They will probably not have much meat (or none at all), but even small amounts will serve the player well, for it has high caloric value.
So in early game, the easiest way is to look for Ravaged Deer Carcasses.
Note, bullet wounds are more likely to kill the deer right away, but arrow wounds bleed the deer out faster.Īs said before, a deer can be a excellent source of food to the player, but in order to catch one you will need a Hunting Rifle, or Bow and a good shot. If the deer does not die after 1 shot, then it will bleed out (time it takes to bleed out is dependent on if it is a arrow wound or a bullet wound).
One shot is enough to kill a deer, however a near miss will cause them to run in panic for a few moments. Since they are very fast, the only way the player can kill a deer is using the Hunting Rifle or Bow. Their meat, hide, and gut can be harvested from their carcasses, and they can yield many kilograms (about 10kg at most) of meat.
