How to unlock the Bountiful achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 - Definitive Guide

Firstly, turn autosave off and make a back up save as you need to play honourably to unlock missions for Lending a Hand.
There are five states but you only need four for this achievement, according to comments below, so thanks for the feedback:
1. Lemoyne (do this last)
2. New Hanover
3. Ambarino
4. West Elizabeth
For New Austin, you automatically have $250 bounty here by default due to events in Blackwater mentioned in the prologue and chapter one. It is possible to remove this bounty later in the game and comments say they did not/cannot get another bounty in New Austin, so don't worry about that state.
To get a bounty, head into a town and cause chaos by shooting people and animals. It doesn't matter if you die when you are obtaining a bounty, the time only matters when you have all 5 bounties active.
Ambarino can be a bit tricky as there is not a major town so kill someone on your way there, mount them to your horse and then when you see another civilian, they will alert the authorities.
EDIT: Maxumulli0n has suggested an alternative way to get a bounty in Ambarino:
The last one is Lemoyne and I recommend going to Rhodes for this. Rhodes has a mill at the north-western part of town. Head there and to the room inside, going up the ramp. Use the sawn-off shotgun on the authorities that enter from the ramp or climbing up the ledge to the left. Once you have at least $250, let them kill you.
Once you respawn, head to the saloon and rent the room. Sleep 18 hours twice (max allowed) and then go upstairs and play blackjack for about 5 minutes. Head back downstairs and rent the room again, sleep for 18 hours and it should unlock. If not, sleep again.
You can not be attacked by bounty hunters whilst playing a mini-game, and they never started a pursuit whilst I was in the saloon. I stayed there for another 4 days after the achievement unlocked and nobody came.

For Ambarino, stand near the train tracks heading east to west and stop the train in Ambarino. Eventually, the sheriff's will get alerted and take out as many as you can to get your bounty up.
There are several comments below for Ambarino alternatives as it can be quite tricky. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.The last one is Lemoyne and I recommend going to Rhodes for this.

How and when do you get to new Austin?

You don’t need to go to New Austin. You automatically have a bounty in Blackwater as part of the story.

I can not do any better than how LuckyConquerer2 has done his guide. I just thought I'd post a guide to which one and in what order. Suggestions before you start, have a good horse, bring the ammo, tonics, and whatever else you fancy. If you are stopping off at a town, make your horse accessible so you can make a quick getaway.
Start in Ambarino and go on the lower path which runs parallel to the train tracks. Kill the first guy you encounter, and stow him on your horse. Ride along and meet your witnesses, who can then get you the law and bring them to the train tracks. Kill as many as you can, and kill anybody who happens to come by train. It was here where I noticed that after the second train, they seemed to stop throughout which was useful. This will also be your longest one due to the low frequency of travelers.
Once you hit $250, time to move onto Valentine to get a stagecoach.
Go to Armadillo in New Austin. Kill a random cholera infected person, stow again, and make way to Macfarlane's Ranch. Hopefully along the way you will bump into more people who can help get you some heat. Reach your $250 mark, move onto Strawberry! I risked the bounty hunters and rode to it, but however you get there is fine.
When you get to Strawberry, stand at one of the four corner exits to the town. Here you can kill who you need without worrying as much about where they are coming from as you only have 3 directions. Make Strawberry strawberry coloured on your mad rage, get to $250, and move to Valentine.
Should be a quick dash to Valentine, but as you did with Strawberry choose a spot (I went by the sheep auction) and go for it. Get your $250 bounty and get out of there heading towards Rhodes.
If, like me, you are worried about Bounty Hunters I would highly advice riding along the train tracks. Never saw a single one this way.
Stop in Rhodes by the tracks (for quick getaway means), and start to shoot up the place. Once you hit $250 you do need to move. Stay along the tracks and head to St Denis.
St Denis is your last stop. When you get here, head to a local saloon. Hire a room, rent a bath, play some poker, sleep as much as you can and hopefully your achievement pops up like mine did half way through a sleep.
Again, like me, if you then leave the saloon and mess up going to the station to pay off what is accumulated in bounty ($1600 for me) by running over a pedestrian who didn't look where they are going! You will need to head up to Van Horn or Rhodes as St Denis goes on immediate lock down.
Hope this helps someone.

