King Introduction

Member of the Early Game Warden Team

Lurcan, or "King," as he's known among hunters, is a Mule Deer expert and a private contractor. He's got a generally positive attitude, valuing honorable hunts... and profits. However, King is realistic about the Reserve's politics: much of his work involves cleaning up mistakes and messes made by wealthy but unskilled hunters. He sees himself, then, as a sort of ironically questionable, tainted "Knight" of the EHR.

MISSIONS

Mule Deer Missions

Private contractor, "King" Lurcan Gong, wants your help with culling the exploding Mule Deer population in EHR.

First Mule Deer Hi there; Lurcan is the name but most people call me "King.” I don't know why, really, so don't ask. Anyway, I hear you’re looking for opportunities to bag some Mule Deer. Well, you're in for a real treat. The Mule Deer is maybe not the most widespread species in the Evergreens. But there are enough of them to cause all sorts of trouble. Before we get into that, though, you'll have to show me you've got what it takes. Try tracking a Mule Deer buck, then make a spot and a clean kill. And I mean clean. Those things get winged and they're off somewhere in the scrub and you'll never find them again! Let’s see how you get on with that.
A Longer Range Not bad, not bad at all. But you'll have to pass another test before I'm confident in you. The Greens can be a pretty rough neighborhood and one needs to select associates... carefully. It's time to test your marksmanship. Bag me a Mule Deer buck from at least 150 feet and we're golden.
More Points All right, you're okay. Time for business. Got an order for a six point Mule Deer rack from a fellow of the "honorable" EHRCA. Apparently this hotshot has a son that's going through some sort of initiation rite of theirs. Thing is, he needs to bag this six-pointer to pass, but he'd rather stay home with his video games. Seriously embarrassing for Dad, right? That's where we step in... All valiant knights in stained armor. Let's go bag some Mule Deer!
Big Haul The knights deliver. No rest for the wicked though, and God knows we are... Another quest on the horizon. This time it's a proper maiden in distress. Well, maybe not entirely proper... It's Monica. You know, that spiritual thing that runs the Wine and something. She’s proclaimed some sort of 'Wine and Mulie Dine' weekend... of course, without the Mule Deer meat for it. We ride again, my friend. We need at least three bucks weighing two hundred pounds or more. May the best knight win!
Extreme Range That was a lot of work, but totally worth it... Sorry... got a bit... dreamy there. We've got another job in the pipe. Pretty special arrangement this time. Remember that video gaming kid? Well it didn't really work out as planned, someone called his bluff and they're now asking to see him shoot deer live. Naturally he can't hit a barn from ten yards so Dad called for the knights. The plan is to fire at the exact same moment as the kid, hiding in the bushes about four hundred fifty feet from the target. I will take the shot myself but I need you to pave the way. Get out there and take a Mule Deer buck with a shot from at least four hundred fifty feet and report weapons settings and conditions back to me.
Even Closer... Well, that went beyond expectations. The kid is now some sort of EHRCA hero courtesy of the stained knights. I think we've earned some vacation. Let's go out there and take a buck each just for fun. The closest shot wins!
Points o' Plenty Sixty feet? You're crazy, man. I rarely get within eighty. Well we've got another job. Another rack; ten points this time. EHRCA official of course, looking for another office decoration. Sometimes I wonder if these guys ever hunt for real...
Concerto Now that wasn't too hard now, was it? Okay, maybe somewhat; ten-pointers don't grow on trees. All that hard work earned us another break. A concerto perhaps, suitable for people with stained armor... Evergreen is playing. May the one that identifies a Mule Deer buck and a Mule Deer doe call first claim honor and free beverages for all!
Chasin' Tail I can't believe it! Only does singing the whole day. Why did you get all the bucks? Oh well, can't win ‘em all, I suppose. We've got another assignment, official this time. The EHRCA is holding a party, of sorts, and wants to finish it up with a major Mule Deer cull. Problem is they are too busy with the celebrations to bother with locating prey. That's where we come in. We locate the tracks from a herd and give them the location. Shouldn't be too hard; once we've found tracks from three different animals within five minutes, we’ll know we have a herd.
270 Degree Angle Job well done! The EHRCA party was a major success. We've earned another break and a chance for me to break your ridiculous winning streak. This is where you're going down. A Mule Deer buck from at least two hundred seventy feet, using the .270 rifle. Let the games begin.
Easy Does It That's it, no more breaks. I'm tired of being humiliated. There is no honor to be gained by competing with one as superior as you, my lord. Let's just focus on the next assignment. There have been an increasing number of road accidents involving Mule Deer does lately. The officials want us to trim the population. Four each should do it. To make it a bit more entertaining I suggest we use .44 Magnum Revolvers only. Grab your sneaking shoes. For honor, and proper compensation!
5 From Above Well well, turns out our eight does weren't enough. The officials want us to take another ten. Both bucks and does this time. They are getting a bit paranoid about their contractors, though. Now they are insisting that we stay in hunting towers at all times so they can keep an eye on us... I guess I shouldn't have borrowed all that juicy .44 ammo during the last mission. If you bring a caller and some scent it shouldn't be an issue though. The knights ride again!
