Information
Deer are non-aggressive and will run from the player if he/she gets too close. Wolves will chase and attack deer near them. Wolves will also consume their carcass meat, leaving little for the player to harvest if given enough feeding time.
Their meat, hide, and gut can be harvested from their carcasses, and they can yield many kilograms (about 10kg at most) of meat. The player can kill deer using a Hunting Rifle, however a near miss will cause them to run in panic for a few moments.
