The first poacher is relatively easy to locate. After initiating the "Bird of Prey" quest by speaking with the gamekeeper, head to the north side of the pond. Venture into the forest and navigate through the tall shrubs until you stumble upon a camp where the first poacher is hiding.
Be aware that eliminating the poachers can impact your reputation negatively. It's advisable to resolve these encounters peacefully. The first poacher is timid and can be convinced to surrender easily. You can choose to let him go or send him to the bailiff. If you opt for mercy, make sure to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

Finding the second poacher can be particularly challenging. You might want to engage with various NPCs marked by the quest to refine your search area. Alternatively, you can head straight to the designated location to encounter this bold criminal. This poacher is less likely to comply without high persuasion skills. In my experience, I had to resort to killing him and collecting his equipment as proof.

The third poacher can be found in Slatego Forest. For more leads, you can speak with Gravedigger Ignatius near Apollonia. Prepare for potential wolf encounters before heading out. You'll need to visit two locations: the first is an abandoned camp where the poacher once hid, though it's now empty. Search the camp for any useful items. Then, proceed west to the second site where you'll find wolves feasting on a corpse. After dealing with the wolves, you'll discover the poacher's remains. Don't forget to collect a piece of poacher equipment as evidence.

This encounter is particularly hazardous as you'll need to delve deep into the woods to confront three poachers. It's not necessary to engage them directly in combat. Your objective is to gather evidence by examining three items:
After inspecting these items, return to the gamekeeper to report your findings. He will then task officials with apprehending the criminals.

The final poacher you need to locate is Hans. Finding him can be difficult due to the expansive search area. Look for him near the rocks on the western edge of the designated zone. As Henry cannot arrest his old friend, you'll need to take Hans' poaching kit as evidence.
That concludes everything you need to know to find all the poachers and complete the "Bird of Prey" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Remember, it's best to avoid killing the poachers to maintain a good reputation.
