I love the part in the bison hunt where the entire pack is just circling him, tails between their legs and too scared to attack.... I think that highlights how difficult bison hunts are LOL
Hidden newborn elk are often quite far away from the mother, but pronghorn and mule deer newborns are hidden quite close to the mother! Saves a bit of time if you know where to look :)
More helpful advice I'd share from hunts is that when you're taking more damage than you're dealing (obviously, unless you have an injury that's causing that OR if you're hunting something like a bull moose/cow moose/bison), always release your bite and try again. When you do get a good hold where you're dealing more damage to your prey, try to release your hold BEFORE the prey shakes you off (this also goes for when you're fighting wolves, bears, etc.) so that you don't get dealt that extra damage from kicks. With elk, the ones that hang towards the back and have their heads pulled further back are usually the ones that are lower in HP; looking at them from the side really shows you the difference between them and how a regular elk holds their neck/head while running. You also deal the most damage when you have the most stamina, which is when you are about 50% hunger. You can also pack rally and drink water to increase that.
the way hares SAVED ME during the starvation time on my first litter. i got 2 broke legs and a major broken jaw and couldnt hunt any food for health. the den attacks and hex attacks made it sooo hard. but i somehow kept all 6 of the litter alive, this was on challenging btw
Oh yeah, having a rendezvous site near a creek in an open field helped a LOT. If I remember correctly, it was in one of the most southern east Amethyst Mountains sites.
tip for hunting pronghorn: try to run at them from the front, sometimes a few will have to turn around to flee with the herd and it gives you a good chance to get a bite on them but be careful to not get trampled by the herd
To make things easier in hunts and fights, I have 'woof' saved to my favorites so I don't have to open the emote menu so often for my poor pups who get spooked out or want to fight to death in a hunt. Great tips, thanks!!
You wont catch me hunting a bison with any amount of wolves for this sole reason. I view them as the “apex prey animal” meaning i avoid and give them a generous amount of space. Id rather take on a bull moose with 12 wolves
@kokobopjammer2571 lol 😆 yes I don't trust the NPC 'survival' 🤣 instinct at all and I believe it was on challenging or accurate I had a speed wolf (+2 speed and stamina negative everything else) yeeted in one hit from full health. I was just running by and passed too close to a cranky bull and had the misfortuneof being stuck on terrain. Soooo yah. Hesitant to do bison with the pack. Bull elk I do at least one every run and the occasional adult moose. Bison... not with my current pack. Several have a negative modifier to health. And I'm on accurate. Maybe I'll tempt fate if I find an exceptionally low health one. But definitely not a full health one.
@Eira-m4o yes I can also vouch for that. However it can take some time and I'd need to send back any pack with me.... in growing pups pretty sure I'd run the risk of pups starving before the bison was down! Another reason I'd gun for low health if I did. More that I would like to be able to hunt them "normally" with my pack but can't justify the risk to npc wolves at the moment However you are correct getting them to kick the snot out of eachother is a viable option last I checked
Also i had a wolf named Robin for my first accurate game ever in the saga and just in genaral, got him a mate named spring and they had 7 kids. then I died as robin
I've heard that challenging is a lot harder than it should be. The sheer difficulty jump between challenging and easy is wild from what I heard. I'm still just working on my first saga run on Easy mode to learn the ropes.. I'm terrified of challenging after all my friend says they've been through on that difficulty.
@@namelessnavnls8060 yeah, the diffaculty change between all three are very big jumps but once you get used to challenging its easier. accurate doesn't really get easier quick and Im on year three and still scraping by. I'm also on iron wolf for this, and so was my first save on challenging, so I was kinda forced to learn quick lol. my challenging wolf is named frog and shes 6! i haven't died once on that save, so I def think anyone whos played a few years in game can learn
@@namelessnavnls8060 i personally NEVER choose challenging, its a lot more hard than accurate for me, don't believe me? heres an example or.. a few. HUNTING BEAVERS: on accurate and easy, you can do 100 damage with full health without doing much but stalking. (holding ctrl or ctrl+shift) accurate you can do at least 70 damage each time. 70 damage is NOT the maximum on accurate at all, if your low on health you're more likely to do 70, A LOT more likely. but if you're well and healthy? easily 100 damage. on challenging you can do just a measly 40 if low, and i only ever do a maximum of 80. ELK HUNTING: all the time when on challenging i always see the elk doing way more damage. an i usually only ever do 20-25 while in accurate you CAN get to 40 damage if you're lucky, (maybe you can get to 40 on accurate too. but like i said, i don't have much experience with challenging so i do not know) hunting calves in the fall and finding mates as well is just such a big challenge. while i can easily hunt an elk calf on accurate relatively unscathed. HERDING: i dont herd on challenging im not an idiot
Hunting down calves, when you already have a bigger pack, I recommend biting the calf so the mother attacks; then you bite the mother, and what happens is that the rest of your pack usually keeps attacking the calf and you can distract the mother. You don't even need to bite her that much, your pack takes down the calf and then if you want you can take down the mother too. Double prize!
