Bighorners of the Eastern Virgin

Bighorners of the Eastern Virgin is a side quest in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Honest Hearts.

Synopsis
A bighorner calf has gotten lost in the Eastern Virgin; given the communal nature of bighorners, they may stampede into the Dead Horses camp if it is not found soon.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Talk to Follows-Chalk about the local wildlife.
 * 2) Navigate the canyons above the Dead Horses camp and find the lost calf back.
 * 3) Feed the lost calf a total of three banana yucca fruits along the way to lead the calf back to its mother.
 * 4) (Optional) Do not kill any bighorners along the way.

Behind the scenes

 * At one point in development, the Bighorner Calf was going to be an item the player just put into their inventory. This likely made the quest completely trivial from a design perspective and was changed before release to the current version. The only asset left from when this implementation of the quest is a single icon that was left in Honest Hearts BSA.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the calf will not follow you even if you offer it banana yucca fruit. Also, upon completion, the mother may still remain hostile to you.
 * Sometimes the calf will become stuck in the last rock bridge you have to cross before reaching the bighorner mother. Reloading an old save and trying again has worked to circumvent this. Although if the calf gets stuck in the rock you can still return it to the bighorner mother.
