If you shoot a diamond black tail with that. 338 for quick killing animals, so you don't have to track bad shots as much. So, I'm kinda skeptical that you've never shot a diamond animal.ĭo you get a lot of perfect shots(100%,100%,100%)? Maybe, for example, you like the. You do realize that a diamond can end up being gold, silver, bronze, or nothing if you don't get a perfect shot on it right? Just because it says "Gold" doesn't mean it wasn't a diamond animal. These are just random encounters with no special method to encourage these chance encounters. and of course lost diamonds that end up being gold or silver with a bad shot. I'm in the 400-500 hour range and I have a handful of diamonds. Of course that killed the need zone because I'd already killed 2 off it before it came in but so what?ġ100 hours seems crazy to have not seen or taken a diamond POTENTIAL animal. I killed a diamond gemsbok that showed up on the second come back. Talking about a group of animals returning to a need zone after I shoot one. I once spotted three different 9-Legendary Cape Buffs in the same morning.ĭon't ignore the come backs.


I read in a previous post that there might be only one max level animal of a species on a map at any given time. observed that herd of Wildebeast 3 times and not spotted one) I'll go ahead and kill a couple of the herds lesser members and hope one comes forth with the next spawn.

Once I'm fairly certain a herd does not have an animal of diamond potential in it (i.e. I avoid making 3 bars of noise entirely and go to a single bar when I'm within 100-150m of a need zone. I don't hunt an area the same day I used an ATV in it.

I've stumbled upon them through blind luck, spotted them from a distance and waylaid them on another day. Diamonds are extremely rare, extremely sensitive to noise and smell, make few vocals and are not as responsive to calls as their kinfolk.
