3 star squirrel skin

[gerald2]

How the heck its possibel to get 3 star squirrel skin? i found 3 star squirrel used .22 carbine and small game arrows ,aimed at head ,never got 3 star skin always just 2 .how its possible to get this ?

you must not be too far away to hit a squirrels accurate head, sneak near it and if possible aim from its side, 'cause when you for example hit it from the front with the .22 - even directly on the head - you will most certainly destroy its body too and lose a star.

for me small game arrows are the thing, and even if its tricky: get nearer! not that easy at first and you might fail a few times but when you master the sneak approach, you might even get a cougar with a regular arrow to its head for 3* (in that case one has to use cover scent lotion too of course and be very, very careful with a correct aim)

It can suck to get the 3 stars on those smaller animals. Get the trinket after hunting the legendary buck, it will help.

Small game arrow to the head works every time, always stays a 3-star for me, not sure what's going wrong for you, but I wouldn't use the .22, that always ruins the pelts for me.

For a squirrel it can only be got with a Small Game arrow, anything else will give you 2 stars at the most.

Search Google Images for RDR2 animal list and print off a weapon to animal chart, that's what I did. You can get charts that list the perfect weapon for a particular animal to always get a perfect pelt. You will refer to it a lot until you start to remember.

ah ok thx i wondered this small carbine should be perfect for hunting small animals i will try mor eprecisely with arrows i used em just once probably wasnt clear headshot though its damn hard to approach those small animals in grass thx u all

LOL no you gotta use Small Game Arrow on Squirrel; it tells you this for each animal when you look at them and click More Info. Are you even studying them? Squirrels also have a little hop to them which can be tricky when they are moving away from you with their tail facing you. Make sure you don't hit the tail area, it basically will be an automatically 1 star quality reduction.

its tragic i dunno how ppl do this ♥♥♥♥ really chased those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ squirrels all day its impossible to approach em so close to give headshot w/o scope ,there is way too much NPC and animals in this game and u scare one they run and scare half of freaking forest :/ anyway thx for advices i really appreciate but its way too frustrating for me it seems

Scope nah bro. Bow on horseback. It's not hard, Eagle Eye, find their path. Then Dead Eye and mark + shoot.

Blending tonic;s and sneaking with 22 with scope with dead eye to see red hit box, just don't have any damage perk cards on, might be one of the reason some people get bad pelts other than bad aim.

Edit, herbivore bait
Extra note
Small game arrows for snakes, best to argo them, simple standing 10 feet away so they get into a pounce stance or roughly that measurement based on in-game scale so you don't get bitten or scare.

[Jimbo]

Using "Cover Scent" will allow you to go almost right up to them, until they see you. Scent cover means they will never smell you coming. I have caught mine mostly from horseback using Scent Cover and dead eye.

Yes coverscent always helps with hunting on-foot as well. What can also help is turning the graphics settings a certain way so the grass is set very low or off. Not sure if the in-game settings and sliders allow you turn that all the way down. You can turn the grass lod and shadows much lower by editing the SYSTEM.XML file in Documents folder for the game.

Also can often find coverscent when you search O'Driscoll and other camps. And easy to make at camp-fire by hunting Skunk to get scent glands.

If you do use a 22 rifle definitely put a scope of some sort on it. When aiming with that rifle you can toggle between iron-sights and scope by moving mouse wheel up or down while aiming. To hunt better with 22 though it might be best to wait until you've reached past the part of the game when Dead Eye gets changed from auto tagging to manual tagging. Otherwise it's much too easy to auto tag something more then once, which you don't want to do with animals. If you are using the right weapon and it's in good to excellent condition and using the right ammo type and such all animals should only ever take one shot to kill properly. The more info on an animal tells you which weapon to use.

Both games were originally sold together, I only play online due to the bad ending of the game got spoiled for me by someone (off topic), and refuse to play single-player and yet there's subtle differences between hunting
in either online or single player.

When hunting in single player you can get rare things with the crafting compared to online because of their marketing scheme, so I really did not know how to answer your question when you were not fully clear.
