in the area of 46, 67. all around are a few about 4 or 5.
I had to kill about a dozen springpaws until I got my first pelt to drop. I then got 4 pelts in a row and one every other kill after that. My pelts only dropped from the Elder Springpaws although the quest suggests they will drop from any. My suggestion is to just keep the quest in your log and kill any Springpaws while your traversing to and from other quest locations. If you focus on just killing Springpaws you will get fustrated quickly. I have done this quest with several characters now and the drop rate was terrible everytime.

The springpaw that inhabit this region are known for their high quality pelts. We've even seen night elf scum travel to these lands just to poach them. Our skirmishes with the Amani have put a bit of a strain on our supply of gear and our rangers don't have much time to hunt for pelts anymore. If you'd be willing to lend a hand by collecting springpaw pelts, I'd be happy to reward you with a hand-crafted piece of armor. You'll find springpaw stalkers all around the woods north of here.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Dwarven Spy
Listen, <name>. This is a very delicate situation; even though we've identified the spy, we cannot kill him out in the open. We cannot try to capture him either as the risk of him escaping is too great. I want you to go find Prospector Anvilward at the North Sanctum and kill him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Somber Task
These are difficult times for us, <name>. It was a very hard decision to burn the woods bordering the Ghostlands to prevent the Scourge's expansion. The treants, who have been our friends for years, are now trying to foster the regrowth of the forest along the Scorched Grove.
