Red Dead Redemption 2 has 6 Bounty Locations, found in Sheriff Offices of the major towns in the game. They are on posters inside the Sheriff’s office. You must complete 5 Bounties for 100% Completion.
The bounties are found in these towns: Valentine, Rhodes, Saint Denis, Strawberry, Blackwater, Tumbleweed.
They get marked on the map automatically when you enter the towns (after making some story progress). In the Sheriff’s Office you must interact with the posters on the wall. After getting the poster, the bounty quest will start. It gives you a white search area on the map for where the criminal is hiding. You should catch them with the Lasso, hogtie them, put them over your horse, and ride back to the Sheriff’s Office. You get monetary rewards for doing this. Remember, you can use your horse’s automatic travel (autopilot) to ride to the criminal’s hideout and back to the sheriff, thus you don’t have to use any button input to get there.

And that’s all the RDR2 sheriff offices with wanted posters in them, enjoy the hunt! For more guides check out our full Red Dead Redemption 2 Wiki & Strategy Guide.

I did the Ellie Anne Swan bounty but still at the bottom in my Log when i press left button (ps4) .
Is a glitch or i need to do something more after turn her to the sheriff?
PAronis says
i got a poster for a bounty in strawberry but the bounty stopped appearing on the mini map also i cant get any other posters to show up on the map in the different cities so im stuck with 2/5 bonties and idk what to do
PowerPyx says
How far into the game are you? You may have to progress a bit further to unlock the bounties again. Or try paying off the bounty that’s on your head (post office).
Jordy Verlé says
I have the same issue, picked up the wanted poster in Strawberry and did some story. Currently at the start of chapter 6 but no more wanted posters seem to appear
Adrian says
I have the same issue. I didn’t finish the Strawberry bounty and it disappeared. Is the trophy Best in the West missable due to this?
Vicky says
I got a question regarding the Ellie Anne Swan bounty:
I didn’t take her wanted poster before that mission in chapter 2 towards the end where there’s a shootout in Valentine and afterwards (I just got to the new camp in chapter 3 ) the map doesn’t show the bounty (skull) icon anymore. My own bounty in Valentine from after that mission is already paid off though.
Will her wanted poster reappear or is it only possible to pick it up before that mission in chapter 2?
Vicky says
Does nobody know? 🙁
Matthew Smith says
Idk if this is late response or something but I’m pretty sure he bounty shows after the game or later
Pimack says
I didn’t do any bounty except for the very first one because I thought I could do all of them in chapter 6 for more honor, but now there’s no bounty anymore on the map. The funny thing is that I didn’t need those bounties to be honorable lvl8 and now I fear I just missed those missions for nothing.
So is it temporary or is it too late now?
PowerPyx says
I was able to do the bounties after the story. They sometimes get unavailable at certain parts of the story and will reappear later. No worries!
Pimack says
Oh, ok, that’s a relief then. I still wish I could have done most of them with Arthur, and only the New Austin ones as John.
Thanks for your answer
Pimack says
Oh, just to be sure, can John do the old bounties Arthur didn’t do or were those time-limited and John can only do the ones that appear in the epilogues? Because I have an issue in the compendium where my gang camps stat for the Lemoyne gang is stuck at 2/3 and someone told me I might fix it by doing a bounty on a Lemoyne gang member who is hiding in a camp. So I really hope I will be able to do that one, since I need the bounty and the camp to be at 100% with this gang.
PowerPyx says
I was able to accept them with John (hadn’t touched them with Arthur though).
