Accessibility

Here are some tips that might facilitate the game for new players, or players with hearing or seeing impairment.

## Launcher Settings

* There is a setting called "Scene complexity".
	+ If you set this to low, there is less vegetation which can help with the vision.
	+ The downside is that you will only see animals and other players up to 220 meters, while "high" would move that distance to 320 meters.
	+ More details  here

## In-Game Settings

* Turn up the volume all the way.
* There is a setting at the bottom of the "Gameplay" options called "Disable flock sounds". Unless you are hunting  waterfowl, consider to activate this option to turn off the flock sounds and thus reduce "side noises".
* You can pick you own tracking color. The color selector is in Options - Gameplay.
	+ The default red might not suit you.
	+ Pick a color that you think you will see well in all environments. Turquoise for example works well for all maps.
* When you hunt in Whiterime Ridge, consider playing during very early or very late hours to reduce the sun glare. Tracks are much easier to see during these times.

## Equipment

* There are  sunglasses available in the store that can help increase visibility at times. 😎
	+ Once equipped, you can press Z (default key) to activate/deactivate them.
	+ Some players use the yellow glasses practically permanently.
* Some deployable items are small and you might not find them easily anymore once placed.
	+ Press and hold the button to interact with this item. This will highlight the item.
	+ For example, press B to highlight an  e-caller.

## Player Behavior

* After shooting an animal, point with the binoculars where you saw the animal disappear, then click the mouse. This will place a red dot on the map.
	+ Do not underestimate this feature. The landscape might look easy to remember when looking through a scope, but this is due to less vegetation being shown. Once you get to the actual place, the area will look different and you might not recognize it.
* After shooting an animal, keep holding the mouse button to keep the weapon focused on the animal. This can help you see where it runs.
	+ If you release the button, the reload animation might shake things up.
	+ Alternatively, you can turn off auto-reload in the options inside the game.
* Where is my  dog?
	+ Press V (default key) to interact with, but also to highlight your dog. As long as you keep holding it, the dog will have an outline.
	+ Get a  dog GPS to show the dog's position permanently on your HunterMate.
* Use the Pause function
	+ Sometimes things get very busy and you might feel a sense of stress from what you should do next.
	+ Get used to pause the game in such a situation. Take your time to think what you should do next, what animal you should focus on, what buttons to press, etc.
	+ The pause function is only possible in single player though.
Hunting Tactics Shooting

*Shooting the animal*

The shot must be well prepared. Search a good place where you can stay undetected. Avoid hasty shots. A good  spotting skill  will support you picking the right animal if there are severals. Wait until the animal of your choice has come close enough for a good shot, or until you can safely hit a vital from the side. It is not always possible to set up an ambush, or to move away on time. Stay alert for other animals (e.g. from a group) that might have come very close to your lure, and make sure to go for a shot before one of these could spook and flush everything around them.
Buying Guide

With the amount of available weapons and equipment it is not easy to decide what to spend your em$ or gm$ on.

Use this guide to help you pick and choose what might be best suited to your hunting style

```

```

## What Rifle Should I Buy?

There are many weapons to choose from, but the choice is especially difficult when it comes to  Rifles.

Consider the following criteria when selecting a new rifle:

## Stand Hunting

Many and one hunter enjoys a quiet time in the stand waiting for animals to pass by. Be ready when they come.

## Traditional Hunting

Warp back into a time where the clothes were made of leather and fabric, and the weapons of wood. The according equipment is available.

## Bow Hunting

Bow hunters claim to be their own guild. Get your hands around the many magnificent bows, and anything else that will be useful for those close bow kills.

## Baiting

Place your baiting stations right into the woods and fields where an abundance of your prey of desire can be found. In combination with a strategic stand placement, you can build a deadly trap.

## Waterfowling

Lure those birds down from the skies and be ready for when they come in. Increase your chances by setting your place up with the right equipment.

## Competitive Hunting

You like a competitive style and are constantly on your toes to go after every possible trophy animal? Do not miss a good competition rank due to the lack of the according tools and toys. The many ongoing competitions require you to be fully packed and ready for every animal in the hunting reserve you are in.

