Twelve Deer Heads are found across all the regions you can explore in , offering a rare collection of rewards for those who discover each location of these trophies. Tracking down each of these hunting prizes gives you insight into the mindset of Saga Anderson, the character you embody for most of the game. You may have to use special items to get into the various buildings that have Deer Heads in their decoration.
Unlike collectibles like Nursery Rhymes and Cult Stashes in , there are no puzzles you need to solve to earn the rewards tied to Deer Heads. Unfortunately, since these trophies don't count as items to pick up, they do not appear on your map when you reveal different markers from Ranger or Witchfinder Stations. Every elk body part is thankfully inside a building or structure to explore instead of deep within the woods.

Only three Deer Heads are in Cauldron Lake, the first major area you explore in when you begin to investigate the murders in the region. You may stumble across one accidentally while entering one of the many cabins dotting the forest here without knowing it's part of a set. These trophies bear a striking resemblance to the masks worn by Cult enemies seen throughout the game, offering some sort of connection.
Some Deer Heads may only be found after you have made progress through the story and collected items that can unlock new areas, like the Bolt Cutters or Screwdriver in .
