Where To Find Raccoons in Red Dead Redemption
To achieve Rank 6 in the Master Hunter Challenges, Marston needs to kill and skin five Raccoons, five Foxes, and five Skunks. Raccoons are nocturnal creatures, so the best time to hunt them is from dusk to dawn. Here are some of the most reliable locations:
- Oddfellow’s Rest: The graveyard here is a hotspot for raccoons and rabbits at night.
- Beecher’s Hope: Check the area in front of the pavilion, west of the main house.
- Just south of Beecher’s Hope in the morning from around 4 to 6 AM.
- Armadillo: Look behind the stagecoach in the grassy area for both Raccoons and Skunks. Also, explore the back alleys of the town at night.
- South of Armadillo: You can find Raccoons between the two road paths on the map.
- Tanner’s Reach: Place bait in the large opening by the river, south of the town.
- Tall Trees: You can find Raccoos in the northern part of Tall Trees.
- Nosalida: Keep to the left side of the circular road to find Raccoons.
- Tanner’s Span: Look near the “e” in the town’s name.
- The Plains: The areas west of the Wreck of the Serendipity and north of Thieves’ Landing are home to many raccoons.
- Manzanita Post: Raccoons frequently cross the train tracks at the train station here, especially between 7 PM and 1 AM. You can also find Raccoons behind cabins at night
- West of MacFarlane’s Ranch, in the areas near Pike’s Basin.
- Around Warthington Ranch, which is south of MacFarlane’s Ranch
- Around the Mansion in Tumbleweed: The area surrounding the mansion is a good spot to find raccoons at night.
- Around the Brittlebrush Trawl.
You can also
find foxes and skunks
in the areas around The Plains, Wreck of the Serendipity, and Thieves’ Landing, making them an ideal hunting spot to progress towards the Master Hunter Rank 6 Challenge. Always
carry a shotgun
with you, since dangerous
predators like cougars
and boars often roam around in the same areas as raccoons.
