’t want any spoilers on the black bighorn cuz I’m currently stuck on this challenge now
The lake in the NE had 3 different 5 star big horn and Mountain Goat when i first unlocked the area on the north side of the lake

Anyone know what the drums represent when you look in a particular direction? Sounds like Natives pounding on the bongos.
The black bighorn I got also only had one horn when not in the harvest screen or trophy lodge, definitely threw me off a lot.
Man RUclips absolutely loves playing ads at every single video when he pulls the trigger on a nice deer
funny flinter man makes another cool video
How long roughly does it take for animals to step up in trophy rating ?
Fire video man
I've been doing pretty good with my mule deer lately shot 3 5 stars in 8 hours of play
I was playing earlier and had a 3 star young whitetail
Flinter, can you please put a tutorial up on how to use the photo mode on PC? I have had a terrible time using it. It seems so unrealistic to move around with the way the controls are set up. Please help because you seem to be able to move along just fine. Thank you!
I got my first 5 star White tail deer yesterday.there was Actually 2 and the heard so I shot 1 of them
What are your graphics settings?
How are you liking this game? The environment is gorgeous and the models look good for the most part. The racs look a little funky on some animals but as long as that every animal feels like it has a a unique genetic code I can live with it

Do you think there’s going to be rares like albinos in way of the hunter
Hey flinter does a 270 to 310 estimate whitetail count as a big male
Hold it after you fire it will stop you from rechambering another round
11:50 i swear it looks like theres a bigfoot watching near the middle of the screen.
😳
What background music do you use?
If you let your five stars go for a bit. Will it spawn better bucks with higher genetics?
I imagine they get ‘eaten’ or die of poor dental condition and therefore from parasites and malnutrition. It be cool if the game was played in seasons so you could see that behaviour and perhaps choose what you take based on those behaviours
The 308 is broken!😂
I've seen 85% make 5 star. Lowest I've seen though
flinter when is early acsess for the angler
@text9174 what did i win
A bittersweet thing about my save is my first animal I shot in the game was a 5 star whitetail. Now I don’t have to grind for one…
Just shot a young 4 star and found another young 4 star young whitetail along with a 5 star mule deer. All within a couple of hours (first save got a fatal bug). Anyone know if they’re bugged?
Let them youngins grow up so they breed

Flinter i challenge you to do a huge bighorn hunt to try and beat my record of a 498 scoring bighorn. ill give proof if you want
How do you get campsites in this game?
You gotta find them on the map😄 sometimes the ?’s are campsites, others are towers, lookout points etc
@@Flintergaming ohhhh ok thank you sorry if I sounded dumb I’m just used to COTW tents where you have to buy bad place them
This game looks rewarding and satisfying..its milion times better than Cotw...but i cant run IT for sure 🤣
Im guessing you recorded this before the update, but i still wanna ask if you've checked it out yet? I finally feel like I can play. The standard FOV made me nauseated.
I know, i wasn't able to play with the default fov
Yep this was recorded a day earlier 😄 I still need to check it out. I’m currently recording theAngler for early access
@@Flintergaming Im excited for theAngler!!
What scope is that btw I look it
Thats the Leupold scope. The highest zoom and most expensive one
nice :)
I wish you could sell guns back I’d like to sell back the .243 and 7-08 now that I got the .308
I was playing while watching this video, saw a legendary difficulty coyote, took a shot and missed vitals… fml
I think the racks are too thin
two
Paying for areas is a waste you get paid to do the missions and hunt for free.
trophys are going to be much harder to get post patch now. you should reset your lodge.
Third
hey man does this game include any bad language
Lol
Tell your parents I said its fine
No bad fuckin language from the shit I've seen
To much talking
