TheIncredibleHibby Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I searched doe and deer, but got nothing really suggesting this.It's rather trivial and nowhere near being a priority, but eventually, maybe adding in some does would be nice...I find it hard to believe that bucks are the only ones around sustaining a constant deer population, unless the geomagnetic event has altered wildlife to the point of asexual reproduction Also a slight nitpick, but the upside-down antlers on the ravaged deer carcasses put me off every time I see them, as I've never seen any sort of deer whose tines point down like that..it would be nice to see that corrected as well :geek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brostoevsky Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Good point. I also would like other small animals like the arctic ground squirrel to trap for food and pelts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIncredibleHibby Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Indeed, I have seen a lot of suggestions for other sorts of animals as well. There was actually a really good suggestion to include the Canadian grouse that I particularly like, as it would 1) add even more life to the game and 2) really be interesting to see what all you could do with the resources from any caught birds (since I don't think you can actually kill those blasted crows--has anyone ever tried??). And then there's the bear suggestion, which is apparently going to be implemented from what I've heard around here. I'm excited as heck for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snegec Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 You explore a cave, hoping to find some secret stash of supplies or a spot to make a fire, but instead get to pet a cute little bear cub. Up until the moment his mother catches you and sends you cursing straight back to new sandbox selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this suggestion! Female deer still seem to be missing from this apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JErosion Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 there should be a few doe in the mix, how about also having variable antlers for the bucks as well, Also considering that they will be adding wolf pack behavior to wolves, shouldn't there also be herd behavior for deer as well, spook one deer you spook them all, and watch as they run together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjern Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 They certainly are easy to tell apart. I also think this shouldn't be too difficult to add to the game, so hopefully they will do this...the more realism, the more immersive the game is.

Scyzara Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Definitely +1 from my side, I doubt it would be much work for the Devs just to remove the antlers from the current deer model to create some does. It's not like anything more detailled (skull shape, muscle proportions, etc.) is necessary imo. Simply no antlers would be totally fine for me.

That would make sense, though if these are blacktail deer the size difference isn't as large as it is for mule deer - awk! I seem to be channeling one of my uncles!

cekivi Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Note that for some one deer species the doe also has antlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyzara Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I only knew female reindeer have antlers, but the deer ingame certainly don't look much like reindeer. Always thought they are white-tailed deer, but my knowledge of Northern American deer species is very limited as I have to admit. Are there also 'true' deer species in Canada (Cervinae, so not reindeer or the like) where the females have antlers? Oo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oo My bad, there is only one species of deer where the female (doe) also has antlers: caribou. Also known as reindeer in Europe. But caribou are deer or at least the North American variety is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorseRaven99 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 If they add female deer, they should have just a little less meat than their males counterparts. I do believe it wouldn't be that hard for Hinterland to do and it is something that should happen. It's getting boring in this sausage party.

In German there's a differentiation between "true deer" (Echte Hirsche, Cervinae, e.g. red deer or fallow deer) and "deception deer" (Trughirsche, Capreolinae, e.g. caribou/reindeer and moose), but in English these terms don't seem to exist. Instead, Cervinae are called "Old world deer" and Capreolinae are "New World deer", although many New World deer indeed live in Eurasia and some Old World deer in the Americas. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
