Venison quality
Hi,
The last time I was sitting on my hunting tower irl, after hours of waiting (apparently, we do not have the same wild boar population as in the game ) a young boar appeared. It directly turned away from me and as my goal is more to harvest premium class venison than getting a trophy there was no chance to shoot it.
I started thinking, that in the game I probably would have taken the shot and - as I am typically using enough gun - probably would have even got 100% trophy value.
What is you opinion about either a bonus for a clean shot (lung, heart, liver) or a slight reduction in case stomach and/or intestines are hit.
Pure brain and neck shots are to be discussed as they prevent bleeding out and therefore also slightly decrease venison quality but far less then a shot to far back.

Re: Venison quality
In real hunting i'll pass up every shot that isn't a clean double lung shot. I've noticed i'm taking shots in game I never would in real hunting. It's a bad habit and I need to stop doing it. Animals in game deserve the same respect as real animals.

Re: Venison quality
I should also add to what I said if we're talking about the taste of the meat. An un-spooked animal that's dropped on the spot will taste better than a spooked animal, or one that runs after the shot. Always use enough gun to kill on the spot. I use the caplock and some think it's weak. I agree at longer distances. Up close it hits hard and has no problem with bull elk and grizzlies.
This won't matter in game unless you want to make it a sim as much as possible.

Re: Venison quality
What do you mean by, "bonus"? You already get 100% HV for a well placed shot the drops that animal.
Although I'll admit the whole Trophy Integrity / Wound Time / Harvest Value system could be improved, It's already meant to consider the overall "value" of the kill, including the meat.

It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!
