Animal Taxidermy, Trophy Mounts, Fallow Deer & Map Update

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hello Hunters!

With this major update, we are introducing animal taxidermy and trophy mounts to the game! The trophy mounting system gives players complete freedom with the trophy placement. You can choose which type of mount you want to place and where you want to place it. Each animal also has several different poses to choose from. We would love to see your lodges so post them to our Discord, tag us in socials and share here in Steams screenshots!

And that is not all! We are also adding another animal, the mighty fallow deer to the game. These colorful medium sized deer with big antlers and thick necks can be found mostly around leaf and mixed forest areas. We have reworked the whole eastern side of the map and added a 3rd outpost, giving the players more exciting hunting grounds to go after the fallows!

There are many, many more changes, features and improvements in this update so read all of them below:
