When I was trying to find beaver up in Tall Trees, I came across a ton of foxes thinking they were beaver because they're almost as small as they are.
And speaking of beavers:
All the trouble looking for five of them and the 10 red sage and feathers, the conclusion of Daedalus and Son was so hilarious it was still worth it. :lol

"They can be found in various locations, but are most common between Mercer's station and Riley's Charge, and Rio Del Lobo. They can also be found south of Beecher's Hope in West Elizabeth, where the fox image is on the map. "Baiting" in the Rio del Lobo canyon frequently produces foxes. Should be noted that baiting this area may produce cougars frequently too, along with quite a few foxes (when more up-hill in Rio del Lobo).
There is a hunting/skinning challenge occuring randomly south of Warthington Ranch at night, where a Hunter will ask you to hunt and skin foxes for him. He will give you some bait, and after using it, three to five foxes appear. You only need two to complete the challenge, but while you're at it... "

I'll snatch me some beavers!
Fantastic game. I'm feeling a bit disconnected today because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Played this game from start to finish for ~14 hours straight.
My only complaints are:
1. Fast travel was tedious through camps.
2. Damn shops were always closed due to hours. Cities like Blackwater I would have to fetch my horse, ride outside of town, save 1-2 times, ride back.
I'm amazed at the world they created. So much detail and diversity. Some of the areas of the map remind me of Austin TX (a bit more arid in the game).

God...good luck on the damned big horns. I need 1 more and I just never run into one. I've usually been lucky enough to find ONE in Tall Trees near the rock face southeast of the waterfall, but that happens like every 1/5 times I play the game. If you find a better spot, let me know.idahoblue said:

Where are those stupid beavers hiding? I can't find any, even not there where they are supposed to be according to the map..
Some of the Ambient Challenges were such a chore. The 5 fox/raccoon/skunk one, the bighorn/elk one and the final Survivalist challenge were the worst of the bunch. Mind-numbingly boring and infuriating all at the same time. Great job R*!
I wish they'd done more with Hunting/Survivalist. I'd have loved to see an Oblivion Alchemy type skill that lets you mix different ingredients to get different potions and elixirs etc.

Hopefully we get more characters like John in future Rockstar games...Niko and the GTA expansion characters were a let down.

You were amazed at the world they created but used fast travel instead of enjoying it? If the shops were always closed you must have been fast traveling a lot and not hanging out in towns doing extra stuff. Your complaints are most likely from rushing through the game instead of soaking it in.

I'm also amazed by the world Rockstar created, but that doesn't stop me from fast travelling. You know, the first 3 or 4 hours or so I didn't fast travel, but riding with the horse became a bit tedious for me, amazing over world or not. And even though the over world is great, and the random things that happens while you're riding are also great, it doesn't stop the fact that you've seen most of it after a few of hours.

does anyone have a suggestion for finding coyotes? I have searched south of Armadillo and around McFarland Ranch for 3-4 in-game days each and I haven't seen a single one. I've used bait many times and it never attracts anything at all.

So I hated GTA4 so much, and decided to give this game a chance despite that hate. This one has totally hooked me in SP. Where GTA4 drove me crazy and I hated almost everything about the structure of the game, this game is awesome, and I love it. Really really happy I picked this up.
Just beat the game last night (outside of this secret ending I'm just finding out about).. some thoughts:
I really enjoyed the way they ended it... While doing the missions back at the Marston farm I was getting a bit frustrated wondering why the hell I have to herd cattle again etc... but then in the end it all made sense. Training the next character you were going to be. Not a lot of games have the balls to end the way RDR did. One thing the ending probably means for me is that I'll have less of a problem being a jerk with Jack as I did with John. John was a flawed protagonist.. but all his dialogue made me feel bad about killing innocent people etc. With Jack I don't really care because I know he's completely messed up now. Really looking forward to this secret ending now and going through all the challenges etc. Hoping to 100% this badboy but I usually always give up... wish me luck!

Finally got 100% last night.
The last 5% was a chore. I ended up killing all but one poker player in Blackwater to get the US Army outfit. And hunting was a pain in the ass. It took ages for skunks, raccoons, elk, bighorns, etc, to show up. But conveniently enough, after I would fulfill the challenge, there would be a stampede of whatever I had been looking for. I think I saw 10 elk running around Tall Trees when previously I was lucky to find one every 20 minutes.
I still enjoyed it though, and the Bureau costume is wayyyy too much fun. I might actually go for 1000/1000 cheevements on this one.

Yep. I hate GTA4 with a burning passion, and yet RDR seems to have fixed every last issue I had with it, and does everything better. The biggest problem I with GTA4, the lack of variety of missions? RDR laughs in the face of that.
Probably the best R* game since Vice City.

ARGH! FUCK YOU BEAR!
And dynamite hunting bears is fun.
Edit: NOW A COUGAR KILLS ME WHILE SKINNING? Cheap bastard. :/

Cotdamn you beat it in 14 hours?:lol WTF?

You beat it in 14 hours, and you were restocking on Snake Oil, and Tobacco?:lol I haven't even touched those in 27 hours, and just recently reached "Act II."
Outtrigger888 said:
While the world is nice, I didn't always want to ride a horse 15 minutes to restock on chewing tobacco & snake oil. Lots of missions take you through areas several times over, and I can always explore if I feel like it.
I did explore the first 3 hours or so, but eventually it was the same "that man stole my horse", "wolves are chasing me", "I'm murdering a whore, stop me before I stab her" or "Someone stole goods from my shop". The main missions were much more interesting, especially in the 2nd half of the game.
Net_Wrecker said:
That's about where I started using them. Some missions they were almost a necessity. Or it could have been sleep deprivation on my part. :lol
Nothing wrong with playing the game like you all are playing it. I'm going to go back and play misc stuff, explore and play DLC.

I'm not saying you played it wrong cause you can do w/e you want to but damn, I bow to your speed. Just surprised me that it'll probably take me 3 times as long as you did to finished the story.

Yeahhh but I think I'm the only one who cannot fold those back to normal, so I'm not touching it!
Word of advice to those going for 100% completion, make sure you check the R* Social Club as you work your way towards it to see how much you have done and what you still need to do.
I was stuck at 99.6% complete for nearly an hour with no idea what I was supposed to do. Turns out, I was under the impression that in order to get 20/20 bounty locations all of the ones that counted were the named bounties (i.e. the posters that had an actual image of the guy you were trying to capture instead of just the "?"). Nope, the last four locations- what I needed to get that last .4%- were A.) All in Mexico, and B.) All just random "?" bounties.
Was releaved when I finally figured that out I didn't realize that I'd grazed over a lot of bounty hunting in Mexico.
