If you're wanting to do all of Hemet's quests, one after another, you can follow Hemet along, complete all 6, and turn them in as a complete group.

You do not need to turn one in at a time in order to get the next one he gives.

https://www.wowhead.com/npc=191205/hemet-nesingwary#comments Go read why Hemet said he's retiring. He's still hunting, not just "pick flowers and want peace and love". That's just nonsense head canon you made up yourself so you can be pissed about something.

Description

I was talking with some hunters out of Iskaara the other day, and they mentioned finding a grisly scene. Apparently, a particularly murderous rhino, Bloodhorn, has been goring the smaller bruffalon in the area. The bruffalon have enough competition in Azure Span without worrying about getting their herds thinned out by an invasive brute from out of town! Bring me his horn. I'd like to make a good impression on our Tuskarr friends!
