You need to find areas of need (drink, eat, sleep) and find what time these aniamux come to the areas of need, then you can post on a tripod and use your callers, the animals will come.
You can also track and see if they are fresh.
If you are looking for deer it is very easy on Hirschfeld, serve your caller they come very easily.
Getting a regular supply of animals to kill is all about the groundwork.... my advice would be, don't worry about the numbers you see or kill atm, and go looking for and claiming need zones. Get as many as you can. On your travels looking for need zones you will stumble across prey to kill, anyway.
As someone said above, lakes are your friend as, of course, drinking need zones are by water. Don't go on a killing spree at a need zone and make it vanish. After a while you will log in and within a minute have something to lure in.
It's a game that demands time, but if you just wander around the stunning reserves gathering intel, it's still plenty of fun while you prime the map...
Doesn't take long for animals to pop up on this map. Need zones seem to be plenty in this map as well.
Hell the wolves will even hunt you but if you are well prepared you can make a lot of money killing them
Just make sure you have a large game gun on you such as the 7mm or .300 and bring some med kits as well.
how is it possible to not find them..maybe he is running round? or uses atv?
@Makker bart, what you are describing in your original post is stalking. It's doable, but the hardest of all. I've done it a few times, but it is time consuming, and often fails (for me).
The key fact about stalking is that the animal can travel far faster than you can without alerting you as to where it is. If you try to run, or even walk, it'll hear/smell/see you coming long before you know you got anywhere near it.
What Hidden Gunman is describing is a good idea -- it too is stalking, but without a specific target in mind. It's a great way to find animals already "hanging out" somewhere without spooking them before you know they are even there. But you have to travel slow. Really slow. If you have any idea that animals are in the vicinity, you should be in a slow crouch at most, and soon be crawling unless you are going for long, sniping shots.
If you are trying to chase down a specific target, however, it's going to take a very long time. You have to travel slower than the animal. You just cannot ever get close to it if you travel at a walk or run, and even a fast crouch is often going to make too much noise once you are detecting the animal in some way.
And that means you will not find the animal until it stops somewhere. That is, it comes to a need zone. Other than for the sheer challenge of pulling of this difficult task, why bother, when it is much easier to use need zones, and to setup an ambush for them. Use the various blinds (my favorite is the tripod). Get there early, then simply wait for them. If your aim is good, and you have the right weapon for the job, you might be able to litter the area with carcasses before leaving your spot to collect them all.
Your experience, plus gaining higher levels (and more perks and skills) will help with this enormously. If your shots are often bad, and you have flesh wounds running off in all directions, it can break this badly. But if you can drop animals fairly reliably, then they'll just keep coming back.
Good way to earn XP and money. Some folk don't like this (free world -- some folk need not use this tactic), but this is the easiest way to hunt.
As your skills and knowledge of the game grow, you can set harder challenges for yourself.
Your original question -- stalking a specific animal based on a mating call -- is the hardest possible way to hunt. Absolutely doable, but the hardest. If you have the lure for that animal, much easier to find cover, then lure it in (this is ambushing, not stalking). Or combine the two. Stalk the animal until you are close (maybe you can hear it moving), then lure it in.
It's your game -- play how you want.
