Another wolf cull!
Since I missed the first wolf cull put on by everyone's favourite warden Doc, I would love to see another one!

Re: Another wolf cull!
I don't think any animals need a culling, but some animals need an upgrade in spawning, like all ptar species, especially the willow ptar. Maybe grizzly bears as well? I find pretty hard to find them without a bear bait, and they tend to be in the thick forests as well. I was going to say to slightly increase the bighorn population, but seeing that you have 40 kills for them, would probably make you disagree with me. Allthough I only see around 6-8 bighorns a full hunt, I can find around 15-18 ibex in that same ammount of time i spend on bighorns.

Re: Another wolf cull!
I'm not particularly interested in anymore cullings (except maybe for pigs on piccabeen...) but I do love the style of competition where the community works together to reach a goal in a set amount of time for prizes. I hope this style of event returns to EW in the future and possibly becomes a semi-regular thing. But not for permanently adjusting populations.

Re: Another wolf cull!
Reindeer would be at the top of my list for upping the spawn numbers. I have travelled for hours with very little success compared to any other species. It gets frustrating roaming around not seeing or hearing any, especially when I love hunting them.curlyCoyote wrote:I don't think any animals need a culling, but some animals need an upgrade in spawning, like all ptar species, especially the willow ptar.

I would suggest going near west map border, I always find them there.Conch wrote:Reindeer would be at the top of my list for upping the spawn numbers.

Re: Another wolf cull!
Agreed. I didn’t realize that wolf event actually adjusted the population. Did you notice a difference before and after?xOEDragonx wrote:I'm not particularly interested in anymore cullings (except maybe for pigs on piccabeen...) but I do love the style of competition where the community works together to reach a goal in a set amount of time for prizes.

Re: Another wolf cull!
I would say there are 2/5's of the original wolf population left, definitely a big difference.Conch wrote: Did you notice a difference before and after?

Re: Another wolf cull!
No kidding, I guess I don’t remember much from before the cull then. That was right in the middle of the last legs on my old machine to buying my new one so I wasn’t around as much. If that’s the case it would be cool if they’ve made it so the population slowly creeps up and another one is needed down the road...? Although I doubt that’s the case. I wonder if people complaining triggered that event to take place...?curlyCoyote wrote:I would say there are 2/5's of the original wolf population left, definitely a big difference.Conch wrote: Did you notice a difference before and after?
In any case I guess I retract wanting another cull then because I don’t think the wolf numbers are high at all at the moment.

Re: Another wolf cull!
I am 95% sure that is what happened, https://forum.thehunter.com/viewtopic.p ... population this is the closest thing I can find to the original complaining. Good thing I got my 16.8+ wolf before they culled them, It would be near impossible to find ones of that size now.Conch wrote:I wonder if people complaining triggered that event to take place...?
