Best Shots from Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve
5 comments
Hello and welcome back to my blog!


I've talked about many different hunting reserves from theHunter: Call of the Wild and shown a lot of shots from them. In that series, it's time to continue with another beautiful reserve called Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve. This one is based in southern Germany and its countryside areas. You can guess that from all the German names and locations, the types of species to hunt, and the occasional old, rustic buildings and barns found here.
I love the yellow and orange colors on the leaves here, indicating the onset of autumn. The weather and colors here remind me of the Layton Lake District map.
Just like Layton Lakes, this reserve also has a big river that stretches from one part of the reserve to the other. It's called the Hirschdorf River and serves as a lifeline to the whole reserve.
There are multiple stone bridges over the river, which are the only way to cross it in most parts. Sadly, you cannot swim in this game. All that realism and the developers just said nope, you're not touching the water, lol.
I took the above shot standing on the bridge. It turned out fine... what do you think? Water is hard to simulate in any game, and it looks fine here.
Okay, back to the trees. There are some old trails and roads that go deep into the forests. I wonder who built those and how they are maintaining them so well.
You will find a lot of Wild Boars here; those buggers are everywhere. But the hardest to hunt here is the red fox; they're not too tall and blend so well with the surroundings. By the time you notice them, they're already on their way out.
The easier option is Roe Deer. They don't seem to have good senses, and you can get pretty close to them easily. You can find them easily along the river too.
My favorite species to hunt here is Fallow Deer. In my opinion, they have the best fur among all deer species. Those white dots on their fur make them so beautiful. Sad to see people hunting them in real life. I would never hurt an animal outside a video game.
This Fallow deer was enjoying the view and came to drink water. Little did he know it would be his last day.
Apart from the river and occasional lakes in this reserve, there are some smaller puddles that can serve as drinking zones for some animals. However, I haven't seen much activity near these. I love to take shots of these.
Do you remember how I was talking about stone bridges on the river earlier? There's a very beautiful semicircular bridge here that looks so good. This is a 150-year-old bridge here. If I could stand in the water to take a picture, that would be cool.

There are some wide open plains where you can find European Bisons too. The only thing that's lacking here in terms of gameplay is the number of species. There are very few species here, and not many unique species that aren't found anywhere else on another map. That's why I don't play on this map often, despite it being a very beautiful-looking reserve.
The outposts here have some unique touches. I love these red colors on the barn-style outposts. They complement the overall aesthetics of this reserve well.

Let me know your thoughts about this reserve. And what are your favorite shots from the post? I loved the semi-circular stone bridge.
Thanks for reading.
