Once you have completed the story mission in sequence 4 – Hunting Lessons, you will be able to track, trap, hunt, kill and skin animals. You will see many of these animals wandering around as you explore the frontier and by killing and skinning then you will obtain furs and other animal products that can be sold to earn a little money.
Once you have killed and skinned a few animals you will be invited to join the Hunters Society . There are a number of Hunter’s Society side-missions and challenges to engage in.
The Hunting Society side-Missions¶
To begin the Hunter’s Society side-missions you must first locate one of the hunting lodges hidden away in the frontier. Although the game indicates plural when it talks about the lodges, I was only able to find one. It is found in a fairly remote location in Black Creek .
Here is where you can find it:
Black Creek – Look at your hunting map. This lodge is located at the Eastern end of the Black Creek hunting region, close to where the Kanien:keh, Diamond Basin and Black Creek boundaries meet.
Mission 1: The Man-eater¶
You will find this bear on the south part of the western side of the Packanack region. Here you will find a green circle . Enter this and examine the clues, once you find a clue, the search area will narrow. Once you have examined the third clue, you will have located a cave.
Mission 2: Feline Feet¶
You will find this bobcat in the northern part of the Black Creek region, just to the north-west of Fort Duquesne. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you have examined the clue, the bobcat will appear behind you and run off.
Mission 3: The Patriarch¶
You will find this deer buck in the south-eastern part of the Kanien:keh region. Here you will find a green circle . Enter this and examine the clues, once you have examined the clue, you will need to enter eagle vision to find the golden deer . This is your target.
Mission 4: The Pack Leader¶
You will find the alpha wolf in the southern part of the Black Creek hunting region, directly to the south of Fort Duquesne. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and a pack of wolves will appear. In order to find the boss , kill three of the wolves in the area. This will lure out the alpha wolf .
Mission 5: Acute Cat¶
You will find this deer buck in the Eastern part of the Kanien:keh region,just to the East of the village. Work your way to the top of the cliffs overlooking the river here. Work your way along the paths until you reach the objective marker.
Mission 6: The Elk Bachelor¶
You will find this Elk at the south-eastern end of the large lake in the Valley Forge hunting region. Here you will find a green circle . Enter the circle area and activate eagle vision to identify the golden target . Approach it and kill the elk .
