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, head north of the pond and enter the forest. Navigate through the tall shrubs until you stumble upon a camp where the first poacher is hiding. Remember, while you can choose to kill these poachers, doing so will impact your reputation. Opting for a peaceful resolution is advisable, as this poacher is easily intimidated and can be persuaded to surrender. You may either release him or turn him over to the bailiff. If you decide to spare him, make sure to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Tracking down the second poacher can prove to be the most challenging part of the Bird of Prey quest. Engaging with quest-marked NPCs can help narrow your search area, but you can also head directly to the specified location. This poacher is more defiant and may require high persuasion skills to handle without violence. In my case, I had to resort to killing him and collecting his equipment as proof.
Poacher #3

The third poacher is found in Slatego Forest. For additional clues, speak with Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia before setting out. Be prepared for a fight against wolves in this area. You will need to visit two spots: the first, an abandoned camp where the poacher once hid, and the second, a location to the west where wolves are feasting on a corpse. After dealing with the wolves, you'll find that this was the missing poacher. Don't forget to take a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Locating the fourth poacher requires venturing deep into the woods, where you'll encounter a group of three. It's not necessary to engage them in combat. Your objective is to gather proof by examining three items:
- Deer’s corpse
- Deer’s skin
- Hanging deer’s carcass
After inspecting these items, report back to the gamekeeper, who will handle the apprehension of these criminals.
Poacher #5

The final poacher to track down is Hans, and finding him can be tricky due to the extensive search area. He can be found near the rocks on the western side of the designated area. Since Henry won't be able to arrest his old friend, you'll need to collect Hans's poaching kit as evidence.
That covers everything you need to know to locate all the poachers and successfully complete the Bird of Prey quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Remember, it's best to avoid killing the poachers to preserve your reputation.
