Post by supercelldrw »

Anyone else using arrows and the animals standing still after being hit?

No fleeing, not dying, just keep walking, if you shoot one arrow it shows two arrows in the animal

I have had this happen several times, and many of the instances have been in the last few weeks specifically. The animal does not respond at all to being hit, and continues to walk or stand as if nothing happened. I have had instances where the shot did count on the harvest screen, and instances where it did not, even if I could see the first arrow clearly stuck in the animal. It happens infrequently enough that it hasn't been a problem for me.

This actually yappened to me yesterday, but that was the first time. I was in a huge herd of Rocky Elks, i shot one, the rest stood. Shot one more, the rest stood. When i got to the third one, they stood for about 3 seconds more and then they ran off.

I've had this happen with both bows and crossbows for at least a month.

Yesterday, in Logger's Point in MP game, a hunter shot a whitetail doe, it was a body hit. It ran off, and within 50-100 meters began calling again. Strange.

Been hitting a lot lately that the hit is a instant kill.. but they walk for a few steps before they drop... as if the system took 4 or 5 seconds to register the hit .. have also have bobcat, moose , and some others get hit.. run for 50-10 meters.. and go back to idle.. calling and being able to be called back in .. ( not complaining ) is kinda nice to have a foul shot animal walk back to me and hang out till it bleeds out under my tower or stand .. less tracking for me lol ...

This also happened to me yesterday, i did shoot a Rocky mountain elk and was a nice lung shoot, but the creep stood still like 1 minute before realize that there was an arrow piercing him and run like hell for some metters before drop dead, i think something went messed with the arrows hit detection, not with the weapons since it happens with bows, crossbows and different animals, btw it was with the Parker Python in my case.
