The penetration means you've more chance of getting a vital hit though. Red Deer pay well, herds can be found in Ernsdorf near the river inlet, ching ching!!Д©) Know your ammo, if using polymer tip and you don't get a vital hit, you'll get a flesh wound and it's pretty harmless to the animal, you'll track for hours in-game and real time trying to find it! This is especially true for big game like moose or bison.

Repeat until none come back after about 5 minutes and they go elsewhere. Call them back and wait 2 or 3 minutes maybe, kill another.

I found it best to use the skills to link the trails together with dots/line then arrow showing direction, makes tracking trails much easier.ДЁa) Don't let the purple/high hunt pressure area thing make you move from the area if there's animals there after you got a kill.ДЁb) Get used to the roe caller and deer bleat caller.ДЁc) If you find a herd, hide under a tree and call them. Possibly get a hunting stand near a lake where you have a wide unblocked view in many directions where animals might travel through, and you can afford it, don't grind for it.Д§) Skill up/perk up appropriately. Then you can fast travel to them to get around easier.Д¦) Don't waste money early on for hunting stands/ground blinds, get more guns/bows/sights/callers first. Thought it might be useful to have some tips all in one thread for absolute beginners to get their bearings with the game, so here's my effort.ДЎ) This isn't Rust, you won't catch an animal running after it.Дў) Patience is key, you can sneak around for a long long time, and still not even find a track, never mind get a shot off!ДЈ) Turn your lamp on at night (L) (6pm-6am) I think, or you won't see trails.Д¤) Change the trail colour to suit your own preference, some people choose red, I find blue easier to spot.ДҐ) Travel around a lot at the beginning, mainly to Lookout points (binoculars symbol) They will point out the Outposts so you can unlock them without running around aimlessly.
