I know this video is a pretty old one, but I just recently got into the hunter cotw and I really enjoyed watching you take this more realistic approach to it. For me especially the glowing tracks and animal outlines take a lot of the immersion from the game, allowing you to shoot a fleeing animal you can't even see etc. Call visualization, calling animals and all the other "unrealistic" parts I don't really mind, since the game's never going to be 100% realistic regardless. I'd really love seeing more videos like this one also on the other reserves, haven't found much more like it neither on your channel nor anywhere else on UA-cam.
@@nuke2099 while it may not be the most ethical its what people do they get the most meat out of the animal because you shoot the spine and it drops then you slit its throat

Congrats on the almost diamond elk :D ive been tryna get one for SO long! For diamonds do they have to be 950 or less? I got a 948 boar and unfortunately for me, not diamond
‘I’ve never seen that herd before’ what does he mean by that? Can you track herds if deers at specific locations? Theres so many males each herd. I’m still new to the game.
This is how I play about 90% of the time, using a .270 and the bow. The other 10% I am doing the kill-everything hunt for cash! lol Tracking can be a huge pain like this so make good shots! Even managed a few mission completions like this! I think this style of play makes you more careful and patient, more like real life hunting. I've never had the kind of luck you did with that gold elk though!!!
I mean I don't think it would take away any realism to zero your stuff before the hunt. Or at least look at the zeroing before cause what real Hunter would go hunting without any idea where their stuff will hit? xD it's less realistic not to know that.
I wish the racks still looked like that in the game same with how the animals die ever since I’ve started playing the racks have looked all weird and it doesn’t look natural how they fall
I have a Bolt action .270 Win, a .338 Win Mag, and yes a .460 S&W sighted with a 8x32.. Among a few others lol. I use my .460 to hunt big game when im tired of my rifle or shotgun hunting. Idk about sighting a bull at distance with a straight shot to the spine but not saying you couldnt take down a bull with a handgun. Im going to do some research a little and make some calls but I think im going to try this lol. But this game is a game none the less.. Its not real life. I really enjoy the game as a hunting enthusiast. Just maybe don't do what you can do in this game out in RL lol. Sorry thats just my 2 cents and hope nobodies panties got put in a twist.
Good hunt man! Consec' harvests is a crap game mechanic... a diamond is a diamond, Consec' should be a cash bonus only or something Edit* maybe a mission objective. Keeping it realistic you should have checked your firearms zero range, you'd know what it was if you're heading out hunting for realz'.
If you shoot them in the "boiler room" with the right type of weapon they drop pretty quick usually, you can't max score them always but you get pretty consistent 85-100% quickill with the right cartridge selection in my experience and a double lung shot
I wouldn’t recommend a pistol on a moose I’ve hunted my whole life a trust me a moose will die with a 243 and you’d have to shoot it in the heart or the neck cause no one gut shots any animal cause it sucks to clean it and it doesn’t drop it
I love playing theHunter realistically. With that being said, if I'm playing for realism, I'll always take shots that I would only take irl. Heart/lung, very limited follow up shots, waiting for the animal to face broadside, head on or quartering towards
I'm gonna do this video again soon actually :) lung shots are now the way to go, and also, apparently I won't bring a pistol, because a lot of people were very much not happy with that xD
@@Flintergaming can't wait for this video, I really enjoyed this one but one with more realistic shots would be great. Keep up the great work. Also, is there any schedule to when you stream and where? I keep missing them. Thanks
This concept is really cool. It's too challenging for where I'm at in the game, but it's really fun to watch someone (with $1.26M in the bank!) who knows what they're doing play in this style. I second someone else's comment about trying an archery-only version of this.
You should Show the anatomy part of the animal after you kill it I like that cool feature where you can see where your bullet/arrow went in. My two cents. Pretty fun game as well. Very challenging
In australia it's illegal to hunt with a pistol, so I challenge you to hunt with 1 rifle, shotgun or bow (excluding the crossbow since it's also illegal here)
Flinter, you made elk hunting way harder than it has to be. In a real hunting situation elk can come in practically on a string during their rut, calling for them is actually one of the most viable ways to hunt them
Flinter you can find a bull or two mixed in with a heard of cows. Heard bulls are only found in or around rut (this is when calling is a viable option). If it weren’t this time the bulls would almost exclusively be found by themselves or in bachelor heards. If it were post rut(usually beginning in November), then the bears would be much more scarce than they are because the majority would already have started hibernation. In my opinion it’s almost undeniably the rut
I tested it in the range with most weapons and the only time the weapon zeroing actually meant anything was beyond 300m I was hitting bullseyes sighted in at 150m hitting a 50m Target.
Most realistic thing would be either rifle or bow, and the go for one species only, maybe Roosevelt or Red Deer in Hirschfelden, cause they are the hardest to shoot. Bow makes it even better cause you don't really wanna take shots above 75 yards. Then go heart or lung.
Was expecting hardcore tracking for a lot of the video and then a heart or double lung shot. Smacked my head at the hardcut to a spine shot on a moose with a revolver at 60 meters :P
you should a realism hunt where the community give you one tag like a bull elk tag or a cow tag or even an either sex tag and have things like rabbits and coyotes open but you can only shoot one animal of the big game category
I started playing theHunter with COTW, but now that i've tried theHunter Classic i'm stuck on it ! Sadly it has 10 years old graphics, but it's so much more realistic and complete than COTW. If only it had the same graphics than COTW, it would be so awesome 🤤
can`t wait to get my hands on the new africa map. only 5 days from now, until they release the dlc (30.8.). lets hope, it`s not the same buggy shit, like the geese dlc.
Would be cool to see Flinter do a hunt like this, but instead of shooting anything and everything, act like he has tags. Say he has a tag for an Elk. He must be picky and pass on smaller bulls and get a realistic sized trophy. Silver Ridge Peaks would be perfect for this.
What could possibly be exciting about going out for a hunt and knowing 99% sure that you are going to find a piebald if you look in the right area? Kinda takes away the fun out of the video imo.
@@ghostlynxx8286 yeah I know. But especially in a video called "realistic hunt" he could at least go for a heart shot. Spine shots in real life only drop and paralyze the animal.
I do! But sadly the game is made that way. Here's the thing. With me not having tracks on, if I miss the heart, probably at least 50% chance I dont find the animal :(
I like your idea but your missing the compass with wind direction. Which in real life we don't need cause we feel it to know. In game you can't tell wind direction by feel
A hunter should only be taking in wind direction to know if he’s upwind or downwind of the animal. If you’re taking a shot on an animal where the distance is making you account in the wind, you shouldn’t be hunting as you can seriously hurt the animal rather than killing it.
Yea :) and you can call anything irl I suppose. Point was calling irl is nothing like in game. Ive never hunted elk but I cant imagine one call brings 5 bulls in on a rope if ya know what I mean
In real life I'd have a good knife or two, small camp axe, my primary weapon being bow or rifle whatever and my .44 magnum pistol with hand loaded jacketed hollow points.
I think you're the first to mention carrying a pistol. I didn't have much choice with how the game works if I wanted any chance at bigger game, so glad to see at least someone carries a sidearm 😃
Realistic ide have a gps with me and a bunch of other 2020era tech. Ide have laser traps reading weights and texting me with option to launch spy drone. But ide defo have wind hud feeling wind direction or using a lighter. Track hightlights aren't realistic but owell. Its hard enough.
Yeah bud clearly you don’t hunt cause you don’t realize that if you shoot a big animal like a elk or a moose even a whitetail it will just wound it and it won’t kill it it may kill it in about 20 minutes at least but it won’t drop it and if you shoot a moose or a bear with a pistol the moose may die but the bear probably won’t unless you shoot it in the head so clearly you are ignorant
@@icantthinkofaname1557 i dont think you realize how big of a pistol he is using also people use pistols for bear hunt and if you can use a bow and spear to hunt you can use a pistol youre the one being ignorant
That’s not the cause bows and spears are sharp so they pierce and no if you shoot a fucking bear or a moose or an elk with a pistol it’ll just run away and you won’t be able to track it cause there will be so little blood and also there are a lot of rifle calibers that you can’t shoot those animals with cause it’ll do close to the same thing as a pistol so stfu cause you clearly don’t know bullshit about guns and hunting a calibers
@@icantthinkofaname1557 SMITH AND WESSON 500 IS MEANT TO KILL A BEAR AND IT DOES There are pistol ammo that are more than capable of killing a bear or moose do some research buddy
Yes super realistic, everybody walks around and shoots moose in the spine with a scoped pistol😂
I was limited ok xD

