Using a more powerful weapon or landing more hits than the animal class allows will always result in less than 100% trophy integrity.You can see animals up to about 450m (492 yards) away, may differ depending on your settings and your location (more difference in terrain height compared to the animal increases the distance).When the perk is active don't forget to adjust the distance accordingly before shooting. The distance in the middle is the default zero. For rifles you will be able to choose between 75/150/300m, for bows between 20/40/60m. It allows you to choose the zeroing distance of your weapons.

One of the most useful perks is the zeroing perk.

You don't have a range finder? The position of spotted animals is shown on the map, put a marker on it to know the distance.

The distance to an animal is important to know for accurate shots, certainly if long range.

If you scare an animal it will run for about 150-200m and then it will likely go in the same direction it was going before.

Focus on male tracks and calls (blue icon = male, pink icon = female), they give you the best scores.

They are often located around water and fields. You get xp for discovering one and it will stay marked on the map. So look out for them, they are time based.

Animal population is the largest around need zones.

Try shooting the highest scoring animal first and take in mind the difficulty when calling an animal.

Spot animals to know their difficulty and estimate their score, you need to unlock the approriate skill for this.

Don't waste in-game money on building hunting structures in the beginning, focus on buying callers, better rifles and an improved scope first.

Running on roads makes less noise than running through vegetation. You may still spot low scoring animals but trophy animals will be gone before you know.

Avoid running unless travelling between locations.

Hide next to trees or in bushes to be less visible.

Watch the wind direction, your noise and your visibility to make sure you don't scare animals away.

Go to lookout points to reveal outposts and other points on the map.

However it does require a playstyle unlike any other game. This is one of my favorite online games out there due to its unpredictable nature, you never know what you're gonna run into next.
