Its worth it. You really get a sense of the land and the layout. Because ive been hunting so much ive gotte use to the map where im up to the point where i dont even look at the mini map or use a gps.
The upgrades are interesting on paper, but they don't really impact the game all that much. The biggest night/day upgrade you feel is copping an Arabian horse (either tame the white one up north, buy the black one down south, or enjoy the endgame rose grey one out west), putting a Gerden saddle on it, add +2 speed/acc stirrups, and then bonding with it to Level 4 to get it's cores to max potential.
You'll be flying all over the map and saving time on literally everything. Press accelerate twice and your already out of cop range.
That being said, here's a list of the various talisman / trinket perks:
Here's a map of where to find the Legendary animals
You don't have to worry about perfect pelts and the correct weapon with legendaries ... you can just bomb them with whatever you find fun. Remember to take the pelt and the carcass back to a Trapper to get extra $$$, then go to a Fence to make the trinket/talisman.
But ... you also asked for a hunting guide ... so here's info on why you always want to headshot an animal and how to preserve a perfect pelt with the right weapon (charts in spoiler)
Basically ...
- Spot your target with your binoculars (make sure it's 3 stars in the bottom right)
- Crouch and position yourself to line up a headshot
- Equip the proper weapon to maintain a perfect pelt
- Aim at the animal, hit deadeye, target a headshot
If your trying to make a satchel, bring it back to camp ... if you just want cash and want to make outfits, bring it to a Trapper.
Why do we hunt? Because I want to upgrade, craft shyt and look like king joffi joffer.
Protips for hunting:
- u can use a scope from a sniper rifle besides binoculars to study animals as well. U need to study an animal to see whats their pelt value is and whats the best way to kill while preserving its 3 star value.
- 3 stars is what u need to hunt so dont bother hunting other animals less than that.
- most big herbivores like deer, elk, buck and bison u dont need to shoot to kill. If u find a 3 star herbivore, use your lasso while chasing on horseback and u can kill it clean with your knife which saves you ammo and keeps the pelt pristine.
- smaller animals require u to kill with either the varment rifle (which u have to buy or someone can buy it for u if u do wa good deed) or bow with small arrows which you have to craft. To craft it, u will need the pamphlet which u can purchase from a fence. If crafting arrows, better be killing any bird u see and plucking their feathers.
- if hunting predators, use store bought bait or study it and find its favorite prey it likes to eat. Kill said prey, and bring the dead prey where the predator is frequent, and hide somewhere to scope and wait for predator to appear and kill.
Name one other game in 2018 where you go through a drawer where their are 5 items and you gotta pick them up individually. Then explain to me why that is necessary.

Rockstar GT4'd themselves again with certain aspects of this game where they went too realistic...
No reason why there shouldn't at least be a "take all" option when opening a draw...
Feeding the horse is equivalent to putting gas in your car in GTA...Mundane real world tasks everyone hates (in some US states you don't even pump your own gas) shouldn't be in a video game...

I agree with you but I think you have it backwards. Putting gas in a car or feeding a horse is realistic. I think it's as realistic as having to push a button to reload and having a limited number of ammo.
If there are 3 items in a drawer pushing a button over each item to make a decision whether or not you want the item or not is silly. I understand you have limited satchel space. But unless your inventory for cigarettes or biscuits are full it should just be one motion action where the character grabs everything they can and leave back what they can't then shuts the door. Maybe leaving cabinets and drawers open and having to shut them is realistic but for a game its cumbersome, idk maybe they are thinking if someone comes in bussing they don't want characters to die will doing auto animated tasks like shutting cabinets or grabbing a brass ring, a bracelet and $2.18
When you go to that first cabin that gets burned down they tell you to raid the cupboards and cabinets and shyt, dude looks and feels like he's grocery shopping, not raiding and ransacking.
