Having hunting seasons for the Enchanted Forest and the Deadwoods sound like an interesting system, especially since the Enchanted Forest was originally meant as the setting for the Gala events, but Regale's Glade seems like something that should remain as it is - only available to outsiders doing his or select monthly quests.
One thing I think would be cool, since we have Jackalopes as both a prey type AND a companion, would be to make the other Enchanted Forest animals, Deadwoods animals, and RQ level two animals into new companions. The Enchanted Forest / Deadwoods companions could be awarded as participation prizes during the area hunting seasons (depending on how those would end up being structured), and the RQ animals could be a bonus drop that are rolled for pieces that take place in the glade? Something like "Oh? This (insert animal) has taken a liking to (Ballator Name) and followed them home!" as flavor text without being required to equip them to that particular horse or something?
Also, since prey choices within the special regions are much more limited as opposed to regular hunting, maybe new Capes could be added to the prize pool that are redeemable for a region-themed blindbag import? Just as another little extra special surprise if you're able to get one.
