• After hunting and skinning animals, keep in mind that the further away the shop is from the native land of the animal that you are selling, the more money they pay for the hides and parts.
• If you see a cougar, immediately take action and begin shooting.  Best to move side to side instead of running in one direction as the cougar will follow right behind you.
• If you hear a rattling noise when riding your horse, climb off and retrace your steps.  A rattlesnake is nearby...
• Use rifles on soaring birds as pistols and revolvers aren't as accurate at long range.
• When hunting deer, elk and other fast animals, stay on your horse so you don't lose them.

• Master Hunter 1: Collect five coyote pelts by killing five coyotes, skinning the carcasses and collecting the pelts.  Search around Hanging Rock north of Armadillo or on the hills surrounding MacFarlane's Ranch.

• Master Hunter 5: Kill two cougars with your melee knife and collect two cougar pelts.  This will unlock the Buffalo Rifle in town weapon shops.
