Unfortunately without dlc i dont have access to waterfowl open blind, so how do you hunt without it.

I am new to grinding aand started the gray wolf g1 grind. I decided to try stacking diamonds but idk how many I need to stack for it to be most effective

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

So I’m trying for the diamond turkey for the achievement. I’m at about 250ish (roughly) harvests with 34 of them since I started tracking last night, I’m only taking the male birds, managing my hunting pressure so it never gets above medium pressure and even that’s rare, and hunting on SRP. I’ve never seen a level 3 but have seen a decent amount of level 2s with a 20-24 lbs est weight, does anyone have any tips on how to get a diamond or is it just going to be a long grind?
I saw somewhere that there is a max number of diamonds the map can have, idk if this is true or not if so do I need to go try and kill some diamonds of another type to “free up” the spot or is it that I just don’t have enough harvests yet to get one to spawn? I know its rng and there isn’t a magic “kill x birds and a diamond will spawn” but it feels like I should have gotten a spawn by now. Any help/tips would be appreciated, including if there is a better map to try it on.

So I have a friend that I found a diamond Whitetail and got him to shoot it on multiplayer and I found a diamond mule deer earlier today and asked him if he would like it. It is potentially a personal best scoring for myself. He could not get on right when I found him which that’s understandable but then he kept me on the hook all day saying he was almost home and then ghosted me and then I finally asked him again if he wanted it, he said he was going to bed because he had to go wake up early. I want gone and back into rotation. Should I shoot it and possibly get my personal best meal dear diamond or just let him wait and just hold up my spawns. I do have 40 something diamonds meal deer in my lodge of a lodge full of them just have a dilemma of if I should shoot it or just be a pal and wait until he has convenience
