How to unlock the Waste Not, Want Not achievement in The Long Dark - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you must fully harvest ten complete deer carcasses.

Hunting deer with a rifle is the easiest way to get this, as it is by far the easiest way to bring down a deer. You can hunt them with the bow as well, but I found that far more difficult with the arrow drop over distance, and the fact that (at least on lower skill levels) you must be standing upright to loose an arrow. This means you'll have to hunt them from farther away than with the rifle.

Deer carcasses can also be found in certain locations on most (all?) maps. Look and listen for crows, as they are a telltale sign of a carcass nearby. More often than not, the body is human, but occasionally you'll find a dead deer.

Frozen deer carcasses provide far less meat, and may not always tally as a deer carcass fully harvested. Your best bet is to hunt them and harvest the kill immediately.

Do this ten times, and it should pop.

When an animal is dead, you can Harvest it with a knife or hatchet. Do this to 10 Deer to get the trophy. You can kill Deer with a bow or rifle but the ones killed by wolves, also count.

You need to collect 2 intestines, a skin and all the meat from a dead deer. So 10 times. It works with any carcass, even those you found on the street, so it is not necessary to kill deer to get a trophy.
