Some other RDR2 non-spoilery tips I've found recently:
there's a great cabin just northwest of mount shann worth checking out
if you see any dead body x's appear on the minimap while riding around that you didn't kill, go see what happened.
just realising that to craft properly you need to be regularly making one or two items and keeping your inventory clear to gather more of the required ingredients. stuff like special ammo that requires things like moonshine/animal fat will never accumulate otherwise as you can only carry a few at a time.
if like me you've been wandering around with 20 premium cigarettes at all times and not picking up additional packs you've missed out on a shit ton of cigarette cards as you get one every time you pick up a new pack, instantly discard them all whenever you pick them up so you have space for the next pack you find.
study animals using your binoculars rather than trying to sneak up close enough to them.
there are a bunch of unique melee weapons in the game usually embedded in something around points of interest, if you see an axe or a knife stuck in something try to pick it up.
2am is a good time to revisit some creepy places
if you see a "feral man" up north east, track/chase him.
I can't say for sure but I drank some 'mysterious liquid' and now I think ravens might be stalking me.
If like me you've spent fucking hours traipsing to the trappers on the east side of the map there's one literally spitting distance from riggs station on the west-side which is up on a hillock and you'll miss if you're just riding past. (ride across the huge railway bridge coming from horseshoe overlook camp and he's up on the right on the other side)
hah yeah I saw him. pretty sure when hunting legendaries it says there's too much activity if there are active encounters in the area and he was stopping me from hunting so i went fishing instead.
