    Great video Mel...this is what new players should watch. Another method I personally use to find low genetic animals is to use the caller set to low potential, anything that moves my way responding to the call I "believe" is sub 50% genetics...

    Great video, do you know exactly how the aging mechanic works? I believe there's a combination of real time and lasped time contributed. Also, do the genetics of an animal dying of old age affect new animals or only while it's still alive, i.e. its replacement? 🤔

    You and I pick the same way. I found one group of deer and it had a 1* young and some nice looking more mature. But that 1* had obviously unbalanced horns and picked that as my target. When I analyzed the shot he was barely past 50% for genetics!

    Hi, how do you manage small herds? like bears that usually have only a male and a female? thanks!

    Thank you for the video. what is your experience with animals aging, please? You do a hunt and see a promising 3-Star how long might it take to rise to a 4-Star. Is it based on fresh hunts? If I take a break may an animal die in between?

    • @melsgaming01
      @melsgaming01  ปีที่แล้ว

      My pleasure!
      Ok so the actual time it takes a cycle to pass and for animals to age is slightly debated and I haven’t got a conclusive answer on the exact time it takes, but it’s based on how long you play for. The best way to know when an age cycle has happened is to have a good idea of what animals are in an area (for example, a group of mule deer with various star ratings) and every time you reset the time or start a new hunt, check on those animals and see if anything has either increased in star rating, died of old age or gone from one age stage to the next. I find this is the best way to be sure of when a cycle has passed, as I’ve experienced cycles feeling irregular in terms of actual irl time occasionally.
      In terms of animals ageing and dying- this can only happen when you’re playing on that specific map, so not playing the game won’t cause anything to die, and playing on a different map won’t pass time for another map, so you only need to worry about keeping an eye on your target animals when you’re playing actively on the map they’re on!
      If I find a promising animal I make sure to check it with every time reset, game restart (so if you shut the game and reopened it) or new hunt, just to be sure. I may be a little on the extra cautious side!
      I hope this helps- any other questions or if I need to clarify anything more please let me know!! Good luck with your hunts! 😊

    great video Mel like always 🖤. I had a hard of whitetail with a 3 star adult 2 2 star adults and a 3 star mature and I decided to shot the 3 star and both of the 2 stars and the 2 stars were like 70% genetics so both of those 2 stars had no chance to be a 5 stars

    When is it a good time to take a 5 star animal? How do we know it has already passed on it's genetics?

    • @melsgaming01
      @melsgaming01  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I shoot every 5* on sight. They don’t actually “pass on their genetics” per say, genetics are apparently influenced by the average overall percentage in an area, so having higher genetic animals should mean it helps keep the average higher, and then taking out poor animals should help that as they could hopefully spawn with better genes as influenced by the good quality animals left in the area. So you could say that a 5* has “passed on his genetics” by simply being factored into the overall genetic percentages for the area, I hope that makes sense!
      But once an animal reaches 5* mature I highly recommend taking it out ASAP, unless you don’t mind risking losing it!

    So maybe I'm missing something, but on the age chart how long is a year? Stupid question ❓ call me stupid,but I'm not seeing where it says that. How long is a year in game?

  • @carenophillips118
    @carenophillips118 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like I said I don't mean to be asking a dumb question. But you say you'll let the animals go a few cycles..how long is a cycle. I've checked everything I can think of on the encyclopedia and I'm not seeing that information.

    • @melsgaming01
      @melsgaming01  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The exact info on how long a cycle is has not been given out and I haven’t managed to work it out exactly yet as it’s changed recently. The best way is to just check regularly for signs of ageing (I’ll often have several animals I’m watching to see when they age- 4 stars for example, if they become a 5 then clearly an age cycle has happened). Once you get to know your herds and animals it becomes very easy to notice! 😊

I just I've lost so many four stars lately it's starting to get discouraging.I have been checking on them regularly too I'm very thankful with what I do have already. But for example in one area I was keeping an eye on two 4 star moose and two four star Caribou and they just stopped showing..sad and frustrated no five star out of four animals..dang.😢

    The gene % is a potential. Higher % does not guarantee a high trophy rating, it gives a better chance at it. But if it breeds it will pass on that higher potential, if it spawns 2 bucks you are likely going to get at 1 really good one and 1 that may end up poorer (it may be 2 good or 2 poor, but chance is low statistically)

    • @melsgaming01
      @melsgaming01  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actually, an animal can and will reach whatever it’s percentage is, if left alive long enough. A high percentage does in fact = a bigger trophy IF that animal is allowed to reach its max potential.

    I haven't seen a 5 star Badger, Fox or Wolf and I play a lot. Some 4 stars but I don't find them again...weird algorithms or something.
    I was just messing around the other day shooting geese with the 308 and one I claimed was a 5 star. Hit the tax button lol.
