Panther on the Prowl: Where to Look
Florida Panthers are shy creatures, much like that creepy guy who keeps asking to borrow a cup of sugar and never returns it. They tend to prowl the swamps near Lakay and Butcher Creek, specifically the area between Old Harry Fen and Catfish Jackson's.
Word to the Wise: Panthers are nocturnal, so your best bet is to visit after dusk. Just remember, night vision isn't a thing in the wild west, so pack some powerful binoculars and channel your inner owl.
Pro Tip: While you're waiting, keep an ear out for the panther's distinctive snarl. It sounds kinda like your grandpa after a particularly spicy chili cook-off.

Panther Hunting 101: Don't Be That Guy
Let's be honest, blasting everything that moves with your trusty Schofield isn't exactly the M naturalist approach. Here's how to snag that perfect panther pelt with finesse (and maybe a sprinkle of luck).
- Silent Stalker: These cats have ears like satellites, so ditch the six-shooter serenade and creep around like a shadow.
- Bait and Wait: Craft yourself some potent predator bait (trust us, the regular stuff is like kitty kibble to these apex predators) and lure the panther out of hiding. Just be patient, partner, this ain't a fast-food drive-thru.
- Sharpshooter Showdown: Once the panther is in sight, use a scoped rifle for a clean kill. A perfect pelt is the whole point, right?
Uwaga (Polish for Attention!): Don't get too close! Panthers are lightning fast and have a serious case of the Mondays. Trust me, you don't want to be on the receiving end of their claws.
The Finishing Touches: A Panther Pelt for All Occasions
So you've bagged your beauty (metaphorically speaking, of course), now what? Well, you can skin the panther and craft yourself a spiffy new panther cloak. Because who wouldn't want to look fabulous while wrangling outlaws? You can also sell the pelt for a pretty penny, enough to buy yourself a new hat (or several gallons of that mysterious elixir known as "medicine").
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
High Noon Showdown: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can use the panther claw to craft a potent panther trinket that gives you a night vision boost. Just remember, with great power comes the responsibility to not look like a complete weirdo sneaking around in the dark.

How do I get a perfect panther pelt?
Use a scoped rifle for a clean headshot. Anything else and you'll be left with a mangled mess of fur, good for scaring pigeons at best.
What if the panther doesn't spawn?
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Save your game before you start hunting. If the panther doesn't show up, reload your save and try again. Patience, young grasshopper!
Can I tame a panther?
Sure, if you have a death wish. These are wild animals, not cuddly house cats.
Is there anything cooler than a panther cloak?
Well, a T-Rex skull hat might come close, but otherwise, that panther cloak is pretty darn snazzy.
