Hunting encounters / campaign

The Exchange

Hello,
Does anyone have some rules they use other than Survival check to run hunting encounters? My group of players want to hunt/gather and live of the land. They want to capture rare beast and sell or train and sell them Pit fighter rings. I personal though this is a great idea but i have no real information on how to run something based on hunting. I am not a real hunter myself so i don't have anything to base it on. They even talked about trying to go whaling which will be funny if they really try. None of them think swim is important. Any help or links to information based on running a hunt base encounter or campaign would be welcomed.


Just find Stats for animals like Elk and such and have them use a combat style encounter with those. It makes Vital Strike and things that boost damage handy.

When they get a kill have them make a Profession(Cooking) or Craft(Cooking) check to prepare the meat. Survival can be used for things like berries and such.

Maybe allow them to retrieve the arrow if the arrow knocks the beast unconscious or kills it outright.

Have a Survival Check to follow tracks (or allow in game knowledge: one player may hunt in real life) then have the rogue make a stealth check with a crossbow handy. Fram!
