Yes the first deer I shot as an example did die, most likely because I shot it with the 7mm. If I were to make a bad shot like that with a smaller caliber, it most likely would have shook it off. That wasn’t the point of this video though, it was to show people the easiest ways for TRACKING, not hunting pressure. Thank you.

It is a good indicator that you should track the animal to find the body though, he died far away and you'd need to track it to find it. :D

What stupid is I’ve spent over 45min tracking one deer then I got so confused because I kept following the wrong tracks also how do you unblock perks?

The biggest issue for me is that I don’t know when to stop running/walking and start crouching. I also end up spooking the animal and I end up tracking it for like 40 minutes running around in circles until I give up. The game gives little to no help with this either. Like if I don’t walk, then I end up crouching and moving at 10cm/hour. If I walk at a reasonable pace, I end up spooking the animal before I’ve even spotted it. Super frustrating. It’s so difficult to see the animal in the foliage as well 😟

Wear headsets , crank up volume to the max - crouch as soon as you hear some footsteps or brushing sounds chances are animal is very close. Rain / winds brushing on tree sounds you can make a little bit of noise and get away with it. Not sure if its helpful but all the best.

Ive learned to just explore and take in the game how beautiful it looks n stuff. which is weird for me cuz i usually play hack n slash games , or games like warzone, GTA, Fifa, nba and games like that but this one has been my go to game lately. i just love how relaxing it is. ill throw on some headphones and just chillout. but yes it does get frustrating at times. specially when you keep shooting and hitting an animal and none of them go down. im only 2 weeks in so well see how far this goes lol

If you have spotted it the basic rule of thumb is you can get to 150 running 100 walking 75 crouched and from there you gotta crawl. And too be honest I have no clue how to tell just how close you are if you haven't seen it yet.

I’m still getting the hang of it, but this is what works for me, since I don’t like rotating between need zones and farming kills, just feels like gaming the AI to me, I prefer roaming and stalking. I usually run to what looks like an area nearby id like to hunt, then start walking it, checking my surroundings with binoculars. Eventually I will hear a mating or warning call, and if it’s close by, I’ll crouch, if it’s far I’ll walk a bit then crouch, and investigate the area for tracks/droppings to see how long ago they were there and where they went. From that point I’m stalking it crouching, and it usually doesn’t take long to find it. If it’s taking too long I’ll give up and move on. Since you’ve been moving quietly while tracking, there’s a good chance you’ll hear other animals too. This tends to work well for me, I get enough action to satisfy me. I will say, these are tips for beginners like me. You won’t find diamond animals like this, because they rarely call and are a lot more skittish. You probably have to farm need zones for that. As for always getting a “very low” blood trail and never dropping the animal quickly, I had this problem too and quit for years before giving it another go. The key was the polymer tip ammo for better penetration, or a larger caliber. Every animal has a class rating that you can see when tracking it, and every ammo type has an acceptable class. For soft point ammunition, assume the ammo is more underpowered than it says. The starter rifle and ammo says it should be able to drop deer but you need a really good shot for that, especially for larger species of deer. I recommend going for a few smaller animals until you can buy the 270, then you can get some larger animals and you will quickly unlock the polymer tips. At that point, as long as you’re getting good shots and using the proper ammo, animals will drop a lot quicker and sometimes even immediately. It’s tough at first since they give you an underpowered rifle and don’t do a good job teaching you the mechanics of the game. But after a couple hours you’ll start getting the hang of it. Avoid sprinting and using the atv unless you’re unlocking waypoints or placing tents. Lakes at sunrise and sunset tend to have a good amount of activity around them if you’re really itching for some action. Hope this helps someone

This is definitely the most frustrating part of the game for me. Tracking an animal for what feels like 10 miles and never finding them. This guide was awesome, extremely helpful.

As a level 60 with over 500 hours in game I still found this helpful lol but great job if somebody asks me how to track I’m going to send them to this video

Im an absolute noob with 6 hours in, ive only had 3 kills but maaan im bad at tracking, i can track a black bear for an hour then get distracted by a moose and try to kill it only to lose it too after i shoot it and cant find it. It seems that after I follow the tracks they just stop appearing its so confusing. Still, great video, maybe it wouldve been more helpful if you had reset your skills and shown us an example of tracking for noobs!

do the DLC dog help you find the wounded animal.

