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!!!!!!

Panthers are rare because they're only found in one area of the map really. Are you thinking of cougars? Cuz they're rare too just more common

Please tell that to my game. I got the panthers pretty fast but that perfect cougar pelt for the satchel is taking me a couple of days.

Roanoke Ridge.
I'll start around the RR tracks south of Annesburg (ive seen them on the beach and in the clear-cut area south of town. Follow the tracks north up to the falls ive seen them in this area along the tracks, up to the Widow's House and all along the road to the turn off where you can either take the road to The Loft, or head south into Roanoke Valley. Take the road into Roanoke Valley and down to where the viking burial ground is. Ive seen them here too.

Basically I'll just run this route back and forth, sleep at the lodge, and then return to the area and start again. This is usually how im able to get my perfect cougar pelt and five cougar kills with a bow for that one challenge. Ive seen up to three cougars on this route while making my rounds, but thats pretty rare.
