I highly recommend listening to the Benny Hill theme while doing this quest.

I went to the Embaarri Village flight path in Shadowmoon Valley. From there I went North/East, near the pet daily above the village, to co-ords 50.30 and there are a ton of talbuks around there. They are right near the top of the roads on your map if you don't have a co-ord mod. I didn't realize when I did the quest that the talbulk runs around like a chicken with its head cut off and you have to stay with them until they are tamed, so be prepared for that. So if you aren't higher level then the mobs (level 90 range) also be prepared to run through a about 5 or so wolves and moths nearby.
