Hunting tips that actually matter

• Unlocks depend on your progress. The Chapter 2 hunting mission introduces legendary hunts. The Bull Gator needs That's Murfree Country, the Panther needs Master Hunter challenges 1–9, and New Austin hunts have story-access restrictions. You can continue hunting in the epilogue.
• Study first, shoot second. Follow the clues until the animal spawns.
• Take the pelt to a Trapper. Legendary pelts cannot be sold to a regular butcher. Check what every legendary pelt crafts before you ride out, because several outfits need two different pelts.
