Legendary Animal Pelts in Red Dead Redemption 2
Successfully hunting a legendary animal will give you the chance to give their pelts and other parts to a trapper. You'll be able to get unique trinkets with various abilities based on the specific animal hunted. You can also sell them for money and cosmetic items. We recommend tracking them down in your own time, breaking through to tracking them down in reasonable chunks because this entire process can be overwhelming, and is meant to be a journey rather than a heavy sprint. Don't forget to stay on your hunting requests as well.
