• Some animals hunt in packs.  If you see one deer, elk, wolf, coyote or other animal, chances are that there will be others nearby.  Best to attack these on horseback so you don't lose one.  This doesn't apply to all animals.
• Never stand still in any area in the game.  Cougars, wolves, coyotes, bears, etcetera could be around...they'll all attack you and have you dead in no time...
• Shooting dogs will place a bounty on your head as all of the dogs belong to the law men.
• If while hunting you encounter an ambient challenge where a man or woman is running away from a pack of wolves, coyotes or some other animal, save the person to get rewarded and hunt the animals at the same time for their parts. A twofer!
• Tall Trees is home to some of the most majestic animals in the game.  Bears, elk, cougars, deer and more.  It's jam packed with hunting opportunity, if you've got the itch.

• Sharpshooter 1: Shoot and kill five flying wild birds.
• Sharpshooter 2: Shoot and kill five rabbits.  Search for these around MacFarlane's Ranch and dry areas such as the land around Armadillo.
• Sharpshooter 3: Kill five coyotes before any coyote causes damage to your health.  Check for coyotes around Hanging Rock north of Armadillo or on the hills surrounding MacFarlane's Ranch.
• Sharpshooter 4: Kill five flying birds from a moving train.  The train is the red icon on your map.
• Sharpshooter 5: Kill any two different types of wild animals in one Dead Eye meter.  This will unlock more ammunition at home and camp.
• Sharpshooter 6: Shoot the hats off two different people's heads.  Use Dead Eye for this one at Twin Rocks, a hideout with enemies that have tall hats.
• Sharpshooter 7: Kill 3 bears with a single head shot each.  Find these in Tall Trees.
• Sharpshooter 8: Shoot the hats off two people's heads and disarm two people.  Again, Dead Eye is the key for this one.
• Sharpshooter 9: Kill any six wild animals without reloading or changing weapons.  A good tip for this one is to go after vultures following successful completion of a gang hideout.
• Sharpshooter 10: Disarm any six enemies without reloading or changing weapons.  One place to try for this is at the saloon in Thieves’ Landing, and be sure to use Dead Eye.  This challenge will unlock the ability for Dead Eye to build faster from shooting targets.

Animals roam over the entire land in the game.  The map included with your game copy shows where some of these creatures can be found, noted by drawings of the animals in the specific locations where they reside.  We'll be covering animal locations in part three of our Hunting Wildlife tips series, coming soon.  Comment below if you have any additional hunting tips or questions and we may answer them now or in a future edition of Asked & Answered.
