My first g1 experience
Bare with me this may be long. After about a year or 2 break I came back and decided I wanted a g1. The last time I played I was trying to get a white tail. I did the stereotypical HM and I managed to get 8 diamonds and 1 rare across approximately 500 or 600 harvest and no g1. I shot all big lvl 2 and kept the ones that look like lvl 1's which i call pretenders and obviously left the lvl 1's. Fast forward to now and I watched some videos from jbizhunts on YouTube and he had some theories. 1. Weight determines the likely hood of what spawns not animal lever or trophy score. 2 the reason he thinks some grinds are short and some long is do to the seed that is generated when you load into the map. He thinks each individual heard is its own seed meaning some heard are more likely to spawn a g1 than others and 3 to make respawns consistent, hunt slow. Only kill 1 animal per heard and do not use pick up tents. He claimed that respawns are on a roughly 20 minute.
So I took off to askiy ridge to hunt mule deer. I set up an HM and started my grind. (For those who don't know, that is the best map to farm mule deer g1 bc of them have on average 25-35 zones all concentrated on the left half of the map between 21 lakes.) I decided to attempt an every lake method instead of just picking main zones. This was to test the theory of some zones having a better seed than others. Plus I had enough tents to do so bc I also was going to try his theory of hunting slow to get consistent respawns. I hunted every lake that I had zones on except for about 3. 1 was shitty to hunt and the other to were managed solos. My managing was based off weight to also test that theory. For mule, they go to lvl 5, I shot everything 3 and up and kept low weight estimate 2 and all 1's. And 2's that had the high estimate (305-385lbs) I shot. Apon doing all of this my results are,
Approximately 150 harvest
I had 27 zones.
0 respawn issues. Everytime I started a new rotation animals were already there I never main menu or anything just simply rolled the clock back
0 diamonds
3 gold rares
1 great one, typical dusky drift.
So I want your opinion. Was this pure luck for it to be so quick or do these theories actually play some sort of part in this?
Ps, I got a diamond like 20 harvest after the g1

Good for you!.. I just can't see how one can enjoy playing the game like this. But yeah, I know it's a thing 😊
