It didn't give me much help. Anyone have a "favorite spot"...I'm trying to get large/small antlers...and of course just for the fun of it too

Pretty much just running anywhere outside of cities. Outside of whiterun is good and barely any trees. I see deer, foxes, etc everywhere running out in the wilderness. I know this isn't specific but it's what I do. Don't fast travel very much and you can find a lot of stuff.

West side of WhiteRun is good.

Okey dokey, thanks

Yeah, I agree: the plains west of Whiterun is a good spot for archery. Hope you're good enough with a bow to kill deer in one shot, though. If you aren't, try using a persistent poison of some sort, so you can run after them until they stop and/or die.

If you ever want leather, all of the companion radiant quests once you become the Harbinger, are killing animals in a house, or cave or something like that. At least all the ones I've seen. Get lots of leather.

Yes, west of Whiterun is a good spot if you don't like trees getting in the way.


I also hunt west and north of Riften... well pretty much all around Riften to be honest. There are trees but it's not dense like some other parts of Skyrim. Lots of bears though... but then again, you could hunt bears

I know that the deadlands region in the Riften area tend to have a few bears, sabre cats, and deer. Also has a giant camp and is near where a dragon will be found once they start to appear in Skyrim.

Plenty of craggy rock areas that enable you to easily kite whatever you're trying to kill.
