Whitetail deer -11816 -3196 Red feather lodge, I track it and the "tracking halo" around the animal is about 5 feet from the last blood splatter tracked. As I approach disappears with no animal in the grass. However my partner sees it plain as day on here lap top, its laying there breathing at my feet. She, shoots it's melon point blank. I see the blood platters, I put 5 rounds from my side arm where I think it should be, dust kicks up and the blood stains from her shot slowly disappears on both our screens still no animal on my PC but its still on hers breathing.

This happened to me three days ago with a whitetail buck on Logger's Point. Although I do not have the coordinates, it happened on a small incline near the Three Lakes area. I shot it head-on through the chest (likely through heart, as it dropped immediately with no wound time) with the 7mm Magnum Bullpup rifle. It happened on a multiplayer server if that has any relevance. I was still able to identify its tracks and the blood spatter was on the ground and trackable, but I was still unable to harvest the animal. Thinking it had something to do with the incline (although less than 45°), I even tried to roll it somewhat by standing on it and attempting to push it, but it never helped at all. I notified the host and he simply said it's a common glitch, but I figured I would post it in the relevant topic as a heads up.

Joined a multiplayer hunt, shot a great whitetail 175+, couldn't harvest him, got all people on the server to attempt a harvest, didn't register, ended up shooting it with almost all weapons in the game, still didn't register as dead. Was a real bummer. It's body ended up disappearing, leaving on the rack. I've got screenshots somewhere.

Hi guys and Galls at EW. Just to let you know i have had the problem of being unable to pick up animals on the 2nd day of a hunt. Hunting on VDB. Day 1 no problems, roll over to next day and track 2 nice size brown bears. I made shots on them and they go down. I then proceed to harvest them but they wont pick up. All is per normal i can track there tracks OK, I see there blood trails etc , but when i get to the bears and press the left button on the hunter-mate to collect, Nothing happens. Very frustrating. I proceed to shoot and successfully harvest other animals after this with no problems. The issue seems to only affect Brown bears on day two of a hunt.
