The master hunter challenges, in particular, require you to track down and hunt several wild creatures that roam diverse biomes ofRed Dead Redemption.
As you progress to master hunter challenge rank 6, the game tasks you with hunting andskinning five raccoons, foxes, and skunks. However, when you set out to scout for these critters, you’ll immediately realize that these tiny animals, especially skunks, aren’t so easy to find in the game’s vast open world. If you’ve been looking for skunks and haven’t had the luck of finding a reliable spot to farm them, the following guide will bring your search to an end.
The sprawling open world ofRed Dead Redemptionfeatures a variety of biomes, fromsprawling plains and arid deserts to swampy marshlands and snow-capped mountains. Skunks are commonly found in plains and arid regions, and sometimes they may even run across roads. These tiny animals resemble raccoons and armadillos in size and color, but they also have two distinct white stripes on their backs and tails. Here are some of the best early and mid-game spots where you can find and hunt Skunks inRed Dead Redemption:
Unless you spook them by riding on your horseback or sprinting,skunks are relatively easy to hunt as many of them remain still as long as they are not threatened. However, hunting skunks takes more than just pointing your gun and shooting at them.
Given how small these animals are, shooting them with powerful firearms like shotguns or the Buffalo Rifle ruins the carcass. Consider using pistols or repeaters to take down these critters. Skunks usually love hiding in small shrubs, but you can hear their chirps when nearby. You can draw them out by using bait. Skunks are often accompanied by other critters likearmadillosand raccoons, and hunting the latter is also required to complete the master hunter challenge rank 6.
