so, I could complete all missions on Hirschfelden.

well, if there were no issue, I will not suffered in the first place.

I'm also stuck on this mission. No tracks, no deer. Tried 3 separate times, no luck.

It's doable,

[iRaDiCaL]

Assuming this mission works like all the other "harvest the wounded animal" type quests, I would expect the deer to stand around doing nothing close to the center of the marked area.

In this mission however, the entire mountain is completely void of all life. I have not seen a single track, or heard any calls on Bohndorf hill since I recieved this quest, apart from geese flying overhead.

Therefore I can only assume the quest is bugged out for me and OP, but might not be for everyone else.

Had no problem with this one. Try highlight another mission, fast travel away, quit the game and then restart and select the mission again. Should find the tracks in no time. I hit it downhill by a big tree.

[Domtaro]

thanks for information.

I tried many times, but not find him yet.
what I tried:
removed hunting pressure from Jonsdorf and Bohndorf.
did fast travel to Jonsdorf Outpost and rest 3days or more.
walked to mission area from southeast and looked for him.

no tracks, no calls, no noise, no visuals since starting mission.
this mission is only one left in Hirschfelden, therefor I can't hilight other mission.

well, I'll try some more time...

[NuCkEnFuTs]

Try the northwest corner of the mission zone.

[DarkLink]

Or maybe try toggle to Layton Lake and back.

[Striker]

He said he walked into the mission area. Walking is not sneaking. Perhaps a slower and less visible approach into the area would help.

[Domtaro]

I express exactly, I crouching and walking to area from least 500m front every time.
I think I know the hunting basis, because I completed all missions of Hirschfelden except "RETURNING THE FAVOR".

now, I sent a question to support while keep trying(together, doing the other reserve mission sometimes).

[Domtaro]

I got response from support. but not solved yet.
I will keep trying.

[Domtaro]

I saw information what "last update make this problem". but I don't know true or false.

having trouble with the "returning the favor" mision

so I'm trying to complete all the hirschfelden misssions but I'm stuck on the returning the favor (jäger). The problem is that I can't find the red deer. No tracks or anything. I've restarted the game multiple times and sneaked up on the area multiple times but still nothing. I havn't even seen it once. Is it a bug or am I just do something wrong?

Fleischer Returning the favor

Can someone tell me where on mars is this little bugger?, small zone and nada!, no footprints, no blood!, just a little lake valley with no red deer to be found!, is this glitched?... fix it!.

[Priger]

same problem here

[Technolero]

I just started the mission as well yesterday. Crouched walked in from a long way away, had the wind in my face, covered the entire area and didn't see a single track.
