Bait no, i think it was a coincidence when it worked for me at first. Cover scent is a must. The circled areas in the attached pic are the best spots to hunt them. What i do - camp until evening just north of these areas, usually puts you in a camp on the road just under the S in "Meadows" on the map. I always wear headphones hunting panther and cougar to hear them easier. I use the Springfield rifle with Express rounds, apply cover scent, crouch walk through the forest there in the circled areas, usually the southern one, i don't hunt much in eastern circle unless i can't get a spawn in the lower area. Eagle eye every 50 - 60 feet or so, check all around you, rinse and repeat. When you hear the growl the panther is near, eagle eye and find him, dead eye and shoot him in the face. Perfect pelt every time.

There may be multiple actions in that same spot also. you might have to tap R1 to cycle through them to pick up the gun, or hat, or loot the body, or whatever.

little online searching, all i can find for steel boxes are the collectors box (map, bandana, coin, puzzle, cards, but no game included) box is a tithing box (piggy bank like hole in top). The only other steel box i can find online is the Steelbook, only available through GameStop but it's the Ultimate Edition, game discs, physical map and the steel book are included for PS4. I'd go with @Truth's suggestion and ask your wife to be sure.

you have to target them and press Y to rob. Only 1 person in a location will count, or did for me. When I robbed 4 or 5 people in a train car i only got credit for 1. They have to be townsfolk. Try at night behind the buildings or the auction barns in Valentine.

The last 3 or 4 stagecoach missions i went on i just blew them up, was much easier. a well timed toss of the dynamite and boom, you got a busted up stage, dead guards, and dead horses to give you that red honor. you might be my thought was to throw him in the river downstream where it was deeper so he could learn to swim. What i liked doing was shooting lone horsemen at the river crossings then chasing their horse into the river and killing it to get the red honor, then watch them and see how far down stream they would float. Never did beat up the newspaper boy, shot him though, and he was selling papers the next day with his head and left eye wrapped in bandages. Tough kid.

I found the panther to be the easier of the big cats. My score versus the cougar is much worse than the panther Probably because the panther is in that one small area only, and the cougar is all over the map almost. I got attacked by one going into Annesburg the other day. Luckily I was close enough to the town it ran off after the first attack, so i was able to finish the cougar in the compendium by tracking it then. When hunting them use scent cover and crouch and creep around the area they spawn in until you hear them growl, then eagle eye until you spot them and blam dead cat. Just wish my son would have told me that 2 months ago instead of 2 weeks or so ago lol, i wouldn't have had such a hard time with them as i did way back when.

you can hunt all the legendary animals but the 3 in New Austin, I would strongly suggest hunting and getting the Legend of the east Satchel. Also start the legendary fish, you can catch all but 3 of them, the last 3 being in New Austin. There's the challenges - the gunslinger, bandit, herbalist, etc. I've been playing the game almost every night since it's release, and i've only made it into chapter 4, because i wanted to unlock that dead eye bonus. You have to unlock the horse fence in chapter 3 for a bandit challenge. Then there's the treasure hunts, Then finding all the rock carvings. then finding all the dinosaur bones (there's a few in New Austin), then just going out and exploring and seeing all the awesomeness that's in the game.

they respawn. not sure what the timer is. I'd pick what i could find for the exotics and herbalist challenges, then go do a mission or 2 or hunt for a few days and they'd be back.

i've had this happen a few times. Exiting the game and a hard boot of the console fixed it for me. Always best to exit the game when you're done playing for the night or other extended periods.

the save game and reload works. but it's really tedious. i get a moose (so far 1 or 2 stars) every 6 or 7 reloads. And the trinket doesn't seem to work on these to upgrade the skin from 2 star to perfect.

you picked up the book by the tent then. you wouldn't get that popup otherwise. Maybe save your game and reboot the console (for xbox) or clear the cache in the PS4. that's fixed some 'glitches' like this.

There's a barn in St. Denis with random horses. There's a post here somewhere about it. Not sure if you can get the White Arabian there. You can buy the other Arabians in the stables in chapter 4, not sure they'll be available in the prologue, i haven't made it through chapter 4 yet Attached picture of the barn location just north edge of St. Denis (at least i think that's where it is).

You have to pick up the book by Hosea's tent first, did you do that? You can do more than one at a time. I had all at the same time. You can get Jack and Mary-Beth's items in the same location.

not that i've found, other than a story mission on it.

nice! thanks for the post! I think there's a lot they could add to RDR2 with DLC's. They could expand on the story lines for the surviving gang members, like Sadie, Pearson, Mary Beth, etc.

Did it 3 times, twice myself cause i restored to a previous save, and once with my son on his game. Never had an issue.

Just 3 that i know of. Van Horn, Butcher Creek, and my mind went blank of the place in New Austin.

works but my god this is tedious. 6 or 7 restores at the save to finally see a moose. Oh but i'ts just 2 star and my trinket didn't upgrade the skin (yes my luck is sh*t). They need to change the wording on that trinket, it doesn't work every time like it reads to do.

they do. but it's shorter distance to take the tracks. I ride beside the tracks on the gravel, riding on the tracks will slow you down a touch too.

read this wrong, you're talking expansion to the game. We know what happens with John after RDR2, why not the rest? I think it would be fun to play as Sadie and see her story expanded. Or play as Bill/Dutch/Charles up until they get killed by John in RDR. Or why not go farther back and see how each member (and the ladies) got to be in the gang.

that sucks, i've never seen a female, just lone bulls roaming around.

agreed, i thought it was funny that some of the subtitles are incorrect. Like intentionally incorrect for a laugh. You get to see what htey really mean but they say something different

check the animal compendium it will list all that have been killed, studied, tracked, and skinned. If you did the camp upgrade you should have skinned one, unless you turned in the carcass.

i'd like to see server options. closed servers for groups/solo play.

try camping and going back. you may have an open mission or conflict.