To unlock the Bountiful trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must commit enough crimes in each state to earn a $250 bounty in each, causing bounty hunters to actively pursue you. Once you have earned the $250 in the final state, you must survive three consecutive days on the run from the hunters.
Ambarino
Lemoyne
West Elizabeth
New Hanover
New Austin
I would recommend leaving this until the epilogue so that you have a good chance of survival and also to allow you to have finished off the below trophy, which requires high honour:
The Lending a Hand trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2 worth 56 pointsComplete all optional Honor story missions.
If you care about your honour levels at this point, make a manual save. Earning $250 bounty in each state is a lot of crime.
The easiest way to earn $250 is to take out a lot of law enforcement. Although this is pretty straight forward in every area with a major town, Ambarino doesn't really have one. The easiest way to sort this out in Ambarino is to wait for a train to come along (or hop on one elsewhere and allow it to travel through) and then rob it. Law enforcement will come after you, and there is plenty of cover on a train to take them all out while you rack up a bounty. You can even blow up the train engine with dynamite to get a rapid bump (I immediately hit $900 when blowing up a train in Ambarino).
Note: You don't have to survive from start to finish with this; if you get killed with e.g. 3/5 states at $250, just carry on with the next state when you resurrect. All that matters is that you survive three consecutive days once all states have a $250 bounty.
Once you have your $250 in each state, you can easily survive three days by camping out in the wilderness for the maximum allowed time, leaving the camp and setting up another. You'll find that you can't immediately go back to sleep in the same camp each time because normally bounty hunters will have caught up with you somewhat -- the game won't let you sleep or make a new camp while there is an active pursuit. You can either deal with them or, even easier, just ride off in the opposite direction to their red markers on your mini map until you are able to set up a new camp. Three or four sleeps should do it. I recommend New Austin for this camping trip as there's not a lot of law enforcement or innocent bystanders to make things more difficult.

Worked perfectly. The only things I would recommend would be:
1) Engage with law enforcement with a lot of medicines and ammo for your favourite weapon
2) Try to engage/stay quite close to the state border, so if the heat comes up you can easily run away to the next area. It's not the smartest idea to start the shootout in the centre of Blackwater or Saint Denis. Stay at the outskirts of town.
3) Leave Ambarino state as the last one. After blowing up the train and shootout you can head up north to the glacier area and camp from time to time to let the time pass. Same with New Austin of you prefer it as the last one. It is a desert...
4) And most important: When shooting stay on your legs, not on your horse. Your horse is an easy target and there is nothing worse than having to escape the area on foot and leaving your horse behind injured. It's a big No No.

See, Platinum, Description
There are five states in the game: Ambarino, New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth and New Austin.
For this trophy, you need to amass a $250 bounty in each of the states at the same time, and survive three days. This will need to be done during the epilogue at the earliest, as you won't have access to New Austin until then. It's best to do this after you max your Honor as this will surely lower it or simply back up your save before you do this. The simplest way to amass a bounty is by murdering civilians and law enforcement. This may take some time, and can be a tad frustrating as some locations aren't heavy on civilians. For Ambarino, your best bet is to grab a sniper, and snipe the guards in Fort Wallace from across the river. As long as you're standing in Ambarino, it will count towards that bounty. If you find yourself overwhelmed by gun fire coming your way, run. Better to regroup, than to get killed or arrested. If you prefer a non-violent approach, you can go to a town, steal a horse/wagon, outrun the law - rinse and repeat.
When you reach a high enough bounty in a state, bounty hunters will seek a big pay by trying to take you out. They'll have a red skull icon on your map. They typically try to block roads along your path, and will start to pursue and you're nearing their location. When you see them, you can fight or take a detour. Detours are your safest bet. Surviving three days while having a $250 bounty in each state is easier than it sounds as safe locations can ensure bounty hunters won't bother you. Go to your home base and keep sleeping until you've passed three days.

There are 5 states in total:
Lemoyne
New Hanover
Ambarino
West Elizabeth
New Austin
In order not to wait 3 days, you can simply set the desired price per head in all states, and then just sleep, wait 5-10 minutes in real time and sleep again until the trophy appears. Ambarino is the hardest place to get the price because... there are no cities there, so we kidnap someone and ride around until they see them in the territory of the state we need, or we kill and stand near the corpse, trying in every possible way to attract attention to ourselves. You can make a manual save before the epilogue, when all states are open, and in the last state (New Austin) the reward for the head of the story is $250, go to the rest of the states, after receiving the trophy, reload the save, and so we save honor points without losses

The reward in New Austen is not needed and does not matter what stage of the game you are at
By kedO on 17 Nov 2018 15:28
The best time to do this is in Chapter 6, when there will be a reward in 2 states for you dead or alive. It will only be necessary to fill in Strawberry, Valentine and Rhodes. You can just go to each city and start at the sheriff's station.

I received the achievement without ever having been to the New Austin state. It's enough to get $250 in the other four states.
