How to find killed ducks?

[FM Helldiver Radio]

If I shoot ducks over lake, how do I ever find it?
Often were are 3 or 4 kilometers shoreline and no "tracks" to follow.

They float to your position. Just wait for them. In fact all animals that fall in water will float to you. If they fall over land the dog is the best way to find them.

Do they float to were I am or were I was when I shot.

With animals killed along the shore there have been a few times when I've experienced a delay in them starting to float to my position. I've actually stayed on my tripod and glassed
a 175 meter kill that fell near the water for few min of RL time to be sure it stayed put. Then after trudging over to harvest the animal it was gone... Now a newbie to this game might have quickly assumed his/her kill had simply vanished and reported it as such. Being the un-trusting crusty old fart that I am, I began scanning the water with my binos and sure enough that dead dear was floating about half way to where I'd shot it from. A bit aggravating when it happens, but it happens.

They float to where you shot them from I believe.

That's correct. If you draw a straight line between their position and your position when you shot them, where that line meets the shoreline that's where they float to.

I actually had a moose float by me once when I ran around a lake not realising that the moose had fallen into the water. I laughed all the way back to my original position.

and don't forget when you run around the lake if you pass the render distance ( 400 mt +/- ) the body will disappear ( because of the last bug ), but it is possible harvest anyway

if in the water lookout for where they float they will usually come to you but if on land look on the map for the hunting pressure it should be somewhere around there in the middle and if you dare and what also could make it easier and has said to be fixed but hasn't really when ur in the middle of the hunting pressure
and you have a dog u could try and track it but its bs its not fixed at all you'll just end up crashing 7/10 times instead of 11/10 times

and the guy above you is wrong the body doesn't dissappear it just turns invisible but that sucks too yeah and its a wonder how the devs can update classic so much but not make a single patch that fixes that since its a huge problem

Hopefully they work on a "bird dog" and rework how birds work same time.

Can you explain the difference between disappear and invisible ...please. I ask only because when I learned what disappear meant in grade school it had something to do with ceasing to being visible, which is the definition of invisible.

dissappear is if something literally ceases to exist invisible is if something is not visible like oxygen

there is an invisible wall in your brain that has to dissappear for you to understand.
