Once you’ve narrowed down the area of the animal that you want to hunt and kill you’re going to need to do a little exploring.  You’ll come across question mark icons on the map which will set off a legendary hunt.  Inspect the question mark and then an area when the legendary animal is will be uncovered.  Use things like your hunter’s sense to pinpoint the exact location of the animal and then go in for the kill.
