problems with hunting geese after update

[Gizmo]

Is anyone else having problems after the update?
I have a much harder time now just getting geese to come close to me with the call. I also have replaced all my lures to see if that was it but after hours of playing and goose calling I have yet to have any actually land where my decoys are. did the they screw up the geese some how after the update?
I mean its horse S*&t now feels like the hunter classic all over again or some sort of triple A title that doesn't care about the game only profits.

A few other posts have been made about this issue. They seem to be on alert at all times now.

yes cannot make them land...

Same issue, I only just bought the DLC as well :(

no worries tho ! its not just geese

most if not all animal behavior and how they react or respond to callers is broken

the scary part is - with some other bugs being in the game for years
we cant tell how long it will take for it being fixed

wow that does not make me feel good about buying all the dlc now. is there only like 2 people working on the game or is everyone just pulling an ea and not fixing anything pathetic

You dont need the duck hunting dlc, you can hunt canada goose and Ducks completely fine without the DLCs.
The bug has been in the game for a long time, you simply can not make the geese land anymore (like they are a non interractable object as of right now) You used to be able to spot them while they were flying but now? nope...

i have been hunting geese for 5 hours straight now and listening to podcasts in the back ground there have been 3 groups all in one min in the last 5 hours and non of them landed. update at this exact min 1 group came by not even attempted to land but it let me shoot them anyways.

Same here .....

Yeah I just went out to have my first try at hunting geese. Worked a charm the first time they came straight in at me. Got 5 kills. That was a couple of hours ago and they've not come anywhere near my decoys since then, even though I've moved all over the map trying different spots.

*Update - actually they have just flown straight over and completely ignored me. They were not killable.

Yup me too, sometimes a vee will break into smaller groups and change direction but no attempt to come lower or land. The image is of my set up, 60 decoys, two hides.... I see it's listed in the 10 Dec 'known issues' from EW Meggles, so let's hope it's mended soon!

The spottable broken v packs I am able to shoot if I use something with penetration, in flight since they don't exactly land.

I hope they fix it, I have 6 locations set up with at least 15 decoys on each one. I was very successful before the update but not to much any more.

Gizmo, same story here, as others have indicated. I really miss not being able to print out money hand over fist, while jacking up my rifle, shotgun, and pistol scores (a.k.a. goose hunting); but these temporary problems have not soured me on the DLCs in general, nor even this one in particular. I hope they get it fixed soon, but the game is still great, nonetheless. Guess it's time to go spend all the money I got goose hunting on some other adventure in the game.
