For any beginners listen to flinter you will not regret it I wish I had watched him when I first started playing years ago but geese hunting is 100% percent worth it and the best way I've made 7 mill from it and so can you
your beginner series have been helping me so much as i started 2 weeks ago i rarely found animal before but when i watched these videos i found out spots where to shoot and where animal usually be
Hey, just started the game and wanted to start geese hunting with the dlc. I can’t place the decoys, it can’t be placed in this area? What do I have to do to place them ?
I actually love using the layout blind, and have taken over 150 geese in one sitting using the 6-shot 12ga Cacciatore before taking a break. It's really fun, and easy to do.
I keep meaning to give geese a go, but my shotgun skills are bad. Maybe I'll just keep at it and get better lol. Your vid has given me an urge to try it now. I got the DLC AGES ago when steam had a sale on dlc.
you can use a 22 if you’re more comfortable with that, my advice would be to use 2 shotguns (i use 20ga) and a semi auto 22 (i use the ar or the 22 pistol) double the shotgun rounds allows for a higher margin of error and you can use the 22 to get any stragglers after you run out of shotgun rounds
@@1029shark I had a go, following Flinters Video, but using the Couso 16GA (it holds 5 cartridges) and the ar 22. No problem getting the geese but there's something about me and shotguns. Can't hit a barn door! Mostly missing with shotgun, but getting one or two with Zarza.. But I want to increase my shotgun score so I can unlock the sight. Just gotta keep on practising. The vid was very helpful setting up etc. but only *I* can better my aim lol.
@@hedcaseI know this is probably way too late, but try changing your FOV in settings to 90, and when specifically hunting birds increase your sensitivity
Thanks. Even at level 52, I learned a couple of helpful things. I especially like the idea of using the 243, because with the 22 I am not very successful-yet, so I'm wasting lots of ammo=$$$. I just wondered why you would choose such a small field, surrounded by trees and heavy vegetation, making it harder to harvest your kills. especially for beginners. Your other video on geese hunting is the one I used for my 2 locations and they are paying off big time. THANKS again
Can you make a new video on how to get handgun EXP? Im really struggling to get exp for it, besides using birdshot ammo for handguns (eg. killing rabbits etc)
Hey flinter When your done shooting the geese, and it's all purple like yours in video, the geese still come or is it better to relocate? and is it better to have a second or third setup to rotate to? Also.. Thanks for info on that...also love to know what is rare and not with them is awesome info to...Glad ur included that!
From what I have seen u don't need to relocate they still spawn (I was hunting them for about 3 hours yesterday and made 105000!!!) And as for rares the Grey plumage type is considered rare and the lusistic and melanistic are very rare(for geese they aren't crazy rare but I haven't seen 1)
Pretty much geese don’t care about the hunting pressure but after awhile I’ll reset the time, go to a different map, back to hirsch, and start over again
Actually, the hunting preassure will affect the geese, because they no longer land on the ground or get spooked soon after they landed if the hunting pressure is high. If you rather wait until the geese land until you start shooting, you should consider that. Otherwise, they will still fly over, so if you have no problem shooting them in the air, it should not affect you.
I don't know if it's the new Revontuli update or what it is but the gees are so mutch faster than they are in the video and I don't really know if i am doing something wrong but after they land i can shoot maximum 2 and then they go zooming.
Hey ok so i got the dlc and followed video by the book even used same field but no matter what i do the geese don't land ??? i spaced out 20 decoys in middle of field and am even in a shelter but thet never land ooh and dogs laying down too , so frustrated as only got it to stack cash but only bloody shot 1 goose .Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have no idea why its not working for me cheers
Amazing videos! Thank you so much for creating this extremely helpful series of videos. I just started playing a few weeks ago and wasn't doing well at first, but I've improved so much thanks to watching your series. Would you be willing to do a guide on how to hunt mallards as well?
Yea.. they changed the duck-behavier alot, not long ago - now, they twist and turn in the air, as they take off - Apparently, they dont like to land on regular fields anymore either ..the dense wood, is the new hot place to go(for them)?!! ..try go find them there..!! -.-
I've only just gotten into the game in the past month, and already have forty hours in it. You keep making me want more and more dlc!! Edit: Are there any tips on getting DLC cheaper? does it go on sale in steam sales or am I better off just stiffing it and getting them full price?
Without a Caller you can visit Jornsdorf from time to time the Geese fly Really low over the Mountain i have shot some on the South Cliff Outpost by the way up to North. And a lot of times i scarred some who was sitting in the Grass or swimming on the Lake by Mrs. Fleischers Hut
With the new update, the 22lr rifle has been nerfed or something. I can hardly hit anything with it. When I do manage to get a goose, I notice the shot placement on the harvest viewer shows my shots all over the place. Anyone else having this problem?
My advice for console players is don’t use the 20 gauge to hunt geese. You normally will have to make follow up shots, which are difficult enough on console, and you’re just wasting time on one geese.
@@teddyb34r there are 2 guns I recommend but I can’t remember which ones. As long as it’s not the 20 just find which one works best for you. Maybe you miss shots so you need ammo capacity. Or maybe you’re grinding for money so you’d need more ammo to take down more birds. I recommend 2 shotguns and a .22 to follow up as they fly away.
Hey just found your channel as a new player and your videos are very helpful. But I wanna ask do you think buying DLCs such as gun packs can kinda "cheat" your way through the game? Because the guns seems kinda OP like the AR and stuff. I'm afraid maybe it will take away part of the fun early game? Is that the reason why you're resisting yourself using any DLCs? I don't know if I should buy the bundle or just the base game.
What would be better the .300 or 7mm. The .300 has more rounds for follow up shots but I rarely do that or shoot other ones. But the 7mm covers more classes so which is best.
I would go with the 7mm. It’s cheaper, and you can take more species with it. You can drop a whitetail, or take a Buffalo. I’ve taken shots at over 400 meters with it. I’ve also gotten follow up shots with it too, so that won’t be an issue, as you can reload pretty quickly.
If you aren’t worried about taking multiple shots I would choose the 7mm and exactly as Christopher says, you can practically shoot anything with that gun and it’s not as expensive 😅
@@Flintergaming Ok but would it be worth to buy the 7mm if I bought the .300 a couple weeks ago. Also what would be your load out to use for all class animals. Just rifles tho. Thanks for the help
@@thelastsurvivor482 You could use the .300, the 243, and a 22 or shotgun. If you’ve already got the 300, I wouldn’t worry about the 7mm, although lower class animals do die a lot quicker when shot by the 7mm when compared to the 243.
Does this still work? Im trying this exact same thing and the geese just ignore the call and the decoys and just fly over. Not close enough for the shotgun, so i cant shoot them at all.
As a beginner myself i would be interested in a video about the other weapons besides rifles. So pistols, shotguns and bows. The rifles got the range so right now i only use it. But where are the pros and cons about the other weapons? Atleast you using the shotgun here haha
Been looking at trying this and was wondering is it worth it if you don't have the dlc? Not sure if the decoys are mandatory or if you can do this with just the call
Same, I believe they changed their behaviour and even increased speed while fleeing. You should just let them land and then shoot. I'm killing like 2-4 for each wave but they are coming back very fast, like 1 min after I'm getting back to that "bed". Perhaps this method of farm is not such OP as it used to be, but still very good imo.
Geese disappear for anyone else? I watch them fall and when I go to pick them up they are all gone. They only don’t disappear unless they land before I shoot them
@@Flintergaming Thanks! I did not know we have the that seserve/map with the base game..lol. I guess there are updates and patches since (PC), now I cannot put the decoy down on this reserve or Layton Lake. I try using the duck caller to get them down but the just circling too far up for any shot. So, now the decoy and the weopon pack 1 to hunt duck is useless for me....lol
Whenever i kill a goose and i see it go down and feathers fly, i cannot find or retrieve the goose i know I’ve killed about three so far and I’ve found none
Always spot and them and bring your dog out if you saw a blad splatter or tracks dog will find it just go to where you hit it and dog will track it at 50 meters

