Player notes

Cletus Ewing texts Trevor Philips and asks him to come to Bayview Lodge in Paleto Forest. Trevor meets him at the lodge, where Cletus is preparing to hunt elk. He gives Trevor a deer call and takes him away from the road and into the forest, beginning a lesson in stalking game.

Trevor follows Cletus through Paleto Forest as Cletus explains how the wind can carry a hunter's scent to an elk. He also shows Trevor how the deer call can draw out nearby animals and warns him not to shoot antlerless deer, which are female. Cletus leads him to the first elk, and Trevor kills it without alerting the animal. Trevor then uses the call and the same hunting methods to take a second and third elk.

Cletus leaves after the third kill, but asks Trevor to find one more elk and send him a photograph of the carcass. Trevor calls in another animal, kills it, approaches the body and takes the picture. Once the photograph reaches Cletus, he calls Trevor and proposes that Trevor keep hunting and send him pictures so he can sell the meat. Trevor says he has other matters to deal with, but will consider it.

Trivia

  • โ—†Completing this optional side mission unlocks the sniper rifle at Ammu-Nation. If the mission is not completed, Trevor has to complete Nervous Ron and Trevor Philips Industries before gaining access to the weapon.
  • โ—†The game assumes that the player has a general understanding of hunting as it never explicitly tells the player to aim for the heart, although Cletus is shown to be impressed with heart shots which may somewhat act as an indicator.
  • โ—†This is the final physical appearance of Cletus, who will only return via text messages during Hunting or upon completing Caida Libre.
  • โ—†A cougar can spawn when Cletus is guiding you into the forest, and can attack and kill you, resulting in a mission failure. Occasionally, a cougar may also be seen prowling and chasing NPC characters at the lodge when Trevor pulls up. Approaching Cletus and triggering the initial cutscene prevents the cougar from attacking.
