Looks awesome, i've always wanted a NA equivalent to Rev

[raw anvil]

Right we have a waterfowl dedicated reserve with a lab. Now we need an upland bird reserve with a pointer and it would be bliss. And the critters I listed are also small game that coincide with one another in that environment. Plus with the added gauges we would have all the birds and shotguns covered. Minus 8ga & 4ga for Dangerous Game.

Here is the image of mammals from Wyoming. I am not sure about the hunting regulations in Wyoming, but I see that there are small mammal species that I am interested in adding to the map, such as the White-Tailed Jackrabbit, Black-Tailed Jackrabbit, Desert Cottontail, and more.

[raw anvil]

Thanks for adding the poster. I was going to add more small game to the list however I hit the cap at 19. My intention was to offer a reserve dedicated to upland birds as well as "Small: Game & Predators" that coincide with the biome & ecology. Basically, its a gated reserve populated with upland birds with some natural predators & small game you'd see in the plains. With the added bonus of a Pointer being added with additional weapons.

Wolverines & Fischers are protected in wyoming before it gets suggested.

[raw anvil]

But I would love to add the Hares & Rabbits as well if EW would consider increasing the cap along with Red/Gray Foxes. But I'll edit them in as additional game. I'd have to look into porcupines, not sure if their legal or not🤔

confirmed Porcupines are legal 👍

Here are some photos of typical Wyoming landscapes for this map. It's all-terrain flats, grass, wax, abandoned farm houses and hills up to the famous Devil's Tower. In the background of the map is The Grand Tetons.

Thats why its a gated reserve, the added birds mentioned are from the surrounding states and Wyoming is also well known for breeding a large % of game birds in the US to re-release in the wild across the country. Utah & the Dakotas also have these programs. Texas also has gated reserves or ranches that have species not native but also happen to thrive in the environment. Its not uncommon to have conservation hunts that have introduced additional species. Jaxy also talked about it in one of his streams that he loved the idea bc it has more freedom to place in game bc he personally doesn't like backfills. So I remembered a time when I was a kid hunting in a gated reserve full of different upland birds and I had a blast.

[raw anvil]

So the gated reserve is a dedicated Upland Bird & Small Game location & introduces several of our Countries remaining huntable game to CotW. I also feel a bit cheated when Revontuli Coast "(a dedicated waterfowl reserve)" was released in addition to a lab before upland birds & a Pointer, so I feel its long overdue. The US is well known for its Upland Birds/ Big Game/ Waterfowl/ & Fur Bearer species.

And all the species I mentioned can and do thrive in the environment I suggested. Hopefully this helps answer your question as to why.

I also would've added photos but I'm doing everything on console since my pc is..shall we say out of date 😅 But thanks for adding that.

We need a US dedicated upland bird & small game reserve with a Pointer. Especially after Revontuli Coast that's a dedicated Waterfowl reserve & a labrador retreiver.

@raw anvil Where in the world would your reservation be based?

[glacial frost]

If he's imaginine something Rev-like in the US I'd imagine along the Platte or Poudre Rivers in Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming, or Colorado since those are hotspots for popular upland game and waterfowl in the US.
