No need crafting during a mission, just make sure you stock up on tonics etc before starting a mission, bit of battle prep goes a long way. Or set up your mini camp if there isn't some forced scene at beginning of mission. Agree with you on the requirements to get gold medals though. Definately should be shown beforehand, not after. I've never been in the menus in detail during a mission though , maybe there's something in there. I'll look later.

Just found my second one. To find the map I used the tracking mode and it showed stranger footsteps leading to the map. I didn't realise that when I found the first one.

I flick between the eagle eye where it shows the line then swap to the footprints one and back to the line one most of the time. Took a bit of getting used to it. Different animals seem to be sensitive to your distance from them. Rabbits are the bane of my existence in this game. Hated that second hunter challenge. Always go for a head shot, just a matter of positioning yourself right, try and find the higher ground helps.

I think that's the one where you have to track 10 different species with binoculars. When you use them and have an animal in your sights press the button that selects "Track". It's triangle on PS4 or Y on Xbox.
