Animal Skins on Horses

[Fernando Gallieri]

Hi! I just hunted down a jaguar, skinned it, and put the skin on my horse (thought maybe I could sell it later) - now it seems like the skin is stuck on my animal. Even when I buy a new horse the skin is automatically thrown over the new horses back. When I approach it there is no option to remove the skin. Am I missing something?

[MJROu812]

That doesn't sound right...you did sell the pelt right?

[Benjo]

Yeah you need to sell it

[Fernando Gallieri]

No I was carrying it after skinning the jaguar and put it on my horse's back. Via square (stow) - after that I couldnt interact with it anymore and now it seems to be stuck on whatever horse I ride

I've got the same with the white legendary fox pelt which I can't seem to be able to sell anywhere. Still, I kinda like it.

Yeah. I learned this glitch early on. You end up having to "discard" the pelt entirely. No way to sell or use it.

Just pay your respects and go hunt another one. Don't skin it this time.

Actually, only skin giant animals that you can't carry. Small animal skins will be stuck on your horses ass like a rug.

Im just wondering if its a glitch or its the way they coded it?

I had a problem with the legendary grizzly.  It disappeared when I happened across another large animal (elk I think) and skinned that.  In my case, because these two animals were large rolls, I think it automatically got rid of the one I had because there was no room?    I guess I won't know until I start really diving into the game.

You have to have your horse with the skins on it next to you at the butcher. Then you can sell the skins on the horses back

I think this is a bug.  I’m experiencing same thing.  Theres one boar pelt on the back of my horseback I can’t shake.  Tried the suggestions above like hunting another large animal then selling it at the butcher; carcass, pelt and all, but that one boar pelt still remains.  Removing the Saddle removes the pelt, but putting the saddle back on re-adds the pelt  

Things ive tried:

- removing saddle, putting saddle back on

- stabling horse, saddling different horse (pelt just gets transferred to the back of current horse)

- buying new saddle (pelt gets transferred to new saddle and current horse)

This is extremely maddening

Seems a bit drastic

Seriously, just have your horse standing right next to you at the butcher. I literally just did this and sold all the pelts on the horses back

[SofaJockey]

Have you tried donating it your camp for crafting?

Works for me, you don't even have to take it off the horse.

That’s what it was, any animal skin will show up in the donate/sell menu should be able to see it listed. I had the same problem

Trying this right now

You must not have read my full post;  Yes, I tried this   I’m able to sell all other animal items to the butcher.  Just not this one boar pelt

same thing has happened to me with Alligator Skin, I have done everything from try to sell it to switching horse and it is still there. Im hoping the next patch fixes it becuase it is seriously annoying.

UPDATE, I think i have just found a way to remove it. Go hunting and collect 3 or 4 pelts then go back to camp and sell them, when i did that it seemed to take away the glitched one, I didnt get anything for it but at least it's gone. I removed the saddle and put it back, it still appears to be gone so try it out and let me know👍

[Fernando Gallieri]

I could sell it in town, but could not sell or donate it at pearson in camp. But it seems to be glitched

[MJROu812]

Hopefully Rockstar will give us a update this week to fix some things, they do have a large support team.

There is no glitch. You sell Legendary animals to the trapper who has a stall in St. Denis and various camps around the map. (small paw print icon).

[ALetterFromAbrahamLincoln]

I'm confused. I got the bear through the Hosea mission. Then i was set upon by bounty hunters and I died. So my pelt was lost . Or the game said something like I lost my pelt or to sell it to a trapper. So I went to the trapper and I was able to make the bear head and apparently I have 2 extra pelts left. Did I keep my pelts after dying?

I've got the same problem, so annoying having an Alligator skin permanently on the back of my horse. It's definitely a glitch as it's not appearing at all in my horse cargo so I can't sell it or get rid of it!! Any ideas? Did anyone else with this issue have it where the skin wasn't in their horse cargo?

[MJROu812]

I have not ran into this problem yet....knock on WOOD?

[ReeseJChang]

Some skin can only be sold to the trapper.

Only if it's in your horse cargo to access though. That's the glitch.. skin on horse but not in cargo.
