And a third bison mission!

• Identify 3 unique types of tracks from 3 different bisons

Got lucky and had tracks from 3 different bisons just in front of me when I got the mission.

The tracks you have to find.

• Footprints from 1 bison
• Need zone from 1 bison (I found a resting place)
• Droppings from 1 bison

Note that each track type must come from another bison. I.e. if you find dropping and need zone from the same bison, only the first one will count.

Hope this helps someone out there!

Another Bison mission!

This time we will:

• Travel to Rinderland Gorge
• Spot a bison

This one took me a while also. Tracked in total 7 bisons but they all left the area of the mission. Lastly I just settled in the hunting stand in the area and went to brew some coffee. When I came back there were bisons just in front of me. So binoculars and spot one, mission done.

Bisons!

Mission outline:

• Travel to Rinderland Gorge
• Find the carcass and retrieve a blood sample

This one took a while, my best tip is to get a 4x4 from an outpost and then just drive around until you see a white bison body  and then drive up to it and harvest it.

I found it while driving downhill from the hunting stand towards the lookout. But as we all know this game, it may be random.

Spoiler: the cause of the 'illness' seems to be lead poisoning based on the harvest screen that states that the bison was killed with a .454 Flat Nosed Hard-Cast Bullet..... Guess there was some kind of limitation in the game engine : )

A straight forward side mission. Go to a specific place and shoot an animal.
The mission is:

• Travel to Schonfeldt Windmills
• Harvest wildlife downed with a scoped weapon from a hunting stand

No fancy stuff here.

I chose to go to the lookout place to the west of Schonfeldt Windmills first to get the lay of the land and from there sneak to a hunting stand. 

I also got lucky that there was animals in the area so I just had to spot one, take aim and take the shot.

A fun mission that did not take hours and hours and hours to complete. Or I just got lucky on the first try.

Hope this helps someone out there!

Another photo quest! I really don't like these but at least this time it did not bug out at the last possible moment!

Mission details:

• Travel to southeastern Petershain
• Find a Fallow Deer
• Make sure you have the Königsberg Lake in the background
• Take a photo

This one has taken me 3 calendar weeks to complete. And maybe 20 hours game time (also doing other stuff while just waiting for animals to appear)

The first week I found a Fallow Deer but I guess the bush around the shoreline was too thick to get a good photo. After that I've tried different tactics among others to wait prone on rocks around their need areas but with no luck at all.

What I did when I finally got the picture.

• Starting out at the outpost in southeastern Petershain
• Slowly make my way to the hunting tower on the hill
• Get distracted by a red fox and spend 5 minutes to try to lure it from the hunting stand
• Remember my mission and exit the hunting stand
• Move slowly toward north
• Spot a Fallow Deer at 70 meters
• Crawl towards the Fallow Deer and try not to make any noises
• Loose sight of the Fallow Deer
• Panic and crawl a little more
• At 44 meters spot it again as it is moving
• Bring up camera and click away and get lucky that one photo gets accepted

No luck all skill! Hehe, maybe not.. As all missions in this game, its pure random. One can spend 3 hours trying to find a Fallow Deer with no luck or find it the first thing within 12 minutes and complete the mission.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Where to find coyotes in Cheelah!

Tweet

You don't find coyotes, the coyotes find you.

But on a more serious note.

A lot of coyote hunting missions in theHunter Call of the Wild take place in the Cheelah area. Let's look at good spots to find coyotes!

Around the Cheelah Lake

Map of Cheelah Lake with my best coyote hunting areas marked with red

This area is a pain but there are missions that require you to locate coyotes around the Cheelah Lake. My best luck has been in the woods on the northern shore and up in the eastern mountains.

And my best tactic in this area has been:

• Do something else entirely and let them spot you
• Stop, crouch or crawl towards the sound and at the same time use the caller to attract their attention.
• Keep track so that the coyote does not have time to circle you and try to spot it with your binoculars
• Take the shot or crawl closer to get a photo

In the Cheelah area in general

If I need to go coyote hunting in the Cheelah area in general I would go to the mountain to the north of the Cheelah Hiking Village (red square on the map above). Here I have found packs of coyotes from time to time and in general got most of my harvests here.

Here the best tactic is to follow tracks as there usually are multiple coyotes in this area. Only a few times that I've not found any up here in the mountains.

In the Cheelah Hiking Village area, the blue square is your friend. But you need a lot of patience and call, and call and call before you might have luck to spot one. Be prepared to return multiple times before you encounter your prey here in this area.

Here in the blue square, sitting still and calling is your best tactic.

As always with this game, no guarantees. The randomness is just pure hell and a lot of patience is needed for any hunt that you do!

If you find this helpful, or have other experiences in the Cheelah area regarding coyotes, don't hesitate to leave a comment!
