- In the shallows in Grassrivers.

Confirmed
Can you hunt them?
Rockstar's description of Mount Kalaga lists hunting among the things people go there to do. Confirmed What it has not shown is a rifle raised at a deer, a carcass, or a pelt being sold. Game Informer reports a new fur system and animals in ordinary, rare, discoverable and legendary tiers. Reported How those fit together is on Hunting and fishing.
Our reading
In the watering-hole shot the deer do not run from the cat. Whether deer flee from the player, as they did in Red Dead Redemption 2, will say a lot about how deep the system goes. Speculation
