Today is hunting Monday, so I have put on my camouflage clothes, cleaned my guns and headed to Roonache Heights. Today I have a goal to kill only male animals, I read in a forum that having good shots and killing only male animals increases the probability of a legendary animal appearing and thus, increases the chance of getting a Diamond trophy. Maybe it's all a lie, but the challenge of respecting the sex of the animal seems interesting to me.

Hoy es lunes de cacería, así que me he puesto mi ropa camuflada, he limpiado mis armas y me he dirigido a los Altos de Roonache. Hoy tengo como meta matar solo animales machos, leí en un foro que tener buenos tiros y matar solo animales machos aumenta la probabilidad de que aparezca un animal legendario y de ese modo, aumenta la posibilidad de conseguir un trofeo Diamante. Tal vez todo es mentira, pero el reto de respetar el sexo del animal me parece interesante.
It is still dark and I have plotted my course to the north of this area, look at this beautiful view. My faithful companion Rasputin accompanies me and he is very happy to see me.
We were walking for about 30 minutes and we never saw or heard anything, no animals, it seemed very strange to me. I stopped at the border with Mount Kraken because I could see in the distance some white-tailed deer eating. They were females so I was not interested in them, however it is good to discover that feeder for future explorations.
Very close to that feeder was another moose feeder, I could see an adult buck with big antlers, I slowly approached, crouching down so he wouldn't see me, and using the bushes as a hiding place, but he kept moving and moving away. I lost sight of him, I got up to see if I could see him in the distance and I did not find him, I continued on my way and the female white-tailed deer did not stop bothering me with their warning calls.

Sigue siendo de noche y he trazado mi rumbo hacia el norte de esta zona, miren esta vista hermosa. Mi fiel compañero Rasputin me acompaña y esta muy contento de verme.
Estuvimos caminando unos 30 minutos y nunca vimos ni oímos nada, ningún animal, me pareció muy raro. Me detuve en la frontera con el Monte Kraken porque pude ver a la distancia algunos ciervos de cola blanca comiendo. Eran hembras así que no me interesé por ellas, sin embargo es bueno descubrir ese comedero para futuras exploraciones.
Muy cerca de ese comedero estaba otro comedero de alces, pude ver un macho adulto con grandes cuernos, me fui acercando lentamente, agachado para que no me vea, y utilizando los arbustos como escondite, pero él seguía moviéndose y alejándose. Lo perdí de vista, me levanté para ver si lo veía a la distancia y no lo encontré, seguí mi camino y los ciervos de cola blanca hembra no dejaban de molestar con sus llamadas de advertencias.
I heard a turkey in the distance and I went to see if I could hunt it, when I got closer I could see that it was running away, wow, from more than 100 meters away it detected me, the truth is that it is very difficult for me to hunt turkeys. The thing is that in the distance I could see a very quiet moose very similar to the one I had lost sight of before, I think it was the same one, so I focused on him. I got a little closer and shot it trying to hit a vital organ, I needed to hit a lung.

Escuche un pavo a lo lejos y fui a ver si lograba cazarlo, al acercarme pude notar que estaba huyendo, wow, desde más de 100 metros de distancia me detectó, la verdad es que se me hace muy difícil cazar pavos. La cosa es que a lo lejos pude ver un alce muy tranquilo muy similar al que había perdido de vista anteriormente, creo que era el mismo, así que me concentré en él. Me acerqué un poco más y le disparé tratando de darle en un órgano vital, precisaba darle en un pulmón.
The pool of blood on the ground indicated to me that I hit a vital organ, I was about to give the order to Rasputin to follow the blood trail when I heard another elk very close, so I lay down, I heard his footsteps quite close. I crouched down and saw him about 10 yards away, I got a little nervous because he was a very big buck with giant antlers. I took out my rifle and lowered the scope so I could aim at close range, I could see him with total clarity, I crouched down, he was in an aggressive tone but he had not seen me yet, he was looking for me, I shot him in the belly trying to affect some vital organ, he ran fast and I lost sight of him, I got up and reloaded my rifle just in case.
I gave the order to Rasputin to follow the trail I had in range while I marked the place to go back and follow the trail of the other elk I had just shot, I had also hit him in a vital organ. We went in search of one of them and a few meters away we found the two moose, very close to each other, when this happens I love it because there is no need to go back to the initial place to look for the trail.

El charco de sangre en el suelo me indicó que le di en un órgano vital, estaba a punto de darle la orden a Rasputín de seguir el rastro de sangre cuando escuché otro alce muy cerca, así que me acosté, escuchaba sus pasos bastante cerca. Me agaché y lo vi a unos 10 metros, me puse algo nervioso porque era un macho muy grande con unos cuernos gigantes. Saqué mi rifle y le bajé la mira para poder apuntar a corta distancia, pude verlo con total claridad, me agaché, él estaba en tono agresivo pero todavía no me había visto, me estaba buscando, yo le disparé a la barriga intentando afectarle algún órgano vital, él corrió velozmente y lo perdí de vista, me levanté y recargué mi rifle por si acaso.
Le di la orden a Rasputín seguir el rastro que tenía al alcance mientras marcaba el lugar para regresar y seguir el rastro del otro alce que acababa de disparar, también le había dado en un órgano vital. Fuimos en busca de uno de ellos y a unos pocos metros encontramos los dos alces, muy cerca el uno del otro, cuando esto sucede me encanta porque no hace falta regresar al lugar inicial para buscar el rastro.
One of them gave me a silver trophy, with a weight of 492 kg, I was able to hit him in the right lung. The other elk had a weight of 534 Kg, the shot pierced his liver, stomach and intestines, an excellent shot, his antlers are beautiful.

Uno de ellos me dio un trofeo de plata, con un peso de 492 Kg, pude darle en el pulmón derecho. El otro alce tenía un peso de 534 Kg, el tiro le perforó el hígado, estómago e intestinos, un tiro excelente, su cornamenta es hermosa.
After this, I spent a long time at a wild turkey feeder, at one point several arrived but I could not see them, I only heard their footsteps, I moved a little to see some and I only saw the shadows on the ground because they flew away, I was very sorry, I had been waiting for them for a long time. Then I went to an elevated observation post, I spent many minutes waiting to see if any animal came across and I didn't see any, I only heard some wild turkeys in the distance that I preferred to ignore.
For today I will leave my hunt until here, as I have been playing for many hours, even though I have only been able to hunt a couple of animals, they have been two moose males that have given me good trophies, and I have fulfilled today's challenge. See you in a next episode of this wonderful game The Hunter Call of the Wild.

Después de esto, estuve largo rato en un comedero de pavos salvajes, en un momento llegaron varios pero no lograba verlos, solo escuchaba sus pasos, me moví un poco para poder ver alguno y solo vi las sombras en el suelo porque echaron a volar, me lamenté mucho, ya tenía un buen rato esperando por ellos. Luego me fui a un puesto de observación elevado, pasé muchos minutos esperando a ver si se atravesaba algún animal y no vi ninguno, solo escuchaba algunos pavos salvajes a lo lejos que preferí ignorar.
Por hoy dejaré mi cacería hasta aquí, ya que llevo muchas horas de juego, a pesar de que solo he podido cazar un par de animales, han sido dos machos de alces que me han dado buenos trofeos, y he cumplido con el desafío de hoy. Nos vemos en un próximo episodio de este maravilloso juego The Hunter Call of the Wild.
