RDR2 Hunting Requests: Part I

During your travels, you will notice Hunting Requests (similar to bounty posters) displayed at the Post Office or Train Station in five different towns: Valentine, Rhodes, Strawberry, Saint Denis and Van Horn.

There are five notices in total in this mission, but you can only collect one at a time; the stage that you trigger is the same irrespective of where you acquire it. Each notice features a list of animal carcasses requested by Ms. Hobbs. If you obtain these and mail them to her, you will receive a reward and unlock the next notice.

Note that you need to secure carcasses that are in perfect condition. This means that you must track animals of pristine quality and take them down with perfect kills. For further advice, see the Red Dead Redemption 2 Hunting Guide, and the dedicated guide to Hunting Requests Animal Locations.

After you fulfill all five orders (which can be achieved during Epilogue 1 at the earliest), you will receive a letter of invitation to the cottage of Ms. Hobbs, which is found just northeast of Strawberry When you visit her, she will give you a final reward: a Squirrel Statue that you can put on display at Beecher's Hope.
