Plus, easy means it's easy for everybody and still a competition that's hard to win. I've been hunting RFF this morning for elk and not finding a lot of elk and they're small when I do. That's not very exciting either. At least with bison i'd be finding animals. I'll decide before the day is out.
You don't have to sneak up on bison...You can run right up to them. Pretty much the only thing that spooks them is firing a weapon. Be careful, though...As you get within about 50 meters, one of them will turn towards you and attack.

Yeah, I remember them from COTW. They were mental in that game. If I didn't drop them when I shot them they would come kill me as I was trying to get the muzzleloader reloaded. They would wait in the bushes and attack like the grizz does on TGF map too. Grumpy aren't they?

I don't need to get too close to them with the .340. It's not like the caplock. I'll be shooting the .340 long before I get to 50m.

70m isn't very close. I'm sure the 3D Arctic can do that easy enough. I wear B&C or Army camo for elk in TGF and RFF and can get within 20m with them looking right at me. I don't shoot cows but they come up to me as i'm sneaking into a bull. They'll be 5m away and never see me. They finally sniff the air and then bolt. It's impossible to stop that. It's programmed in the code.

Think of how close you could get if you take showers more often...:)

I'd rather not get close if I have to do that. :P

I think the one on the left is a garter belt. Oh ok, it's the phosphorescent "iron" sights of a handgun or rifle

Yes, the fiber optic sight is obvious but what does it have to do with the camo outfits?

I bought the Ghillie and hunted the comp. I didn't hunt for long. I shot one bull that looked big but was only a 61. I saw a small herd of cows. That was about it.
What a gloomy map. I'm in a heated room and I swear I started to get cold. :lol:

I think since i'm back to the OldMtnMan i'll go back to my plan to just hunt with the caplock for all my hunting. I got so sidetracked with all the other guns so easily bought. I asked Nick if he could delete all the guns i've bought and then i'll buy just the caplock and stick with it this time.

I have all the Mountain Man movies. I need to watch a couple of them and get my head back into it. If it was summer I could go to a rendezvous and then i'd be back in the right frame of mind.

Anybody want a Arctic Ghillie bundle? Like new except for a little bison blood. :mrgreen:
