Having Troubles

[76561198183875966]

I truly Love this game!
However, I have several issues withe the game.
1. I have set at numerous Feeding, Watering, & Resting zone for the entire time they are active & NO animals have showed up. Why?
2. The only animals I have gotten are during the day time crossing open areas & I can see them through the scope on my gun. Without highlighting them via the spot animal with the Binuculars. Which causing the animals to run away before I can get my rifle on them.
3. At night the highlighting not only cause the animal to run but does NOT last long enough to get my gun on them. Even with the night scope I can not find the animal to shoot it.
4. I have shot several animals & seen them fall down. I have marked the sighting on my map. However when I have gotten there & start my dog to tracking. I see the dog is searching for blood, then receive no blood found. I look for the running tracks & and never find the body or any blood spots.
5. I think the restrictions on where I can set up my tent, tripod stand or hunting blinds are stupid. I should be able to set them up any where I want. NOT this too open stuff or too inclined stuff.
6. Why can't the night scope highlight the animals automatticly?
7. When riding a 4-wheeler, why can't I lock the camera view to remain behind the rider. Instead of having the control it with the mouse?
8. I can never seen any small animals. If I am high enough I can see the tracks being formed but no animals sighted. Why?
9. In New England there is a quest requiring to shoot a Whitetail deer with silver are better. I have shot a gold, a bronze & a silver whitetail deer but the quest will not clear. Why?
Thanks for the game!

1. Possible things I can think of here: If it was only it a couple times it's possible you just got unlucky, but more likely there is something spooking the animals before they arrive. Are you set up in an area overlooking the need zone so that you can see them approach? If you are too into it, it's possible the animals see/smell you before you see them. It's also possible you are looking in the wrong spot. The need zone markers do not mark exactly where the animals will be but rather the general area where the need zone is. You might need to look around a bit.
2. The highlighting spot feature has absolutely no effect on animal behaviour. If they are running when you spot them, you are doing something else to spook them. Most likely you are running/walking and not seeing the animals until they have already spotted you and are getting ready to run. You need to constantly be surveying for animals in the distance and when you spot something, then get low and approach slowly.
3. Again, highlighting has no effect. Something else is causing them to spook.
4. I've never seen this issue. One trick you can use is if an animal has died, it will create hunting pressure on your map (the purple blotch). If you are having trouble finding the animal, you can travel to the centre of the purple blotch (which will be where the animal was first shot) and follow the blood trail from there. Dog should also be able to pick up the blood here.
5. Can't comment here. I've never used tents or tripods.
6. There is a skill you can unlock later that lets you spot animals with your scope.
7. No comment. Never used the 4-wheeler.
8. Small animals can definitely be tricky to see, especially if there is tall grass/plants. If you know an animal is there and haven't spooked it yet, you can try to stalk closer to it. A lot of small animals, especially some birds, also spook very early, so you need to be very careful if you are looking to get close to them.
8. Without knowing the specific mission, the most likely explanation I can think of is that it has to be done in a specific area. If there is a 'got to [area]' task before the 'harvest a silver whitetail' task, you need to shoot the animal in that area, even if that task is already checked. Other possibilities would be that you need to do it with a particular weapon, at a particular time of day, or from a particular distance. Any of these requirements should be somewhere in the quest description.
Hope some of this is helpful to you. Just keep practising and have fun.

1. Probably your scent trail blowing in their direction spooking them. (the green triangle thing on your compass). Try to make sure you're down-wind of them. Also, watch your noise and try to stay hidden in bushes and crouched when you get closer.

4. If you wound an animal with a non-vital hit, especially the larger ones like moose, they don't always bleed out and die. When this happens the dog will track it, but the animal will stop bleeding after a while. Now the dog is still tracking the animal, but there's no longer a blood trail. ... Solution: aim for those lung shots. Way better to get a vital hit.

I zoomed the map all the out & found no highlight ares. Then slowly zoomed in looking & found nothing. Tried with other Quests & all I got was a small hexagon with an arrow in it, but the area was NOT Highlighted. Thanks for your help!
