How to hunt

[yune2]

I was playing the mod when I came across a group of boars. So I clicked and them and clicked the hunt option, and pretty soon I appeared in the middle of a battle. I knew that I was supposed to fight the animals or something so I decided to look for them. I rode around the entire map several times but I couldn't find any animals at all! Is this supposed to happen, or am I doing something wrong?

Well, you need see how many animals have that party. If party have few animals it can take some time meet they in map.
In hunt system - animals dont attack you, you have hunt them.

There was about 18 boar. Seriously, I've spent about ten minutes riding around the whole scene looking for anything moving, but nothing happens!

You'll find them, boars are quite small and hard to see, maybe try finding a map without trees would be helpful?

The animals tend to break and run when you start to close in on them; try riding to the highest point in the map to spot a group of animals, then figure the best way to kill as many as possible before they bolt.

Once they have started to flee in all directions, unless you have a spirited paraveradus or something, you are NOT catching them, so just end it and try again.

I hunt on foot with a bow, you  just need to be patient, sooner or later theyll do something stupid and let you shoot them

Thanks for the help everyone! After several minutes of standing on top of a lump of ground and scanning the entire scene, I finally found some boars! Thanks.

I like hunting... the only odd thing is all the animals make horse noises when they die...

One thing you can so is keep resetting the hunt going back to the menu until they spawn in a group, much easier to kill then, they always return to a group formation after scattering to easier to spot.

they still do? 
well, does anyone know a tweak how to turn off the noises?
in fact e.g. roe deer dont make nearly any noises at all when you kill them or wound them with an arrow, so it´s
a) more realistic, especially when roe deer or boar sound like horses (totally immersion breaking)
b) less annoying

an advice how to turn them off would be much appreciated.
thanx.

If I recall, the horse noises for animals are unfortunately hardcoded.

If you have a hard time finding game, leave, let the herd move a bit, then hunt again.  Sometimes the whole herd will appear at once, so if you're on horseback with a spear, you could kill them all.  I hardly ever do that, though, because I'm worried about overhunting.  Sure, herds seem to randomly generate, especially around Goutodin and Alt Clut, but whereas in the early game it's not uncommon to find twenty or so deer in a herd, later on, you'll be lucky to find ten or more.

thanx if so...
