What if you could learn and perform different animal calls to attract or repel certain animals based on your survival skill? Would be nice to be able to attract a moose within so many tiles instead of trying to track one down. same for a bear or a turkey, etc.
Or maybe instead of an ‘animal call function’, it could just be a craft-able item of some sort(mating calls, pherimones, etc.). I don’t know a LOT about hunting, but it seems like you could find stuff like that at a sporting good store or as starting equipment for a bow hunter if nothing else.