## Long Range Shooting

If you enjoy those really long shots, get the best possible equipment available. That's what the pros do after all.
Hirschfelden

Season: Fall
Inspired by: German farmlands
Addition to game: April 2012
Hirschfelden is the first map which bases on a European environment. It is made up of mixed woodlands, farmlands, clearcuts, open meadows and pine thickets. There are also several rivers and/or creeks as well as lakes. The two farmyards in the reserve are quite interesting to explore.

## Huntable Species

Red DeerFallow DeerWild BoarRoe DeerRed FoxCanada GooseWood GrousePheasant
## Lodges

**Rittersteinhütte**

Situated in the rather wild, western part of Hirschfelden, this lodge has been the starting point of hunting expeditions for as long as anyone can remember. Easy access to both deep forests and expansive fields makes this one of the best areas in which to find the elusive Roe Deer.

**Müllerwaldhütte**

Compared to Rittersteinhütte, Müllerwald is a fairly recent addition to Hirschfelden. Established in 1965 by an eccentric brewer it is now finally open to the public. With easy access to some of the largest fields in Hirschfelden this area is sometimes referred to as Pheasant Paradise...

## Animal Map

This is a community made map and is based on players' experience in the game. It is a simple attempt to display where animals  spawn in this reserve, and NOT where you might find them during a hunting session. The map shows where you can expect to find the animals in maybe 80% of your hunts right after you start the game. The animals can also appear in other places, but they will with less frequency.

The animals are shown on the map in clusters. This approach does not do the game perfect justice, but the map becomes easy to understand. Imagine a circle around each cluster and you will get an idea about their predominant spawning locations.
.405 Lever Action Rifle

## Description

Based off of the rifle that former American President Theodore Roosevelt himself considered his "Medicine Gun" as well as being one of the most manufactured rifles by the Russian Empire, this rifle packs a seriously mean punch. This rifle is very efficient when hunting larger game and is considered a must have by many veterans when out on the hunting safari.

## Shared Skill and Rank

All variations of this weapon share their Shooting Skill and their  Rank. This means that if you buy a variation, you will immediately have the shooting skill that you build with your previously owned versions. The harvests of all variations are added up to the according Hunter Score ranks.

Ground Blind

## Overview

This page showcases and explains the Ground Blind which was added on the 9th of March 2011. Two more ground blinds have been released with the same functionality, including the Sneaky 3D Winter Camo (July 22, 2013 [1]) and Sneaky 3D Fall Forest Camo Groundblind (Sept 19, 2013 [2]).

The Ground Blind is a square hut-like tent with springy rods holding it up creating a more hidden position for the hunter when inside. Bow hunters are particularly fond of the Ground Blind as it creates a position of closeness to the animal which can otherwise be tricky to obtain.

## Types

The Sneaky 3D Camo ground blinds have some advantage in the Visual and Sound Reduction over the standard Green ground blind.

## Correct Use

**For a successful set up the following criteria need to be met:**

* A ground area which is largely flat and unobstructed by objects

To use, equip with the "0"-key, go up to a correct area and click Mouse 1 (left mouse button by default) and you will automatically end up inside.

While the set up is instant, the sound played is audible by surrounding animals in about a 100m (350ft) radius. Camouflage factor is about equal to a Tower with decreased camouflage the closer the animal gets.

It's suggested that the Ground Blind is used in cooperation with Callers, Scents and the  Scent Eliminator for optimal use.

## How to set up & fold up

* If the ground area is good for set up, the following message will appear: Press MOUSE 1 to erect.
* To exit the Ground Blind press "E" on your keyboard. The Ground Blind will automatically return to your inventory.

## Showcase

Feral Goat

## Introduction

The Feral Goats have a lot of different fur textures, three common ones and a bunch of rares, all of them are present in both short and long fur variations. Their horns also vary significantly, featuring four main horn types of various sizes, with different degrees of rarity which, together with the assorted fur, provides a wonderful variety.

The scoring is based on CIC scoring. However, some adjustments had to be made, hence the scoring will not always be comparable to e.g. Alpine Ibex.

The horn score is based on the actual size of the models in the game. The Feral Goats we have in the game are a pretty small variant. In real life these animals have different body sizes depending on where in the world they live, along with other influencing factors. In the game the goats are small, therefore the horn size down was kept down a bit to fit the model. The head/horn ratio should look accurate.

