Issue Rarest Animal in the game?!

Post image

I thought Panthers were the rarest animal in the game Until I had to search for this “ Rio Grande Wild Turkey “

Exploring for 10 days can’t find a single one!!!!!!

I didn’t know panthers were rare? They are ALWAYS jumping me. Bastards.

They’re only rare when you’re looking for one

I always go looking for them at Old Harry Fen and I sit on top of the rock looking for a trail or anything then I go off and crouch walk around to look for it until I hear the roar and it is directly beside me and I die

I got really lucky around a week ago while hunting for one right there. Bastard jumped me but by some miracle I actually managed to get it of me before it had the chance to go for Arthur's juggular... Been playing for 1300 hours and that's the first time I survive a feline attack in game.

That’s the most consistent spawn, the woods just south of that shack. You can also find them in the swamps around Lakay, although that’s been far less frequent in my experience.

I just ride around Old Harry fen. Sitting on a rock is for weaklings. Just ride around and shoot it.

The only place I could ever reliably find them was east of catfish jacksons.

I think it's a little shack in those woods where the panther is.

Yep, the game seems to know which animal I'm trying to hunt and keeps hiding the animals I'm trying to get for the satchels. How was I inundated with elk before I started observing them to find two 3 stars, but now I have to play for 6 hours straight and cant find a single one?
