Rock throwing, the thumb is the key!!

[El Che]

Hi guys , just want to tip you on the rabbit hunt with stones, I found out that the tumb is your sight, just place your tumb under the rabbit, with a decent distance you will get them most of the time!!, have a nice hunt !!

Keep me posted on how you improved your aim with the thumb technique!!

God I miss the bunny snares lol

a hint too they will scare off the position where the rock lands so if it is to far throw a rock behind the bunny so it runs to you and hit it easy with another rock did that at the start and to catch them in traps faster :)

I actually had no idea this was a thing before story mode. I used to use rocks as trail lines to navigate in the dark.. i mean i tried throwing them at things.. but those things killed me. So i just never bothered and learned to survive through other means.

you spelled tumb in your description (not titel ;) :P and I have to be honest I suck at throwing rocks XD best one 1 hit 1 rabbit, most despred one 20 rocks 2 bunnis so don't worry its training. ^^

I kinda line it up using thumb, finger and ring - seems to work ok.

[binakalgo]

Still needs practice.

Also, I feel that the rabbits now react differently and have better reflex.

Something needed or otherwise the snare becomes useless.

[Mysti_Fogg]

Thanks. Maybe I'll actually be able to hit something.

I've been using the fingers as a sort of crude cross hairs for a little while. Seems to be better to position yourself so the rabbit is coming towards you, not while traveling sideways. I also find that it matters if there is anything (and I mean anything) on the ground between you and the rabbit. If there is a small curve of snowy terrain, tiny stick or other minor thing in the way, it will register it as a 'strike' instead and not nail the bunny, even if the stone actually bounces off the critter's body afterwards (ugh!)! Crouching is good, and I have the best luck when I'm on flat ice...I think of that as 'curling for bunny meat'. I mean, it IS Canada, after all.

My only 'happy moment' with stone hunting is when I was hunting at night, with my breath obscuring my sight every few seconds and me essentially aiming at little shadows. I lobbed five or so stones at this one furry little sucker that kept leaping up a steep wall to dodge them, and I was like "Oh, to hell with this one" and chucked my last stone in his general direction...and managed to somehow nail it while it was running away. Oh, *squeakSNAP* never sounded so good...
