'''Hunting''' is the practice of tracking and killing wildlife for various purposes, such as the collection of meat or skins, as well as ingredients for the [[Crafting (Assassin's Creed III)|crafting]] of items.<br />

==North America==<br />
Hunting was a fundamental part of the culture for the Native [[North America]]ns and [[Europe]]an colonists, with the activity becoming a common source of contact between them. It provided food for isolated towns in the [[Frontier]], and was a lucrative way to make money at [[general stores]]. Colonization in the Frontier increased partially because of demand in [[United Kingdom|England]] and [[France]] for fur pelts. In 1770, several trappers, including {{Wiki|Simon Girty}}, founded the {{Wiki|New England}} Hunting Society, which provided cabins for hunters to share during hunting season.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Though animals could be hunted in a variety of ways, the quality of the kill affected the price one could fetch for the skin. For an animal killed with [[snares]], [[bow]] and arrow or [[Hidden Blade|blade]], the skin had a higher [[Economic system|economic]] value, since bullets from a [[Firearms|firearm]] or the [[Rope darts|rope dart]] would damage the pelt.<ref name="AC3"/><br />

Edward's grandson, [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] hunted animals similarly to assassination targets, tracking and trapping several kinds that he encountered across the Frontier. As a member of the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]], he respected nature. He would kneel next to the carcass of a fallen prey and say "''Niá:wen''", which translates into "thank you", before skinning it.<ref name="AC3"/><br />
<br />
He eventually joined the New England Hunting Society, which had become a club for hunters to boast about their kills. By hunting infamous animals like [[The Elk Bachelor|King Edward the Elk]], and threats to settlers like a [[The Man-Eater|man-eating bear]], Connor was rewarded with mementos for his bedroom at the [[Davenport Homestead]] after completion.<ref name="AC3"/><br />

;Predators<br />
