theHunter: Call of the Wild – A Journey Through Parque Fernando

I played theHunter: Call of the Wild in Parque Fernando, a map which I rarely play, and want to share my experience of it with some shots that I took during my session. It was better than I expected.

---

Park Fernando is a DLC map which I purchased a long time ago, but never paid much attention to it. Mostly because there are no animals that I liked to hunt in that map other than the gorgeous Red Deer. But those deer are found in many other reserves in the game.

---

It has a lot of grasslands, perfect for hunting with a long-range rifle. These are filled with shrubs, which can help the hunters hide and stay undetected for long, so you can hopefully get that diamond red deer.

---

I noticed dried river channels filled with curved rocks. It makes sense because this map has a lot of water bodies on all sides. These streams end up in big lakes.

---

Talking about the water bodies, this makes has one of the biggest animals you can hunt, the water buffalo. These are found near the lakes and swamp areas in this map, and one of the fun animals to hunt. They are fast but not as fast as some other animals, and they charge at you, so it gets interesting hunting these.

---

The lakes on the eastern edge of the map are huge. They form a natural border in this park. I love the way some of the trees are standing tall, even inside the water.

---

The dead tree branches lying on the shore are an interesting detail. The foliage in this game is well done. Although these branches don't seem to interact with the player, a lot of grass and shrubs do.

---

Talking about animals to hunt here, there is a star predator which is very underrated in this game. And as far as I know, it is found only here. I am talking about Puma. They are skittish and hide well in the grasses here. Very hard to spot and track, let alone hunt them.

---

This is the first puma I ever hunted in this map. I have hunted a lot of them in the Silver Ridge Peaks map, where these are called mountain lions.

One of the unique things about this reserve is its practice ranges. You can go and practice your bow or shooting skills with those. A good way to see how the bullet/bow trajectory is affected by distance and wind conditions in this game.

---

I learned to shoot the hard way, but for anyone who is looking to get themselves familiar with new weapons and a range, it is better to go to one of these ranges and practice.

The outposts in these reserves are fine too. Some of them are small, like a cabin in the woods, while others, especially the starter one, a big structures with a fancy bed to rest. I think because this park is being used for vacations as well.

---

This is not my favourite reserve because of a lack of saturation and a good population of animals. It was a pain hunting in the dense part of the reserve. Maybe some of it is my fault for not having a HUD on, but despite that, I am not a big fan of this reserve. But I can see myself coming back here just for the exciting water buffalo hunts and swamp areas.

Let me know your thoughts about it.
