What rule says you cannot do this?
That is the part to which I refer the rule.
RULES
What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners’ hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.



And my question was: To what extent can a player do a hunt on the same map shooting almost in the same place, and on different hunts? Without this not being taken into consideration to a point of exploits!
Note: I am your fan.
Just one question.

It is likely a spawn point. Competitors that find spawn points go to those spots all the time. It isn't a very competitive way to compete, but it probably isn't an exploit either. ;) Peace,

Check out the place, if not for this competition, maybe for another time when you are looking for Sambar Deer.

Why not? You only have to find a huge 67.1kg goat! :D

It's just about luck and patience. Goats are all around the Bushrangers map.

870 pucks achieved, that's enough for me, 5 visits to Bushrangers and not spotted a goat that scored over 55. Well done to you competition leaders.

No offense intended to any of the competitors, but this is clearly a seam in the fabric of the game, like shooting 50 or 60 Black bears in one real time hour.

In the past, sometimes, EW has taken steps to 'repair' these seams or have altered the event when it becomes an issue. Make no mistake, this is an exploit, much like Fast Traveling to a tent is with no form of penalty, in time lost to travel the distance, or especially in spooking the animals nearby.

Hopefully this problem attracts the attention it deserves. This is why BCKidd's comps are currently superior to EW's events: he makes steadfast rules to protect against exploits, and all players are required to abide by them. Once again, no disrespect intended to the competitors, I would do exactly the same thing. May the best competitor win.
