The hunting mechanics in Masters of Raana entail a lot of different aspects that a survivalist must take into consideration.
Finding a good spot
A red antlers 
or pelt 
icon indicates that there is a hunting location. Each location is unique with its own set of texts, events and skill prerequisites. It might take some exploration before you find that perfect spot best suited for your playstyle.
Available hunting locations
- The Wetlands (large game)
- Imogen's Barrow (large game)
- Avonmore Island (small game, quest-locked)
- Corazon jungles (small game, quest-locked)
- Blackfang valley (large game, if player has defeated local charucks)
Animal pool
Each spot has a unique pool that tells the area's abundance or scarcity when it comes to huntable game. A low value (2 or below) means a hunter suffers a severe penalty in all his tracking attempts (Survival skill). However, an area with an animal pool of 8 or higher means that the forests are rich with beasts, providing the player with a noticeable chance bonus instead.
The animal pool usually replenishes with up to one point per day. Pools cap between 6-9.

- Knife: carrying a knife with you will increase your Yield of Skins & Pelts by +1 (it need not be equipped).
Hunting methods
- Search prey: greater success chance during rainy days, lower success chance during sunny days, greater success chance right before dusk, lower success when hunting small game (pelts).
- Stand hunting: lower success chance during rainy days, greater success chance right after dawn, greater success when hunting small game.
- Decoy: greater success chance during warm and sunny days.

- +10 if your chosen hunting spot is nearly untouched; -10 if it is nearly depleted.
Yields
Hunting provides you with skins 
, pelts 
and raw meat 
that you'll be able to either refine or sell directly to vendors.
The yield varies according to time, place and method, but is not affected by the success chance or roll. Yield is increased if the MC has the Wildborn trait, and if they are accompanied by a follower with the Jaeger trait. Yield of Skins & Pelts is increased if using Crossbows but decreased if using Shotguns.
Other benefits
Hunting attempts (if successful), will also increase your assigned Followers' hunting (Survival) skills by +1 (cap: 80). They also have a smaller chance to increase the MC's Survival skill (cap: 80), and Stealth skill (cap: 40).
