Well as I recall, you get more XP if you are in a group. So either get a pet and use the group command with it, or join a hunting group, for starters.
Now roughly, the most XP you can get from any creature is around the 5.5k - 6k mark (approx and from memory). But don;t go looking for the highest XP creatures you can. If you can kill a 2k xp creature in 1 minute and a 5k xp creature in 5 minutes, you may as well stick to 2k ones.
Most likely, you're best sticking to starter planets such as Naboo, Corellia or Tatooine.
If you have novice scout, you may like to check the trade forums for any in demand meats or hides so that you can earn good money at the same time.
If you're on Corellia, you could try getting a hunting party at Coronet (though I've never done this I believe they're popular). On Tatooine you get Squill hunting groups, and god knows what the Nabooian equivalent is.
If you are neutral, you can look for groups of NPCs in the wilderness. I remember seeing a character training in the wilds once, and they had started killing creatures close by a party of NPC stormtroopers, who were helping her with killing everything, and she was literally leading them about by attacking close by mobs. Was a very sweet idea.
When I was training, I stayed on Corellia with Rogue Bagereset missions till I was x1xx rifleman and then headed to Dathomir and ended up finally levlling up on Rancor Youths (though with conceal shot and Ranger maskscent it really helped).
Good luck on your training buddy.

see im still newto the game and i dont know exactly how the spawning system works...do certain creatures have certain spawn areas because i got all buffed to go fight War Grondas near Coronet and i failed to find any. Do they spawn in specific areas or do i have to search all of Corellia to find a heard...and i also want to find Sand Panthers. if anyone knows where you can find them alot please tell me.

You might have to use the mission terminals to get specific missions for grondas. If you find your not strong enough to get the missions just find another player to group with you so your group is stronger andyou can get them. No idea on the panthers really but when I was a creature handler looking forsludge panthers I always found them along the river banks so a little white water rafting is in order. Good luck

Where do you usually hunt and what is your target(s)? This is when hunting for your own pleasure, rather than running missions.
I generally hunt on Dantooine for pickets.

Endor. 'Cos I just love the place Or Dathomir (even though I hate it) to make the trips back and forth to the village more fun.

Endor, because no one hunts there but me. Gleaming Lantern Birds are my current target. 2 missions is 20k and at least 1k of meat.
Talus, because no one is there but me. Torturs, hide or meat, in good quantity. Plus I live there.
Oh, I can do both unbuffed and unarmored. Maybe a droid for the added group bonus to XP.
Lok is not bad, but we just had a run on really good meat and it got too crowded.

Actually i was writing a guide to fighting unbuffed but I didnt want to post it until it was finished. I'll go throw the first part up now.
Oh and Yavin is my drug of choice. Agro's everywhere and no one goes there that isnt heading for the Geo Lab. Im going to camp on it for 7 days straight and see if I can learn it all.
