—In-game Description

Rancho del Arroyo is situated in in Mexico, and is a mostly desert, arid, semi-arid reserve typical of the Sonoran Desert habitat of the region of Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico. The warden of the reserve is Salvador Soto Muñoz.

## Huntable Animals

Two of the species are unique, they are Rio Grande turkey and antelope jackrabbit. Ring-necked pheasant was also unique before it was filled on several maps in the end of 2022. Also Mexican bobcat is semi-unique – it is a separate ingame unit but is identical to bobcat of New England Mountains.

## Weapon

This reserve include the Couso Model 1897 pump-action shotgun, a 16-gauge shotgun similar to the Cacciatore 12G. It's slightly weaker, holds one less round, and has simpler iron sights but is a decent shotgun to use if one doesn't have the shotgun score to purchase the 12-gauge.

After completing a story mission, the Couso Model 1897 Soldado pump-action shotgun is available. You will find an old shotgun in the Hacienda during a mission, which will be refurbished and given to you.