The geese wont come fast idk what to do
Almost like they dont come at all

I was always confused why I could never find geese this just helped me a lot thanks
Good! Happy hunting! 😄
For any console players having trouble getting kills, i find it easier to hit the geese on the ground. This works like a dream. Tysm for the videos

That’s 80,000 in cash right there too😂
Great video Flinter, thank you for posting. I like the 243 idea with the free ammo. I won't get so frustrated when I miss.🤣

Little late to the party here but quite simply its the same thing. Stick your decoys out. Call them in when they fly overhead and use a shotty.
5:08 You didn't get dinged for the .243 ammo.
When I shoot at ducks, they don't just hover over me like this, they fly away very fast.

I managed to get all DLC together in a pack when they were on sale, though that was a while ago
Christmas time there is a sale. Doesn't help much right now but if they release a new map maybe a sale then.
Steamdb will be your best friend. They also went on sale yesterday lol.
@@drizzt109 Haha I saw that! Right after I asked! Well I bought all the weapon packs and equipment and I think three maps.

im having the same problem,why is that?
Yes I would like to see one with no dlc
if you can do ducks can you pls because i never see ducks flying
but what do we do if the geese don't come
why would they decide to change the cash pay for geese from average 1000 to average 600
Not sure why but you still make enough that it doesn’t really matter since there are so many flocks of geese.
Why do my geese always fly so high. And if they actually get low, they land in a nearby field behind cover before I can even get my sights on them
