How to Hunt the Western Mountain Coati

  • Move very slowly and listen; these animals often give themselves away by sound first.
  • Use a small, in-class load so the trophy and pelt stay intact.
  • Sit near water edges, burrows or feeding spots in the right window rather than walking.
  • A dog helps with tracking and recovery in thick cover.
  • Trophies: only max-difficulty animals can reach diamond. Check the trophy rating with binoculars, use in-class ammo and kill with one clean shot to pass the harvest check.
