The horned owl is a moderate sized bird in Red Dead Redemption 2. They tend to lurk in tall trees or on rooftops in the night, and can be useful with their drops. Since they are birds of prey, you can use predator bait to help hut them. It does not come in a legendary variant.
Best Weapons To Kill The Owl With
Because the owl is only a moderately sized animal, it is important that you do not use too powerful of a weapon, as that could ruin the kill. Thus, we recommend using the Varmint Rifle since it is accurate but only fires with 0.22 caliber ammo. Any bullets can be used except explosive bullets if you wish to get a perfect kill. You can also use the Repeater rifle if you do not have the Varmint Rifle.
Owl Locations
The owl spawns in many locations throughout the map, typically in tall trees. It only spawns at night though, so it is not worth looking for during the day. Owls will regularly spawn in the same spots, so if you find a specific place where owls spawn, make sure to take note of it so you can take advantage of it later.
