Ranged Hunting Question

[frezo121]

Does anyone know if the old twitch hunting method works still? I've been playing on and off for many years but have not really tried big game hunting since World 6/7 I believe.

If twitch hunting doesn't work anymore, what is the current method of keeping animals from running too far from your boat to bring them back?

this work with ranged too, just insta deaggro as soon as combat stars and shoot at will, as soon as they start fleeing aggro them again, and if it fails, quickly deaggro and try again. As far as i know this is the best we have so far, since animals don't twitch anymore

This issue with ranged hunting right now is the flat damage reduction higher "tier" animals have. Moose ignore the first 65 damage of each hit for example, armor pen doesn't change that.

But it works pretty well for smaller game like boars/deer.
