stirfoo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Apparently, you can whack a moose with one shot. Didn't think that was possible. Day 65 on interloper with level 4 archery. I would say it's due to my archery skill, but my first shot missed completely! The first shot was from just outside the aggro radius, the second was just inside, so they were both distance shots. I've find it very strange that I have much greater success hitting the target if they are facing me. I don't mean a kill, I mean just hitting the critter. That was the case here. The first missed shot was broadside. The second, head on. Both were only a step or two difference in distance. The moose wasn't moving in either shot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffTastic Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Nice shot! I rifle one hit killed a moose on TWM, hit it in the neck from distance, and it just fell over. Kinda took me a second to mentally process it, then I was like “woohoo! Mooseburgers right now!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleWolf13 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I once killed a Moose with a Rifle in Coastal Highway one shot, but sadly died soon after due to a glitch where the game thought I still had Hypothermia when I had got the message that it had passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that really just happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle777 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Targets facing you greatly increases your chances of a kill shot, because you have a good chance of hitting their head. You will very rarely get a single kill shot from behind (never seen it myself). -t 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it happen about 6-8 times. Yes, I get bear mauled a lot. I hate them, and they consider me a chew toy. Like Kong for dogs, bears have Tiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb1978 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I can count on one hand the number of times I've done this. Nice shot! (And great luck too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sooner do I transition from MT to ML via the cave but soon as I do, who do I come across that very same afternoon? Taking into consideration I'm almost spent from two rope climbs, I figure I can't let this opportunity pass me by. I slurp down my last cup of coffee and prepare to do battle with Bullwinkle... As he shakes his mighty head angrily I stand up and let loose and watch in amazement as he slumps into a heap. Not as good of placement as your shot, but I'll take it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