I made a comment earlier about the bloodhounds, but I'll say it again here. If ever anyone is finding tracking "too easy", there is the option of turning off the particle effects and the track highlighting. This makes tracking quite challenging. With the doggo DLC, your bloodhound will track your target's blood trail quite well. With the track highlighting off, he'll still track. This amps up the realism factor if that's your thing.

He left out tons of useful information as well. I think the video would have been better served if he would have started a new account and was like a noob. You can totally have a low bleed rate and still take down the animal. The best way for me to tell if an animal has gone down is to keep track of the hunting pressure. If you see a new hunting pressure then you have a kill. In his video the second time he went to the map it looked as if he actually killed that deer but I wasn’t paying that close attention. Another useful bit he left out was at the center of your hinting pressure is where you took your shot. So if you can’t find that first bleed mark that will help you find it. Tracking can be very straight forward but many times it’s not. So critters like to go right back to the ver their tracks and really confuse the hell out of you when tracking. Yes one set is on way and the other is the other but time to time critters stop and spin around and really throw you for a loop. If you lose your track make a large box search pattern around where you last track it and you can normally pick the trail back up. I have had animals that were 0-25% left and the trail went stone cold. Spent an hour searching and could not find it or sign of it.

How do you know when to stop running/walking/crouch walking, and also relating to their droppings ? I often sprint for probably too long following a wounded animal and it spooks almost endlessly trying to flee from me.

Check the map to see if hunting pressure shows up. Hunting Pressure shows up on the map the moment an animal dies from being shot. And since the Hunting Pressure is centered where the animal was when it was shot, you know that blood trail leads to a dead animal.

new player here, your videos are very helpful

First day A roe deer I shot is in the thick woods area and the tracks have fallow deer tracks overlapping it

I found that if I shoot a deer or an elk and it runs off, that kind of like real hunting not to track it immediately. I wait for about 1 minute real time before I begin tracking. Usually find the animal dead in under 100 yards. When I track it immediately after my shot I’ve tracked an elk 900 yards before finding it dead before.

I dont have the glow.. i lost it somehow, i try to reset all my settings, delete the game and downlode it agein, and still no treaking, i can find blood and footsteps but not the glowing thing, i cant see where the animal headed

Lol even as a level 60 with over 500 hours in game I still found this helpful but other than that you did a great job explaining

good tips nice one risky

But I think that the first deer did die. You can see that by the increased hunting pressure.

Does anyone know how to remedy the constant crashing in multiplayer? Always seems to happen after we've killed an animal and walk towards it 😥

Thanks for your help

Thanks man

but my question lets say i spawn and i see the tracks of an coyote lets say and i follow the tracks and when he does the warning call and he just runs away

Can you do or do you have one explaining diamonds and score?

I been playing for few months and it seem like i turn off the track off but I didn’t I don’t see the track not even the blood and my game has been crashing

Tip check for hunting presure to se if the animal has died

I have no idea how you would have made it any faster without leaving out important context.

Ppl trip for nothing. I love animals so much but hunting in game is way different from irl. Sadly some cant differ. I just got my 7mil and not sure what scope is best. Been using the stock scope from the beginner rifle.

On Xbox how do I get animals highlighted I see?

the fact that the red deer actually died

The best option could be if u didnt hit a vital organ forget that and hunt another until u do

Some people... are just a lil too weird like that... LOL!!!! Classic!

People would be surprise, I'm a "rasta" smoking weed, never kill other thing than fish and insects, I eat meat like once per month.... But I love this game, it is so addictive!! *To me, video games are made to do stuff that you will never do in real life!!* (I try my best to do one shot one kill with 100% quick kill. Playing clean is the point for me, but to be honest, most of the time even a small wound in the flesh kill most animals if you follow the tracks enough, just check the map (or the phone) for the pressure zone, it can appear even like 5/10min after the shot)
