Hunting locations can be revealed by approaching yellow road signs or reading hunting magazines found in different buildings and houses. Once revealed, they’ll be permanently added to the map for easy reference.
Also, having the King of the Jungle and Harvest Master (Survivalist) perks will help in completing these challenges faster. The former reduces animal damage and prevents prey animals from fleeing while the latter doubles the amount of items you can get from plants and animals. Kills from guns will still yield normal amount of skin though kills from arrows alone yield the best amount of skin per animal. Avoid using high-powered, vehicle-mounted machine guns, explosives, or fire since that will damage the animal and will yield burnt or damaged skin instead. Consider using baits to lure in predatory animals like wolves, mountain lions, and bears.
For the fishing challenges, make sure to have the Fisher King perk, which tires out fishes faster and unlocks additional flies/lures to attract rarer and larger fishes.
