I have done some hunting, but I have a quest to procure three rabbit pelts.
I am struggling to achieve this because I find hitting rabbits with the bow so hard, and the animals run away too quickly and from a large distance away.
What techniques can I use to make hunting smaller animals, like rabbits, foxes, chickens and squirrels, easier?
I encountered this as well. Not sure of the cause. I tried giving it time, setting up camp and sleeping overnight... but what ended up working for me was to save the game and reload. When I reloaded, it put me just outside of the legendary animal area. As I approached the legendary animal area, it alerted me that I should look for clues, etc.
Good luck!

If you have the default aim helper enabled, it's pretty easy to target the small animals, though the really tiny ones can be tricky.
For rabbits, just shoot them with a varmint Rifle. It only takes one shot and doesn't harm the quality. I simply shot at every rabbit I saw from my horse to fulfill the Horseman and the Master Hunter challenges about rabbits. If you have the Horseman challenge about killing 5 rabbits from your horse already, you can check the quality before shooting, simply targeting the rabbit with your Varmint Rifle will show if it's a three star or lower pelt.
I had issues with squirrels, the Varmint rifle seems to degrade pelt quality. Using small game arrows works, I'm not entirely sure if you have to hit them in the head or not.
I haven't used it myself for this purpose, but you can of course also use Dead Eye to help with killing animals.
