Bounty hunters after me for no reason

[PotatoFace565]

I'm not wanted, I've just been hunting and bounty hunters are still coming after me.

Depends what part of the game you're currently in and where you're hunting.

Just happened to me, too.
Story mode, Chapter 2, I have no bounty on me anywhere North of the Montana River - just Wanted Dead or Alive in Blackwater as the gang would be at this point in the story.

(notice that the crosshair map cursor is active and as such any active bounty in that area should display)

I recently shot the last bird in the 3rd Sharpshooter Challenge (5 birds from moving train), and was briefly pursued after stumbling back off the train but I lost the first "investigating" law posse without getting a bounty on Arthur's head. Now, the second posse of unwarranted bounty hunters has spawned, interrupting my business with the trapper in Black Bone Forest as they are closing in on me. The first one showed up the previous night about an in-game day after I crimed on the roof of the train and limped off into hiding.

I guess I'll try to knock off a few enemy-related challenges while I've got targets chasing me that I can kill with impunity.

I had also just found the last clue in the serial killer mission strand. Maybe that could have something to do with it, too.

They always come after you in west Elizabeth as that's the "state" blackwater is in
