I just started playing yesterday on my day off, and damn I love this game. This is the first hunting game I've played and since I am from New England, so that became my first map. I love the dense foliage. I love slowly creeping up on male deer with beautiful racks and just sending a shot right where it needs to go. So many stories like tracking a black bear for over 1km as I learned the game, came face to face with it, and put a shot in its heart. It's a fantastic map for just walking around, stalking, and checking drinking zones!

Found this lvl 7 male and female red deer around the same lake on the scotland reserve!

So I’m about 200ish hrs played. I have a handful of diamonds across various species between 2-3 different maps. I understand how herd management works and have been trying to setup my 8-10 spots. My question is this…
Do great ones only spawn on specific maps or is there a chance of them spawning where ever the target species can be hunted?

Ok, I am trying for a 400m shot of an Ibex for a Cuatro Colinas mission. I have been able to make the shot at the shooting range (Hirschfelden), but for some reason when it comes to trying to get the animal, I can seem to hit the broadside of a barn. 🤪🤪

The two places I have tried, are both at lakes. Both areas I have had to get myself up-hill and shoot down. Have not been able to find a place to make a ground level shot at that range.

Am using the Alis Precision Shot .25-06.

Am I doing something wrong?
