TL;DR

Take three animal photos, send them to the LS Tourist Board, and you’ve just made a six-figure paycheck for doing what every influencer’s dog does for free.


It’s absurd, it’s easy, and it prints money. In ten minutes you’ve gone from career felon to National Geographic freelancer with a six-figure salary.


Do it daily and you’ll make more than Maze Bank’s interns while photographing rabbits in sunglasses.



A realistic wildlife illustration depicts a forest scene in Raton Canyon, featuring a deer, a cougar, a pug, and a soaring bird under warm sunlight.


The Premise

Rockstar, in their infinite wisdom, decided Los Santos needs a wildlife influencer economy. Every in-game day, the LS Tourist Board emails you three random creatures—anything from a majestic deer to a pug that looks like it’s been left in the microwave too long. Snap them, send them, cash in.


You earn:

  • $20 000 + 500 RP per animal

  • $40 000 bonus for the set👉 $100 000 + 6 500 RP daily


That’s not a mission—that’s daylight robbery with a telephoto lens.



Unlocks (Because Everyone Loves Trophies)

  • 1 photo = Declasse Park Ranger unlocked for purchase.

  • 10 photos = Trade price (-25 %).

  • 1 full set = Zoophilist outfit—basically “Ace Ventura but broke.”



How to Start Without Looking Like a Lost Tourist

  1. Open your map, hover over the LS Tourist Board blip, and hit the prompt.

  2. They email you today’s “targets.” (Yes, wildlife is now an assassination list.)

  3. Use Snapmatic, make sure the animal’s alive, centered, and not half-hidden behind a Prius.

  4. Hit Send to LS Tourist Board when the prompt appears.

  5. Three good shots = 💰 + RP + bonus + mild self-loathing.

You could literally fund a cocaine lock-up just by chasing pigeons.



Loadout for Professional Paparazzi

Vehicle: Oppressor Mk II – the hover-moped of doom. Low altitude = spawns actually load. Vision: Thermal scope or helmet – because spotting rabbits at night builds character.

Session: Invite-only – fewer explosions, fewer Karens.

Weather: Sunny – dogs disappear faster in rain than your KD in free-aim.



Spawn Hotspots (Bookmark These or Cry Later)

Animal

Reliable Zone

Time / Tips

Poodle / Pug

Rockford Hills & Del Perro sidewalks

Daytime only, no rain. Session-hop if dry spells.

Coyote

Grand Senora Desert / Vinewood trails

Thermal on; they’re allergic to attention.

Rabbit

Vinewood Hills bushes

Thermal or you’ll photograph grass for hours.

Boar / Deer / Cougar

Raton Canyon / Tataviam Hills

Stay in vehicle; they bolt faster than your ex.

Birds (Cormorant, Seagull, Crow)

Del Perro Pier / Vespucci Beach

Look up. They sit on rails like tiny drones.

Farm animals

Grapeseed farms / Great Chaparral

They don’t move. Bless them.


The 6-Minute Solo Routine

  1. Check email from the LS Tourist Board.

  2. Dog first: Rockford Hills, dry daylight, quick snap.

  3. Bird second: Del Perro Pier—shoot the feathered morons.

  4. Countryside third: Tataviam Hills—thermal the deer.

  5. Collect $40 k bonus and feel oddly powerful.

Average time: 5 – 10 minutes. Average smugness: astronomical.



Pro Tricks From the Community

  • Thermal = meta. You’re basically Predator, minus the budget.

  • If it rains, leave. Dogs don’t spawn; Rockstar logic.

  • Birds despawn? Look away, count to three, look back—they respawn like interns.

  • Nothing spawning at all? Switch session. GTA wildlife union strike.

  • Hover check: Use the Oppressor to scan before landing—saves panic and paw-prints on your corpse.



FAQ

Q: Dead animals count? A: Only if you’re applying to the FIB. They must be alive and centered.
Q: Can I spam more than three? A: No. Rockstar hates fun.
Q: Why no labradors? A: Rain. Night. The Devil. Take your pick.
Q: Do I have to visit the Tourist Board office? A: No—hover the map blip and get the email like a civilized criminal.

About Me
WhatsApp Image 2025-08-19 at 04.27.47.jpeg

I’m Niels Gys. Writer, gamer, and professional defender of fictional criminals. On screen only. Relax. I front JETBLACK SMILE, a rock ’n’ roll band from Belgium that sounds like bad decisions set to loud guitars. Turns out the mindset for writing about crime, chaos, and villain energy translates surprisingly well to music.

Here I run CRIMENET GAZETTE, a site dedicated to crime, heist, and villain-protagonist games, movies, and series. Not the wholesome kind. Not the heroic kind. The kind where you rob banks, make bad decisions, and enjoy every second of it.

CRIMENET exists because too much coverage is polite, bloodless, and terrified of having an opinion. Here, villains matter. Criminal fantasies are taken seriously. And mediocrity gets mocked without mercy.

I don’t do safe scores or corporate enthusiasm. I do sharp analysis, savage humor, and verdicts that feel like charge sheets. If something nails the fantasy of being dangerous, clever, or morally questionable, I’ll praise it. If it wastes your time, I’ll bury it.

CRIMENET isn’t neutral. It sides with chaos, competence, and fun.
Think less “trusted reviewer,” more “your inside man in the digital underworld.”

I’m not here to save the world.


I’m here to tell you which crimes are worth committing. 🤘