The largest horns can reach a really high value while the smallest horns can have a smaller value than what CIC score calculation would suggest.
Dog Experience Awards

A dog's experience level starts at 0 and can go up to a maximum of 50. When ever the dog reaches a new level, awards are made in the form of either of these:

* Ribbon
* Skill level increase - both generic skills as well as dog specific skills
* gm$.

The only exception is level 50, where both a ribbon and a skill level increase occurs.

If the dog's  stamina is at 100%, the following experience points (XP) are gained:

* understand command to fetch a bird: 20 points
* fail to understand to fetch a bird: 2 points
* understand other command: 2 points
* fail to understand other command: 0.2 points
* receive treat: 30% of the successful command the dog was treated for (e.g. 6 points after fetching bird)

If a dog's stamina is higher, e.g. at 200%, then the double amount of XP are gained. If the stamina is lower, then less points are gained accordingly.

## Dog Skills per Level (correct for Labrador Retrievers)

The table below shows what you gain for each new level. Golden fields signify what changes for each level. It will be a ribbon, a level gain or a monetary gift in Gm$.

NOTE: This table is correct for Labrador Retrievers. Other dogs use the same type of system, but progress differently.
Hunter Score

Definition: The Hunter Score is the sum of all rank points that you have collected throughout your entire time in the game.

The Hunter Score is the number displayed on the right of your avatar in your profile. The scores of all players in the game are compared. They define your position among all players which is also displayed as "Rank" (not to be confused with the rank points explained below).

 The Hunter Score has nothing to do with the factors below

* scores of the animals you harvest
* tracking,  spotting and  shooting skills
* the quality of your shots
* your hit statistics
* Missions you have completed
* competition results
* Achievements - these counted for the Hunter Score until March 9, 2017

## Rank Points

Rank points count towards your Hunter Score and come in three categories. These categories are Animals, Weapons and Collectables. You can find your ranks by clicking on the Ranks tab below your Hunter Score.

### Animals

Every animal species has its own rank. You can collect rank points for each animal until you have reached 1000 kills for this animal. Killing more animals of this species will not further increase your Hunter Score.

### Weapons

All unique weapons have their own ranks. Weapon variations, such as the different  Plinkingtons, are grouped together. Harvests with any of these three rifles will count towards the same Rank. Weapons are grouped in the same way as they are for your Shooting Skills.

Example:

The  .22 Plinkington rifle comes in color variations: Marble; Winter Camo; Wood. All of these three rifles count towards the same rank. No matter which of the three guns a player uses, all kills will count towards the Plinkington Rank.

What it looked like in the old system:

* .22 Plinkington Marble: 100 kills
* .22 Plinkington Winter Camo: 50 kills
* .22 Plinkington Wood: 30 kills

Now looks like

* .22 Plinkington: 180 kills

### Collectables

Collectables have three ranks:

* Common mushrooms
* Rare mushrooms
* Treasures, which are
	+ Norse Pot and Byzantine Coin in Hemmeldal
	+ 3 types of Old Aboriginal Knife in Bushrangers Run
	+ Eagle Feather and Ammonite Fossil in Val-des-Bois
	+ Shark Tooth and Silver Dollar in Rougarou Bayou
	+ Raven Feather in Whiterime Ridge
	+ Antler Sheds in all reserves with deer species

Each kill per rank adds you one Hunter Score points. All Ranks are limited to a maximum of 1000 points.

## Ranks Overview

Your Ranks page shows your progress in the different areas. Move your mouse over the progress bars to see the numbers behind them.

Select Animals, Weapons and Collectables to see how you have completed the ranks for each of these categories.

## Rank Badges

All ranks have their own badges and look like this.
Compound Bow Red Dragon

## Description

Built for speed and precision, the Red Dragon, a close cousin in design to the Parker Python, is forgiving, smooth, quiet, and deadly accurate. This bow includes a preinstalled 3 Pin Fiber Optic Sight configured for both short and long range shooting.

