Fabled furs: only level-10 animals of Moose, Black Bear, Whitetail Deer, Red Fox, Ring-Necked Pheasant can carry a Fabled fur. Glass every herd for top-level animals.
Diamonds: only take max-level animals when chasing trophies, use in-class ammo, and make a clean one-shot kill to keep the harvest bonus.
