For the Red Dead Redemption 2 variant, see Deer (RDR 2).

Deer are an animal found in Red Dead Redemption. They are a ruminant mammal species found throughout the map.

Description[]

Deer can be hunted in the game in both single player and multiplayer. In single player, Marston can skin and collect commodity goods from the kill in order to sell for cash at a later time.

There are many deer all over New Austin, notably north and south of Armadillo.

Location[]

Deer are found almost everywhere in the map at any time, and are one of the most abundant animals in Red Dead Redemption, although they are less commonly found in Nuevo Paraiso. They are found abundantly in the Great Plains and Tall Trees and also at Riley's Charge in Cholla Springs.

A good spot is in the early morning hours, while it is still dark, near the entrance to Beecher's Hope. Walking around about 2-3 a.m. will have Deer continuously spawn about halfway to the house.

Challenges[]

Rank 2 of the Master Hunter Challenges requires the player to kill and skin 5 deer. Skinning a Buck will not give Deer Skin.

Trivia[]

  • Dead deer can be found at some hunters camps.
  • A corpse of a deer can be seen during the mission "Exodus in America".
  • It can be noted that while it is a deer, based on the fact that there is also a Buck that can hunted, it should be called a Doe, as "deer" is just the species, and the Buck is also a deer.
  • In real life this species is the white-tailed deer.
  • Deer do not appear in Undead Nightmare.
  • If you shoot a deer while it is in mid-prance, it will sometimes do a flip before hitting the ground (depending on timing and weapon.)
  • Sometimes after firing a weapon deer may freeze up rather than flee.
