Callers for Cape/Water Buffalo and Bison

[S.Cilla]

Is anyone using a 'caller' that works with Cape Buffalo, Water Buffalo, and Bison? Normally I try to track them at certain times, but often they hide in the tall grass and will not come out, and I am not going in. LOL!

Apparently if you have the right skill you can use the Red Deer caller to attract bison. Dunno about the Water or cape buffs though.

Thank you will check my 'skills'

no callers for them but they are so big and slow you really dont need one, just get in their area and you will find them.....or they will find you....

there is also a perk that gives you a better chance of attracting other animals.

Who's Deer? is a tier 3 skill of the ambusher skill tree. It increases the features of callers.

Level 1 Adds a random chance of attracting a species that is not usually attracted by a particular caller.

Level 2 Adds a random chance of inducing a vocalization response from a species that is not usually affected by a particular caller.

Sorry, I can't remember what attracts what. Maybe someone with a better memory can chime in?

yeah you dont call in bison or buffalo, dont bother, just go hunt for them, huge black beasts, cant miss 'em.

Gemsbok react to the snort wheeze caller, rabbits to the deer grunt but I've never had any luck attempting to attract a Bison, W Buff or C Buff.

ATV works well at attracting cape buffalo. Too well, sometimes...one time I had five chasing me.

Haha! This is too true. I once died about 50m away from an outpost and by the time I respawned I had another 2 of 'em trying to gore me again.

when you are on your ATV you are usually too fast for them, but try to get off the ATV and wait for some time when you scared off some buffalos...

yesterday the wildboar caller lured a european bison in, but I also have the depending skill for it

ya know buffalo are color blind right ? they react on the movement, not the color.
that's why the guys on corrida need to kill the bull in time before it realise that the problem isnt the blanket-♥♥♥♥ but the guy next to it. :P
