Sucks that you can only hunt the legendary panther if you do the hunting challenges first. They are so tedious I dont see myself completing them.

I knocked the hunting challenges out yesterday and for the most part they we're pretty quick... All except the kill and skin 5 cougars with your bow. Fuck that challenge, it took me like 5 real time hours to find those 5 and the skin part of the challenge isn't in the description so I killed the first two with dynamite and they didn't count. They only respawn once every 2-4 in game days and there is a lockout on repeat sleeping to advance time.

Yep that is exactly the one I am having problems with now. :/

This is how I did it, and the cougars would consistently show up after 2-3 days but sometimes wolves or a bear would also spawn and scare it away.

Thanks, I will try that out! Have you tried the cougar spawn in new austin as well?

Nah, I'm still in the beginning of chapter 6 so haven't gotten down there yet.

I used new Austin. Basically just sprinted around the spawn north of tumbleweed and central cholla springs constantly until my horse bucked me or I saw a cougar chasing a deer. If you down it and have the execute button, don’t hit it because it won’t count as an arrow kill—shoot it

I had more frequent spawns from the mapped cougar location northwest of Annesburg. I just ran back and forth NW and SW on the trail near the drawn cougar image, zig zagging into and out of the forest until one spawned, nabbed it, then slept a few times for the maximum amount to get the next spawn. I got my final two here a bit faster than I got the first two in West Elizabeth.

Edit: have not unlocked New Austin so can’t comment on that location

Exactly what I did. I even had a random guy shoot the cougar before I could get it with my bow
