They have had red nosed reindeer (which only roam Hemmeldal) in the game for the past two years. The question was whether they are out there again. We should learn if that is the case soon enough when a holiday mission or competition brings everyone to Hemmeldal. :)

Weapon should not matter. Just checked the code and all the ptarmigans are there and should give you jollyPoints. Only airborne, of course, I've now added this requirement to the tier list. We will need to look into why they are not counting for you on Monday, are you sure it's not just a delay in registering points?

Not yet, but we are expecting his arrival some time during this event.

Sure, a friend could shoot it for me, but it doesn't count for a competition.

I couldn't find those wretched little birds to save my life last night lol, guess I'm heading back out again today. Figures I finally join a competition and the first thing is one of those impossible (for me, I'm visually impaired and slow lol) lil birds! Can anyone recommend a good hot spot for the little buggers? Any tips? :P

I had a hard time before I finally got one too. One problem for me is that once I'm hearing those quiet chirping noises that indicate ptarms are within render range, I can't seem to locate them. Calls and footsteps usually work very well with my 7.1 headset, but those ptarmigan sounds seem to be "ambient" and coming from everywhere. Only when I get closer (like closer than 100 meters) and those funny, louder ptarmigan noises can be heard, I can locate them via audio.

I think they can be everywhere in the mountains, I found my flock on the northwestern reserve border where there's a large area with rocks and not too many trees that block sight. As soon as you find tracks or hear their noises, stay in the area and look for them or listen if you hear the wings flapping. They rarely call, but sometimes they do and give away their position.

Thanks Tanngnjostr! Can always count on my fellow goat lover of course :)

I'll find one of those suckers and blast it from the sky even if it takes all 90 of my birdshot shells LOL
