After hunting what should i do?

[Coffee Addicted☕]

where can i sell the skin and the animal meat ?
can i take it to the camp? :/

Donate it to Pearson in camp when you want to buff out the camp supplies or unlock upgrades for Arthur's satchel. Or, if you want money take it to a butcher in town

unless its perfect deer pelt - give 7 to pearson, for starters sell the rest of the skins to trapper
near riggs station for cosmetic items. He uses them to craft clothes.

The vast majority of perfect pelts are needed for the trapper.
Pearson needs about 20 something specific pelts, so dont donate random perfect pelts to him, might end up wasted.


only perfect skins matter for crafting. the rest are useless, only worth some petty cash.

those are all the pelts pearson needs for satchel if you want to know beforehand.

Additional: if donating to Pearson, should I skin the animal and donate carcass and skin seperately or the whole animal? Are there advantages/disadvantages to one or the other?

[gpolg]

for trapper carcasses count for materials. for pearson idk but probably the same.

threre are no disadvantages really,
hunting yields very little money in any case.
i dont carry carcasses, unless for the very specific few cases I need to donate a carcass.
carrying 7 deer pelts to pearson is much faster than carrying 7 deers

heres a list if anyone cares about totals
