Should I save any of my hunting spoils?
Solution 1:
They are meant to be sold.
Although you'll meet random people out in the wild who want some hides, they'll just want to buy them from you.
However, if you complete the the Master Hunter and Survivalist Ambient Challenges to Rank 10, you'll be able to make vittles out of animal meat and tonics out of plants, respectively.
- Vittles refill your health and is identical to the Medicine.
- Tonics refill your dead eye meter and is identical to the Chewing Tobacco.
