Finally got my rudolph, with a 255m shot across a valley to another hilltop, where I ended up with a body shot! Doh! Fortunately, he didn't run far!

Many thanks to SRV on his tips for hunting reindeer. With his pointers I was able to complete the mission where you have to harvest 3 reindeer in one hunt. I didn't see any rudolphs during that hunt, so I went back to my spawn mashing ways and finally found my rudolph! Yay, thank god that's done!
Congrats on your Rudolph, jttoo.

Thanks Herajika!

You should have seen me when I got over to the distant hilltop and saw that it was only a body shot, I was afraid that it was going to run off and recover.

I am quite happy with the results from the 7mm Scout so far. It is really good for long shots using the tripod. Rock steady scope view at 200m+. I originally got the weapon hoping that it would effective on fox, and it does a real good job at taking down foxes with the HV ammo, even dropping them consistently when you get body shots, which seems to happen a lot with fox (either that or I'm just a bad shot with them).

It's a very nice rifle. I have it too. If only bipod was optional. It's a little frustrating when you want to make a shot from the top of a big boulder for example and the game tells you that bipod can't be used from that position. Ok, fine, don't use bipod then, why do you refuse me aiming at all while prone? :D But, yes, it's still quite nice rifle and it's not even hard to use it while crouching.

:D :D :D I finally found the golden present after driving over the fields of Hirschfelden for over an hour. 2380 Present $ is enough for the first level.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and good luck on the hunt ;)

Needed to find a Blacktail doe track for the daily mission. Bagged 3 Turkeys but wasn't sure if I would get 2 presents or 10 as technically they are "birds". I'm pleased to say they are worth 10. Another 177 presents and I'm at the first prize level. Good hunting all.

I'm chiming in a little late here, didn't know there was a discussion on the holiday event until now. I'm surprised in all 9 pages of comments nobody else has brought this up. I'm very glad the scoring glitch was finally fixed, been looking forward to that a long time. However, ever since the event started, I've hunted Hemmeldal a lot and I'd have to say, the total reindeer numbers seem to be about 25-35% what they were just before the event. It's relatively difficult to find any reindeer at all now, and a lot of other people I've talked to in my servers are seeing the same. Anyone else who has hunted reindeer quite a bit at any point in the past noticed this? I considered it could somehow be related to the event (although probably not intentional), but at the same time I never noticed a substantial drop in reindeer spawns in any previous Christmas events. What's everyone think about this?