When i got to the nomadic quest for the first time, most of the elk herds were in other's pack territory... so I started herding them with my pack so they fled my into my territory, so i don't have strange wolves on my neck xd. I made the herd run around my territory for a minute or two, and when i attacked one of the calves it was almost dead from exaustion... a couple of bite and boom, the mother didn't touch us, a kill without getting damage 😂😅.
I do that with mule deer all the time, and as long as you bite all two / three at least once, you can usually take them down. You get a ton of experience from it, a surprising amount for deer, and all three carcasses or enough to feed my pack of 13.
Ohh, I have a game where I took over Geode Pack, and so the theme became crystals(+minerals+rocks). I use a website that lets you filter by color, and then I scroll until I find something that is either the same color/pattern as the wolf or just sounds cool and is vaguely similar to the wolf. I go on cover picture alone because googling images of e.g. Lamphropyllite gives you the cover picture but also like a billion completely different-looking pictures because crystal appearance and color can vary a lot. My wolf is named Heartstealer for obvious reasons, and her mate is called Lamprhropyllite (Lamp for short). Their first litter (the litter already in the pack before I definitely DID NOT take down their mother what are you talking about) of three were named Kaolinite, Nepheline and Owyhee Jasper. Other members of the pack are Amphibole, Alamosite, Anorthosite and Petoskey. The next litter, Hearstealer's first biological litter were named One to Six at first before their proper oats showed up and then became, in order, Bikitaite (got sick and passed away), Hyalite (got curb-stomped by a bull elk), Astrophyllite (named after Lamp, they look nearly identical), Wairakite, Bismoclite (or Bismoclte as WQ had an issue with the 'uncensored' version) and Dravite.
with pronghorn i noticed they dont run very far and take about 3 strides to hit full speed. If you wait, get right on the edge of their flight zone and just rush em. Grab whatever one you can sink your teeth into
Tips I have for other players: 1- There is actually a way to do best at beaver hunting, more strategic, yes, but it's useful, instead of charging straight in, you can do ctrl + b outside of the area they'll notice you, and wait, once one comes close enough, any attacks on them will have MUCH higher damage, best to wait till they're really far from the water, and it works magic for killin em! :D (Speaking as someone who played about 1/2 of the Me myself and I acheivement on Accurate but later swappped to easy mode.) 2- Don't hunt any of the particularly difficult-to-kill prey (Moose bull/cow bull/ bison) unless you are on full hp, and most of your pups are almost full/full hp as well, it makes you a lot less likely to die 3- When alone, with no prospective, mate, or pups, it is best to just use hares, or beavers, as your main source of food, as elk, moose, and mule deer will take a wolf with -1hp down to near death VERY quickly when it's alone, and pronghorns are nearly impossible to catch when you're using the same method as you do for basically anything else. 4- Personally, my pref way to hunt Proggies is running at them after sneaking up to them, i dont lock on anyone, and i take the first bite opportunity i find, usually you dont get ran over, because they turn first. (i run at them where their heads are facing)
Im currently doing the medium setting, I doubt it is set to accurate but I have my 2nd generation of pups that will soon be learning hunters after the timer is up and have been *forced to have 3 accompanying adult wolves when hunting, making it super easy to hunt elk moms -> getting a running fawn to 10-25% health and then targeting the moment so my pack can finish off the kid or to keep it alive so that the 2 corpses are right next to each other. Ofc this is in Summer/Fall when fawns are still different model but old enough to feed a wolf or 2, its currently the easiest way to feed my pack since all my elk herds are in the weird spots of my territory, edge of or literally not in my territory at all lol. Watching this definitely helps when I'm trying to work my way up to accurate large pack. Probably should set it to accurate now but my pack likes to starve itself > my mate and 1 of my first daughter wolves don't like eating for some reason. I have 1 wolf, Polly, I will whine at her specifically everytime I want to hunt/feed the pack in general but she won't eat unless double-howled away from the den. Even when there is extra regurgitation, she is the last to eat and has nearly started herself a handful of times 😂 For her sake specifically, I'm scared to go back to accurate. Maybe when I get my fresh litter. I'll have to switch before I see how many I have bc I just know if I have more than 4 I'll probably wimp out :,))))❤
hello!! its very easy to turn the prey around with minimal herding effort. just bite (without doing any damage, just to hinder it,) and growl. i check the map often while playing so that helps too with detecting how far and close you are to pack territory.
z1lli0npawz has some great advice! I would definitely recommend checking the map more often than I showed in the video so you can plan and change the trajectory of the moose ahead of time. I had found this moose in the middle of my territory so I wasn't very worried about stranger wolves interfering, and it does help to find a moose that is located far from stranger wolf territory if at all possible.
Tips for quests from raise pups to young hunters(tho you probably already know this) is once fawns and calves spawn kill every single fawn you see if you don’t already have one, especially moose calves, they’re also easier to hunt alone, moose calves provide a bit less food than mule deer fawns in winter but can still fill a pack up, even elk mule deer and pronghorn fawns can fill up the pups with some scraps left for the rest of the pack, second is in growing pups unless it’s your first year or you have a small pack don’t go for the running fawns, it’s too little meat for too much effort, chasing a cow elk until it trips is way better, and lastly during young hunters never go for mule deer or elk calves unless you or your pack is starving mule deer take too long for too little food and elk calves take too much effort and too much risk of injure from the mother for also too little food
It should be noted that if you stand beside a newborn too long or dont notice you are standing beside one, the mother will rush over FAST and hits hard when she gets to you. I had a mule deer doe run over and break my leg in one hit for being too close to her baby. We ended up taking her down and getting the baby but now you gotta deal with a major or minor injury. Also as a note: I tried killing a Bull Bison in easy mode with 12 pack members. Just dont do it.... Bison are no joke.
