Hornbills

Finally get a hunt that is a challenge and because of the crybabies saying it was too hard Glu dumbs it down to a 10 second hunt.
You have those that cry about when the next hunt will come out and then there are the diehards looking for more challenging hunts...
Say What??

    I can see why Glu changed the hornbill hunt. People playing on smaller devices would find it a lot harder than people playing on larger devices. Now when I play the hornbill hunt I try to see how many kills I can get before the hunt ends. My high is 17 kills.

    Btw Eli, welcome back. You were missed on the forums the last few days.

    I am trying for the best time to complete hunt. I am down to 6 seconds...with FB just keep the trigger pulled and it becomes rapid fire...I should try and keep track of the # of kills.

    Thanks Shep. My son blasted through my data usage so I wasn't able to play the game or get on the forum. I feel like I missed a lot :)

    It was a fun trip up in the mountains.... Did get some bad news when I arrived: my brother may have cancer. Then on Sa****ay my wife and son fell in the water when the fishing boat they were in tipped over. My son, who is 6, had a life jacket but my wife did not, but thank God all was well. Very trrrifying sitting on the shore and there is nothing you can do.

    Thanks guys. My brother is headed to LA right now to get an expert opinion, and if it is, start treatment.

    You're probably right, but I play quite a bit on an iPod Touch 5...very small screen. Hornbills on that device are (were) very hard to see, but I enjoyed the challenge. It had been quite a while since I had last had a "HUNT FAILED" msg other than trying to fill bounties. Now, it's so easy, there is no challenge at all. Unfortunate that they changed it. Can't speak for those who whined, but I was not one of them.

    I might not have expressed it in those words, but I agree with the sentiment. I (as Sheppeck commented) understand that it would have been difficult on a tiny screen. Now it takes longer to swap weapons than it does to complete the hunt; it used to be my favorite. I wonder why Glu didn't just add a few birds, rather than taking away the distant ones. I notice also that 'near enough is good enough' with the Hornbills. A shot fired in their general direction brings them down, even from an assault rifle. Oh, well, back to trying to provoke dozy tigers into a mass attack.

    ^Im glad someone else noticed how incredibly easy the hornbill hunt is. Bounderby, you're 100% correct about only needing to aim in their general direction. Its so much different from all other hunts, I wonder if they meant to make it that way?

    Even easy with an assault rifle...they make a cute little squeak when you kill them...

    That was possible before :-) The Plisskin Fang with open sights gave me just enough magnification on my Android tablet to find and hit the little sods. Now I don't even need to hit them. I think the effect of a projectile passing within a couple of feet scares them out of their feathers and they freeze to death. That's my best guess, anyway.

    For those of us who want a challenge, maybe we can request a slingshot and a bag of marbles!!! I would pay a million hunter bucks for it. Or maybe a boomerang?

    They'd probably get sued by angry birds if they put a sling shot on here lol

    Slingshot is overkill. The level 1 Clayton Sportsman pistol with open sights takes these fragile birds.
