For sustainable hunting its really important to know the exact timing of animal patterns across the major regions so mystery lake is your bread and butter with deer herds moving through specific paths around 6-8 hour intervals near the lake, and rabbit spawns refreshing every 3 days near trappers. The unnamed pond area sees predictable wolf patrols every 4-5 hours which you can exploit for ambush hunting.

Pleasant valley offers reliable hunting windows especially during dawn hours when deer congregate near the farmstead, with moose appearances cycling every 7-10 days near specific clearings. Coastal highway has precise wolf patrol routes you can time - theyll pass the quonset garage area roughly every 3 hours which creates perfect bow hunting opportunities when paired with deer movement patterns.

The broken railroad hunting lodge serves as an ideal timing hub since you can track multiple spawn cycles from there wolves appear in 4-hour intervals along the tracks while deer herds move through specific corridors every 6 hours. Mountain town stands out for early-game precision hunting with rabbit snares - place them along the houses eastern fences where spawn times are consistent and wolves rarely patrol. The key is matching your hunting schedule to these reliable patterns rather than just wandering around good to know that animals need about 72 hours to respawn after being harvested so rotating between these zones on a 3-day cycle keeps resources sustainable.
