How to unlock the Been There, Done That achievement in Far Cry 5 - Definitive Guide

This is done by completing all the challenges in the Hunting section of the challenge screen. You have to skin all the animals and catch all the fish listed there.
The animals are :

Deer: South of Fall's End is a hunting ground. South of Green-Busch Fertilizer Co. Northwest and South of Lorna's Truck Stop.
Pronghorn: East and West of Whistling Beaver Brewery.
Elk: Directly West of US Auto which is north west of Fall's End.
Bison: Directly West of Moonflower Trailer Park there is hunting ground on the hill.
Caribou: Directly East from Bo's Cave (Which is East down the hill from PIN-KO Radar Station) there is a hunting stand and a bunch of Caribou around. Directly South of Wolf's Den/Helipad. Southwest of the F.A.N.G. Center.
Moose:Directly East and Southwest of Peaches Taxidermy. South of Drubman Marina. Judge Moose also count.
Hare: Directly North and North West from the Moonflower Trailer Park, East of Dead Man's Mill (Southwestish of Mastodon Geothermal Park). I used Boomer and Peaches to catch them because they are fast
Boar: Directly West of Moonflower Trailer Park. Across the road there is a hunting ground. West of Jefferson Lookout Tower, across the road below the mountain. Directly West of St. Isidore School.
Skunk: Northeast of Moonflower Trailer Park, Northwest of King's Hot Springs Hotel (Below the road running along the river). Southeast from the Ranger Station in Dutch's Region (across the water or Northeast from the bridge from Dutch to Faith's Region).
Wolverine: Directly North of Doverspike Compound (Northwest of US Auto). West of Jefferson Lookout Tower, on top of the mountain.
Wolves: West of the Baron Lumber Mill. Northwest of ELk Jaw Lodge. South of Catamount Mines (Southeast part of John's Region). Judge Wolves also count.
Cougar: Southeast of Rae-Rae’s Pumpkin Farm, East from Gardenview Ciderworks. South of Joseph's Word, down Angel's Peak. North of 8-Bit Pizza Bar.
American Black Bear: Use bait to attract American Black Bears (Grizzly too). If you’re hunting them go directly north of Hope County Jail or South across the river. East of John's Gate down the hill. West of Seed Ranch in the forest next to the airstrip also South of Lamb of God Church.
Grizzly Bear: East of F.A.N.G. Center, slightly East of Haskell Lookout Tower on the hill. Between the 2 Caribou Markers East of Bo's Cave (East down the mountain from PIN-KO Radar Station, across the street). Southwest of Whitetail Park Ranger Station.
Turkey: North of Fall's End along the water, South of Deep North Irrigation Reservoir across the road.
Bald Eagle: There is a Eagle marker Southeast of Copperhead Rail Yard, East of Roberts Cabin on the top of the hill (west of the Cougar marker). Also find them is Raptor Peak in the North East of Faith's Region. There are about 6 to 7 that fly around at the top and you may have to shoot the civilians otherwise they will kill the eagles and they will fall off the mountain and be a pain to find and skin, they Eagles disappear after you complete the Prepper Stash on Raptor Peak.

You can kill the animals using your "Specialist" that you have assigned by aiming with cn_LT and then using either cn_left or cn_right to have your specialist attack. Be careful not to use anyone in a plane or helicopter because they will damage the skin and I am not 100% sure if that still counts or not.

I had Boomer with me because he is good at spotting animals I may not notice and I also used him to chase down animals I wounded. I used the 50 cal Sniper because it is a insta head shot kill on most animals except Bears it took 2 shots.

For the fish refer to

to find all the locations and also tackle that achievement!

Eagles will not show up at Raptor Peak if you have completed the Prepped Stash there. Be sure to get your skins before doing it. Been running around for two hours switching between Roberts Cabin and Snowshoe Lake without a single spawn.

Had no luck with eagles in the place you mentioned, there is an actual spawn for them in John's area due south of rae-rae's pumpkin patch. From the patch keeping going south cross the road and it's in this section on the hill, it looks like a brown section surrounded by green on the map, It's nearly in line with roberts cabin here.

They're not guaranteed spawns, nothing is, but I used these locations to get my caribou. I had to roam around a bit for a while but they'll appear.

For anyone who's counters are glitching on elks, I found a solution. Play in co-op! My elks glitched on my game, my wife's caribou glitched on hers, but she joined my game and the skins counted everytime we killed and skinned one. Note that we have the perk to get 2X skins, but it only gave us 1 each kill while in co op.

One problem I ran into was that my caribou kills gave me elk skins. Turns out the quest "Flavor Country" (the one where you have to run over antlered animals) was the reason for this. Once I completed the quest, I was able to get caribou skins again

To add to what Gendral II said above, I was finding that killing elks wasn't counting towards the hunting challenge until after I finished Flavor Country (after accepting the quest).

Skinning an animal is what counts, not the condition of the skin.

I love the way Boomer chases down Hares and brings them back to you in their mouth.

Found another spot for eagles which might help though not sure if it's only quest related or not. The side mission is in Jackob's region and the marker will be called Bo Adams It's towards the left side of the area.

The quest is called Nature Provides. The second part to this involves climbing a mountain and at the top there are about 6/7 eagles. I'm pretty sure these will only be there during the mission but because there is no fast travel I haven't climbed back up to check.

Pro-tip: If you cannot find any of the animal you're looking for, it's likely one of the side missions is interfering. I spent over an hour looking for a single caribou but couldn't find one ANYwhere on the map. It turned out a random side mission (which had nothing to do with hunting!) I had picked up was somehow stopping them from spawning, and once I completed it they immediately started showing up.

