I think you just might be right...

Actually, the first was Thoke2014 (Re: Tip here your bet about the new animal!)
And the first person to suggest them was cuzzican (Re: Bushrangers Run Suggestions)
oh, I must've missed it.

To be fair Ravenous, I was bringing it up saying that I didn't think they would add them on Picabeen Bay because it doesn't really match their environment. From what I read they reside primarily in open wetlands so I figured they wouldn't go on as wooded of a map as PB.

Hey Gas!

No it doesn't fully replace it, you will now have two ammo types to pick from. More tools in your box so to speak :)
Thanks for the answer..... Does that mean I'll have to take 2 different bullets for Rabbit & Fox? because somehow for some reason I don't think the allow list will make much sense
if it is changed. In all truth the .17 HMR was supposed to be what you guys are making it capable of doing with the new bullet.
But you would think I would be used to the way it is handled in the game by now............... :)

BTW..... will this now probably open up for other rifles with other bullets and allowable lists on each type? The .270 with heavier grain bullets for Elk maybe?.....
You guys have opened up a whole new Wasps nest... be prepared to get out the bug spray.......... :lol:

Releasing a new species that has monetization potential, and not taking advantage of it, would be very unusual. Besides the callers are new, and they created new decoys. Why go to that effort if the existing decoys and callers worked? They wouldn't.

If is a new waterfowl species then we will have to buy new decoys and callers, that much is clear from our past experience, but i hope the RB ground blind can be used at least, and i hope a new shotgun to spice up the things, yes i like shotguns, oh man i hope they at least release a convenient bundle with the geese for the sake of the pockets from the people that will want to get the setup...like me probably.
