Re: Red Dead Redemption

I've seen Skunks & Raccoons around Ridgewood farm (mostly to the North), just have to keep an eye out for Cougars.

Found all the raccoons I needed up there. No skunk sightings yet but I did manage to kill 3 cougars in the span of 10 seconds. When I first got up there the horses and bighorn sheep just kept running in circles around me. Didn't know what was going on haha.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Where is a good place to find skunks and raccoons?

They are plentiful in the great planes, otherwise they are scattered pretty much everywhere.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I ended up finding a ton of them at Stillwater Creek. Apparently skunks love water.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

What is the best place for cougars? I got had killed one with a knife near Fort Mercer and was about to kill another one when one blind sided me and it reset my count.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I'm having trouble finding boars and i need to kill 5 of them for the challenge. I went to where there is picture of a boar on the map and searched everywhere + left baits etc and all i keep getting is deer and coyotes.....

That hill in Hennigan's Stead (right where the picture of the boar is) is loaded with them during the daytime.

I waited around for about 20 minutes, went away, came back and there was a pack of five. Dead-eye'd all of them and completed the challenge. Proceeded to find at least 7 or so more after.

Like real hunting, just be patient. The boars will come.

they are near that bravo place but not near the cliff, they are all in this really bushy area near a stream if I remember correctly.

I'm looking for beavers myself and haven't seen one yet.

North of the railroad track that runs along the top side of the Great Plains. There are millions of them across the river bank.

I found plenty on the hill up to the north west (I believe, don't have it near me at the moment) of McFarlane's Ranch.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Finally got the 2 cougars with my knife. The key is to somehow get them circling and running rather than attacking. They're awesome on the ambush, but if you can survive you can easily hunt them down.

You just have to pop them in the body twice with your revolver. It won't kill them and they'll turn cowardly and run away slowly. Then you just run them down and one slash will do it. Definitely the easiest way to complete that challenge. You can also block their attack with your knife, but I found that didn't always work.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Yeah, that hill north of McFarlane's Ranch is always teeming with them after a couple minutes for me. Bait also helps, but you might have to set out a couple of them.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Yeah that's where i'm looking (hill north of the Ranch) but not finding any. I just have to come back at a few different times to see if i can find them.

When it comes to wildlife do you guys find it is usually best to just sit there and let it come near you,drop bait's or camp or just ride around constantly? I guess like real hunting it just takes some luck.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Finished the game....

Spoiler

Wow... Anybody else feel discouraged to roam around now that you're playing as Jack? I'll probably get some trophies and then start the game up again as evil Marston, it's just not the same.

Oh and manly tears were in full effect for the ending

Up until the boars, I was basically just roaming around. When I got to the boars and now the cougars, I had to actually hunt a little bit.

Jesus, what an ending. Glad I didn;t spoil it for myself. Came out of nowhere.
