In the *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* quest known as Bird of Prey, you're tasked with tracking down five groups of poachers scattered across the wilderness. This challenge isn't straightforward, as the game doesn't pinpoint their exact locations. However, with the right guidance, you can successfully complete this quest without tarnishing your reputation.
Where to Find Poachers in Bird of Prey in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Poacher #1

The first poacher is relatively easy to locate. After initiating the Bird of Prey quest by speaking with the gamekeeper, make your way to the north side of the pond. From there, venture into the forest and navigate through the tall shrubs. You'll eventually stumble upon a camp where the first poacher is hiding.
Remember, while you have the option to eliminate these poachers, doing so can harm your reputation. It's advisable to handle the situation peacefully. The first poacher is a coward, making it easy to persuade him to surrender. You can either release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you choose to let him go, make sure to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Locating the second poacher is arguably the most challenging part of the Bird of Prey quest. You can gather more precise information by speaking with people marked by the quest, which can help narrow down the search area. Alternatively, you can head directly to the designated location. This poacher is more audacious and less likely to respond to persuasion unless your skills are high. I found myself forced to kill him, necessitating the collection of his equipment as proof.
Poacher #3

The third poacher can be found in Slatego Forest. For additional information, talk to Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia. Before venturing into this area, prepare for encounters with wolves.
You'll need to visit two locations. The first is an abandoned camp where the criminal once hid. Although empty, you can scavenge for useful items. Then, travel west to the second spot, where you'll encounter wolves feasting on a corpse. After dealing with the predators, you'll realize this was the poacher you were seeking. Don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as proof.

This poacher group is particularly dangerous. You'll need to venture deep into the woods, where you'll face three poachers. Instead of engaging in combat, your objective is to gather evidence by examining three specific items:
- Deer's corpse
- Deer's skin
- Hanging deer's carcass
Once you've inspected these items, return to the gamekeeper to report your findings. He will then delegate the task of apprehending the poachers to the officials.

The final poacher you need to track down is surprisingly Hans. Finding him is challenging due to the vast search area. He can be found near the rocks on the western side of the marked region. Since Henry cannot arrest his old friend, your task is to collect Hans' poaching kit as evidence.
That's all you need to know to find all the poachers and successfully complete the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Remember to avoid killing unless you're willing to risk damaging your reputation.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
