You mean on the "black screen" in the huntermate? Ive noticed its an animal with horns on there but only if i have spotted the animal. It allways 2 animals, 1 with horn and 1 without horns when u pick up a random track... :(

As long as you see two animals, it means that the gender has not yet been determined for that individual. Once you see only 1 picture, the gender is clear. Even the pigs have (slightly) different silhouettes so that you can discriminate the female from the male.

It is more like a 60/40 actually. This is the general female to male ratio.

So if anyone knows, what would be the radius of a scent? If I understand well (which I doubt) it depends on the max render I have from where I stand when i spread it, which sounds a bit strange to me.

Is it a known thing or do the developers have kept this a secret? :)

Maybe it is cause i am tired. But im still a bit confused as to when and how to set lures and when to call.

Take loggers point. Do I want to spray the scent (when do I spray?) then climb into the wood tower and wait?

Right now I very much do the stalking style game play. Walking around following trails, occassionally blowing a caller.
