PF Diamond puma

[Neo]

I've been chasing pumas for 60 hours, but nothing. It's just one of the diamonds need. Half that time wasn’t the 6 other animals like this ♥♥♥♥. I'm tired of this mission, I'm clueless. I had 1 troll lvl 9, I saw another lvl 9 escape but I didn't see any more in the area or near lakes. Can anyone help please? I know everyone has a different spawn. Major diamond places where you dropped a puma?

I got my diamond puma right under the main watchtower just south of the main outpost. He was south of the tower in the lupine field in the evening. I noticed him because he was scaring the mule deer.

I have yet to see a single diamond in PF. Been chasing that final mission also but no luck - endless gold's though. Oh well keep trying I guess but had to take a break from that reserve as I was just getting frustrated.

Hunt the lakes during puma drink time. I got a albino diamond puma lower left corner of map. The hard part of hunting the lakes down there is the foilage. Its very thick pretty much all the way around. I was searching for black buck diamond. very few male black buck have I seen, mostly females. Red deer and axis deer diamonds easy find.

There appears to have been a change in the animal pop distribution on the PF reserve when they introduced TruRac for Black Bucks and "fixed" the Axis deer problem. Some places where I've harvested diamond puma and water buffalo before the change have had the pop of both species reduced to the point of making them hardly worth going to anymore. For what it's worth, I've recently located some drink zones being actively used by both Male and Female Puma near the lake where you completed the mission requiring teal decoy placement back when you first starting out on the reserve.

There might not be a level 9 Puma on your map yet. Keep killing males of any size until one spawns as a replacement. On my map I've harvested 3 trolls so far so hope you're get luckier on the spawn than I.

set up a grind choose your best spots put down tents and tripods and shoot the males when they are drinking rinse n repeat eventualy a dimond will spawn

I literally got it two hours ago after a week of trying, yeah the water spots are best, once you find their drinking zones, check to make sure its a male *footprints* and then hunting blinds for the win lol.

If the puma has already spawned in a particular place and if I kill a puma on the other side of the map can replace it? I mean if I just grind the hotspots and the diamond puma spawn to another non-hotspot location then I fcked?

Once an animal is on your map it cannot be "replaced" by another animal. it's there and it's going to stay there until you kill it. A spooked animal may be temp driven off its' designated pathway but eventually it will return to it. That's been my experience thus far.

But this is ridiculous on how many gold pumas I have shot but have yet to see even one 9 legendary puma all I’m seeing is 7 and 8’s i have been hunting the lake hotspots I have 10 special lakes out of like 20 on this map that I specifically stick to and the other lakes only have smaller numbers so I leave them alone I’m gonna end up giving up sooner or later.
