The moment is here at last. Fallow Deer are live on Hirschfelden, where you will find them all over the map.
Trophy Poses and Scent Spray are available in the store, with Reindeer Rattle now becoming a Deer Rattle that attracts Fallow bucks as well as Reindeer bulls. Look forward to the Fallow Deer Missions and competitions soon.
As always, please report any bugs to us so we can squash them quickly.
And check out this video from HooCairs to get a leg up on your hunting:
For those of you hoping we'll tell you what's releasing next, after this experience, we're never doing that again. Doc was right, it's better to maintain an air of mystery.
Happy Hunting!
Game Update
Howdy hunters!
Starting today, the EHR Community League will be replacing our current weekend competition format.
Every Friday, hunt a different animal in the assigned reserve (animals hunted outside that reserve won't count). You have a full week and 7 attempts to make an entry. The competition is activated and deactivated like usual. For the week that an animal is being hunted, all regular competitions dedicated to that animal will be suspended. And yes, sales will now run for a full week. Rewards per League Competition will match the weekend competitions they're replacing.
Events will not be affected by the League.
All competitions will be Single Player only except any Duck or Goose competition.
Every 4 weeks, we go to a new reserve, and every 3 reserves is a Season.
You do not have to participate in every single League Competition to qualify for the monthly or Season prizes, but there are obvious advantages to throwing your hat in the ring as often as you can.
Scoring
Each week, the top 10 players in the week-long competition are awarded 10 to 1 points based on their place in the competition (1st gets 10, and so on). Competitions, of course, have their own trophies and em$ as per usual.
At the end of the 4th week, the top 3 Players with the most points in that reserve win a snazzy Reserve Jacket (with working camo), a trophy, and some em$. Yes, although your points go forward for the Season total, you get a fresh chance each month to win a Reserve Jacket.
After 3 months, the player with the most points wins the Season prize, a "Pro" jacket, a grand trophy, and even more em$. Runners up get em$ and bragging rights.
With the Season over, the points completely reset.
Then it starts all over again.
To start you off, it's Whitetail in Whitehart Island.
It's a little close to our Lunar event to follow up with a full Valentine on top of bug fixes and an unmentionable antlered beast, but don't think we're ignoring it entirely. For your playing pleasure this weekend, the normal weekend competition is replaced with 3 tiered competitions of the type you'd find in events BUT they will all run at the same time. Make sure you scroll through the competitions to find all 3 that you can enter for your tier. Single and Multiplayer, however you prefer to spend your Valentine's Day หsteamhappyห
We had a slight glitch early on, so make sure they're active before you play.
Find out what itโs all about and join the competition for a chance to win hefty prizes in em$!
Lunar New Year, that is. We were planning a surprise party since we've never done a Lunar New Year celebration before (surprise!) but it's been upset a bit. Perhaps you can help us sort it out? See, we spent ages cleaning, cooking, and setting up decorations in Val-des-Bois but something's gone ahead and ruined it all! The food vanished and the decorations are scattered all over the EHR. General Major Petersen thinks the Red Foxes had something to do with it, but Doc's blaming the Red Deer, so you'll find a Luck$ bounty on both species.
Well, the celebration's changed format but that's no reason not to enjoy ourselves, right? Come join us for a Mission and 3 tiered Comps!
Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The Hunter with the most Luck$ at the end of February 1st will win a generous first prize!
But before you rush on, there's been a slight change to how scoring animals work in Events. Animals that spawn specifically for missions will no longer count as scorers. No exceptions.
In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:
Please read on to familiarize yourself with the rules of the event.

Event Duration: 7 days
Start: 26th Jan 2022 (Wednesday) - morning

CAMPAIGN
Gather Luck$ for the New Year!
The more Luck$ you collect, the more in-game prizes you are rewarded. This is how the prize pool looks:
MISSION
This year's mission is called Save the Celebration
Hunter, we were planning a surprise celebration this year, the Lunar New Year. Unfortunately, everything is gone! The food is reduced to crumbs and the decorations have been scattered all over the EHR (all my cleaning *sobs*). Can you bag an animal from each reserve, please? We can't have our first Lunar New Year ruined by this prankster!
The mission will last through the event's duration from the 26th Jan to the 1st Feb.
Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:
COMPETITIONS
The event comes with three competitions each lasting 3 days!
Prizes for the competitions look like this:
Completing each competition in any place (just qualify!) will also award the hunter 100 Luck$ points.
Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:
RULES
What would a game be without rules?
We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.
In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.
SALES
We've got some festive sales for this event in the Store, including a juicy 50% discount on some Callers as well as 30% off a variety of weapons.
That's all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.
Enjoy all!
COMPETITION & SALES

Find out what itโs all about and join the competition for a chance to win bonza prizes in em$!
We've released a quick patch to sort out an issue that cropped up with resizing the game window. Our apologies to everyone who experienced the bug. หsteamfacepalmห
Game Update
Howdy, Hunters!
Happy release day! We've got a small update for you today, there's been something else taking up a lot of our attention. Let's not point fingers at a certain obtuse deer.
โ We've added two new tutorials added - Bow/Xbow + Tree Stand and Snow Geese + Retriever - where you can test every Bow and Crossbow and get a feel for fowling respectively. โ Plus a few bug fixes:
Sometimes there was a delay in communication with a server which caused 0.2 seconds of wound time for instant kills, which reduced the Harvest Value - it is fixed now.
The Confirm Kill screen was showing incorrect information about the reward for birds shot on the ground - fixed now.
A few minor fixes for existing missions and competitions.
