Something that makes a map feel empty like nothing else does is a lack of small game.

Nez Perce is my favorite map and the one I've spent the most time on since buying tbe game but it really does lack small game, Turkeys added a huge improvement but they're not exactly spread out enough to make it feel like it really should. Here's a list, in no particular order, that would help add a little more life.

Grouse
Jackrabbits
Coyotes
Raccoons (kinda surprised how many there are out here if im honest)
Fishers (kinda hard to find but they're impressive animals)
Porcupines

I know squirrels might be way too much of an ask, but theres several species in the area Nez Perce is set in and they all make great table fare.

Let me know if you can think of some others, i hope we can get one or two of these though.

The idea of the maps having new small game species is something that should be done for all maps honestly and based on your list this is what I compiled for Nez Perce (I added rockchucks because why not)

Small Game Additions for Nez Perce

  • Coyote - Tier 3 or 4 (The European Jackal is a Tier 4 species and are a bit smaller in size then the coyote, more proof the Weapon Tiers need a rework)
  • Common Raccoon - Tier 2 (Apparently raccoons are hunted with 22LR)
  • Fisher - Tier 2
  • North American Porcupine - Tier 2 or 3
  • Yellow-bellied Marmot (Rockchuck) - Tier 1 or 2
  • White-tailed Jackrabbit - Tier 1
  • Dusky Grouse - Tier 1
  • Ruffed Grouse - Tier 1

The tiers don't make a lot of sense to me if im honest,

Like .30-30 has been used on black bears and elk for easily 100 years now but they look at the most pathetic ammunition the caliber has ever had and decide its good for nothing but t4?

They need to put more effort into the research

One idea I had for how the weapon tiers could be reworked in regards to the animals is listed below, I do agree that the weapons would need a serious rework

  • Tier 1 Animals: This would remain the same
  • Tier 2: Foxes and Badgers
  • Tier 3: Wolverine, Jackal, Northern Lynx
  • Tier 4: Springbok, Roe Deer
  • Tier 5: All the original Tier Species plus Red Deer and American Black Bear
  • Tier 6: Moose, Elk, Sambar Deer, African Lion (Can be hunted with a 300 WinMag in some countries like Zambia), Common Eland
  • Tier 7: Kodiak Bear and European Brown Bear, Wood Bison, Cape Buffalo
