All 15 Animals on Salzwiesen Park

Every species on the reserve, heaviest class first. Each card shows the class, the hardest difficulty it can reach, the diamond threshold, any Great One, and the published feed, drink and rest times. For full trophy data see our animals page.

Need-zone times are the published in-game windows (24-hour clock). Zone locations differ between saves, so find and mark your own.

Trophy Thresholds on Salzwiesen Park

• Work the drink zones. Most species here have a published drink window (see the cards above). Sit near water in that window, downwind, and let the animals come to you.
• Bird hunting: Black Grouse, Eurasian Teal, Eurasian Wigeon, Ferruginous Duck, Gadwall, Greylag Goose, Mallard, Ring-Necked Pheasant, Tufted Duck, Tundra Bean Goose live here. Bring a shotgun with birdshot, and use decoys and callers where you can.
• Fabled furs: only level-10 animals of 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.
