how do i take bounty proof?
Search the bounty's body and you should get the proof. You get more money for bringing them back alive, obviously, but that's harder and you can't do it until you get the lasso. A word of warning, though. If you're ever going after a bounty and you have a random stranger run up and ask you to help them, be careful. I had that happen and the stranger's mission spawned in the same spot as the bounty, and even though the bounty icon was on the map I couldn't get proof. Then the game refused to spawn bounty posters and locked up every time I tried to fast travel.
Fun things to do...
Drag people behind your horse with the lasso
Tie someone up with the lasso and drop them on the train tracks
Knife fight a cougar or a bear
Get drunk and start a bar brawl
