They look incredible!

Hirschfelden (C tier) I love the scenery, and I love the species. Only reason I have it in C is because you can hunt everything on other reserves easier (Except Euro Bison)

Layton Lakes (B tier) I LOVE the North-American reserves. I love the Roosevelt elk and Moose hunting on Layton. But the scenery is a bit boring so it gets a B tier.

Med-ved (B tier) Big fan of the OG snow map. Great Moose map and the Brown bears are a really fun addition, also I love the Capercaillie and it’s always funny when they sneak up on you and attack you. B tier because of how often Reindeer troll and how little species there are on the map.

Vurhonga Savanna (E tier) As a South African, the map doesn’t excite me anymore. The animal models are.. bad and the map is honestly a bit ugly.

Parque Fernando (E tier) You can hunt everything on a different map (except for Cinnamon Teal) easier and more fun. The lakes are huge and difficult to navigate. So not a big fan.

Yukon Valley (S tier) I have literally 0 complaint with this map. Alaskan maps in games have always been my favourites. A lot of fun big game hunting opportunities. Harlequin ducks are very fun to hunt and the map itself is absolutely gorgeous. Dynamic weather is cool too. 10/10 reserve.

Cuatro Collinas (D tier) Map is kinda ugly, the Ibex are ugly, same with Iberian wolves. Only reason I’ve been there as of recent was to grind the Roe Deer, but I’m moving back to Torr nan Sithean.

SRP (A tier) I like SRP quite a lot. Again, big fan of the North American animals and this one certainly has a lot of them. Beautiful valleys and mountains ranges. Only reason it’s not in S tier is because of the lack of small game. (Add coyotes, Red Fox and Badgers and the map is a 10/10 S tier.)

Te Awaroa (B tier) Maybe a bit low for a map like Te, but for me there’s not a proper reason to visit it other than grinding. Chamois are very cool though.

Rancho Del Arroyo (D tier) Rancho isn’t bad tbh. The recent Desert Bighorn are pretty cool. But the lakes. The lakes are so damn big and are a painn to navigate. The Whitetail were fun back in the day but I’m not a big fan of them atm.

Mississippi Acres (D tier) Map is visually hideous and I don’t really like the river. Only reason I don’t have it at the bottom is because of the cotton fields. I love hunting the fields so much. Quail, Raccoons, Gray fox etc, blasting them with the .22 hornet or a shotgun is incredibly entertaining.

Revontuli Coast (A tier) I adore bird hunting. The island is such a great spot to hunt birds with constant action. Great whitetail map, great moose map. Terrain is just a bit miserable.

NEM (C tier) I love the terrain, love the species. The creeks are a pain though. I checked my fox pops once and it was incredibly miserable.

Emerald Coast (E tier) Most overrated reserve in my opinion. Map isn’t the most pretty (imo) and I’m not a huge fan of the species list.

Sundarpatan (C tier) Not much wrong with the map. I’m just not a fan of the south. The animals are great and I especially love Muntjac but it’s very brushy and I don’t especially like the Tiger Jumpscares. The North of the map is quite fun though.

Salzwiesen (A tier) Again, I love waterfowl and birds. Salz is my fifth favourite map overall. Only reason it’s not in S tier is because of the size of the map, and I feel like Roe Deer could be great. Also bonus points because I got my one and only SR on this map 😉

Askiy Ridge (S tier) Absolutely perfect map. The snow is beautiful, the species list is incredible. I’ve spent countless hours on this reserve. And still enjoy it. Beavers are amazing, wolves are very cool, Wood Bison have the coolest rares, I can go on for ages lol.

Torr nan Sithean (A tier) Very fun small game hunting map and the Boar hunting on Scotland is great. I’ve gotten a bunch of sick rares on this map and the rolling hills and the heather are stunning.

Lmk what yall think of my list, and I’d love to see your lists too!
