The Gnolls are in a camp at the previous listed coordinates and to get there, follow the path to 68.1/53.7 where the path leads to the camp. Some of other types of Woodpaw Gnolls are around the base of the path but easy to get around or kill them. This is with a level 42 Tauren Druid.
Found there to be the highest density of alpha´s at Woodpaw Den at 67,52

Description
Gnolls are unfortunately as resilient as they are brutish and stupid. I have driven back the gnolls time after time from our camp, and it is only our chieftain's mercy that prevents them from being wiped out entirely. Over the years, it has fallen into a dance of strength and dominance. When their numbers surge and they threaten the camp, the alphas, the strongest gnolls, must be slain. This will drive them back into the forest, and leave us is peace until they forget their lessons.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- War on the Woodpaw
The gnolls... they are more than a nuisance. They are a constant threat to the existence of this very camp! It is irrelevant whether they are indigenous to Feralas or not; if we do not strengthen our resolve against them, we will find ourselves driven out of the entire region.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Woodpaw Investigation
Gnolls aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but they will no doubt have some sort of documented strategy on their recent activity. If we were to find those plans, then we'd have a clearer idea of what is making them so worked up.
