Description:
” The Legendary Buck is endemic to Big Valley in West Elizabeth. Its light brown and white short hair makes this buck distinguishable to other bucks. As a herbivore, it consumes nuts, buds, twigs, and green plants. A rifle or a Bow with Poison Arrows are considered to be the best weapons to hunt this animal. Killing the animal will give you the opportunity to craft a rare trinket.”

Hunting & Tracking Guide:
Ride to the area marked on our map above in order to look for the Legendary Buck.
The first clue you can find is some fur near two tree stumps. Inspect the fur, then focus on the animal’s track.
Dung Location
Move east and several steps away you can find some dung.
Follow the track north, then cross the path in the forest and you will find another dung next to a rather tall dead tree and a tree stump.
Now, slowly move east to spot the animal in the forest. Align your weapon and aim for the head.
Aim for the buck’s head
Using our RDR2 recommended weapon you will need two shots to put the animal down.
Skin the animal to get the buck’s pelt and antler, and then take the carcass to the Trapper west from your current location.

The Legendary Buck Vest
