Where can I find animals?

[WatchOut (DayZ) 1]

Where are the best places to find animals (cows, boars, pigs, goats, etc)?

[lvg 1690]

Forests, hills and out in the open

Yer, you'll come across them eventually; I badly need to eat a cow or sheep but they're never around when you want them.

The time it takes you to find them in the hills, you will get dehydrated

Look in the open hills. That's where you find the goats, sheeps, cows the big game I call it.

An interesting spot is the area NE of the NW Airfield. I was approaching the airfield from the back (From Grishino towards the 6 hangars) and I saw 3 Goats on my way. But that area is dangerous as you know.

Animals are not that rare. Just traveling from town to town to gear up you will eventually find some animals. It will also give you enough food to survive until you find another one.

Just keep an eye in open areas.

PS: Rabbits and chickens are suposed to give food too, but only 1 meat. But It's better than nothing
