If there is nothing EW can do ,at least decrease the bighorn and ptarmigant harvest achievements to 250-500 max.
AFAIK, the 200 animal population was for the oldest reserves and even RFF already has a slightly higher number due to its size. I would have expected that WRR and TT have significantly higher spawn numbers, but obviously - judging from what I read in the forum in the last few days - the new reserve needs some increase and fine tuning which will hopefully happen in the near future.

I was in game with 2 other people and we shared animals, and half the time was spent looking at stuff like the cabins and fire tower

Yesterday I hunted 2 hours in Hemmeldal for 6.5 km and was happy to harvest 5 ( 1 roe buck and 4 reindeers ) . Of course I spotted many more ( incl. quite a few female moose but no male ? ) but we don't all shoot at anything that moves ( I'm mostly looking for trophies and improving my best score ).

So you cannot compare from one player to another as we can play the game very differently. Some use towers, tree stands, blinds, barrels and feeders, tents all over the place, others ( incl. myself ) don't and make mostly stalking hunts.

But may be I'm just nuts ! :lol:

PS : to travel 10km in 1.5 hours you must be walking upright a lot of the time or even running at times ?

Both , after you take a shot everything in a radius of at least 200m got spooked so its ok to run.You may need to run over a hill. For example i dont mind shooting while running. It up to you.

Except that when you run these 200m you have a good chance to make them flee again farther ( same when you are tracking a wounded animal ). But as you say it's up to each one of us to play the game the way he likes it. :)

My point was only to say you cannot judge the ratio " number of harvested animals per hunting hour " from one player to another.

My kill rate on TgT is lower than on WRR but higher than on SC for example.
I find the popluation not problematic. White tailed ptarmigans are the exception. I know were to find one flock. That one I can spawnmesh, but after that not so many.
I will wait for their behaviour to be corrected first before taking a closer look at them.

It's been like that since it was launched, so yes the devs have been made aware many times already! But thank you :-)

Anyway could have been worse - want to hunt on Wipegrime Fridge with me? ;-)
