Reliable way to find bounties for Shek Kingdom?

[jerrypocalypse]

I find bounties constantly in the United Cities area, but have terrible luck in the Shek Kingdom.

Secondary question, andy good ways to raise reputation with the Shek early/mid game?

Well, you can go straight for the kill with the Shek by handing them in important bounties like the Bugmaster if you're shooting for an alliance with the Shek. Outside of that, you'll have to find random bounties out in the wilds for the Shek. There are a few definite bounties out there, such as the leader of the Band of Bones, the Red Sabres, and the Dust King. But for the most part, you gotta find Dust Bandits and hope they're tagged for bounties.

I find there seems to be a lot of dust bandits with Shek bounties. Just average roaming bandits. Each one nets a +2 when you turn them in. In normal game play when I am operating out of Shek territory I see about one per bandit group.

Yeah, I'm mostly aiming for random ones. I must be unlucky with the Dust Bandits. I feel like I don't see them that often. On the flip side, when I'm in United Cities territories, I see frequent Empire Peasants, Rebel Farmers, Sand Ninjas, and Outlaws with bounties

UC gives out more bounties than other factions (by a significant magnitude), that's why the Bounty Hunters are a UC Sub-faction.

Ahhh, okay, that makes sense then. I've been in the area for a bit and was asking myself if I was missing something since I didn't feel they were as common other places. That clears it up.

Turning in Flying Bull should net you a solid +20 rep iirc, and he's relatively easy to deal with by the time you're hitting mid-game.
