OUTSTANDING!

I love a good success story.  I wish you would have taken a screenshot of your moose carcass near your campfire.  It sure made quartering him easier I bet.  

Here's a prize for the newest moose hunter on GBI

 Oh NO I TOTALLY FORGOT THE SCREEN CAPTURE 😭 I was so full of adrenaline and hands were shaking as i quartered the moose and transported the meat that i forgot to take pics... 😂😂 thank you for the prize haha so sweet! 

Hi all again,

thank you. I crafted few more arrows and when i had total of 10 arrows i went to caves to get some coal. Later on i built a fire nearby the pond that lasted about 10h. I stalked the moose and got 2 hits to its neck. He chased me down to the campfire and just as he stopped and turned i shot him right to the eye. The third arrow dropped him nright around the campfire. 
 

Now i have some good meat for the future hahaha 😂 once again, thank you all!

Hello again, 

Thank you, everyone of you. It has been a pleasure to read about your stories and tips <3.

I'm on pilgrim but I make it my mission to kill as many moose as possible! The PV moose is actually very convenient because of the fishing hut! I use it as a kind of hide ,standing just at the open door and waiting for just the right time! And of course if you miss just duck inside and close the door!

I'm not sure that it has a particular kill spot but I either aim for head or chest area! Hope that helps!

Alright I need to consider the hut strategy. Maybe  I can lure him closer to hut somehow.

In such a situation I would not attempt to kill the moose.  Many times I have used more than 5 arrows on a moose.  You could lose all of your arrows and still not kill the beast.

I understand and that is very wise advise. I have a trapping trail that i check every morning and also couple of kilos deer meat in storage so killing a moose is not on the *must do* list haha. Although it would surely be high reward but high risk.

If you can, try to get to a point where the moose cannot get to your (or that you could do something like go down a bit of a slope that it cannot negotiate) location.  This has its own risks, i.e. sprains, but you're hunting something that if it gets its hooves on you will take you about a week (was it 120 hours?) to recover and requires bandages and pain killers to effectuate the heal- the broken ribs will limit what you can do or the extent you can do them - it would be an idea to take that into account. 

You would want to try and hit the moose's head.  Neck would be second best and the chest area third.  The head has the best chance for a critical hit which would drop it on the spot.  It does not bleed out like every other animal so you actually have to shoot it.   If it does not drop and then runs away, rather than stomp you into mush, listen carefully.  Listen anyway.  If it is making sounds (the moose previously would routinely be silent unless provoked) that indicates that you scored a shall we say "serious" hit and another arrow that hits it - the head would be preferable or the neck or chest at least - has a good chance of taking it down on the spot *. 

* I play Pilgrim so routinely don't have to worry too much about being stomped but I did notice that a "wounded" moose seemed to make sounds and a second well-placed shot tended to be reliably successful in taking it down. 

YMMV. Good luck. 

Thank you, yeah the injure requires a lot of effort to be fixed. Thanks for explaining the target area. I try to practise aiming a bit and then go for neck/head area. I never knew about those sounds though... very interesting need to focus on that too.

I'm gonna assume you mean Pensive Pond that has the little fishing shack with the door on it.   right?  
I 've had a few moose battles there, some successful and others not.  You've been given some good advice from some veteran players, so ultimately what you do is up to your.  That being said, first question I have is do you have a flare gun? and if so have you ever used it to hunt with?  The reason I ask, is that actually hitting the animal with the flare gun can be pretty tricky in itself but in a pinch comes in really handy if you happen to be out of arrows and those that aren't broken in your backpack are sticking outta the moose's backside and your gonna want to get those back.  

At any rate a sound strategy that I've used is to crouch and climb up on the mound of snow covered boulders to the right of the dock.  There you can often sneak up on the beast as he is close to the tree rub and you can get a relatively good shot off from there without fear of being trampled.  What I do is to first collect enough firewood nearby to stock up the fishing shack and I start up a 12 hour fire.  It gets pretty cold out there as your stalking the moose so every once in a while you can retreat to the shack to warm up and rest.  Also helps to keep you going in case things go awry and you get stomped.  your gonna need a place to retreat to in order to tend to your wounds in that case.

I've found that a well placed head shot either into the eye or skull or snout may sometimes drop the moose with one shot.  Hit those antlers though and you'll draw his anger and probably break your arrow as well.  If your luck holds out and your aim is true, hopefully you'll drop him before you either loose or break all your arrows.  I've taken him on with 5 arrows only to realize that I have to finish him off with the flare gun.  Last time I tried that I shot 7 flares before finally bringing him down.  Out of the 7 flares fired, only three hit him.  That encounter took 4 arrow strikes and 3 flares to finally bring him down.  I was only able to recover 2 arrows in the aftermath, so that was a net loss of 2 arrowheads but the harvest yielded approx 45 kilos of meat.  Came in handy to be able to quickly quarter him and retreat to warmth of the fire and immediately starting grilling some moose steaks!

Good Luck in your endeavor and please let us know how you fared!

Yes that is correct location. No i have not found flare gun in interloper. Neither have i used it in hunting ever :D. I did not know you could actually hunt with it hahaha. Alright I will do a little hike and see if there is a good place to climb up.  

Once again, thank you all! I will play The Long Dark later on today and try your tips! I will reply this post and tell you how it ended up hahaha. Have a nice day! 

Hey guys,

I have been playing interloper for the first time. I have a little hunting camp set up in Pleasant valley. Early today i spotted a moose nearby the lake and would like to hunt it down. I have currently 5 arrows plus bow. Can you give me any tips how should i approach this giant and where to aim at? I have never tried to down a moose or bear with bow. 

Hi,

When i think of hunting, i would like to see new animals in the game. For example small game such as birds and beavers maybe? In addition with those a new gun, shotgun and maybe small caliber rifle would be great too! 

In summary: more wildlife to hunt and maybe new guns with them. 

Jep täällä suomalainen. Tilillä 110 tuntia, kun keväällä ostin tän pelin. Ehdottomasti haastavin ja parhain selviytymispeli, jota oon pelannut. Vastikään alotin stalkerin ja nyt menossa 40. Päivä. 

Oh, i get your point. Silly me i was not thinking it through. 

Thank you all for your answers. I will check out the beachcombing. 

Hi,

this might sound crazy but i would love to see old whiskey in the game  i mean Jack Daniels or something like that. I also would like to see an option to make moonshine lol  And why? Well, i think a player could consume the for getting warm or use them for making a fire etc. 

Hi all, 

just wondering, are there any resources in the nature that will renew during time? i mean for example maple saplings, will they respawn? I know it does not make sense because the whole theme is about freezing winter but cant be sure about videogame logic too lol  Anyways i love the game. Has to be the most challenging survival game there is.
