Status Update | theHunter

Hi all!

Welcome to our first “proper” Status Update of 2019! We of course had some information out last week, but this is the first one in our traditional format.

We’ve starting slipping some real-world hunting footage into our Status Updates of late, and hopefully an opportunity to learn from someone else’s mistake (this kind of mistake it’s generally safer for someone else to do the learning for you!).

Ptarmigan Competitions Are Here!

Big thanks to Andhii for helping us put together this exciting bundle of Ptarmigan competitions. The first of these new competitions will go live today; and then continue to be rolled out, one every other day, over the next week. In conjunction with this we’ll also have all Ptarmigan types as our free species this week.

Keep your eyes open for several other new species receiving competition packs in the coming weeks!

Free Species Rotation

As per above, this week’s free rotation is all about Ptarmigan of all types, so our guests are welcome to get out there and get competitive!

New Schedule for Sales

A special entry regarding sales today (which coincidentally are ALSO all about Ptarmigan!). From today all sales will be running Wednesday through to Monday, so be sure to take a peek at our sales section of our store page a little earlier from now on.
