John Marston and Son: Jack Marston

Learn how to hunt Elk with Jack Marston in Red Dead Redemption. This guide covers the 'John Marston and Son' mission, including tips for taking down your targets and selling your spoils.

Alright, so this mission, 'John Marston and Son,' is a pretty chill one. It's all about you and your boy Jack going out for a hunt in the wilderness. You'll start by chatting with Jack over by a tree. After that, just follow your trusty hunting dog as it leads you into the woods.

Your first big target is an Elk. The game really pushes you to use the Sniper Rifle here, and for good reason. You'll want to aim for a headshot to take this big fella down quickly and cleanly. Once you've got it, approach it and skin it. Then, it's back to following that dog!

This time, you'll run into a whole herd of Elk. Your job is to take them all down. Make sure you wait for Jack to skin one of them before you finish off the rest. After you've bagged your game, head over to Manzanita and sell all those Elk skins. If you've got any other loot you've been holding onto, now's a good time to offload it too.

Once you're done with the selling, just ride back with Jack to the barn. Once you reach it, the mission will wrap up. Easy peasy!
