Hunting Using Deer

Postby McWafflez » Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:04 pm

Hi there I'd just like to tell you guys about a hunting technique I've discovered after seeing deer and bears fight by themselves. I like to call it deer herding and it can work with 1-2 people. If you encounter a bear on one of your foraging runs and you circle around it and find a deer within a few screens you're in business. You simply stand next to the deer and block its path from going anywhere other than towards your bear (obviously this part works better with more than one person). Once the deer and the bear are within about 10-15 tiles you may want to back off because if the bear kills the deer and you're too close he will come for you next (as my friend found out). This will guarantee you at least a deer carcass if not a bear, or even both if there's another deer around! I find this form of hunting fun to do and fairly challenging when trying to herd your deer around and hope to see other getting success using it. On a side note I've gotten about 7 bears and 3 deer using this hunting technique and here are a few screenshots of the aftermath.

If you aren't worried about the bear carcass its easier to just trap a deer with fallen logs and stomp him to death. (personal experience anyway, though I'm pretty much terrified of bears so I don't approach them ever.)

Or just get an alt and have him aggro bears into things.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

Do snakes fight bears? Might be just as easy to lift some logs near a bear then run away ☺
can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will be boxed after sword is out. - Battlebug (Sw:tor forums pre-wipe)

You can also attack a deer/any kind of other animal and engage in combat with another and they will fight each other first and then attack you, This gives you enough time to get out of combat and come back and get free food.
I reported this on the first forums but was ignored :C

Got 2 bears in 1 hour doing this :3. Kindof hard finding a deer near a bear though.

What do you use to aggro the deer, a rifle?
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.

Very funny. Seriously though, it feels like just going up and stabbing it to then run away is a little risky, innit?