I found a definite spawn for skunks.....in the Whitetail Mountains, go to Dansky Cabin (directly west of Stone Ridge Chalet (site of Eviction Notice, a main story quest) there is also a Hard Bull Trout location right smack between the two locations) Dansky Cabin has a prepper stash and an album icon (if you were able to buy the map)

Facing the cabin, go to the right of the cabin and follow the trail, (if you are doing the prepper stash mission, you have to go this way anyways) cross the the tiny wooden bridge, around the corner to the left there is a skunk right in the middle of the trail, if not, just fast travel back to Dansky Cabin and follow the trail again......I wanted to test and see if this was a definite reliable spawn, so I tried again 6 more times, and there was a skunk there 4 out of the 6 times I fast traveled back.....hope this helps someone.....

Btw, I hate that "Flavor Country" mission, hit a deer with a truck, get out, and the damn deer just gets back up and runs away!

The guides above are very good the animal I struggled most with was the Bald Eagle. I found a reliable spawn point up behind the veterans centre.
When there I got 3 to spawn in about 15 mins, shot them with a shotgun to get them to divebomb me and when close enough shot them in the face.
Hope this helps.

The Bald Eagle is by far the hardest to get. Most of the other animals will be easy to find, and for the fish refer to my guide for:
Far Cry 5Hope County Master AnglerThe Hope County Master Angler achievement in Far Cry 5 worth 97 pointsAcquire all 4 Fishing Rods (Campaign only).

Here is the location of the Bald Eagle that I used (the other one never spawned eagles for me):

- Now I found it seemed to trigger the eagle to come out when I was fishing in the nearby water, as seen in the video below. Then all you have to do is kill and kill it, fast travel, and do it again :)

There are a total of 28 Hunting and Fishing challenges that correspond to 16 animals and 12 fish. You can track this by pressing > Challenges > under the hunting section, you must complete all of these challenges for the trophy, it is in your best interest to do so as they also award perk points.

I would advise hunting any animal you happen to come across naturally. Do not actively hunt down animals until you unlock Boomer the dog in John's Region, because he will mark nearby animals making this considerably easier. You will capture every type of fish whilst going for the Hope County Master Angler trophy as well.

Do note that animal spawns can be somewhat sporadic. The hunting areas marked on the map are general and they can spawn within 100-200 metres around the area; if you have Boomer with you, he will sniff out and mark nearby animals. Fast travel back and forth between areas if you can't find any animals. You can also use the 'Ultimate Hunter' homeopathic to temporarily mark nearby animals as well.

Animals
  • Deer
  • Pronghorn
  • Elk
  • Caribou
  • Bison
  • Moose
  • Hare (you can find plenty of these at the Harris residence in John's region)
  • Boar
  • Skunk
  • Wolverine
  • Wolf
  • Cougar
  • Black Bear
  • Grizzly Bear
  • Turkey
  • Eagle
Fish
  • Kokanees
  • Artic Grayling
  • Golden Trout
  • Rock Bass
  • Smallmouth
  • Largemouth
  • Bull Trout
  • Lake Trout
  • Rainbow Trout
  • Chinook
  • Pallid Sturgeon
  • Paddlefish
Below are video and text guides from PowerPyx detailing the locations of every animal and fish in the game.

There's a total of 28 Challenges you must complete for a total of 28 animals (16 land and 12 fish). Some of the Challenges have multiple tiers, so keep an eye out for them. It's worth noting that making progress towards the "Hope County Master Angler" achievement will help with the fish-related challenges.

The location of each animal varies, so make sure you're looking out for the hunting signs scattered around Hope County. It's also worth completing the "Man's Best Friend" quest in John's Region so that you can unlock Boomer as a Fang for Hire. Boomer has the ability to sniff out and mark any nearby animals.

Below is a list of all the animals you'll have to hunt and to see your current Challenge progress press and then tab across to "Challenges > Hunting."

Land

  • Deer
  • Pronghorns
  • Elks
  • Caribou
  • Bison
  • Moose
  • Hares
  • Boars
  • Skunks
  • Wolverines
  • Wolves
  • Cougars
  • Black Bears
  • Grizzly bears
  • Turkeys
  • Eagles

Fish

  • Kokanees
  • Arctic Garylings
  • Golden Trouts
  • Rock Bass
  • Smallmouths
  • Largemouths
  • Bull Trout
  • Lake Trout
  • Rainbow Trout
  • Chinooks
  • Pallid Sturgeons
  • Paddlefish

To spawn hares in the Vera region, try running in tall grass, which causes hallucinations.

You can shoot eagles on the zipline in John's region, although there is no point on the map. Three times there along Fast Travel to the Lincoln Lookout Tower point and the job was done.

If you have a problem finding eagles , and the caches and places of simple respawn have already been completed, then they can be found in the location "Snowshoe Lake" (Jacob Region) - in the northwest.

The eagle usually does not spawn immediately and flies around the red dot in the screenshot (if it does not spawn after a couple of minutes, you can go to the location again):

There is such a caribou deer, it is exactly like wapiti (even when you skin the caribou skins, it will be written that this is the skin of wapiti) there is a place (probably the only one)
where there are a lot of caribou mixed with other deer. It is located east of the Bo cave, where we stand a hunting stand (or tower)

I'll add to the tips above.
There is another place where you can consistently find 1 or 2 hares. They are located in the Jacob region near the fast travel point "Frank's Hut".

Eagles shoot at Lincoln Tower, John's region. We went down the cable to the first platform, there will be a bird sitting on a branch in front, we jump off, get closer, shoot and take it, then quickly move back to the tower. If you shoot from the platform and go down, the corpse disappears.

The corpse does not disappear, it simply rolls down the slope. The animal's corpse can be found using the compass, it is marked with a cross.
