Changed list of weapons with which you can perfect kill a certain animal.
Hard to tell what’s behind some of the R* decisions on what animal goes into a which categorie, and bcoz of that the mod end result also has a few compromises. More on that - there’re 5 categories of animals sorted by it’s size: Small, Medium, Medium-Large, Large, Extra-Large.
Most of the animals match multiple categories which is reasonable but it’s questionable why some turned out in certain categories and others are not -
and can be hunted respectively - with certain weapons.
I personally was wondering why can’t I use slugs or repeater ammo to get a perfect duck, buck or a beaver pelt by a headshot. Now I can.
But the downside is that it’s now also possible to get a perfect Sparrow carcass with a slug, because Ducks are in the same categorie - Small Prey.
Thats dumb - hunting sparrows with a slug, just don’t do that. Though Loons are somehow in the Medium categorie.
And I thought duck and loon are pretty much the same size?! What the #FFFFF
But mostly I’m pleased with an outcome of the mod it's pretty balanced and changes following things besides already pointed above:
If a body part isn’t specified then there’s no ammo / weapon type that can make a perfect / clean damage. Mostly it concerns BODY parts.
This mod has no intention of making your hunt easier so avoid those areas / body parts when hunting.
E. g. Varmint / Arrow shot into bat's wing = no perfect pelt. Poison arrow into Deer's leg = a clean pelt. Body shot = no perfect pelt and etc.

GENERAL INFO ON ANIMAL LOOT
The amount of loot depends on an animal condition + your hunting skills and ofc a weapon choice.

Perfect quality bird + clean shot = 3 condor feathers + 3 flight feathers = 6 total

Poor quality bird + bad shot = 3 condor feathers + 3 flight feathers = 6 total
Perfect quality bird + clean shot = 5 condor feathers + 5 flight feathers = 10 total
