Brendo Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I’ve been trying to hunt the legendary buck, north west of strawberry and every time I enter the area of the animal, instead of allowing me to track it it says there is too much activity to track the animal. I figured it meant there were too many other animals around to pick up a clear trace. I killed every living thing in sight and still got the same message. There was also a gang hideout so I killed the guys there and then left the area and returned, the camp was gone but still the same message. I have no idea how to get around it. Has anyone else had this problem? And gotten around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call on that. Was going to recommend the same thing. You find the big bloke yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This didn’t work for me I tired to complete more story missions but it still says to much activity in area to track animals and I’m starting to get mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefiantVeil Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I am still having the same problem. I was only able to track the Whitetail the first time I entered the area but I got distracted by a herd of Mustangs. Only gang hideout I have found nearby (?) is the one beside Little Creek River and they have been clear for irl hours now after I killed a bunch of boars for camp. I left the area for most of the day today and just recently started trying the camping and waiting game but it isnt working. Unless I am not waiting long enough. Any suggestions?

Reflucks Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I had this problem. I did the bounty in Strawberry at the jail and it worked. Let me know if this helps. Edited October 28, 2018 by Reflucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howiefeltersnatches Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Try doing the missions for Leopold strauss where you collect debts. Then do the mission for Hosea where you rob a carraige, this unlocks the fence where you trade in valuables and craft trinkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZLion Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm thinking some of these side missions, especially with the legend animals may require you to have completed other missions. When in doubt, like Reflucks mentioned, just complete something else or a few other things and come back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue205 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Do the bounty out of Strawberry. That was what cleared that message for me. hope that helps, happy hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering what to do with the collection of antique pocket watches and wedding rings I was carrying around. I want the cash.

dEYE Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just figured it out. It's because there is a random encounter nearby. For me it was a stranger trying to rob me. Finished the encounter (killed them) and then I could hunt again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMuclesHour Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I figured it out. Clear the gang and clear all predatory animal sounds. For me it was a black bear. I noticed this because I kept hearing bear roars. Also as soon as I killed the bear a bunch of herbivores showed up in the area. I imagine its like this for other legendary animals that are hervibores as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sami33ee Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 You need to kill the wolf thats attaxking the stranger and the cougar thats around before you can hunt the buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightgoats Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If you have a bounty on you it’s going to say there is activity in that area until that bounty is cleared somehow. That’s because the bounty hunters show up when you camp out there. That is what happened to me when I played. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 So, clear your bounties, do plenty of missions, kill all surrounding animals, clear out a gang hideout, do a couple of nearby stranger missions, and camp overnight. Then you can hunt. Fair enough . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggsby45 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I had to kill a cougar. Don’t know if this helps, but as soon as I killed it I could start tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
