Can hunting pressure stay forever (theoretically)?

[SirRantsAlot]

I read that it will disappear from a zone if pressure in other zones raises. So i started an experiment with african dlc. I shot 3 animals and then the pressure was high as it should be.
I shot in 7 other areas but in the first area it does not change.
So i decideds to pause africa for one week (ingame).
Coming back everything was as before even after a weak nothing has changed. But in reality this never happened. Usually after some hours animals are back or do not care for the artifical thing like hunting pressure.

yep, you need to keep playing the map for the pressure ares to diminish quicker, or use the rest times to help move it along , its the most suck part of the maps , hate this pressure zoning , i have gone back to maps after 2 months of not playing it and the pressure zones still there but were slightly diminished only slightly , on my maps any how !

[SirRantsAlot]

Oh that sounds bad. I know from rl that it wont take long for all animals to come back. Its mostly the opposite of pressure. If you hunt two or three hunting animals others will move in cause its ambitious for them.
It would be better if there is a limit for these zones. Maybe 5. If you go somewhere and 6 appear 1 will automatically disappaear.

Hunting pressure disappears completely after 13 kills.

Putting hunting pressure in an area does not necessarily mean animals leave that area. The sound of the shot might drive them away only temporarily but not far enough to leave the zone. Many are still there, but they respond differently, more nervous, less likely to vocal/respond to calls as quickly (if at all) etc.. Low level animals are much more stupid than trophy animals.

Hunting pressure zones can keep some animals from entering into it. I've had many responding to calls hang up right at the edge of it and herds that ran off at the gunshot return, but set up shop right at the edge rather than go back to the same exact spot they were in before. Will hunting pressure keep animals avoiding predators (or you) from entering into an area with hunting pressure already applied? No. Panic may move them all kinds of ways. I'm just saying that through my observations not all animals prefer to enter into an area once hunting pressure has been applied and the higher the pressure, the less likely they are to be so inclined.

After I've killed an animal in Balmont ( for example), I've had to kill at least 13 animals in other regions for that hunting pressure, now marked on my map in Balmont, to entirely fade away. I've also read that it will fade after 72hrs spent hunting in game play (sleeping does not count). If that is true perhaps it's a combination of time and kills in other regions. Doesn't matter all that much to me. The fastest way to remove hunting pressure is to kill a lot of animals elsewhere and I've yet to find a diamond quality animal inside a hunting pressured area. Found some little ones, but no biggies.

OK. But i stayed away nearly a week (ingame) and the first zone is still purple. And i surely killed much more than 13 animals after the first kill. Thats why i wonder.

In zones where there is no hunting pressure. As example when you kill 13 animals in the northern cornfields of Schönfeldt you only got hunting pressure there. Then you can go to the southern cornfields of Schönfeldt, kill 13 animals again and your hunting pressure in the northern cornfields of Schönfeldt is gone.

13 kills isn't enough, i just killed 13 geese in the same spot and i still have hunting pressure else where.

Yes that is what i mean.

I don't hunt birds much, and have never shot a goose, so I may be off on this... but do birds give the same amount of hunting pressure that other animals do? I shot a single duck on Parque Fernando a couple days ago and noticed that the pink color of the pressure zone was much lighter than what I'd see if I shot a single deer.

I'd read that duck hunting pressure didn't cause other animals need zones to disappear, either. Maybe something about their zones is different and it takes quite a few more to remove hunting pressure zones elsewhere.

I copied/pasted my response in another thread:
3 kills in the same spot & animals supposedly will no longer use the area or need zone, but this does not apply to ducks & geese. They will still come in to the high pressure area. 4 kills in the same spot & the need zones will disappear. The 4 kills can be any animal, including ducks, geese, rabbits. It is possible to rediscover the zone in the same general area after the pressure is cleared up.

To answer your question, yes killing 4 or more ducks in the same spot will cause all need zones in the area to disappear.
---
AFAIK, the only difference w ducks & geese is that they will still come in to a call or decoys in a high pressure area. Other than that fact the pressure they create when killed is the same as w any other animal.

I also remember reading a thread that pressure in the same spot stacks up to 10 kills. The only time I have stacked that many in one spot is w ducks & geese. And that spot does not totally clear up after 13 kills elsewhere.

Twenty blood spots will stay on the map. Even if they are stacked.
Moving to another area and killing 20 ducks, for example, will clear all other spots. No matter how long you wait, the spots don't automatically leave. They are replaced.
