And it's indicative of a game that hasn't really figured out spawn times. What's particularly frustrating is that this quest has been in the game throughout the tests, so it already has a reputation for being bullshit, but it's still here and just as much bullshit as before. The risk here is that the time it takes for you to run up to the corpse might be just enough for another player to start skinning your kill. If it's a hostile creature, it will attack you, making things easier, but skittish beasties like deer will flee, forcing you to give chase and kill it from range. Otherwise these hunts are just like any other quests: you go to the area, you bump into the mob, you kill it. You won't be able to track the big predators until 175. You can eventually see animals on your compass, but not until you've levelled the skinning skill up to 25, and then only small ones. In New World, you have to earn that kind of utility. Some games with prominent hunting support this with additional systems, like tracking in Red Dead Redemption 2. Killing regular animals is definitely one of the weaker common RPG quests, and even for an MMO with survival game vibes like New World, where these animals provide you with lots of helpful resources, the vast number of these humdrum tasks is egregious. This is frequently wolves, but pumas, deer, boars and even sheep must be put out of their misery.

New World is teeming with wildlife, and a significant number of early quests, most of them generic and repeatable, task you with culling their numbers.
