Welcome to West Africa, after a two decade-long poaching epidemic fuelled by civil conflicts and the bushmeat market the new warden of this reserve is determined to turn things around. From the arid Sahalian Acacia to the Guinean Mangroves many hunting opportunities exist and even rarer species like Lion and Bongo exist here, but with rare species comes poachers and the warden is paying good money to destroy any trap you find. Armed with new weapons like the 375 Magnum Bolt-action and the 50 AE Semi-auto Pistol, you will be ready for anything

Also just forgot: The Recurve Crossbow (the one currently in the game is a Compound Crossbow)

#

Now I think about it, this reserve and #1070045518002147458 each have a unique crossbow, some sort of 10 gauge shotgun and a big rifle (375 Magnum here, 454 Lever-action over in the Arctic)

#

For traps that you have to destroy there are 2 types: Snares and Gin Traps. Snares are harder to see but to make it easier you will see a bundle of wire by the snare. Gin traps are easier to see (Bottom of the image). For side missions you will have to remove a number of snares and gin traps in each region of the reserve and to reward your efforts these side missions should have a high payout

Now for the West African Buffalo, the red coloured animals would make sense, and there could also be several shades of brown, grey and even black coloured buffalo (Alongside the typical leusistic and albinos a lot). And while their horns are not as big as the Cape Buffalo they are no less dangerous

arctic atlas Dec 12, 2023, 12:59 AM

#

Besides the West African Buffalo, another ungulate that hunters shouldn't underestimate is the Lowland Bongo. While it is certainly rarer then the more common Harnessed Bushbuck (being a Rare Species does that) and more restricted to the rainforest areas, they can turn aggressive. And since I mentioned Bushbucks, don't corner a bushbuck ram: they have been known to kill leopards and hunting dogs

prime scaffold Dec 12, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

You have a lot of species on this map that can go aggressive, that combined with the diversity of biomes really reminds me of Emerald Coast.

arctic atlas Dec 12, 2023, 1:51 AM

#

prime scaffold You have a lot of species on this map that can go aggressive, that combined with...

For Aggressive Species here is the list

Very Aggressive (Predatory/Territorial)
African Lion
West African Buffalo
Hippopotamus (The most dangerous animal on the reserve, thankfully rare)
Spotted Hyena
Somewhat Aggressive (Get too close)
Olive Baboons (Males only, they protect their groups)
Giant Forest Hog
West African Crocodile
Rarely Aggressive (They would rather run from you if they can)
Harnessed Bushbuck (Males only, they have the horns)
Lowland Bongo
Red River Hog & Warthog

#

Everything else isn't going to attack the hunter (Though it would be funny to see a player get chased by a cane rat)

The Upland Birds: Guineafowl and Bustard can be shot while on the ground. The Snipes, Quails, Green Pigeons, Sandgrouse and Francolin must be shot while flying and the snipes will be the toughest bird to hit

Duikers: While West Africa has many species, I only chose the Zebra Duiker and Yellow-backed Duikers, and why those 2: For the Zebra Duiker it just looks different from similar sized duikers. For the Yellow-backed Duiker, well they stand out based on their size as one of the 3 Giant Duikers (And a species that could have made it to my #1099469747323670729 reserve given their distribution) and would require buckshot, arrow, bolt or class 3 handgun and rifle ammo to bring down

#

Also fun fact: Duikers will occasionally eat small animals

arctic atlas Dec 12, 2023, 10:06 PM

#

I do have a list of potential species I will be including later on, but I do plan on covering the rest of the species on the main list first

#

Red Fronted Gazelles: A smaller antelope found in the dry Sahel acacia that defines the northern edge of the reserve, they occasionally venture towards the wetter savannah. A vary animal that was once hunted by cheetahs and wild dogs they will run at the first sign of danger so a long range rifle like the 243 or 223 will be useful, though it can be hunted with a bow if you catch them while they drink or rest

#

Sing-sing Waterbuck: An antelope mainly found in the Sudanian Savannah biome, they occasionally inhabit the Forest-Savannah Mosaics more open areas as long as they have access to water. A type of Defassa Waterbuck, they can be distinguished from the Common Waterbuck of Southern and Eastern Africa by a lack of a white ring on their rump

