You have chosen the role of the hunter/gatherer. You will use your stealth and patience to hunt for food sources such as wild game and fish. You may also be in search of berries and shrubs that are edible for your group.
As you explore the geology of the five different physiographic provinces of Virginia, you will be looking for an environment that can provide ample sources of food for your group. You might want to consider questions such as these examples: What type of wildlife will you choose as the best food source? What type of habitat will this food source thrive in? Will you have more advantages looking for food near coastal water ways, thick forests, or within high and rugged mountains? What are some of the challenges that you expect to face on your hunts, and which province will reduce those threats?
Take a moment to view this map made by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Examine the areas that will offer the most species richness. This may or may not impact your decision when choosing a province to establish your new home. http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/gis/moms/june2003/spprich_MOM_web.jpg
Virginia is rich with habitat diversity. You will encounter sandy beaches, wet marshes, meandering rivers, thick forests, rolling hills, and uplifted mountains.
Which area offers the best hunting strategy in your opinion?
