Downloading now, looks fun.

Just set it from torrent to direct download and tis downloading much faster

.

EDIT: Just got it downloaded and installed and after about 2 hours i managed to get a shot off at a dear in the open meadow. I didnt think i got it but i kept tracking and eventually tracked it down and confirmed the kill. Apparantly i shot it in the lower leg. Though now i cant find anymore deer.

Only seem to be able to attract the ladies

Do males stay in a different areas to females as I'd like to find a higher scoring buck (161 points only at the mo)

I finally got some kills earlier, 2 turkeys. Then I actually saw a deer, took a shot from quite some distance. I was prone and aiming straight for its head but I missed

Don't forget about the recoil when shooting

Especially from a long distance.

Spent the day compiling some of my recordings into a little vid. It's only a few mins and has music to accompany it, would appreciate any feedback

to say i started this thread i completly forgot about this game like 3 days later lol, have they updated it since? or owt?

Had a fairly successful hunt just now, got 3 deer though none were particularly large. I'm yet to find any decent sized ones

HummuH1 · 20 Apr 2009 at 08:44

My last 3 hunts have been terrible.

No male Elk's, Mule's or Whitetale's, loads of female's though. Nothing at my usual spots either. Very frustrating.

Also, how hard is the 306 to use? I have to be 10ft close before I can see what I'm aiming at

Finally, only just realised that you could carry both rifle's. Gives an Elk or Deer option when out.

Take the pistol instead of the 243 and you have an option for everything.

True, but I find having one rifle with no scope and a pistol with a weak scope doesn't help me out much. I've had enough of the Turkey's for a while anyway.

Although bizzarely, when I was out hunting Turkey, I was seeing loads of Elk and Deer. Now I'm hunting them, all I bloody see are Turkey's!

Really? I would have thought you would need to aim up a little to compensate for bullet drop over a large distance. Is that not right?

EDIT: Sorry, double post!

Ballistics aren't yet included in the game. I'm terrified of the day they are!Need to get my high range shots in before that day as afterwards I'll never hit again

Also, you may not have missed - remember to check your statistics a few seconds after the shot to see if you actually hit it, sometimes you do and they run off but later fall and die. Your stats will say hit accuracy 100% or whatnot.

Don't go by the kills per hit stat, that doesnt register until you confirm the kill.
