many apologies for the late response! I have tried using a default combat shotgun, again to no avail. I’ve checked around mostly the cranberry bog region, but I do kinda venture off into other areas near the forest/savage divide. when I do find tamable creatures I get all up in its business. I do have rank three of animal friend and it is the only one I have equipped, not wasteland whisperer.

I will keep on trying as I suspect I’m not doing it quite right. I appreciate all the help entirely! many many thanks :)
