I finally hit level 60.  
  
I didn't imagine that I would get so into this game when I was stumbling through Hirschfelden, endlessly tracking bisons shot with my .243.

By now I've spent around 220 hours in the game. It took me an embarrasingly long time to get the hang of it. I spent a lot of time in Hirschfelden before caving in and buying a couple of DLCs. And oh man, was there a difference going from Hirschfelden to Silver Ridge Peaks.

I've played on Hirschfelden, Layton Lake, Silver Rigde Peaks, Yukon Valley, Emerald Coast, Revontuli Coast, and a little bit on Sundarpatan. I've had good times in all of the maps, but I think Revontuli might be my favorite so far. I enjoyed Emerald Coast plenty too.  
  
As far as accomplishments go, I've gotten a few diamonds, but not really an excessive amount:  
\* Blacktail deer  
\* Grizzly bear  
\* Kangaroo  
\* Merriam turkey  
\* Fallow deer  
\* Western capercaillie  
\* Black grouse  
\* Banteng

It took a damn while before I landed my first diamond. I've gotten trolled my fair share as well.

I've sniped a couple of rare furs as well. Just to brag, I've attached my favourites as images.

I have got to make a complaint though -I searched far and wide for a leucistic kangaroo for that damned mission on Emerald Coast. When I finally landed it, the quest just completed without any remarkable reward or even any dialogue. I've heard some fuzz about the multi mount mission rewards in Peru, and I do get the frustration regarding the mission difficulty, but that said, it's a really nice feeling when hard work is rewarded.

I've really enjoyed sinking hours in this game, and I can't wait to continue doing so. I'd like to thank the people of this subreddit for the fun reads and all the envy-inducing trophy posts. Also, a big thank you to whoever made the COTW companion app!

Happy hunting, and let me know if there are any other maps that I shouldn't miss out on!

Level 60 - What a ride
