Let me simplify moose hunting for you since its definitely one of the trickier challenges youll face. Ive found that getting to higher ground is your best bet, like climbing on fallen trees or finding a good ledge where they cant reach you. The hunting rifle is honestly way better than the bow here, trust me on this one especially since you need to keep your distance from these big guys.

From my experience, going for headshots or hitting their front shoulder works really well, and youll want to take your time lining up those shots since these creatures dont bleed out like other animals. Always good to know that having an escape route nearby, like a building or some rocks you can climb, can be a real lifesaver when things go south.

Something interesting i learned the hard way is watching their behavior before taking the shot. If they start lowering their head or pawing at the ground, thats your cue to get out of there fast. Make sure you bring plenty of ammo too since it usually takes a few shots to bring one down. Ive had the best luck waiting until theyre calm and just doing their own thing before taking my shot. And if youre running low on supplies or health, no shame in backing off and trying again later - these guys will still be there, and they dont heal up once youve hit them.
