The Hunter - Page 16

Lionclaw · 07-24-14, 07:22 AM

Just completed a hunt, it was perhaps too long of a break.

Seems the .300 makes mincemeat of coyotes, 0 trophy integrity.

Got some em$ left. Was wondering before the break to either spend it on a bear bait kit or boar bait kit.

Skybird · 07-24-14, 10:30 AM

For two rifle solutions: the 8x57, and the .223. Covers the whole spectrum.

For three rifle solutions: the 9.3, the 6.5x55, and the .223.

Trophy integrity always should be 95-100%, if you use the right - tool...

The new revolver can easily replace the 9.3, if there is weight concerns, just that it does not have the 9.3's range. But at distances you cover without using a scope, it is a steelhammer.

I still must smile when I think of putting a scope on a revolver. I never do that.

Only weapon I can can afford with the em$ I got is a "12 GA Single Shot Shotgun", which is pointless since I have a "12 GA pump action" one.

I have:

Rifle
.243
.300

Shotgun
12 GA Pump Action

Revolver
.357
.44

Bow
Snakebite

The .243 and .300 in combination with the revolvers give you a range of callibres covering all species. The main reason I do never mention weapons like the .243 or .300 or 30-06 is that they are older models and are in the game since long, partly form all beginning on, so they are old work: and their looks and sounds show that. They are not worse than the one I mentioned regarding their effectiveness, but the ones I mentioned and use simply - imo - look better and have the better sounds. They are younger addons for the game.

The bow is thought by many to be the bow with the biggest penetration power, but also it is the loudest bow of them all. I prefer as a bow weapon the Python, which is maybe the wekaest, but also the most silent of them all. I use it only for turkey, foxes, coyotes, geese, and pesky female roe deer. I hate long aftersearches. There ar people who by routine use the Python even for bears and moose, however.

The shotty is the best of them all, period. Maybe with exception of the new automatic, I don't know it, but it looks awfully hilarious.

Your equipment is somewhat minimalistic, but nevertheless: complete.

I think bear an d hog baiting is overestimated. I have one kit of both, but hardly ever use it. Plus it causes running costs, and playtime obligations if you do not want to waste the effects. If money is an issue for you, i woudl not get into these things. save the credit instead - your scent suppressing spray will sooner or later run out...

The store was a bit slow, somehow I have 2 .223 rifles now. Charged for both of them as well. 900 em$ gone instead of 450...

With this baby I make it peace in the forest.

Is today your lucky day?

In WWII, on battleships they used to build huge rotating towers around these things.

As you can easily see - no problem not standing nowhere no more.

Multiply your fun! Turn every single aftersearch into a multitude of aftersearches - when you try to track down every single piece of what is left of it!

You better never become too pesky again my deer...

Man, do I look cool. First I freeze them with my ultra-cool sun-glasses. Next I take off the glasses and set up my hottest smile - that makes them cook up and explode!

more I use the 30-30 on deer more I love it and the 454 sounds cool when you fire it

Skybird · 07-25-14, 09:48 AM

My .454 is the better half of myself!

Skybird · 07-25-14, 10:18 AM

What hunters do when they are not shooting something?

They hunt other cars!

Before the MP update, there was Breakout, too.

Almost same callibre like the Blazer R8 that I like so much, and I think both rifles are ethicla for the same species. I think inside the game the difference is just the looks then, but effect and range should be the same. The Blazer reloads extremely fast, I assume the 30-30 is not slow either?

The only difference is that scopes both rifles use, the Blazer has 3x/6x/9x, the 30-30 has 4x/8x.

Skybird · 07-26-14, 11:52 AM

It seems a guest I hosted in MP two days ago, had it right: the new reserve coming most probably will be the French Alps.

I hoped for a more dramatic difference to the reserves we already have, I admit. But maybe I imagine it all wrong.

Skybird,
I read in a recent Status Update about the new ballistic changes.
They mentioned that calibers that are ethical for a species have more penetration chance, so a double-lung shot for example.

Did you notice a difference?

I don't have a license at the moment, yet I am very curious about this, cause the ballistics were quite borked a while agod ("body shot" or "intestines" while the shot was perfectly on the chamber, etc...)
