I think I understand Poor Pelts vs Perfect Pelts. 

It has to do with 1) The proper weapon used to kill the animal and 2) the *** ranking of the animal, right?

I've killed 2 legendary animals so far, and I don't think it matters how you kill them, right? 
This is correct.  But each animal has an inherent pelt rating (i.e. a given deer could have a 2 star pelt).  In order to maintain that inherent pelt quality, you have to kill them with the correct weapon and I believe you have to have a lethal shot (if you deadeye, you can see their vitals). 

There are a bunch of guide tables for each animal telling you what you need.  If you study the animal it will also tell you which weapon to use (as well as the pelt quality).

are you all positive you aren't playing Big Buck Hunter at Buffalo Wild Wings? Because it sounds like you're playing Big Buck Hunter at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Can you feed people to alligators in big buck hunter at bww?

Head shots always maintain the pelt quality.  Do the “call” button when you are aiming at them and they will perk their little head up and “bam!”

Some hard work on the challenges today.  Master Hunter is tough.  I am stuck on the challenge where you have to kill 5 cougars with a bow. 

Also, the sharp shooter challenge where you have to shoot birds from a moving train is harder than it was in RDR1, because they won’t let you ride around on the top of the train.  They get super pissed.

find an abandoned train or clear one out...then drive it yourself and hop on top?  Never done that but have seen the drive option.curious if you can start it and let it go

You can't let the train go, you have to be in the engineer position in order to move the train.  :shakesfist:

I couldn't get a lockbox open.  I tried dynamite, guns, throwing axe and knife.  Glitch?  It happened near Kamassa River in the Bayou.  Right above the "Y" in LEMOYNE on the map.

Gotta go to the guy ('Fence'??) that sells the lock breaker. I didnt have it when I came across the stolen stage coach with the rear lock box. Made a crafting camp on the spot and crafted an explosive round with a pistol and that blew the lock.

Invest in your camp people. It is worth it in the long run. I have bullets and food coming out of my ears.

Is food ever a problem though? There are like millions of animals all over the place just waiting to be shot and eaten.

Also, go tame the white Arabian horse up in the NE corner of the map... super fast & super free

Yeah I'm always munching on some crackers or salted meat or something.  My arthur is kind of malnourished though.  I want to make him curvy.

Later in the game I find food less often, find a lot more tobacco and gum. Cans of corn and stuff are great core replinshers. I have a harder time keeping my cores up than the ring around em.
Tons of big gun fights later in the game and it blows if you don't have anything on him.

I purchased the lock breaker and it still doesn't work.  I think it is a game glitch.  The box is underneath this bench, and a *** gator hands out there (right near a tent). Oh well I will move on.

I literally have to sell food and meat constantly because I'm maxed out on space.

I've thrown away a years supply of smokes too, really need to let a vendor buy them.

The only time I smoke smokes is when I am full and need to pickup a new pack, just for my smokes card collection.

I saw that rough rider up there in the snowy area by himself and just knew he was special.  I will go back and get him.

Yeah, who knows how many premium smokes I left in place when I didn't know they gave a random card

How have you guys been playing?  I think I'm only 23% complete with the story, but I've explored the entire map and spent quite a bit of time in most places.  I think I've gone into every side cabin off of rural roads.  The one with a bear in it was a fun surprise, the meteor one was just strange.
