Succesful BOW Hunting Bison and Water Buffalo!!!

Post by Luziano »

These two species which are highly agressive gave me quite a headache until I learned how to succesfully hunt them.
TOGGLE AUTORUN and Charge straight at them, launching arrow after arrow (precision is not important, just try to aim at the lungs). Usually they will flee after they receive the first arrow, which basically counters their own charging strategy.

The downside is that the game starts to feel like a 1st person shooter, or maybe TheHunter Primal.
But gone are the days of being trampled to death by these beasts!

Give it a try and tell me what you think!

Quite the opposite is what I do. I let them charge and shoot one single arrow from the front. Often the brain or heart is hit. That way you often do not even scare others and can go and get the next one.

Nice. Although, I clicked the link hoping it was a video, done in the style of your Val de Bois run/climb. :D :lol:
Working 2 jobs doesn't leave enough time for hunting! :(

38 bison in 1½ hours and I had left the house for 15 minutes after the first kill.
