They call them "rare"... :)

Actually I also shot 1 NT during that same time and 1 rare fur on another map, so I actually shot 11 in about 4 weeks time.
Of those 11 I shot 9 in just one week's time and you shot only 2 rares in 1200 hours? Wow.... that's just crazy! :shock:

those areas look in similar places aswell.or known whitetail hotspots.

rares can be very rare for some people.i think a lot depends on how you hunt.great selection though. 8-)

Can you give me some tips about how I should hunt or where I should hunt?

Of course I don't run, nor do I shoot at the first doe I see. I have tried scent cover, crouch walking, prone walking, stalking from towers, do as best as I could to remain unseen and glass all the time around me.

I've recently had a hunt in which I didn't see any tracks whatsoever, or heard any calls for about a real life hour, and I 'm more and more convinced that even EW does not fully control spawning.Sometimes I find myself on what I like to call "a doomed map". The game is less and less motivating for me to play from a hunting point of view.

I do enjoy the scenery though and the audio ambience is very relaxing, which is why I still play from time to time.

i think how you hunt is personal preference.some people go prone and crawl and hunt slow.some like me run most of the time.there is no wrong or right way.only what suits you.

loggers point for eg the middle area of the meadows near towers is always good for big whitetail mule deer and most species.if you ever stuck for animals or locations.go to the leaderboards for this season check where the big animals are shot.look for similar locations of big animals.sometimes they are in almost identical locations or close enough to find a good hotspot.
