Compendium

The American Bison is native to the plains of New Hanover and West Elizabeth. As a herbivore, it grazes on grains, hay, and corn. Due to the size of an average bison, high powered weapons like a Carcano Rifle, or a Bow with Improved Arrows, should also be considered when hunting. Bison meat can be used for cooking.^[1]

Tips

A rifle (non-sighted or scoped) is recommended to hunt the bison.
The player can cook the Prime Beef Joint meal from the bison's hunted goods.
