I've done that and one time I found it very rewarding. I traveled to a spot on Whitehart I've never been, and it looked promising so I threw up a tree stand. In two trips back to that spot, I've harvested 5 bucks, 1 Roosevelt elk buck, 5 coyotes and 5 tom turkeys, plus does and turkey hens. All in all, very nice.BCKidd wrote:Here is a thought- change your hunting style.

I will agree that it seems as though a lot of the bigger animals are gone, but could it be that they really aren't and that we are relying on what once was and not what is now. Perhaps routes and technics we have used in the past need to change. The big ones are still there.
I host community comps as most of you know, and with every comp I host folks are finding trophy animals. In all the EW comps folks are winning them, aren't they? SO we cannot say that the animals are no longer present- just that we aren't finding them as easily as perhaps we once did. Is that a bad thing?

I can't understand your statement, why you should change your hunting style, which you have learned and honed over the years, because of empty reserves. It's like your car's tires were slashed, and rather than repairing/changing them, you change your driving style learning to drive on the rims It makes no sense. EW is the only one that should be dealing with this bad situation, and resolve it. Otherwise I think they are fine with it.BCKidd wrote:Here is a thought- change your hunting style.

Actually, it is more like if someone slashed your tires, you get new tires to drive on. Or, it is really more like if a road you normally travel gets washed out with rains or a flood... you must take a different route to get to your destination.1Al wrote:I can't understand your statement, why you should change your hunting style, which you have learned and honed over the years, because of empty reserves.

That's exactly what I meant... maybe the programming figured out that places were being overhunted. After all, we may hunt alone sometimes, but we do all share the same maps.OldMtnMan wrote:A hot spot for me should stay a hot spot until I over hunt it.
Anyway, I'm done with hunting games. It was fun at first but has become boring. No challenge. Tired of so much killing. You never get that in real hunting.

Really- No challenge? You aren't finding the Elk you want- that is the challenge, go find them. It would be less of a challenge if you found them in every expedition. Which is what it reads to me that you want. So, perhaps no challenge is the wrong verbage, perhaps it should be too much of a challenge. Anyway, we'll see you back here again sometime.OldMtnMan wrote:A hot spot for me should stay a hot spot until I over hunt it.

That is basically it, yep. I do think spawning points change, but I can't confirm that one way or the other. That is how it seems to me tho', so I overcome that by doing things differently. It does seem to work.splainin2do wrote:Actually, it is more like if someone slashed your tires, you get new tires to drive on.

Perhaps after all these years, the "hot spots" are being overhunted, so there is less time for the critters there to grow huge. You know, just like in real life. After all, this *is* a hunting simulation, right?
