and another one spawned in his place right when i went over to try and loot it 
Cloned. went back. killed again. cloned, went back, corpse vanished. It took about an hour too. But the method works, just stand 72m away from him...i didn't even go prone.

Can you even hit at 72m? Pretty sure 64m is the max range of any ranged weapon.
You gotta think is it worth 1hr of your life and 2 clones? You could have killed 4 Canyons and probably a few juviesin the same time and not cloned once.

actually generally speaking you can fire from 67 meters(due to lag issues)out but as krayts tend to wander 10-15m all the time firing from extreme range eventually causes you to miss or you to fire a standard shot (which insta aggros the krayt).

I've seen what he is saying. I've been told its from the size of the creature. You're range finder says 72 meters, but it shows an accuracy modifier. You may be 72 meters from the business end and only 54 meters from the recycling end....

yes, it was 72 meters. And I only did it because I wanted to see if it would work. I could get up to 67m away from a juvi before it said I was too far away to attack. The giant was lying down, facing away from me. So when I attacked he would just get up and lay down again.
My current template doesn't allow me to tank, and none of my friends were on, so I decided to try it by myself.

I was soloing my first juvi ever the other night on Gorath and it was stolen by a couple of idiots who took it down in a short amount of time. Pissed me off so I moved to hunt another one when it happened again. Haven't been back since.
