Hunting is one of the most important things players can do in Red Dead Redemption 2, as it's a great way to make money as well as provide for the Van Der Linde Gang camp, and it's necessary to craft some of the best upgrades in the game. One of the better upgrades players can craft for the tomahawk, for example, is the Homing Tomahawk upgrade, but it requires an owl feather to craft, and owls are not necessarily easy to find.

Before players go on the hunt for owls in Red Dead Redemption 2, they will want to make sure that they are properly equipped. In order to ensure that they get a perfect kill, it's best that players use the Varmint Rifle when hunting owls. It may also help to bring along Predator Bait to try to lure some owls, and players should be sure to hunt at night since owls are nocturnal creatures.

Once they're prepared, the next step to hunting owls in Red Dead Redemption 2 is finding where they're located. As it so happens, owls can appear pretty much anywhere in the open world, but there is one area where they are far easier to find than anywhere else in the game. That location is Tall Trees, and we've marked it on the map.

Players may notice that Tall Trees is located in West Elizabeth, near Blackwater. In the early stages of the game, this section of the map will be rather hostile to Arthur and the rest of the gang, so it's better to worry about owl hunting a bit later on in the story.

In the meantime, there are three different kinds of owls that Red Dead Redemption 2 players can find in the game world. They include the California Horned Owl, the Coastal Horned Owl, and the Great Horned Owl. Unfortunately, there are no legendary animal variants for the owls. All of the owls can be killed with the Varmint Rifle without players risking ruining the carcass, and their crafting parts should be fairly universal in terms of crafting upgrades, arrows, and other items.

With this information in mind, Red Dead Redemption 2 players should find it easier to find and hunt owls in the game.
