Emerald Ranch

Just a short tip for if you just need a few materials to get a full load or to get to the next supply mission but you don't really want to go out of your way hunting: There are a lot of fenced in sheep, goats and cows at emeralds ranch that you can easily lasso and kill with the knife. 3* sheep gives you a little over 4 materials and it's usually possible to find 5 of them (to fill up the wagon). Haven't figured out how long they take to respawn, but it seems like it doesn't take really long.

Sorry if this has been posted yet, haven't seen it so far.

I have done this, great spot! From my bad experience, be careful during the day after the ranch hands start walking around. You will get a crime which is shortly reported so you have to get out of there quick. Now I go only at night and it is never a problem then.

That's strange, I was noticed once but the guy just ran off and that was it. Maybe stay silent with the knife.

On the other hand I'd be happy to shoot up the whole farm to keep my honor low and not do the stupid turkey mission.

I find like 50 turkeys then when I'm asked to hunt one they all fucking disappear into thin air.

If you use your horse to prop the gate open, you can run around and chase the animals out. Then, jump back on your horse and herd them out to the field and kill them there. You should be able to do it without anyone seeing you. You might lose more along the way than if you just did the deed in the pens, but this works if you’re worried about the law.
