Hunters are wanted in Red Dead Redemption 2 to fulfill some taxidermy requests from Ms. L. Hobbs in exchange for rewards and a more skilled hand when it comes to hunting.

The 16 Most Difficult Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Animals To Hunt

With 16 Legendary Animals to find and hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2, some hunters might find themselves being hunted by these ferocious beasts.

With 5 Hunting Requests and 19 perfect animal carcasses needed, players can find everything they need to complete this side mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, along with where to find each Hunting Request, animal, and weapon to use for the perfect condition pelt.

All animals required from the Hunting Requests must be in perfect condition, meaning they have been shot with the right weapon to provide a clean kill on a 3-star animal.

Hunting Request #1

The first Hunting Request can be found in the Valentine Post Office, just after starting Chapter 2. This Hunting Request is hanging from the post board inside the Valentine Train Station, and it requires players to collect a Perfect Rabbit Carcass and a Perfect Squirrel, listed below will be the best places to find a rabbit and a squirrel, along with the weapons needed:

Animal Needed	Common Location	Weapon Needed
Rabbit	Around the forests of Scarlett Meadows in Lemoyne, near Bolger Blade and Braithwaite Manor.	Varmint Rifle
Squirrel	Around the trees of Clemens Point, West of Rhodes in Scarlett Meadows, Lemoyne.	Bow with a Small Game Arrow

The Carcass is needed, not the Pelt, so don’t skin the rabbit. Instead, stow it on your horse, take it to a Post Office, and select the send mail option.

Hunting Request #2

After waiting one in-game day, players can collect their mail from the Post Office after they sent the carcasses to Ms. L. Hobbs. On top of receiving $50, players will now have a new request that contains 3 small animals that are needed, once again in perfect condition. The animals needed are the Cardinal, Rat, and Woodpecker, and each can be found below:

Animal Needed	Common Location	Weapon Needed
Cardinal	Venture between the ‘N’ and ‘E’ of ‘New’ in ‘New Hanover’ to find small birds sitting on the rocks by a cliff. If a cardinal does not spawn, simply save and reload.	Bow with a Small Game Arrow
Rat	Rats are commonly found roaming Limpany, East of the Dakota River in New Hanover, or around Saint Denis’ slums area.	Bow with a Small Game Arrow
Woodpecker	Easily found flying over and around Fort Brennand, North of the Kamassa River and near Van Horn Trading Post in New Hanover.	Bow with a Small Game Arrow

Hunting Request #3

After handing in the animals necessary for Hunting Request #2, players will receive mail a day later with their reward along with the third Hunting Request, which details a further 4 animals that must be hunted. Players need to hunt the following: Chipmunk, Opossum, Oriole, Robin, and each of them can be found below:

Robin	More commonly found around the trees surrounding the South area of Braithwaite Manor, near to the Braithwaite Secret point of interest.	Bow with a Small Game Arrow
