How to unlock the Field cook achievement in DayZ - Definitive Guide

Items required:
- Firewood, from cutting down a tree;
- Kindling, like rags (from cutting up clothes) or paper (from ammo boxes);
- Matches or hand drill;
- Long stick, from cutting down a bush;
- Venison steak, from killing a deer/buck.

Guide:
First thing to do is go hunting. I've tried all sorts of animals (chicken, boar, wolves) but they all don't make the achievement pop. The only animal which will make this achievement pop is a deer/buck. After killing it (easily found north-west and south-west of Devil's Castle) go and skin it. Take the meat, which will be the Venison steak.

Next make a fireplace by combining the firewood and kindling. Light this up with the matches. Combine your long stick with the Venison steak and roast the meat on your created fireplace. After a full circle the Venison stick changes color and the achievement will unlock.

It is required to hunt an actual male deer? Cause I just got a female one and cooked the meat but achievement didn't pop at all, not even the other one for using the knife to get the meat. 😞 Also tried with Wolf meat but same result. Any advise? I should keep trying looking for more male deer or other animals?

Edit: Just tried with chicken meat and nothing. I didn't realise until now that I still had one more last piece of Venison meat from yesterday on my backpack placed on another longstick, so I tried with that one again and inmediately the trophy popped without issues finally. 😁

I think this may have changed with the last patch, i was cooking chicken last night and the first piece after cooking it for one cycle made the achievement pop for me.

Go hunting? Hunting with what? Our hands? Just run at a deer?
Devil's Castle? What is that? Is there a map? No.
Northwest or southwest? Is there a compass? No.
How do you combine the items to create a fire, or put meat on a stick? What buttons do we press on the controller to do these steps? This is a guide (attempted), right? Wrong!

This achievement is definitely possible to do with chicken steak. To get this achievement, you need:

- Sharpend Stick (A long stick that was sharpend by a knife, machete, etc)
- Steak (From a deer but chicken works too!)
- Rags (Players start with rags)
- Wood (Firewood, long stick, short stick, pretty much any wood)
- Matches (Hand Drill and Road Flares work too!)

Craft the rags and wood into a campfire. Light the campfire using the matches (or hand drill or road flare). With the sharpend stick in hand, find the steak in your inventory, and hit the Y button to Equip. This creates the stick with the meet. Sit at your lit campfire and wait for a full rotation of the circle thing around your dot in the center of the screen. After the circle repeats, the achievement should unlock within seconds

Get everything you need to make a fire and start a fire (See the trophy tip “I'm the firestarter” ).
Kill a deer to get its meat, after the Natural instincts trophy you must leave at least one of the steaks for this trophy.
Attention: Although it is not indicated in the description, it is venison steaks that are needed for the trophy. Any other animal is not suitable for meat and the trophy will not drop.

To complete the trophy you need to get the “Long Stick”. Pick up a knife (when you respawn, you have a stone knife in your inventory) and go to any bush, after which the action on R2 “Cut the bush” will appear. Sometimes you need to cut more than one bush to get a long wooden stick. Picking up a long stick point to the steak in your inventory and click to put the meat on a stick. Then go to the burning fire and, holding R2, fry the meat until cooked.
