The Parking Lot.... [deer reacting to calls]

Post by komototx »

Just wanted to throw out there that I believe the calling for Whitetails is kind of off and not to realistic. I have been hunting Whitetails IRL for 18 years. Now I understand the need for the animal to react to a call and that the curiosity of the animal is what brings them in, BUT I am noticing that when I call to a deer that deer comes and parks under my tree. Once that deer starts to leave and more come in I call again and now I got 2 parked under my tree and the slingshot effect continues. I have had up to 5 deer directly under my stand like a parking lot of deer.

My suggestion
Make deer react to call, but establish a curiosity no closer than 25-30m from player location.

I agree. And make reaction probability, reaction times, incoming paths, area of attraction and duration of staying attracted upon reaching the target more random.

Completely agree. The way animals respond to calls and lures is the most unrealistic part of the game.
