Unable to skin Legendary Animals or losing their pelts in Red Dead Redemption 2

Last Updated: May 1, 2024

Question: What happens if I cannot skin a Legendary Animal or lose its pelt?

Answer: After killing a Legendary Animal in Red Dead Redemption 2 you can skin them to sell the pelt or in some cases even the carcass to a Trapper. If for some reason you cannot skin a Legendary Animal upon killing it or somehow lose the pelt or carcass before getting to a Trapper, the items will automatically be in the Trapper’s inventory after a short delay. You will then be able to use these items as normal at these shops.
