Connor hunting an elk.

Hunting is the practice of tracking and killing wildlife for various purposes, such as the collection of meat or skins.

The Assassin Connor Kenway hunted animals similarly to assassination targets, tracking and trapping several kinds that he encountered across the Frontier.

For Connor to track his chosen prey he would use his eagle vision, keeping a watch out for a broken branch or nibbled leaves.

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 a single strike from a bow or blade, the skin had a higher economic value, since bullets from a firearm would damage the pelt.

Hunting was both a lifestyle and a sport in the Frontier, so much so that the Hunting Club was one of the many factions during the American Revolutionary War. The club would invite skilled hunters such as Connor to join their ranks, and would commonly request them to hunt rare animals.

After killing an animal you must skin it for it's pelt; leaving an animal unskined would result in complete loss of synchronization with Connor and you could be ejected from the animus.
