Conni 20# Harvest 3 foxes downed from ground blind near spreeberg lake

[⎛⎝sàtán⎠⎞]

Hello guys, i'm currently trying to complete the mission where you have to hunt and harvest 3 foxes, near spreeberg lake. To make things worse they have to be downed while being in a ground blind.

My question is, where the fox are the foxes? i have spent more hours then i like to admit trying to spot, find tracks or hear calls but without any luck. I have also tried a varity of different times both day and night.

So is there anyone who can tell me about their need zone's in the area as i havn't been able to find anything yet? (bought the tent and ground bind DLC) and currently set one up in the water far south in the lake. in hope that i could spot them from far away or when they would come drink.
Yet again without any luck.

PLS HELP! xD

You could try scouting the adjoining areas along the boundaries of the mission area. Your caller is good for 200 meters so if you find fox sign within 200 meters of the mission area and set up within the mission area you might be able to call one or more into the mission area. Fox hunting is all about patience.

I'm honestly just about to go harvest Conni instead...
Autobot i have tried that, my problem is the empty area, no calls or tracks.

last night i spent creating hunting pressure elsewhere, it seems to have helped abit since more deers and stuff come by (no foxes yet tho) early morning i cuaght a mating call from a fox and tried to lure it in, but it never even got close to my ground blind (150m)

Honestly what a horrible mission. and it has to be 3 foxes -.-'

Am on this myself right now, got 2/3 so far, and have found them at the Southern end of the area, near that little lake. Have found a Water zone for Red Fox down there. Hope that helps some.

Has all need zone times for all animals, plus the integrity info for all weapons and animals.

I finished this one not too long ago, southern part of the zone is the best like Challie63 said.

I found this drinking zone, moved the ground blind and the tent to the orange marker and harvested two.

I also got my setup there, my tent is just further away (400m) i tried yesterday to just get a need zone either rest or drinking but never saw any fox yet again, so figure the search continuous for me today.

Sorry the first attempt was a bust. Animals may or may not visit the same need zone every day or night. The only fox need zones I've found have been in fairly dense cover. Managed to get them them to pause while they were crossing the road on their way to/from the actual thing I clicked on. Never had one bark in response to the caller either even with the perk/skill to increase the chance one would do so. Some days I'll see several fox in Hirsch (like someone turned on the fox faucet) and on other days nary a one.

Freaking finally! just downed and harvested the third and last fox.

To anyone else who havn't completed the mission yet. I went to the north west area (near the look out tower) and moved around in the area till i either found some tracks or calls, then i tried to lure them into the ''mission zone'' and then harvested them.

Otherwise thanks for the help :)

Just for additional info for people who might need this: I found a fox rest zone right at one of the corners of the mission area northeast, right on the border to the crop fields.
I set up a tent there and there were several foxes running around between 8 and 11, lured them all nearby and shot them.

Somewhat necroposting here, restarted my progress this summer and got everything else done in Hirschfelden except this mission. Do have the tent and blind DLC, without those this mission would be even more of a major pain.

Finally got three foxes, I assume the animal redistribution done as part of the Revontuli Coast launch can help a bit with the usual issues of no foxes ever transiting the mission area. In my case RNG smiled upon me and I got two foxes that were transiting the land bridge southwest of Spreeberg Castle. But if I were a game designer I would not have a certain region to be mandatory, should be enough to down foxes from blinds wherever on the map. As it stands now it is rather a pain to spot a fox and pop a DLC blind as usually one cant place them in wooded bushy areas. Best bet to get a fox, as long as RNG places need zones in appropriate areas would be at the open areas to the north or perhaps the coniferous areas down SW and S. Or next to the castle proper. But sure nice to get 4K ingame money as a reward. The last fox I took with a 20ga autoloader with #4 buck that scored 10.30 ie gold, as no organs were hit the score was lessened.

When doing Conni #18 (where one had to shoot a fox at 75m or longer) I got the only diamond fox I've ever found but sadly hit its spine = point deduction and thus didnt score as a diamond. Oh well

Do the structures you can build in the world count as ground blinds?

Yes, as long as it is the ground blind that's built and not the tower hunting structure. There are two different types of structures you can build. In map mode you hover over the structure icon and it will say ground blind if its the ground blind type, otherwise it will be the tall tower type.

I found a need zone to the north east just outside of the map markers for the mission.

Remember as long as you are standing inside the mission map boundaries when you shoot them, it doesn't matter if the animal is physically outside that area, even if you leave and harvest outside.
