Siberian Wilderness - Final Coin Cache and Crafting Poison Arrows

To stalk prey, move slowly and quietly, hide behind cover or up on ledges when you can, and be patient. There are many birds and rabbits you can shoot in this area. After you kill them, loot their bodes for feathers and hide, respectively. If you're lucky you may spot a deer or stag. They roam around the forest but can sometimes be found bedded down near the abandoned encampment. I have not seen the stag during the phase when the red flare is lit, or later when other humans come on the scene. I suspect human activity frightens him away.

If you have unlocked the Animal Instincts skill, woodland creatures will glow when you press Survival Instinct, making them easier to target. Otherwise, just do your best.

Draw your bow (LT/Right Mouse).

Aim with the right stick or mouse. Press in on the right stick or press Z on the keyboard to zoom in. Then hold Fire (RT/Left Mouse) to charge your shot for more power. Release the Fire button to shoot, or if your target moves before you're ready, release the Aim button to cancel the shot.

One arrow will kill a rabbit or bird. A deer might require a headshot or more than one shot to the body since your first bow is not very powerful. If you don't immediately kill your prey...

...you'll need to track it...

...and finish it off.

Here an unsuspecting rabbit wanders into the crime scene and becomes a plump little side dish. Poor thing.

After killing an animal, approach its body and press Interact to gather resources.

This deer yields 2 pieces of hide plus antlers.

A rabbit only provides one hide.

If you manage to stalk and kill this rare stag, with his majestic rack...

...you'll get antlers as well as 2 exotic hides (the kind with the magic sparkles emanating from their icon)! If you don't manage to bag a stag in this early area, don't fret; there will be other opportunities.
