Had and interesting conversation with someone in General PC chat today, made me think about this.
When a new player starts the game, the reserve warden tells them to aim for the vitals to make a clean kill. Nothing wrong with this but new players and particularly the ones who have no experience with hunting would not know where to aim even after being told that.
So my suggestion is to pop up a tutorial showing an Xray of a deer. A simple dot or circle over the lungs would be enough to get people shooting in the right spots and doesn't add to much work for the devs either
Thanks
P.S. Maybe consider adding the basic mouth call for turkeys and swap out buckshot for bird shot. So new players can take advantage of the turkeys/ducks on Layton and the pheasants/geese on Hirschfelden
