Does the huntsman help with zombie animals too?

Do I get more rotting flesh?

If you mean the perk for reading all of the "Hunter's Journal" books, I just tested this experimentally with a zombie bear.

Without Hunter's Journal:
50 rotten flesh
15 leather
30 bones
5 animal fat

With Hunter's Journal:
60 rotten flesh
18 leather
35 bones
6 animal fat

So this book set bonus also applies to all harvestable materials from zombie animals. Even though I think Hunter's Journal is a really lousy set of books since animals are so rare, the bonus for reading all of them isn't bad.

OP is likely referring to the "The Huntsman" perk in the fortitude tree, which boosts harvest values from animals by 20/40/60/80/100%. Which I think, like the hunters journal, should affect anything harvested from the dead animals as well..but can't confirm atm.

Nuts. Post edited. I had searched the creative menu for all instances of “hunt.” At first I thought OP meant the “hunter” item mod, but that didn’t match their description. So I checked the books and thought aha, that’s it. But I didn’t check the ability tracks. I regret the error.
