Legendary Coyote & Elk not Spawning in.

[Shirley]

For some reason the Legendary Coyote and Elk refuse to spawn in. I have checked their respective locations many times and neither have spawned in, I haven't even gotten a pop-up saying that there's to much activity in the area to track them. I don't know if I am not at the proper point in the story for the to spawn (even though I don't believe you have to reach a certain plot point for them like the Bullgator) or if I some how don't reach some other requirement. As of writing this, my most recently completed story mission is "Angelo Bronte, a Man of Honor", at roughly the halfway point of the story.

If you get the popup you are in the right area. If it says too much activity ride for a mile or so then return. Also, sometimes the symbol on the map is not 100% correct and the actual location can be somewhere around it. Also there are many guides on where to find them exactly.

Once you get the popup that you are in the area, get off your horse instantly, and keep looking around while constantly turning eagle eye on and off looking for those orange bubbles from the tracking clues. Also keep an eye on your map as they sometimes are marked with a ? Symbol before you can actually see them

The elk is a hard one indeed and rarely spawns.
Time of day also seems to have influence.

Try early in the morning and don't barge into the area with your horse.
Walk slow, preferable by foot into the area, be clean (washed) and use the smell cover stuff.
Herbivore bait (the potent one) also helps.


For the Coyote:
I have no idea why it doesn't spawn, for me every time it spawns as soon as I come close.

Time of day doesn't realy matter, but end of the day/midday would be best.
You can try to kill some animals in the area and leave their corpses a few hours prior.
Then the same tips apply:

Be clean, use cover and use potent predator bait.
Be as far from the rail in the creek, and walk slowely towards the rail and the ruined building.

For both: use eagle eye a lot to see the yellow sparkles.
And keep an eye out for your minimap where a "?" appears.
(Making the minimap bigger by pressin alt-x might help to spot it faster)

Happy hunting

The Coyote:
Been going there to roam a bit and see if it popped:

here is a screenshot from the place in "eagle eye" (yes I call it that, sue me :P : ) with the time of day and the location. you can see the building in the background:
