Bounty Hunting in RDR2 tracks outlaws either by their locations or specific walkthroughs. This hunting begins at the sheriff’s office, where you’d have to catch an outlaw, either dead or alive. The stronger the outlaw you face, the better the rewards. Rockstar doesn’t want you to get bored with Bounty Hunting.
But fear not because this RDR2 Guide will definitely help you find and hunt the various Bounty Hunters, their locations, and how to find them. To bring a target back alive, knock them out or lasso them back to the Sheriff.

Conditions: To start this bounty hunter mission, complete Chapter 2’s ‘Good, Honest, Snake Oil’.
Location: Fort east of Emerald Station, Saint-Denis
Lindsay Woffard is one of the targets as an outlaw. You can turn him in DEAD or ALIVE. Your choice.
The poster for this outlaw can be found at the Saint Denis police station. Once you view the poster of this outlaw, you can find the target to the east of Emerald Station in a well-guarded fort.

How to Unlock Bounty Hunting
To unlock Bounty Hunting, you must complete the mission ‘Good, Honest, Snake Oil’ available from the start of Chapter 2 to the end of Chapter 5. Go to the Sheriff’s Office and inspect the bounties board in Red Dead Redemption 2, and you’ll activate a bounty.
The general location of the target will be marked on your map. Head there, and the outlaw should be in that location somewhere. Use your skills to figure out the target’s exact location, usually inside a well-fortified location or a camp, and defeat them.
Always try to capture the enemy ‘alive’; some hunts will fail if you kill the outlaw. After you turn in the outlaw in the good hands of the law, be sure to collect your bounty at the desk of the Sheriff or the person in charge.
