Tell Tales mission

Locals tell of a Magic Pond...

You will only be able to find this book after unlocking Joplin's 2nd Bunker (part of an another side mission) located not far off the Molly's Barn. Follow the map to the Magical pond to catch your legendary Big Bass. Don't forget a fishing tackle!

Locals tell of a Ghostly Stag...

Book location is at Draft Dodger's Cabin (in Survival mode), a lonely cabin under the hills with the crashed plane. Map marker will lead you to Three Strikes Farmstead field where you can hide in a snow shelter. Don't blink or you'll might miss it!

Locals tell of a Sasquatch...

Easy to miss - this particular book is in the bathroom of the Thompson's Community Hall on a cabinet shelf. The context leads to a nearby cave that will provide you with a nice warmth bonus. Only the real Sasquatch's hunter knows what this coat is really made of...

Locals tell of a Hidden Glowing Cave...

Book is located in a House (Rural Store in Survival mode) on an opposite side of the road from the Community Hall on a counter shelf. Leads to a cave by Misty Falls Picnic Area not far from the Plane crash site. Take a lantern and explore this cave, I would recommend going Adam when passing through the icy wall.

you can't kill the stag its a ghost. I shot it and it just walked off.

Has anyone killed the White Stag? I saved right before it and attempted it but it legged it and I couldnt be bothered chasing it. Reloaded and carried on without attacking it.
Just curious if its actually killable and if it gives anything unique at all?
Sort of felt wrong killing it which is why I went back to presave and left without shooting..

I got the same problem, but dont know how to fix it

@ZENEK: You must get to the podium and stand directly behind him. I'm not sure if the animation which plays then triggers automatically or you need to click, but you cannot trigger it from a side.
