Survivalist challenge 6 not working! Help

[Turfy]

I'm currently on survivalist challenge 6, just killed 3 turkey vultures scavenging a dead deer. Right before that killed two boar scavenging another dead boar, but didnt get credit for any of them. What am I doing wrong?

I don't think boar are classified as scavenger animals in-game, are they? If so, try killing them right as they're in the process of eating from the corpse.

 They were definitely in the process of eating. Wouldn't any animal that eats dead things be considered a scavenger? I'm not sure either. I didnt get credit for the turkey vultures either and they are most definitely scavengers. I'm still at a loss but appreciate you taking the time to respond. I really want all the survivalist upgrades from the trapper. Lol

Not technically. We humans (well, most of us) eat dead animals all the time, but we aren't considered scavengers. Most animals in the wild will scavenge if the opportunity presents itself (hunting can be dangerous to a predator because it's entirely possible the predator can become injured in the process, lose its ability to hunt because of injury, and therefor starve to death), but that alone doesn't make one a scavenger. What I define to be a scavenger is any animal whose food source consists almost entirely of organisms, be they flora or fauna, which have died from causes other than predation. Vultures, raccoons, coyotes, flies, crows, etc. Feral pigs, on the other hand, do hunt prey when necessary.

Very good point. Turns out even though the game wasnt showing my kills as marked off, after the 7th kill (after restarting my console) it finally gave me credit and I'm on the next challenge.
