2. Master Hunter 2: 3 perfect rabbit pelts near Clemens Point

   • Where: Near Clemens Point (map at 2:07:06 - Flatneck Station, Rhodes Hall, Eris Field)

   The favourite rabbit spot is near Clemens Point - "look at all those wabbits!". Use the small-game weapon so the pelt stays perfect.

   Coco’s tip: General tip (not from the video): a varmint rifle or small game arrows keep small pelts perfect.
