I had to chase them into the mission area from the south-west

If you haven't done the Red Deer missions involving Bohndorf then don't shoot at any of you might encounter now.

There's a hill on southern slope of that most northwestern lake, just above the POI flag, overlooking the lake, where you can find boar travelling regularly. It's a point where a corridor is the only access from that point to the lake below.

I have been completely around the lake, both during the day and at night, and still do not see any boars

The spot I'm directing you to is on the lower south side, closer to the east, at the top of a very high ridge looking down toward the lake.

There is a vanilla hunting stand there, and you can almost see a passage going past that stand toward east and down the slope along the eastern bank toward the lakes eastern woods.

This passage is used by boar and bison.

Cant recall time of day at the few times I've been there.

I used to have stag stand near there and would always use that vanilla stand to get a few bison. Even took a very nice albino bull bison there.

I regularly watched boar going up and down that passage.

I'm working on tressler #3 and the stand is outside the zone, I have seen boar in that area though

[Geronimo]

Not sure about distance involved, can you lure them into the mission area?

[sidewinder u.s.n. ret.]

I'll try to when I finish the mission I am on now

[Geronimo]

Let us know how u make out.

Here's a tip so u dont waste time.

When luring prey from one area into another, remember that what you are actually doing is fighting their natural programmed 24 hour pathway. Which they will constantly be ready to return to as soon as they are no longer distracted from it.

Your 'luring' is a temporary distraction.

The trick is not to get too far ahead of them as you move along giving them that momentary break from your enchantment, which could result in having to reacquire from scratch.

Also avoid spooking or hunting along the way, making sure you get well into the mission zone before shooting so it doesnt flee beyond the mission perimeter before it drops.

Think of it like 'drawing and holding AGGRO' if you're familiar with that in games like WOW.

The best scenario is to lure them within the area and into any zone you know is handy, trying to time it with right zone type timing for that species, hoping that while you have lured them there they might start using that zone and you can connect them to it. Now they will continue to be in that area even if you have to restart.

This is what the mission is actually trying to teach you.

Which brings us to another method of getting a species to travel outside of its vanilla programming. And that is exerting hunting pressure in area adjacent to the mission zone.

However workable, there is no guarantee in which direction they will choose to go to their temporary new range.

I had to chase them in from Bohndorf Canyon.
