How do I get a GOLD score?

[The Fabulous DiesL]

I need to kill a Red Deer for Albertina, with a GOLD score or higher - I can only manage to get bronze. Any tips?

if you spot them with you'r binox you already see the rating.

I can get Silver at max, how do I get GOLD?

You need a high rank animal and the 3 100%'s. They are rare. Where are you hunting?

I always get the 3 100%, and I'm hunting in Rotwald for the Red Deer. I just went to the top of the map, the boarder, and some deer were glitched, yet only achieved 1 death and 5 silver kills. I gotta get the gold score somehow.

Haha I'm on that one too. You need a level 6-7 Red Deer with a high trophy rating. They usually travel alone and don't respond to scents or calls. It's just random chance to see one.

A level 6-7 means it's very far, high difficulty. How can I reach it? If I get close it'll become trivial or minor which is levels 1-2.

I just got a Cinnamon bear with a difficulty of 7-very hard, but it was only a Silver. I have 2 Whitetail deer that were Gold, a Moose and Elk that were Gold also. The difficulty level on all except the Bear was Easy or very easy. So I don't think it is directly related to difficulty.
The history does not give a lot of detail like the harvest page does, so it makes hard to compare. What I do see is the Score, the Silver Bear had a score of 692, while all the Gold scores were in the 800s.

You need 100% Consecutive harvest bonus, 100% Integrity bonus and an Instakill on a Red Deer with at least 167 Trophy score to get a Gold medal; look for (obviously male) Red deers with a difficulty rating of at least 6/7

For Diamond all the same stuff but with a Trophy score of at least 253, maybe less but I can't confirm it

Ok guys, i have over 40 golds now and over 130 hr play so trust me when i tell you this.
You can get a gold on a 1 or an 8 it makes no difference that is just how acute the senses of that animal are so itl be hard to get close to,if your at distance it doesn't mean a thing.
Its all about the trophy rating. Every animal has a base score so female blacktail for instance with all 3 100% will give 500 score as it has no trophy. So a male will have this base score plus the trophy rating added into the calculation but the rating given depends on species,for a fallow 200 is a good rating for a bear 20 is, so you need to find a high rating relative to species.There is skill in the ambush tree that allows you to do this when spotting the animal. But all in all you need a score 900+ for a gold.
I hope this helped

Animal difficulty does not go up or down with distance. It is set when they spawn and determines how intelligent they are. An animal with a high difficulty will be much less likely to respond to calls and will spook much easier. They will also often travel with the wind at their back so they can smell you more easily.

Although trophy rating is not entirely dependent on difficulty, a higher difficulty does usually correlate to a higher rating. What I have noticed is that certain animals can only spawn with difficulty within a certain range. For example, fallow deer always spawn with a difficulty ranging from 1-5. Difficulty 5 fallows are so rare that I haven't even seen one, but I often get golds on difficulty 4. I can't expect to get anything higher than a silver rating on difficulty 3 or lower.

By contrast, I randomly stumbled upon a difficulty 8 (mythical) red deer while calling for fallows. I shot him with my .243 and got a perfect score, but it was still only a gold. My hypothesis is that, in order to get a gold or even diamond rating, you must find an animal with a difficulty in the upper range for that species.

Probably a typo, but you get gold @800+
