Hammer

The Missouri Fox Trotter , Silver Dapple Pinto Mine will walk between Alligators without flinching. My white Arabian was always throwing me and never got use to gunfire.

I'd move into the veterans shack on O'Creagh's Run. Freat hunting area and off the main roads,

You should get credit for completing these during the game. The requirement to do these sequentially is just stupid. I'm at 97,2 % and this challenge along with the gambler will probably keep me from ever going for 100%. What fun is there in traveling all over the map to catch every fish again?

Turn Auto Save off and leave it off. It will start a save at the worse times, like when a cougar is charging you. Save your own games manually, if you need to be reminded hang a "SAVE" note close to you

I have a save in chapter 4 and wish I would have just stayed there. Didn't complete the exotics or the Satchels until chapter 5 so I'm not going back.

Couldn't agree more, Maybe one day R* will finish the online game but right now it's a dumpster fire.....

I'm glad I only spent $1 on a X live trial. RDRO is nowhere close to being finished and and beta tested. It is apparent you are going to have to buy your way through this game when it is finally finished. I ranked up 2 characters to level 200 in GTAO without buying a shark card, wont be able to do that with this game....

There's one very good reason to complete all of the side missions, challenges, quests before the end of chapter 6...…. That's the main reason not to rush through story mode. By doing side missions you also unlock valuable equipment that makes the story missions more enjoyable. The Legendary Satchel for example ...

Don't know about death, but leaving the server will still take all of your pelts.

You don't have to with the Varmint rifle, you can take them down all day long. Try that in real life!

I think R* answered the original question with the recent nerfing of Fishing. Prior to the update fishing was the way to go. But we all know from GTAO updates that R* hates any solitary game play options online and will always force us to interact with the griefers and trolls. You can make more money hunting now, but you leave yourself open to the roaming hoards of 12 year old freeroam warriors.

Ever try to hit a flying bird at 200 yds with a .22? There's a reason the shotgun was invented

Mansions! ok, I just wanted to be the first to start whining about Mansions....

Obviously never took a .22 to the temple.....

Play Story mode, this game is nowhere near finished. I think back to all the missions, races, etc we had with GTAO at launch... not to mention a great SP to MP glitch, RDRO has nothing exciting to do. Id rather track down orchids for Algernon Wasp than grind the missions online, for gods sake you can't even save your game! You could lose an hour worth of pelts when the servers kick you. Im not gonna say RDRO sucks, its just nowhere near finished and shouldn't have been released. Now if I could SPMP glitch Buel into online, that might be fun.....

If R* wants to keep it realistic , when you choose not to equip a 2nd holster you should have to go through a reload animation or select a new weapon with the weapon wheel. But I suspect this is more about appearances than actual functionality....

Typical R*, hand you some one time free gold and cash with one hand while the other one is shutting down the best income source in the game.

Everytime I'm disconnected I lose every pelt on my horse,

The TV manufacturers love consumers like you....

How's Online? R* launched without a "Save Game" function, you don't need another reason to not waste your time on it.

Drove me nuts as well, finally got it after I donated $10 to the nun in Saint Denis, chapter 5

Most people do not sit that close to a TV. Just measured and I'm about 12 feet from my 60. lets split the difference and call the average 8ft. (according to the graph) You'd have to be watching a 70" or larger to see any difference. Suffices to say that buying 4k in anything smaller than 60" is probably a waste of money.

To complete the master Hunter challenge you need to kill 5 cougars with the bow. Use an improved arrow , aim for a head shot (which is easy because theyre usually coming straight at you) and you should end up with 2 or 3 perfect pelts. Theyre are cougars in the North east in the Roanoke Valley. They spawn at the same rate, make a few train trips between Annesburg and Wallace Station to keep things fresh and stay on your horse (hes the best bait) until the red predator dot appears, then quickly hop off and go into tracking mode, you should see one stalking you preparing to pounce. I've never seen a cougar not attack once that dot appears.

Don't try to do all the lists together, break them up. Shoot everything that flies in the swamps. Use Dead Eye to take down the whole flock. You will eventually need plumes from many birds. Watch the trees in the swamp, the orchids on the trees are easy to spot in tracking mode I've got 2 lists left and all I can say is I hope the hat is worth it!!
