Best Shots from Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve
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.

It is impressive the work of the designers of the worlds of that game. They look great. I imagine you have a good PC to run that.
Yeah, I have been upgrading my pc slowly over the past year. But it looks good on medium settings and you don't need high-end PC just for that. It is well optimised in that regard.

I liked the way you described the trails and old structures. It feels like the map has a quiet story of its own. @tipu curate 7

As an animal and nature lover, I don't like hunting games. I would feel terrible having to shoot those little animals, even knowing they're not real. However, when I saw the landscapes on the cover, I wondered how they could possibly be from a game. It's incredible how real they feel, and as you mention later, the water effect in particular is practically perfect. It looks like you could take a dip in the river. Can you see the same places at other times of the year? They must be spectacular in spring too. To answer your final question, my favourite photo is the one of the river with the multi-arched bridge and the large rocks in the middle of the photo. I could sit on one of them for hours.

I love those bridges too. We have come a long way from just a few pixels on the screen to millions of them, at the same time changing hundreds of times in a second. Such a world we live in, where most things would seem like straight out of a magic book if you show them to a century-old person haha.
Those same places don't have weather changes, but there are multiple places and maps in the game modelled after real places where you can go and visit, and many of them offer a wide range of landscapes and weather conditions.
And about the animal lover part, do you love all animals equally or just the cuter ones haha? In other words, are you a meat-eater? 😉
Oh yes, I eat meat. I understand the point, hehe. But I couldn’t eat an animal that I have seen alive. When I was little, I saw my grandmother kill rabbits or chickens to cook them, and I couldn't eat them; I only ate the rice. 😅
Video games have certainly evolved a lot. I'm one of those who started out with magnetic tapes on a Spectrum ZX+2. "Old Girl". 🤣
The photo from the top of the bridge looks great mate, but the one from the bottom doesn't look bad at all. You did a great job.
By the way, the weather and conditions look good for hunting. Have fun bro
Thank you, bro. It was perfect weather for hunting.
The level of detail of the water in this game is nice, I like how the river looks, those pictures look nice. Going hunting animals like that must be relaxing, can you fish too?
