Red Dead Redemption 2 Where To Find Perfect Hides, Pelts, Skins, Antlers & Carcasses

To get the perfect pelt, you need to do two things. Whenever you find an animal for the first time, study it. You can do this from range with binoculars. Zoom in on the animal and study it and then reveal its information. This will tell you what weapon you require in order to kill it for the perfect hide. You also need to ensure the animal is 3 star rated.