#

Red River Hogs: A brightly coloured pig species found in Central and West Africa, they are a fine addition to any trophy room, and while they might inhabit the tropical forest regions that define the southern parts of the reserve, if you know how to hunt wild boar then hunting them shouldn't be an issue

#

On waterfowl hunting: Hunting along the rivers of the reserve is a good way to encounter waterfowl species like the African Pygmy Goose and White-faced Whistling Duck, so an intrepid waterfowl hunter should consider setting up near oxbow lakes and other slower parts of the rivers. Of course crocodiles will hunt these birds though they are not as worrisome as the mighty Hippopotamus

arctic atlas Dec 12, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

While Lions are the apex predator of this reserve, the Spotted Hyenas are the more numerous large predator that ranges from the Sahel zone in the north to the edge of the Rainforest of the southern parts of the reserve. Their laughter is a warning.

arctic atlas Dec 13, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

Also I'm not sure if anyone noticed but the handgun included on the weapons list is basically the Desert Eagle (50 AE Semi-auto, as in 50 Action Express, one of the calibres the Desert Eagle can be chambered in)

arctic atlas Dec 13, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

Basically the inclusion of the Desert Eagle is for making sure the Hippos don't send your hunter to meet their ancestors

arctic atlas Jan 4, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

I do realize that the Yellow-backed Duiker can occasionally live in savannah regions, and given how the Delta region has both Forest Mosaic and Savannah, and the Basin region sits pretty close to the jungle areas, I have decided that the Yellow-backed Duiker can appear in the savannah (Yellow coloured area on the map) but about as commonly as lions can be seen on the whole reserve (Which isn't saying much seeing as how lions are one of the "Rare Species" for this reserve)

And speaking of duikers, this reserve has several species and yet I do not have a dedicated side mission for them so here is one I whipped up, and because of the nature of the mission I will say it: Buckshot needs a serious buff

Hunt 15 Red-flanked Duikers with a shotgun
Hunt 15 Bay Duikers with a shotgun
Hunt 15 Zebra Duikers with a shotgun
Hunt 5 Yellow-backed Duikers with a shotgun

#

And now that I think about it, certain trees, especially in the jungle areas should be set up so species like monkeys, green pigeons and genets can be up in the tree branches

Really good ideas

Other then the Central African Republic I did hear of Senegal offering one or two tags every so often
And since it ended up being one of the countries used for inspiration, (any country that allows big game hunting that was also west of Cameroon and south of the Sahara Desert was used for inspiration)

I felt it wasn’t worth adding given that info

Good reasoning. but it’s such an amazing animal, it feels wrong to leave out the lord of west Africa

I like the idea of Eland. Your choice @arctic atlas

I like your idea more. It has a big variation of species and biomes

what country is this based of?

arctic atlas Jun 1, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

Its mainly meant to cover as much of West Africa as possible

So its based on any West African Country south of the Sahara and west of Cameroon that allows sport hunting to some degree (weather its big game, small game or birds)

I’m not sure about the laws and regulations but, in Burkina Faso the Kori Bustard bird can be hunted.

#

How the hell would you even hunt these things?!?!?

slow ingot Jun 3, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

Apparently with falcons. But Jim Shocky and that other guy probably hunted theirs the old fashioned way

arctic atlas Jun 3, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

Problem is Kori Bustards are not native to Burkina Faso

Arabian Bustards are part of the same genus and live in Burkina Faso and other parts of West Africa

I also listed Denham’s Bustard (second picture)

Seeing as how Tigers and Snow Leopards are rare on Sundarpatan, it makes the species I listed as rare for this map work a bit better

Added the Western Giant Eland to the map since a very limited number of tags are apparently offered in Senegal every year (No more then 2), they would be another rare species to reflect this and the Western subspecies has a smaller population then the Eastern Giant Eland of Cameroon and the Central African Republic

arctic atlas Aug 4, 2024, 4:08 AM

#

arctic atlas Here is my map concept for this reserve: To give you a rundown on all the biomes...

The Western Giant Eland would be found in the Sudanian Savannah biome with some lone bulls living in the Forest-Savannah Mosaic (biomes are reflected on the map)

How about adding western Kudu?
