I saw a level 3 cinnamon teal, set up some decoys where he was and a pop up blind(idk the actual name) two groups of teal showed up including my level 3 but they all bunched together. I shot into the bunch and hit the 3, it didn’t drop so I told the dog to track it three different times but it keeps taking me to different places then losing the trail. The bird disappeared.

Update, I found it in a bush, the dog couldn’t find it but, i can’t claim it, the harvest screen pops up just long enough to see diamond but then disappears, which is somehow worse. The dog was no help at all

Update 2, I freakin got it!!!! It took some serious button spamming but I somehow managed to tax it

Some species can make diamond without it being a max level animal right? Like a lvl 2 whitetail can be a diamond, is it the same for all species or just certain ones?

I like to have rifles to cover every class, I love the 22 ar, it’s in almost all my load outs. Maps that have class 9 animals I use the 7mm malmer, other than that I love the .308 ar but I’ve had troubles picking a good rifle for class 2-4. Something with low recoil but still decent penetration, I’ve been using the 223 ar but I don’t love the penetration on it
