My most exciting 48 hours

[odium]

~160 days into a Voyageur run I've found myself in PV, setting up 3 bases, the community hall, the barn and the farmhouse.  I had not seen a Moose yet at all after looting DP, CH, ML and MT prior to PV.  4 bears so far this run but none in PV yet, but I knew one spawned near the barn so I went to look, and sure enough there he is.  I pick him off with the rifle and get to harvesting/cooking.  Being PV of course a storm rolls in and I must retreat.  Go back the next day to find a pack of 4 wolves surrounding my bounty.  I'm pretty stocked on hides at this point so I decide to go toe to toe with them.  I lead them close to the barn one by one and knock down all 4 with my bow, although the last arrow broke and I did get some torn clothes.  Looking for the last wolf there he is, a moose right on the edge of the birch trees.  I put two rifle rounds into him and he goes down!  I burn two fires all night and harvest/cook all the meat.  Took me the entire next day to haul it all back but definitely the most eventful couple days I have ever had!  I also saw a 5 pack of deer too that I had to resist taking a few from!! (the bear carcass is missing from the pictures but you can see the aftermath!)

Yeah, the moose is defiantly finicky on spawn points and actually being there when you are there...seems to be a weather relevant animal. Good conditions always seem to improve the spawn RNG of the moose.

ya it sure does seem that way, i checked the trappers spawn, quonset, the northern road in MT and the top hills of CH religiously trying to find one!  i made one trip to HRV looking for the satchel but got the wrong spawn and had to leave after a wolf attack.  cant wait for this hide to cure!
