Red Chin hunting

[Umanyar]

Ive heard its still overrun with bots, but I have also heard that there is a way to beat them. Either way, whats the best way to hunt them?

Put up five traps, four on the corners of a 3x3 area and one in the middle (or any arrangement, but within a 3x3 square and reasonably spread out). It's important to move on top of a trap before retrieving it. Don't just click "check", first click "move here" and click "check" when you've started moving.

 

Instead of the typical arrangement, you can put four traps around a single chin spawn, try to catch that one spawn and if you don't kill it with a long-ranged weapon and wait for the next spawn.

 

As always, hunter familiars (arctic bear is only a little way off from your current summoning level), camouflage and scentless potions will increase catch rates, though the potions may not be worth it.
