Well I spent my entire first week in-game looking for the best Male Snablesnot Young spawn site because I heard they were the most eco hunt mobs at level zero (besides maybe Puny near Sweat Lodge). Aio is correct, the entire blue area East of HI is filled with nothing but Snable. The males are 99% young, some oddball Mature and Old here and there. I've been working thru my initial 20$ depo for the last 2 weeks at this spot, grind out the Opalo skills from zero to 5'ish.
The spawn area is huge, the entire blue area between the river and HI. There are hundreds of them there, non-stop killing. You wont go more than a few seconds without getting your next few targets up. I ignore the females for now, wanted to get an idea of returns on eco before I move up. For me the returns are the typical 80-90%.
I usually buy 50ped ammo and use the 2500 shots to bag about 600 MSY give or take a hundred. Takes a few hours, non-stop grinding if you run and gun them. I drop them in 4 shots give or take unamp'ed Opalo, 3 shots with overkill amped with the a101. Been experimenting with 2 shots amped -> a few pistol shots for the kill. Unfortunately the returns seem the same. Armor and weapons drop, ammo and natural resources, low level stuff you'd expect.
The only suck part is teleporting into HI and running to the site. Gotta go North over the unclimbable mountain range there, swamp around the TP is full of those super annoying flies with big aggro radius. Usually gotta pull at least a few to the guns to punch a hole, fortunately the flies dont spawn very far out from the TP, once I get thru the few loitering there its smooth sailing, up the road N then back down and into the lowlands. Some Plumertagus bird things inbetween, super small aggro radius and easy to avoid. Be careful not to fall damage to your death or you'll have to start the run over. Of course if you got a vehicle your set.
Have fun