## Gameplay Features

* 3-pin sight (20m, 40m, 60m)
* Shot volume: Very Quiet
* Power: 60lbs

## Permitted Species

All species can be shot except the Werewolf.
Hunting Tactics Baiting

*Baiting*

This animal can be lured with Bait, i.e. food that is presented to the animal in appropriate containers. The baiting stations have two effects. They increase the number of spawnings of the attracted species in the area, and they attract those animals that come within the attraction radius of the container. Baiting is used by many players to accumulate great numbers of animals around the stations. Consider this very effective method if you enjoy hunting the species in question. Hunting your feeders can be nicely supported by using  stands. Place yourself in a stand and shoot any number of baited animals near the feeder. Others will scatter and run away, only to return some time later. The  attractiveness of the feeder will stay at 100% for the duration of the hunting session. You can harvest a great number of animals if you spend a few hours at your baiting station.
Deployable Items

## Description

Some equipment can be deployed in the reserves that will stay there when you end your hunting session. Deployable items are sometimes called "Deployables" or "World Items").

## Items and their Reserve Limits

The maximum numbers are the combined numbers for all types of a specific deployable. For example, you can deploy 100 decoys of any type of goose decoys in a reserve. You can then still add another total of 15 hunting stands, e.g. ground blinds, treestands, etc.

 Deployable Targets | 30

## Deploying in Multiplayer

Since the game update of May 23, 2018, players can deploy certain items in a multiplayer game that someone else is hosting.

### Developer Notes

* All deployable equipment is placed and functions the same as it would in a single player game.
* When leaving the game hosted by someone else, your items leave the current game and are transferred back to your inventory
* If you are using another player's equipment and they disconnect, you will be removed from the equipment.
* If the host ends the game, all foreign equipment is removed and returned to each owner.

## Placing

* Equip the item in a suitable slot in your hunting inventory.
* Find a suitable place for your item.
* Select the item slot.
* Press the "E" key (default) to place it.

When you end a hunting session and start another hunt, this equipment will be available to use in the reserve. Deployable items can be used by other players during a multiplayer party, but you cannot install your own equipment if you are not the host.

## Dismantling

In order to retrieve these items, you need to walk there and pick them up.

* Press the "E" key (default) in front of the item and select Dismantle.

The easiest way to retrieve a tent is to start the hunt in this tent and then pick it up immediately.

## Spooking Animals

When certain deployable items are placed or removed, animals within 100m / 330ft will spook.

Spooking effect:

* Tents
* Hunting Stands
* Feeders
* Deployable Targets

No spooking effect:

* Decoys
* Climbing Gear
* Marker Flags

Burrows

The European Rabbit shares many traits with its North American cousin but there is one major difference – Burrows. When a  Cottontail spooks it tries to find thick vegetation to hide in, but the European Rabbit has taken it a step further by digging elaborate burrow systems to which it can retreat when threatened.

In theHunter European Rabbits live in colonies tied to burrow systems, randomly generated throughout the fields of Val-des-Bois. It is rare that a group of rabbits strays farther than 100 meters away from their burrows, which makes them easier to locate than other animals. The problem is though, that when spooked they retreat into a nearby hole and thus become unreachable by would-be hunters. The rabbits will eventually surface from a randomly selected hole in the burrow system. Patience and enough ammunition are will lead to success.

## Burrow Facts

* All burrows belong to a burrow system.
* There are several burrow systems throughout a reserve.
* Systems are not connected to each other.
* All burrows are equally important and frequented by entering or leaving animals.
* You can not shoot animals within burrows.
Callers

## Purpose and Usage

* Animals are attracted to a caller when they not in stress mode (after being spooked).
* Simply call by pressing and holding the left mouse button, then prepare for the animals coming towards you.
* Some animals will respond to your call by calling back.
* Most animals will move towards your call, they can however ignore it sometimes.
* The attraction time for callers is different for each type. See column Attraction duration.
* You can use the callers while walking, and in all positions.
* You can not "over-call". Animals will never spook because you called too much.
* Some callers have a double effect. They attract the animal, but also have a chance for animals to respond vocally. [1]
* The callers have a reach of 220 meters.
	+ An exception is the Jackrabbit caller that only attracts felines up to 100 meters.

