Realistic animal loot. More options for clean kills. Varmint rifle as alternative to small game arrows.
REALISTIC CLEAN KILLS
Did you ever realize how stupid it is to hunt sparrows with a bow? In XIX century people already shot small birds by airguns, flobert guns and .22 caliber guns (which is ingame varmint rifle). So here’s the deal: lets consider varmint rifle as small & very small game rifle! And .22 caliber as alternative to small game arrows. Now small birds, squirrels etc can stay in perfect condition if killed from a varmint rifle. Because again, hunting sparrows with a bow is a business for retards (or perverts)!
Who said that revolver is bad for hunting?! Not so bad if you are good in aiming. Pistol too. Now a one shot kill medium sized animals from revolver or pistol is equal to a clean kill from repeater. So grab your good old schofield (or fancy new mauser) and go hunt some coyotes or beavers.
Large animals, such as deer, now can be clean killed from revolver, repeater or shotgun slug.
===Optional === Pistol, Revolver and Two Smoking Barrels (funny, non-realistic) ===Optional ===
Want to diverse your hunting experience? Okay, lets see what else I can offer.
Pistol. Pistol as an addition to varmint and small game arrows. Some competent people may know how weak was Volcanic pistol in reality, and may refuse to use it because of this immersion-spoiling reason or whatever. So if you are such person then I found the solution for you! We can consider Volcanic (or any other pistol) as a small game hunting gun, why not, it’s a free country! Sounds good? Here you go.
UPD v2.1:
Revolver. If we did that with pistols, what stops us from do the same with revolvers? – Common sense and sober mind! Nothing!
Shotgun. You know what, lets have a party! Hunting birds with a shotgun. Just admit, you wanted it! Now you have it.
Also added possibility to deal clean shots in body non-specified area (guts etc).

Wolves now dont contain meat. Except legendary – their meat is stringy meat (for you could taste your stinky legendary trophy).
Removed meat
Vultures, Condors, Wolves, Toads are not contain any meat (toxic, unedible).
Meat type changes can start working not instantly, but after a while (after game reloads few times).
Plumes for Algernon’s quest (optional)
Let me remind you, there are orders for 15, 20 and 30 bird plumes. So you will need to kill 65 birds for reward that is not worth your time. If you want to complete this quest without total bird genocide in Bayou, here’s the solution.
Changes of plumes amount per bird:
Egret plumes: 2 pieces from perfect.
Heron plumes: 2 from good and perfect.
Spoonbill plumes: 1-3 depending of quality.
INSTALLATION

FAQ, Possible questions
Why did you remove X animal meat, it COULD be edible in extremal situations!1!1 – We do not have such situations ingame. Removed X animal’s meat is not good even for predators bait, it smells bad even for them.
Why not to set 10 pieces of meat from big animals? – for technical reasons.
Meat type is not changed for me! – Save your game with mod installed, quit to desktop, launch the game.
Why not to set perfect kill by bullet in body non-specified area? – Because it can spoil quality of pelt, aaand because it can spoil quality of meat by splashing shit from intestines inside the body! Yummy!
