theHunter: Call of the Wild - PC
Archery Guide:
--------------
Written by Kanuzira.
This is a guide for al archery beginners and fanatics. I love the art of
archery and all the things that come with it, this is why I chose to make
a guide for you guys so everyone can enjoy the art of archery.
-=Introduction
The art of archery is much harder than using guns. With the bow you need to
compensate, the arrows arc and the arrows are effected by wind. Most shots
within 20m are most times spot on, from 20 meters and onwards you need to
calculate the wind and how it is going to effect it.
-=The Bows
In theHunter: Call of the Wild there are three Compound bows, the RAZORBACK
LITE CB-60, the BEARCLAW LITE CB-60, and the HAWK EDGE CB-70.
-=RAZORBACK LITE CB-60
The RAZORBACK LITE CB-60 is the first Bow that you can unlock at €6000.
It is effective against small game and medium game. It is a great bow but
for bigger game I would recommend the HAWK EDGE CB-70.
-=BEARCLAW LITE CB-60
The BEARCLAW LITE CB-60 is a free DLC that you can download on Steam and it
costs €6000. The bow has an tactical skin and better accuracy than the
RAZORBACK LITE CB-60. It also weight 0.5kg/1 pound more than the razorback.
Like the RAZORBACK LITE CB-60 I would recommend the HAWK EDGE CB-70 for
bigger game.
-=HAWK EDGE CB-70
The HAWK EDGE CB-70 is the most expensive Compound bow, costing €48,000. The
bow has 70lb let off and with this it has more power than the other two making
it better for bigger game. With the extra power it also gains a flatter
trajectory.
-=The Arrows
There are three types of arrows for different game.
The integrity bonus with arrows is important for your total score.
-=300gr Arrow
This is a lightweight arrow and has the flattest trajectory of the 3.
Due to the wide tip it has almost 0 penetration and makes it ineffective
against medium/big game.
-=Recommended animals:
-=Red Fox
420gr Arrow
This is a medium arrow and has a quite flat trajectory.
This arrow is effective for almost all the animals in the game.
-=Recommended animals:
Coyote
Roe Deer
Fallow Deer
Blacktail Deer
Whitetail Deer
Wild Boar
Black Bear
Red Deer
-=600gr Arrow
This is a heavy arrow and has a quite steep trajectory in comparison
with the other 2. This is the arrow you want to use for big game since
it has more mass and thus deeper penetration.
-=Recommended animals:
Roosevelt Elk
Moose
Bison
-=The Wind
The wind is one thing that you have to take in account if you are an
archer. If you want to calculate the wind I recommend the wind prediction
skill (Stalker) and the windage perk (Rifles). Otherwise you can use the
particles in the wind and the sound as an indicator.
After around 20m the wind is going to have a real effect on the arrow.

Coyote Missions Guide with Hotspots:
------------------------------------
Written by EdenStarGazer
This is a simple guide with locations for spotting and harvesting coyotes for
the Vualez missions in-game. I enjoy the missions because they provide a bit
of challenge.
-=The 'Coyote Hunter' is Not You=-
First things first.
You are not the Coyote Hunter.
These little creatures love to hide in the rocks. Maybe they are looking for
animals stuck here. Whatever the reason, it's easy to hear their little feet
tripping over the rocks. But, more importantly, he is well aware of you long
before you are of him. And, he is hunting you. He follows hunters around...
perhaps because he's interested in the kill you may leave behind.
This makes him an easy target, if you just let him find you.
-=Coyote Spotting in Leviathan - Vualez #1=-
This little lake off of Balmont Lake feeds the only good source of coyotes into
Leviathan area.
* Start at the Outpost to the NE.
* Approach the rocky bank (B) headed towards the little lake You'll hear the coyote
in the rocky area.
* Stand in the open grassy area between patches of trees (green triangle trees)
* Don't worry about the coyotes hearing you. They hunt you.
* Squat & wait while using the distressed rabbit caller now & then.
After a brief wait you'll hear one. Just keep waiting and he'll walk out to you
and you can id him for the early Vaulez mission. Then you can shoot him for the
good payout. This can be repeated if failure by fast traveling back to the outpost
and returning. Best time of day is 5am.
-=The Big Coyote Tour=-
The Big Tour requires you to harvest a coyote in each of the five districts.
This is really rather easy, and you will probably have to kill 2-3 coyotes before
you can drag yourself away from these very nice hunting spots.
But, the mission completion is very lucrative.
These are the 5 locations I used:
* Willipeg Cave back entrance- Highton Peaks
* Deer Stand just south of the Layton Canyon Outpost in Nordon - Northern Ridge
* Upper Cheelah Outpost & Lake - Southern Ridge
* SE corner of Highlake @ hunting stand near point of interest - Lake District
(West of the NE Outpost in Roonachee along the bend in the Oregon Trail POI)
* South of the Outpost below Roonichee Lake, just before the track near hunting
stand.
The back entrance to the WIllipeg cave can be reached directly from the outpost.
It is marked with the waypoint below. It can also be accessed directly by diving
into the front of the cave on your ATV & driving out
(after picking up the secret artifact.)
-=Late Night With the Dogs - Vualez Main Mission=-
* Revealing "The Moonlight Coyote Field" in Leviathan
* This mission opened up a new location for coyotes for me.
Though I'd explored both entire maps, and climbed over the Leviathan Volcano
I'd not been in this
