| '''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.

| During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] and other [[Piracy|pirates]] tracked and hunted whales and sharks for various purposes, such as meat and oil production. Edward would harpoon at known whale locations using the ''[[Jackdaw]]'''s whaleboat. He also hunted several species of terrestrial animal present on the islands and in the cities of the [[Caribbean]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

| 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>

| |
| 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"/>

| |
| Edward's grandson [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] 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"/>
| |
|
| |
| 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]], Ratonhnhaké:ton was rewarded with mementos for his bedroom at the [[Davenport Homestead]] after completion.<ref name="AC3"/>
| |
|
| |
| The following animals could be hunted in the Frontier and the Davenport Homestead:
| |
| ;Predators
| |
| *[[Bears]]
| |
| *[[Cougars]]
| |
| *[[Wolves]]
| |
| *[[Bobcats]]
| |
| *[[Foxes]]

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *If a predator killed another animal, that animal could be skinned. However if another character killed an animal, it could also be skinned, though the spoils would be damaged.
| |
| *While in the [[Animus]], if [[Desmond Miles]] killed too many animals without skinning them as Connor did, it would cause him to [[Synchronization|desynchronize]]. Also, killing domesticated animals such as pigs and chickens would count the same as killing a civilian.
| |
| *According to [[George Washington]]'s [[George Washington's journal|journal]], he once witnessed Connor hunting outside of [[Valley Forge]]. While both men were following a male elk, the Assassin managed to bring the animal down with a single arrow. While this is possible in-game, killing an elk with the bow usually requires at least two arrows.
