theHunter Call of the Wild - Bhandari #5


This time we will be hunting bisons, not just for photos..

Mission details:
  • Harvest a male bison weighing at least 700 kg
No area restrictions in this so I decided to move south to the Rinderland Gorge area. There are usually always bison tracks on the path from the outpost to the hunting stand so that's where I begun.

Directly when I hit the open ground I saw 2 bisons, one male and a female. Why I didn't take a shot there directly is the question. But after a while of tracking (moving in crouched position) I came up on them again and downed the male.
Less then 700 kg but I found tracks of another bison in the 650-800 range and started tracking that one. But again no luck.
And again found tracks of another and tracked it for a while until I got a shot at it and it was also less then 700 kg.
Lastly I found tracks of a beast of 745-90 kg and thought that it for sure would be more then 700 kg. The tracks went a little back and forth around the area and then suddenly it was 50 meters from me, a quick shot with my Rangemaster got in a flesh wound, I guess the game bugged a little as I found it standing 10 meters from the first hit and was able to put 2 more bullets in it before it went down.
Harvest results: 745 kg, mission completed.

Not my cleanest hunt in this game but was kind of fun at least. Took some questionable shots but in the end this is just a game, not the kind of shots I would take on a real hunt.

Another bison quest. This time a photo challenge in the Ernsdorf area.

Mission details:
  • Take a picture of 3 different bisons in Ernsdorf

I managed to sneak a picture of a bison directly after completing the #3 mission, he also got me pretty good in the night time and I had to restart at an outpost. (still the picture counted)
My tactic for the rest of this mission was to do it in day time, didn't like the bisons during night.
Mainly I ran around the mountain in the northern Ernsdorf until I found some tracks and started following them while crouched.

The thing with bisons seems to be that they just suddenly appear in front of you if you have done everything right, i.e. no sound and sneaking around stealthily. I ran into a horde of them and just clicked some pictures and finished the mission.

Time has come for our first real bison hunt. No area restrictions, so I decided to try my luck in the Ernsdorf area.

The mission is as follows
  • Harvest a female bison at night

As I did not have any big game weapon I first decided to grind roe deer, red deer and red fox until I got 60000 for the Rangemaster 338. That took a while but was a lot of fun.

Once I had the rifle, I set out into Ernsdorf in the late afternoon with the intention to find bison tracks before nightfall. Once I did I started to follow them and pretty soon in became dark and I had to use my flashlight.

Bisons move a lot and even their walk is fast, so be sure to be silent but fast to catch up. Probably you will catch them at their next need zone.
Spot a single female bison with your binoculars and aim low behind the front leg.

Move forward and harvest it. Be aware of the other bison in the area as they may decide to kill you.