## Animals with no Callers

Doc

"Doc" is the Master Warden of the Evergreen Hunting Reserve. He helps train new hunters, guiding them on their way and emailing them reprimands when they use unethical ammunition or fail to collect their kills. While knowledgeable about many species and a professional in his field, Doc does occasionally have... odd requests. In his personal life, he's a man of simple desires; he prefers a fire-cooked meal of wild game over a restaurant dish. He's a social fellow, too, with friends and acquaintances scattered throughout the hunting community.
Doc is also the character to notify player using the website messaging system about
* winning competition trophies
* breaking the permitted ammo rules
* not harvesting wounded animals by the end of a game session ("letter of Doc")
Harvest Value

The Harvest Value is a mere scoring number and not monetary value. It is a way to score harvested animals based on how the animal was harvested rather than how it looks. The aim of harvest value is to reward practices that lead to less animal suffering and that prevent unnecessary trophy damage. This is achieved by balancing two values against each other; **Wound Time** and **Trophy Integrity**.

It is important to note that the harvest value does neither influence nor replace the regular  trophy score or the CSS, which is derived from the regular score.

## Wound Time

Wound time is the time from the point the animal is wounded to its death. To gain high harvest values you need to keep this time as low as possible which in turn means less animal suffering. The best wound time results are achieved through proper shot placement using a weapon with enough penetration to damage critical organs such as the heart and lungs. An instant death means the best wound time that can be achieved, which is 0 seconds.

The values for the wound time range from 0 to infinite seconds where 0s is awesome and more than 60s is horrible.

## Trophy Integrity

The second variable to make up harvest value is trophy integrity. Trophy integrity simulates how damaged the animal is. The real life counterparts are things like meat, pelt and antler damage which lowers the monetary value of the harvest. A simplified method is used to calculate this value which means that it cannot directly be translated to all real life situations.

The trophy integrity is affected by weapon type, distance to target and species. The rule of thumb is that the less damage the target takes the higher the integrity value.

Values range from 0-100% where 100% is awesome and 0% is horrible.

## Harvest Value Calculation

To calculate the final Harvest Value, both the Wound Time and the Trophy Integrity considered. The highest possible harvest values can only be achieved by minimizing wound time and maximizing the trophy integrity. This leads to a balancing game where you need to find the optimal caliber with just enough damage to take down the target as quickly as possible.

High caliber weapons are not suitable for small game (bad integrity & good wound time) while they excel for big game (good integrity & good wound time). Low caliber weapons on the other hand are not suitable for big game (good integrity & bad wound time) while they excel for small game (good integrity & good wound time).

## Airshots only

The following animals will always end in a Harvest Value of 0 when shot on the ground. The purpose is to promote air shots.

Hunting Stands

## Description

Hunting Stands are deployable platforms that give the hunter different advantages such as better visual camo and/or field of view.

## How Stance matters when in stands

* Solid objects provide 100% camo for the body parts hidden behind them. Walls such as those of Ground Blinds or towers are solid objects.
	+ Platforms with walls (towers, blinds) override the stances of only those body parts which are hidden. For example, being prone or crouch makes no difference if already protected by a wall.
	+ All parts visible above a wall are not platform-protected/overridden.
* Platforms with no walls (Tree Stands, Tripod Stands override the player stance in any case and provide their own protection.
	+ Being in a stand is treated as being in a special stance, camo wise.
	+ Your stance can be prone, crouched, standing, treestand, groundblind etc. In other words your stance does not matter in a tree or tripod stand.
* Source

## Noise / spooking animals

Deploying or dismantling stands will spook animals within 100m / 328ft.

Entering and exiting stands does not cause noises.

## Stand Types

Each stand has different pros and cons that make them suitable for different areas, situations and species.
A Ground Blind with excellent visual camo is for instance very effective vs. visually oriented creatures such as birds while a Tree stand with excellent scent reduction is better vs. scent oriented species such as bears, hogs & coyotes.

Canada Goose Flag Lure

This flag features a photographic image of a Canada Goose for unsurpassed detail and can be used at long range to attract geese with motion resembling a goose flapping its wings. Using the flag increases the chance of birds breaking off a flock and deciding to land.

The effect of the flag stacks with that of any deployed  Decoys in the area, as well as with that of the  Canada Goose Long Range Caller. Since it is impossible for one player to use both the flag and the long range caller at the same time, multiplayer cooperation is required to reach the maximal combined probability, which is higher than that for  Mallards.

Repeated use of the flag is recommended to keep probability high for as long as high flying birds are present in the area. The flag, however, has no effect on birds once they have broken off and are about to land. In these scenarios the use of a  Short Range Caller is recommended.
