Best Loot: Loot every Enemy corpse you come across. Use Slow and Steady while looking to absorb bullets. Loot NPC saddlebags. Animal Fat for crafting Explosives can be farmed with the pigs at Flatneck Station North of Flat Iron Lake. Then travel South and check the coast for Ducks, and finally Mattock Pond North of Rhodes for more Ducks. Skin and change sessions for more Pig and Duck spawns. For more specific looting locations check out this breakdown and rdomap.com.

Best Circuit: Fill your Camp with Materials and Supplies then start Moonshine at your Shack. Run Bounty Hunter missions (not Legendary because they take you away from your Camp and Shack). Look for Collectibles and animal Samples during everything and ride around with your Metal Detector. Looting bodies will give Collectibles and normal items.

Hunting Whitetail for your Trader business is best done in the Heartlands or Scarlette Meadows. Fill your Wagon and Horse with 3-Star Whitetail Deer or 2 or 3-Star Whitetail Buck. 3-Star Rabbits for your horse's side cargo. Keep a lookout for Legendary Animals to kill and donate to Cripps.
I have found 6 Bucks in this marsh area back-to-back and always in pairs
You can fill your wagon and Fast Travel to Camp with the Wilderness Camp if you achieved Outlaw Pass 4 Rank 97.

The small islands south of Caliga Hall is another great Alligator and Baby Alligator location.
If you aim at a wagon's trunk and your reticle turns red, shoot the trunk and take the loot.
Letting a Bounty Target temporarily escape will spawn more enemies to loot.
Ignoring an NPC in need then returning will switch their motive. Escorts become Ambushes and vice-versa. Ambushes bring more enemies for XP and loot.
Everyone can loot the same buildings if they take turns entering and looting. If other Players are nearby while you loot, the loot will be gone for them.
Looting Revenue Agents from Moonshiner missions will give you Collectibles for Moonshine recipes. There is a wagon with a lockbox that guarantees a Gold Watch, Moonshine, and ammo.
Looting Skinners from Ambarino spawns or Poachers from Naturalist missions will give you animal pelts.
NPC camps around Blackwater have Gun Oil, ammo, food, and items which Fortify your stats
