i tried hunting the mongooses and aardvarks in iria and found a few in a hour span or more. Also tried going to the lions and no luck and i did all this after researching wiki/youtube. So where do you hunt or when you did hunt them, where'd you go to find the most of them?

The nature reserve and hillwen mines have a ton of monsters; several of which are ancient.
If you have around 400~500 magic attack and a high powered ice spear w/range reforges you can one shot every enemy in the ecology roughly twice and hit the bot limit in around ten attacks. This allows you to clear all of the ancients from the ecology on each channel and leave some room for hillwen or solea. You can optionally hunt for ancients on the scathach beach as nobody frequents that region due to the risk involved.

Problem is that answering this question would render the answer to no longer be the 'best' given more people will know/hunt there.
But then again not like many ancient hunt. I think.

You can also run around in Karu Forest since no one seems to go there anyway.

The best channel is any channel that's not heavily populated. But hunting ancients has more to do with time of day rather than channel. You want to do it when the majority of the playerbase is sleeping or otherwise too preoccupied to play.

I just love it when I'm actually training there (godly exp with -CP gear using that exact method you described) and there's channel hoppers who come in and pretend you're not there.
Isn't even any ancients since I killed them all and am actively destroying anything once the spawns grow large enough.

When I go ancient hunting, I run around Physis. It's generally very sparsely populated (only the Hillwen entrance and Silva Forest see activity) and there's lots of wild mobs around the whole map, you can circle around it, then CC and circle around it again.
