[Hunting goose and duck]

[Slit]

So when I'm hunting birds with my 12gauge I usually wait for them to fly away, then proceed to shoot to make sure I can bag the prey but sometimes, they still end up in water and I cannot pick them neither can Karl (my dog) and I just end up getting fined and making almost no money despite a good hunt.

Any fix or solution for this ? If not, can the dev maybe make something for the dog to go pick em up ?

Did you get a Lab to retrieve the ducks for you?

The lab retrieves the ducks

Labrador. The game has three breeds of dogs with different skills, have you read their description?

[Slit]

Nope, just thought they were like cosmetics lmao. Thought it was to please people who liked different breeds / colors

At the moment, I can't afford a Labrador. So I sit near the lake and wait for a squadron of ducks to cruise over my head. As soon as they cross the lakeshore, I open fire so they fall onto dry land where I can reach them.
A few things that annoy me greatly:
Is there any other way for duck licences to be bought except in batches of ten?
Maybe this game should give the player a smartphone, just like in CotW - we could use it to quickly place an order for another duck licence without having to trudge back to the cabin.
The other thing is the "ethical hunt penalty". I can't just hose down a flock of ducks and sort out the downed ones on the ground - I need to be super-careful to only hit each duck exactly once.
Screw this up, and you get fined 250 bucks. Honestly. I like this system (no females, wrong caliber, no licence, etc.), but those ducks have cost me a lot of money.

I don't quite understand that. So it's more ethical to leave the duck wounded? I mean crippled birds are quite common irl hunting, but finishing them quickly is always the goal. I get picking your shots and all, but the fines do seem excessive given the style of hunting. Also not sure about the females thing. Here in NC (USA) at least, waterfowl hunting typically doesn't have very stringent limitations on hens. Only one I can think of at the moment is you aren't allowed as many mallard hens as drakes, always subject to change of course. I haven't played the game yet so obviously I don't know all the details.

yeah the fines from the ducks/geese being on the edge of the water/beach wiped me out. not being able to get closer than a meter to the water really does suck and from that experience I'm currently debating with myself about asking for a refund. So far unhappy with this piece of software.

You just need to buy a labrador, the dog will go pick it up for you as it can swim.
