I started this game after playing the hunter call of the wild for a while now. It was a learning curve for me cause cotw was easier to hunt, tree stands, electronic caller and better more powerful guns where you can just change your ammo but not the gun. This game through for a loop but i love The way of the hunter so much now cause each hunt pays off as a learning moment and so many things you can do or even watch these animals if you dont want to shoot. Thank you for the videos!
I keep coming back to this game. I used to try to herd manage the whole map, 5 or 6 species at once, but that was way too tedious, time passed too slowly. I'm going to manage 1, maybe 2 species in their primary hab at a time, and let the years pass more quickly. Get my 5 stars, then move on to the next species. Great explanation of the mechanics in your vid!
I played Call of the wild for a year.... Now I staryed this one and as a Hunter in real life I should say that Way of the Hunter is the real deal. Not easy tough but very good
Waiting for this to go on sale. Looks great. One thing from seeing these videos I like over CotW is the scope sway seems more realistic meaning it is better controlled. I hate how bad the scope sways in CotW even with the perks. It's as if he devs have never fired a rifle.
on sale on steam right now i just brought it for 20 comes with 1 map and some guns if you can get it id say get it its pretty fun so far and very beautiful
Is it only the matures that procreate? Otherwise you can use the low genetics calls to lure in low genetics males of various ages, is it better to get rid of the oldest low gens first and then worry about adult and young low gens? I've never been able to fully understand how the replacement of aged out animals works. And do they only procreate after they expire or do they procreate every year?
Does anyone know, do rare fur colors also carry down in the gene pool? If you leave Mela or an Albino, will it potentially spawn later? I can't find an answer to that.. :/
@YOTE1COYOTE same I only shot rare does but I did find a herd that had a melinistic doe and I watched them for like 5 in game days and they had no hucks in the herd 8 does only
Im also wandering, if i spend time in a different map, will my herds on other maps age along side or are they paused unless im on teir map? Sorry for all the questions, loved your video was really helpful
Where do you get the information about the geen pool of all deer in the grasslands? I cannot find any info about that, i thought each herd has different pool.
So one thing that wasn't mentioned.. If herd size constant? Like if I take one in the grasslands, does another appear somewhere else in the grasslands? Or in that specific herd? Immediately or after a year?
@@YOTE1COYOTE that’s is so much better, I don’t have the time or patience to put down thousands of deer. I just got into COTW but I’ll definitely download WOTH now
Antler size and shape, use the calls, look at the shoulder and neck size. Just have to realize the ones left will pass on their looks so if there are deer with big antlers or look real big it’s probably better to leave them. Older deer usually have thicker necks.
Look at their racks and their coats. The younger bucks of both mule and whitetail are usually lighter brown while more mature bucks are darker gray color and adults are in between as like a dark brown. Just judge based on that and wonky/unsymmetrical racks.
Why only take out one buck at a time from each herd as your culling. I follow each herd around until I take out every buck in the herd that needs to be culled. Save you some trips and you'll learn a lot about your herds. Easy to do since they always come back. One hour of game play is 4 hours of in game play (day time). 15 min=1 hour. At night one hour game play is 6 hours of in game play. 10 min.= 1 hour. It's the time you spend on the ground in game that matters the most and not the sleeping time. In the coming update the devs are fixing it where sleeping will do nothing to change your animal's age. Sleeping will just give you a second chance at the animal. Playing the game for 5 hours is 1 in game day, I have discovered. You can age a buck to It's very last day if you're patient.
You do realize this is just a game right.....secondly you cant manage video games....thirdly you sound like one of those tv hunting guys got to have big racks YOU CANT EAT THE HORNS....but do like the game play ill probably buy this one after not playing games for about 10 years
@@bigdad0702 true you can’t manage video games but in this game you have to manage your herds to get out the bad genetics to get bigger animals to spawn. And I shot a forky this year on my hunt on the last day I wanted meat for sure so I wasn’t gonna not shoot a small guy but don’t get me wrong if there was a 4x4 standing next to him I’d take the 4x4 and have a good rack and the meat

Yessir!
I like this game more than cotw bc of how much more in depth it is.
I really appreciate these long-form tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to educate newbies like me.
This is the best herd video I've seen 💥💥

Well it's funny how you don't understand destiny that way if the hunter is a simulator cotw is a arcade game that wants to be a simulator
Very helpful man. Liked and subbed
Left my 2 star stunning Mature Black mule buck to age a bit, he was all black no gray at all! Took photos of him. He died of old age 😭
He fathered some great sons doe

I can't find an answer to that.. :/
@@Bumbart no they don’t carry
Have you ever done a heard management video on Elk yet ? does it work the same way as it does with white tails and mule deer
Yessir it is the same
bruh i wish my laptop could handle this game at its full graphics settings, im playing it on low and my laptop is still stuttering
Now what about the male to female ratio? At any point do you kill the mature doe’s?
I do not touch my females
Why not? @@YOTE1COYOTE

each map is it's own timeline and don't affect each other

How do you get so close with photo mode ? Mine stopped me after a certain distance.
@@baileytaylor1160 the lower the difficulty the further the photo mode goes

@ usually hiker
So one thing that wasn't mentioned..

When you are managing grass lands, how long do you sleep for at each camp, like what time of day the next morning do you wake up?
I manage during their drinking time. 11 am to 1 pm
You can choose when you wanna wake up
Is there anyway to stop the photo modes restriction cause i cant get to the deers
@@omgespro9287 the lower your difficulty the further your photo mode will go. Or you just have to get closer
What is the map thing called
@@samhrdlicka1387 the map thing?

You should really explain what a 4 by 4 or a 5 by 5 is ... no idea what you are talking about ... thanks for the video!

@@levimulkey279 pause the game and click photo mode
How long does it take them to age?
@@SuperTcoop I believe 3 sleeps is a year but you have to wait 15 minutes per sleep for it to count

So unlike COTW where you have to grind and get thousands of kills to get diamonds or great ones. In WOTH you actually do heard management

do i rest 3 times right after each other or space between?

@@YOTE1COYOTE okey, anyways this video was super helpful and it helped me seeing way more 3-5 stars in herds!
Hey man random question. hopw did you zero that shot to 109 when all I can do is zero manually in increments of 50 each time up or down?
@@ttvRagingBrit swap your distance measurements in to yards instead of meters
@@ttvRagingBrit swap it to the imperial system
@@YOTE1COYOTE Ah, still only goes up/down in increments, thought because it was 109 you were zeroing precisely lol. Ty anyway
How many story missions are there? And I have heard folks shot the ghost in free hunt is this true?
I’m not totally sure I haven’t been played the story in over a year
wouldn’t you just photo mode everything
Idk what you mean
now how do you tell these things when you play on the hardest difficulty. i hate the hunter sense tbh
Just look at them from your scope you don’t need photo mode
Antler size and shape, use the calls, look at the shoulder and neck size.
Just have to realize the ones left will pass on their looks so if there are deer with big antlers or look real big it’s probably better to leave them. Older deer usually have thicker necks.
