They are also very hard to see in the thick vegetation.
Coyotes and foxes are also very difficult to hunt early game because of how skittish they are due to their good sense of smell and sight. You will need to play many hours before you can hope to possibly get anything better than does and low-level bucks. All of the high scoring animals of any type, and all large animals such as bison and moose, are very difficult to hunt early game until you get stronger guns and until you spend Skill and Perk points. Perk and Skill points can also be used to mitigate other very important things affecting difficulty, like how visible you are and the amount of noise you make, and give you other crucial skills. You also start out with a very badly wobbling aim, which can be mitigated by spending Perk points. You start out forced to use bad equipment until you can unlock better. Downloadable Content: More reserves, ATVs to travel faster, more weapons, tents to manually place save points, dogs, etc. Look closely, though, and you'll see the label reads "Spirit".
Bland-Name Product: What looks almost exactly like cans of Sprite appear in one map. Bears Are Bad News: Bears are one of the animals that are very likely to attack the player. Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Albino, piebald, and melanistic animals are in the game, but very rare. This is because it would quickly get very frustrating if you had to worry about them eating or spooking your trophies before you could harvest them. The predators also are not attracted to your kills. You can see animals such as bears and wolves standing right next to deer and other prey, and the prey will not flee.
There is no predation behavior programmed in.This is for smoother gameplay as it would quickly get very annoying having to watch spooking every single animal in a area when you're only targeting one, but it does defeat the purpose of alarm calls. Animals do not react to the alarm calls of other animals, be it from the same species or not.There are no baby or sub-adult animals in the game, as it was decided that the time and effort is better spent elsewhere instead of a feature that serves little purpose other than minor ambiance/realism, and it would be time consuming and costly to add them for all species.All animals except for birds occasionally let out mating calls, implying that all the different species' mating seasons are occurring simultaneously.
THE HUNTER CALL OF THE WILD FREE ATV DLC LICENSE
Artistic License Biology: Much of this ties in with Anti Frustration Features.
One DLC contains bloodhounds that can assist the player with tracking.
They don't just come back immediately anymore.
This is still possible, but it's been tweaked so that the player now usually has to wait longer for them to return. Often, if you accidentally spook an animal into running away, or if you kill one in a herd and the others run away, if you wait a minute or two and use a caller a few times, the animal or herd will return to the same area, especially at a Need Zone. Being that the maps are very gigantic, this is almost necessary. You can select them on the menu and it will highlight the relevant zone on the map. This is useful when you are trying to hunt specific species, such as for a mission. Animals visit certain areas each day within certain time ranges.