thanks! I'm so ready!

love the vids and i also love hunting with the tracks off

950+ for diamonds. I've had so many 948s and 949s :( You'll get one, keep after it!
you must have been playing for like a few days in a row to see all these animals. i play it for 5 hours and MAYBE see 2 animals total
Wow! That was awsome flinter. Well done
Do you think they will ever add pronghorn antelope into the classic and or call of the wild?
They'd probably have to add an entirely new map, but that would be cool.
Your wish has came true
‘I’ve never seen that herd before’ what does he mean by that?
Can you track herds if deers at specific locations? Theres so many males each herd.
I’m still new to the game.
Try this at Hirschfelden for an even bigger challenge. I play CoTW inbetween this and the default setup. Way more immersion.
Hmmm, hirsch would be tough, I think I rely a lot more on calls there..
Hey mate have you ever gotten a 1000 score diamond lion?

Are all the animals the same once u kill it the same one come back? Like i dont understand how the spawns work.
Still not first. Lol. Nice video man . Always love the realistic hunts your the best!

Try getting a diamond in those conditions.
For the name challenge, ofcourse.
You can respec points in rifle points to skip the zero skill. I've still never used it. :)

I’m a noob but I keep one of those tent outposts on me
I just started playing this game and brought the wrong ammo for the rifle I had with me. One of those DOH! moments for sure.

U can reset attributes and turn off "spot animal" option. Also hunt males only. Cool vid
I think you can turn off spot outline, but not the text, right?
@@Flintergaming not sure
Non realistic spine shot ?
I had a 5 elk but shots weren’t counting so I restarted the game and no more bulls...

I had a 490 elk but my game lagged and caused me to get a flesh wound, I got the body to de spawn so it should still be on my map
Where is this on the map? It ha great hunting. When I commented this I didn’t finish the video yet so if you mention it I’m sorry
Could you do a bow hunt in thins
I think I'm going too!
you should a realism hunt where the community give you one tag like a bull elk tag or a cow tag or even an either sex tag and have things like rabbits and coyotes open but you can only shoot one animal of the big game category
