White-tailed Deer

The pulse of the Leonida wilderness.

Field Notes

PRIMARY PREY

Found abundantly in rural zones. Excellent food source.

The White-tailed Deer(and the male Buck) serve as the backbone of the hunting ecosystem in GTA 6. If the mechanics follow Red Dead Redemption 2 , these animals will require stealth and scent masking to hunt effectively.

However, for the average player, they are best known as "hood ornaments." Deer in Leonida have a tendency to sprint across highways at dawn and dusk, causing massive accidents for speeding supercars.
