No no, I mean 'Cattle'. 
Cattle translates in my country to the same word we use for Livestock. That's why I thought Livestock was the same thing as Cattle. :) 

Livestock is ALL farm animals. Cattle, sheep, pigs. Etc. I think it’s weird that your language uses the same word for farm animals for one specific animal as well.

Treasure hunts have earned me the most money. Hunting and selling pelts & carcasses is the second biggest.

How do you get the treasure hunt?

Someone gave me a treasure hunt map in the beginning but disappeared from my inventory 😔

I was mailed a treasure map at level five, and level ten. Then I found a third after clearing out a Skinner Brother's camp, and looting them. I'm also close to level fifteen and will get another treasure map when I rank up.

So far my favourite method of playing the game is to turn it off and play something else.

Killing cattle and deer around Valentine and sell the entire *unskinned!* carcass at the butcher.  In a Posse of 4, each time, 1 sells all stuff. 

 

Gets around 25 total. 

 

Repeat process. 

 It is better to skin the animals because they sell for the same as unskinned ones in Online. 

This has the benefit of selling the skin and other materials on top of the carcass.

 

Hunting is my favorite way to make money. I invested in a Vermint Rifle for getting a lot of bird and other small prey and a Bolt Action rifle with scope for bigger ones, kills everything one shot, made it so much easier. On top of that I steal an NPCs horse to store up to 6 animals.

Just  need to make sure I ride the stolen horse because it won't follow you and despawn quickly if you get too far away.

 

Depending on how lucky you are with the spawns you can make like 50 bucks from a trip to one town to the next.

It seems the best way I’ve found to make money is to do quick job story missions over and over, sometimes you’ll get some that pay pretty well and most are also pretty fun.

I did a mission for bonnie that lasted 15 minutes and I got $2

True, found that out a few tries after this post. Updated the op

 

 

Edit:

I can now easily make 75 - 125 bucks a hour, just by hunting outside of Valentine or Blackwater in lobbies where there are barely any players. Killing a 3 stars whitetail buck pays me about 15 with max honor, excluding the meat, which I use for food.

Good idea

 

However, my local butcher (in Tumbleweed, I’m camped close by) won’t buy any of my skins.  It says he doesn’t accept these items when I try to sell pigs. I guess I will try another town.

I don’t think honor matters much online. I have max dishonor (long story) and my buddy has good honor and in the catalogue everything was the same price. Maybe that’s just buying through the catalogue tho I don’t know.

Ugh....

"Thanks for clearing our Fort Mercer. Here's your $1.52!"

Now I'm a third of the way to owning my very own horse brush.

 

So far Wolf carcasses have been a good source ($3 each depending on condition) and grizzly skins in any condition. Since RDRO isn't exactly crawling with grizzlies and wolves, I've been shooting anything that moves and stacking pelts.

The jewellery box method is decent money but too competitive now. Hunting is probably the most reliable way if you can get the spawns and have the weapons needed.

 

Fishing with a lure is also good but ya need a lure, fishing with the early baits is maybe 60-80 dollars an hour but it's very repetitive.

The treasure maps while a once in a while thing is a very lucrative and good way to get money.

 

Each chest so far has earned me around $75-$125 as well as a decent amount of gold nuggets.

 

Hunting is the next one for me aside from the missions and show downs.

I just spent one day and night cycle killing everything I could and made ~$80. I tried to stick to small things like birds and rabbits so that I wouldn't lose everything when the griefers killed me. I ended up with a 3 star deer buck, two 3 star geese and a crapton of pelts. It seems like there is a bug right now, everytime I killed a rabbit, skunk, opossum, badger, or raccoon with my varmint rifle I got a perfect pelt (but not a perfect carcass).

I would focus on deers a lot more. Even a poor deer carcass and the pelt pays more than any stranger mission. I mostly use two horses and always kill two 3 star whitetail deers (Preferably bucks). Skin them and carry carcasses on horse.

 

Then just shoot any other with a rifle or repeater, headshots are 9/10 critical, and skin them. 

 

If you find any 2 or 3 star animal on the way back, kill it, skin it and carry the carcass yourself.

 

Guaranteed you'll have about 40 - 50 bucks on one hunt. 

 

I always played hunting games, so for me this is actually very enjoyable.

The big money is in the main missions for the first time. After that, treasure hunts.

 

Then your "big money" opportunities are more or less gone. You can still get semi-decent money though. The varmint rifle was a good buy. Rabbits and squirrels, other small animals - they're everywhere. So just going from a to b you can pick up good condition pelts and bodies along the way. They add up. I've now spent all the rest of my money on a bolt action rifle and a fishing rod. The bolt action opens more doors regarding hunting, and should give a big edge over other players and their carbine repeaters. I see some potential in fishing.

 

 

It's not a huge payout yet, but I'm curious if you could make a decent amount getting bigger fish. Preferably big, but not quite so big you can't store it in your satchel. Then you could get a load of them.

How many pelts can you hold? I assumed only one because you have to put it on the horse?

Depends on the animal.

 

Small pelts don't even go on your horse. Rabbits, etc. As far as I know you can hold a good amount of them.

 

Slightly larger pelts, like deers - those go on your horse, but you can stack them. I think you can fit quite a lot on there.

 

It's only the big animals whose pelt will take up all your room. So, I think a bear would take it all up. I think anyway. Those might even stack, but I doubt it.

Each and every time I hunt, I get a ton of pelts, only to have it all taken away by disconnects. Totally unplayable for me. I'll try playing again whenever they get their server problem fixed.

What I did:

Main missions and treasure hunt 5, 10, 15.

Use the money to buy a bow(cause it helps you farm health in hideouts if you play stealthily) and a Bolt Action Rifle.

I didn't buy the Varmint as it's free for me due to my edition, but I'd also recommend that. Have all the tools necessary for hunting

 

Hunting is the best way to make money

Herbs are a waste of time, every herb sells for 25 cents

Even if you don't want to sell the pelt, shoot an animal anyways so you can sell the meat/feathers and excess parts

If you're walking through water be sure to have your horse stomp fish so you can snag an extra few dollars

I might buy the fishing rod when I go Plume hunting later since I'm the right rank now. Might as well have it in case I need it later.

Lasso, bowie knife. Find 3 star Florida cow, lasso, pull it in close then O/B to slit it's throat. Perfect 3 star pelt, goes for 4-ish bucks. Sell to butcher, go back to farm... repeat.

Is it a guide to find tressure maps?

People say it’s located on the gang hideouts, have taken out 3 now without getting one.

 

Seems very hard to get some money here, it could be to mutch of a grind like gtao.

Same problem here, I have downed 3 hideouts and never found a treasure map. And yeah I spared the leader :/

I think hunting and selling everything is the best way to make money as for now

Starting over and doing the story missions on repeat has been very profitable as long as you remember not to buy weapons.

Hunting in the bayou area. Since the game keeps crashing, i just kill birds and other small animals, so i don't lose stuff.

Thankfully, egret and pelican feathers pay a small fortune and at night, there are owls, skunks, muskrats and raccoons.

 

Did anyone upgrade their saddlebags btw? Can you carry more than 10 feathers of each bird, if you upgrade them?
