Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Once you have completed the story mission in sequence 4 – Hunting Lessons, you will be able to track, trap, hunt, kill and skin animals. You will see many of these animals wandering around as you explore the frontier and by killing and skinning them you will obtain furs and other animal products that can be sold to earn a little money.

Once you have killed and skinned a few animals you will be invited to join the Hunters Society. There are a number of Hunter’s Society side-missions and challenges to engage in.
The Hunting Society side-Missions 

To begin the Hunter’s Society side-missions you must first locate one of the hunting lodges hidden away in the frontier. Although the game indicates plural when it talks about the lodges, I was only able to find one. It is found in a fairly remote location in Black Creek.

Update, another has been located in troy’s Wood!

Here is where you can find them:

Black Creek – Look at your hunting map. This lodge is located at the Eastern end of the Black Creek hunting region, close to where the Kanien:keh, Diamond Basin and Black Creek boundaries meet.

Troy’s wood – Walk directly north from Fort St Mathieu in the Scotch plains until you reach a river. Swim to the other side and check out the easternmost building here. it is the hunter’s lodge.
Mission 1: The Man-eater:

You will find this bear on the south part of the western side of the Packanack region. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you find a clue, the search area will narrow. Once you have examined the third clue, you will have located a cave.

Make your way through the cave and you’ll see a couple of dead bodies. When you reach the large room with the bushes on the right, an indicator will appear here. Backtrack down towards the exit and pick up the body here, carry it back to the main room ad drop it where indicated. Hide in the bush nearby until the bear enters the room.

Exit the bush and kill the bear. You’ll need to undertake seven button prompts as they appear on the screen, as opposed to the normal four when taking down a bear. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge.
Mission 2: Feline Feet:

You will find this bobcat in the northern part of the Black Creek region, just to the north-west of Fort Duquesne. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you have examined the clue, the bobcat will appear behind you and run off.

You can either chase after him and become incredibly frustrated with being unable to catch him or alternatively, you can hit him with a ranged weapon as soon as he appears to take him out. Note that if you use poison darts, you will kill him without damaging his pelt.

When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge.

Mission 3: The Patriarch:

You will find this deer buck in the south-eastern part of the Kanien:keh region. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you have examined the clue, you will need to enter eagle vision to find the golden deer. This is your target.

In my game, I found the deer patrolling back and forward along a dirt path below a rocky outcropping. To kill the deer, I waited for it on the rocks above the path and air assassinated it as it walked by.

When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge.

Mission 4: The Pack Leader:

You will find the alpha wolf in the southern part of the Black Creek hunting region, directly to the south of Fort Duquesne. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and a pack of wolves will appear. In order to find the boss, kill three of the wolves in the area. This will lure out the alpha wolf.

Track down the black wolf marked with the red objective marker and kill him. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge.

Mission 5: Acute Cat:

You will find this deer buck in the Eastern part of the Kanien:keh region,just to the East of the village. Work your way to the top of the cliffs overlooking the river here. Work your way along the paths until you reach the objective marker.

Here you will find a green circle. Enter the green circle and you will find the target cougar. Kill him during the subsequent QTE. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge.
Mission 6: The Elk Bachelor:

You will find this Elk at the south-eastern end of the large lake in the Valley Forge hunting region. Here you will find a green circle. Enter the circle area and activate eagle vision to identify the golden target. Approach it and kill the elk.

When its dead, skin it and you are all done!

Now all that is left to 100% the Hunter’s Society is to complete the challenges for the club. These can be tracked from the logbook in the map menu.
