What proof do you need that spawning points change. Now is a good time to test that, we are five days into a new season. Are all your set ups returning the same results they were 5 days ago.BCKidd wrote: 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.
BCKidd.
I challenge all players still reading this thread to observe what is happening since this latest season start. are the animals in the same places they were during the last season or have some areas inexplicably become a waste of time.
I have positive proof that they change with the new season, not all species but many definitely do.
At the tail end of one season I had discovered a honey pot for cougars, taking threes and fours in one hunt along a track over a distance of less than a kilometer.
I put up a tent and four tree stands and hunted it four times. then change of season and not one cougar or sign seen and no calls ever heard there again.
So where did they go, back to a previous area that had been deserted a season before.
I have a tower set up from last season that is a water buffalos slaughter house. If I can find the will to hunt again this season will they still be there. I will probably have to move that set up again when I find where they have moved to.
Sure you have to find where they are each season but the incidence of large trophy scores continues to decrease. Yes there are still some big scores out there but finding them is definitely not happening with the same regularity.
Edit
Dont get me wrong. I have some set ups that have been giving great numbers of returns from several seasons back, but the number of big scoring animals from those set ups have steadily decreased. That is where my assessment regarding diminishing trophy animals comes from.
