I regret that I never kept a current, up to date log of my tames. My mind isn't very good with short-term memory, so I know there will be details I've mixed up or left out. Which tames I've felt nervous on, which ones I just knew would happen and didn't fumble at all... So, since Shade has so few mounts collected, I figured I would track some major achievements in the mount intustry while my mind is still fresh on my latest achievements. I've listed everything I can do solo... if I get a mount I can get through a raid or heroic group, that will be brought up and marked, but I won't be striving for it, personally. Just silently praying.

Re: Hunting Journal: Mounts (Target Marked: TLPD!)
Well. Yesterday I managed to snag a White Hawkstrider. And, I'm used to doing a weekly Kara run and daily instance runs. Occasionally, I get around to Hyjal and MF dailies... But most of the time, I spend afk from my laptop with the volume somewhat on while going about my day. Hear a sound, check back... I'll either be dead or blessed with a rare spawn, depending on how well I manage to get off of the ground.
Going into my first TLPD so-called camp, I decided to research a little bit. Proven and unproven theories abound, but I'll take heart in knowing four spawn points. I'll just pick between the first two, the only two I have memorized (sorta) and will pray that a Wish scenario will come true. With the Northrend spawn timers shortened and a one-in-four chance to get lucky... well. Who knows.
I did get pushed off of one spawn point earlier, though. The downside of being on a PvP server and never PvPing is that I don't have the equipment to stand up for myself against anyone who's prepared. Sure, I can Arcane Shot a shaman to death... then Kill Shot him when he ankhs... Damn fish thieves... But I don't like a 117k to 143k health odds, hunter against hunter. But that spot seems over populated anyway. There was an equally decked out shadow priest landing there earlier as well, despite the fact that I was already there. At least it was a part of my faction.
So now, I'm on the side of a cliff. With mail in my mailbox. I probably won't move much tomorrow, but I won't be on constantly, either. WoW eats up too much nets when I have other things to do which are a bit more important. So, hopefully TLPD will drop in on me at an opportune time. If not... at least I have fish.

Re: Hunting Journal: Mounts (Target Marked: TLPD!)
<3 you all. Thank you and I'll definitely take a look!
The night before:
Had that same priest whisper me when I logged on. "I've been camping here for two weeks. I left that spot, and you just happened to be on my spot when I got back", more or less. Uh... Yeah... Logging out and leaving are two different things .-. I personally thought it's still rude to fly in like that. But when I said I didn't want any hard feelings over my opinion and that I had taken to camping a different spawn point anyway, it never answered. Then I recalled that, in my experience, most priests are really stuffy and uptight. Across all servers, all realms, all factions... The druids need to share their special herbs with the priest class!
Left that priest alone. Had another priest chirping away in general every 20 minutes asking if anyone had seen the TLPD... Oh boy. The druids shared too much with this one, it seems. It found me and started flying around me o.o Then proceeded to whisper me, perosnally, every 20-30 minutes. When I pointed out that if something had spawned and I had killed it or found it dead, I would have told him. I think Priest 2 took that one personally. .-. I just don't seem to be able to doing all that well in the TLPD Persons Department.
No mount, but my bf kept me entertained with watching Netflix. I taught him how to play backgammon and he kicked my ass from the first game to the last. At least I have a winning streak in Uno and checkers.
Today:
Logged on an hour before the last time I thought the raid tonight would take place. Turns out that the hour was moved down, but a priest (a third one!) was camping my spot. I chillaxed there for a minute while I fixed up my laptop, went to get Karma from the stables for a Trollric (sounds like something illegal every time I say that), and am going to spend most of this early evening not camping the mount due to our guild group struggling with reg Rag. Gonna get myself more fishies (some of them -did- freeze! But that just kept them good in my bags for the week), and thaw the rest out in Uldum. Feasts for all! Gotta take care of my raid before my personal collection. :3
Doing an Anzu, Blue Proto, and Kara runs since I have an hour more than I thought I would, as well.
Anzu kills: 3
Blue Proto Drake kills: 3
Attumen kills: 3
Between actually having a raiding guild now and my desire to try and run these two heroics once a day and Kara once a week (Aah! I haven't done that yet!) I just realized that I won't be able to do much of a full camp. Though next week, I'll have the mid to latter part of the week to myself. Park my hunter over a spawn point and leave WoW running in the background somewhere. But after that, I'll only be able to do a semi-camp. Baah.
That and I really want to finish Oracle dailies (3-4 days to get revered), and keep working on Molten Front. Damn my desire to -do- things to get my mounts! Damn it all! xD
...
Live update pre-post: My raid won't be going. Because it's an optional night, only four of us showed up. We all got lots of love from our raid leader, but he's too dispirited by the prospect of pugging six people to bother trying. I'll still probably keep the night to myself to get all of the above-mentioned done. Oracle dailies with a rep buff! Thank you WoW 7 Anniversary!

Re: Hunting Journal: Mounts (Target Marked: TLPD!)
GL to yah! Your best bet is if your going to camp, camp right on a spawn point especially if your going to be tabbed or away from the keyboard. This way if he spawns he wont be flying off cause he'll tag you and continue to try and beat on you until you get back 
Worked great for me 
Getting to know the campers does help but sometimes they suck so just try to be friendly but yes people will stack on you.. sometimes it sucks so badly while other times it gets you to move to the right spawn point. Just try not to stress out and have fun The journey is an adventure!