I do find that the shoulder bites deal less damage to me! I'm not 100% sure though and would love to hear other experiences. I think each bite is going to be slightly different though so I don't know if every single shoulder area bite will always be the best option. If I have a clear opportunity, a neck bite also does a good job at inflicting damage onto the elk/prey without too much damage happening to me! But that opportunity typically happens more towards the end of the hunt when the elk is weak, so when you are chasing early on, I do think that a shoulder bite is a good option :)
@@wolfinthesage personally shoulder bites are less likely of getting attacked via antlers (if hunting buck) or getting kicked, but neck bites are always recommended during showdown, as they leave the elk defenseless, if on accurate you can do a total of 40 damage via neck or shoulder. but back legs aren't a bad option either. especially if your prey is running.
Hey new player here, can someone help with the scent thing? Whenever I go into scent mode I struggle to follow the floating kinds of scents because I don’t know if I follow where it’s going or if I go to where it’s coming from, im not good with downwind and upwind, can some one help me?^^ I’m good with the footprints but I really can’t understand the orb ones, I suck😭
You want to go where the scent is coming from. Its emitting from the animal and coming towards you. Running sideways to the wind also helps you see more airborne scents in the area. Downwind is when the scent is coming towards you. Say your hunting elk and you can smell their scent in the air moving towards you, that means your downwind (the elk won't be able to smell your presence) Upwind is when the scents are floating away from you. If your hunting elk and your upwind the elk would smell you since your scent is floating towards them. It's always best to hunt downwind. I hope this helps it can be hard to explain lol.
for cow moose and moose calves I find that they aren’t really the best to hunt because of a few reasons: 1. Super dangerous like you said in the video 2. Cow moose are equivalent to bull elk food meter wise, just hunt a bull elk! 3. Moose calf carcasses last shorter than elk calves😢 (had a pack of me, my mate, and 5 growing hunters and it lasted only 2 in game sleep cycles, so this can vary) they can be a fun challenge to hunt and gain exp for your pups but imo they just aren’t worth it for the amount of food they have and the damage you and your pack take from them
Caring for sick pups is pretty straightforward. Feed em when able, spend as much time as possible (a notification will appear when you have done all you can). Sleep as little as reasonably possible, as sleeping rapidly drains their health and therefore the chances they survive.
This is why I like playing multiplayer lol you get some real bold people together and bison hunt is on😂😂 good video though when I get my laptop in order I’m definitely gonna need this
I love the part in the bison hunt where the entire pack is just circling him, tails between their legs and too scared to attack....
I think that highlights how difficult bison hunts are LOL
@@Rolling_Girl_falling_forever yeah, i felt kinda sad for them 😅
I can imagine they're like, "Uh mom, are you sure we're doing th-this?"
@ fr 😂
Don’t attack unless your entire pack is starving

Ah, the mighty Bison. a creature of power and stubbornness
I'd say our wolves are stubborn, since we're the ones urging to mess with these huge creatures that we know can kill us XD
they are stubborn because they are old yet refuse to die
Pronghorns are really easy to sneak up on too compared to deer and elk btw
holy shit, i’ve been playing for almost 5 years and this is impressive af. amazing job with both the hunts themselves and making comprehensive guides.
I have not attempted bison yet for precisely that reason... perhaps if I can find one at 1/4 health.... tough things they are

Here I thought pronghorn were impossible to catch since they are off my screen in seconds! their kicks hurt when I successfully grabbed one.
do shoulder bites on elk do the least damage to your wolf? i though I noticed them doing less then others, but Im not sure yet.

If your hunting elk and your upwind the elk would smell you since your scent is floating towards them. It's always best to hunt downwind. I hope this helps it can be hard to explain lol.
in whichever direction the orb is going
follow them in the other direction
for cow moose and moose calves I find that they aren’t really the best to hunt because of a few reasons: 1. Super dangerous like you said in the video 2. Cow moose are equivalent to bull elk food meter wise, just hunt a bull elk! 3. Moose calf carcasses last shorter than elk calves😢 (had a pack of me, my mate, and 5 growing hunters and it lasted only 2 in game sleep cycles, so this can vary)
they can be a fun challenge to hunt and gain exp for your pups but imo they just aren’t worth it for the amount of food they have and the damage you and your pack take from them
Can you make one for sick pups? :,)
Caring for sick pups is pretty straightforward. Feed em when able, spend as much time as possible (a notification will appear when you have done all you can). Sleep as little as reasonably possible, as sleeping rapidly drains their health and therefore the chances they survive.
this dude jsut casually kills every animal in the game (prey) and expects us to not notice
