I know we already have a lot of maps in North America, especially with Askiy Ridge Coming out soon, but I've always had this idea in the back of my head that could introduce some new animals, gameplay mechanics, and a nice story.
Copperhead Glen Reserve is a nice reserve based in the mountains of Appalachia, it would be based mainly around states such as Kentucky, West Virginia, and maybe Tennessee. It would have animals that are majorly already in the game, but aswell as some new animals and gameplay ideas. There would be some farm lands, a lot of forest, mountains, and even coal mines and caves. Now i'm gonna list the animals
New Animals Introduced:
Oppossum
Appalachian Cottontail
American Mink
Huntable Squirrels
Skunk
Dove???
Small and Medium Game
Bobwhite Quail
Wood Duck
Mallard
Grey and Red Foxes
Coyotes
Bobcat
Raccoons
Turkey
Beaver
Eastern Cottontail
Large Game:
Whitetail Deer
Black Bear
Feral Hogs
I know not a lot of large game here, but I have a few reasons I will follow up on that shortly for a gameplay idea, but with the new animals if EW ever wanted to fill up some of the reserves they have some ideas on game you can hunt there.
New Dogs: With this map this could introduce the idea of animals climbing trees, with blackbear, raccoons, and opossum. That being said I think this would be a great way to introduce Treeing. They could either choose one singular breed of coonhound, or when opening the kennel you go to buy the new dog COONHOUND, and when selecting "fur" it instead says breed and you get the options of walker, bluetick, redbone, red tick, plott hound, black and tan, and American English. As well as coonhounds we'd also get the Mountain Cur, a dog to help us find and bark out at the squirrels we see, and the beagle to help with the rabbits.
New Vehicles: Copperhead Glen would have a lot of roads for driving, which you could use with hunting bear with the new dogs, so i'd love to see trucks. For more quiet transportation, side by sides.
