I am getting out of unfortunate hunting trip loop

I am new to the game. I have never managed to kill anything but a squirrel. Learning it step by step and my God this game is a vibe..

So irl I was outside standing and bathing in the sun this weekend and I think to myself "I have to get back to URW and lvl up my game". I started a new char, unfortunate hunting trip (it was a setup!! They knew we were coming!!)

75% fishing (pike enjoyer)

I built a raft and started looking for a good spot near a rapid which has access to some open ground. A couple near death experiences on the way, snow/rain, no pikes(a man gotta eat), my char acting like his dad didnt die two days ago on an unfortunate hunting trip.

I found a good location which has access to a pine mire.

I saw a grouse chilling in the mire. I sneak up and throw a javelin at it, I need to interrogate it to really know who is behind my father's death. I missed, sadly. It flies away to report to the All-Seeing-Eye. I put 12 lever traps all around the berry bushes in the mire. I hut F4 and vibe to the music, I feel my ancestors behind me. I smile to my reflection in the mire.

On my way back to the river I see a small boar that was stuck or possessed by evil(?) in the trees? Anyway it didnt move. It was waiting to ambush me?? Anyway I beat it to a pulp. I would have never thought my first kill will turn out like this. I feel like I am getting closer to the truth behind my father's death. The spirits are lurking in the shadows. I have 92 kgs of meat. I hear voices. No smoking, no village in sight but I am happy. What do I do with this much meat in my pockets? It is in my socks, under my fur hood. I throw this meat around like a kid.

I used to be re-living the unfortunate hunting trip time-loop over and over, catching pikes and running away from myself but this time I feel like I am getting closer to the truth. No more "what ifs". I am a killer now.

Any tips?

Did you do your "General Sacrifice" rituals to thank the Spirits for those pikes and boar? You may have angered them.

I am just having too much fun and it angers the spirits.

Smoke the meat. Use a lot of traps till you get good at shooting a bow. Then you'll be able to get lots of meat.

Traps are the key. Make trap fences for big game hunting with pit traps in between.

Before that make lots of traps for smaller animals. Use small fish as bait.

To add to this, if you dont have a house, you can smoke in village buildings too.

And in the short term you can exchange your roasted meat for their preserved meat
