An Ear to the Ground

 is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Travel to Camp Forlorn Hope and enter the Barracks.

Speak to Private Sexton and agree to help boost the camp's morale.

Obtain Legion ears from deceased Caesar's Legion soldiers and return them to Private Sexton.

Rewards

 * NCR Fame


 * There is bonus applied to the third part of Restoring Hope. Every 10 ears turned in, it adds a morale bonus of 1 for a maximum of three.  This bonus is applied to the Nelson attacking forces.

Note

 * Due to Sexton not needing to be killed in We Are Legion, it is possible to give him ears for reputation, even if the rest of the camp is dead.
