oBeing one of the 16 legendary animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, it is important to know how to track and kill the legendary buck. Though it is not an easy task, as you have to go out of your way to find one, it can be accomplished with these simple steps.

To find the legendary buck, you will have to go to the North West of Strawberry. Once you arrive at the spot, a black box will appear telling you that you have arrived at the right spot.

Step 2: Choose Your Weapon

Once you find the buck, wait for it to come to a standstill, aim for its head with your most powerful weapon, and fire as many shots as you can. Once you shoot, the buck will run, so it is important that you run after it and kill it as quickly as possible. If you let it get away, make sure you sleep nearby for 72 hours before trying again.
