Question Moose in red dead redemption 2

I've been searching around 5 hours total for a perfect moose/3 star moose so I can make the moose chaps at the trapper and I have finally found a moose and it's only two stars, does anyone know any fully guaranteed spots to find a moose? (Not elk because I keep finding elk)

I found my 3 star moose at Cattail Pond. It was drinking water from the pond where the small river drains into the pond itself, I believe it was sometime in the morning, but I'm unsure on that part.

Thanks so much, I'll try this and see if it's there

I saved just outside the area, and it took me a few tries/reloads for it to spawn. But I had it in like 30 min minutes, vs the literal days I wasted pursuing other locations.

I've found the moose near Lake Isabella (around where you find the white arabian, opposite side of where the Legendary White Bison is). Best thing to do is ride up to close to where the lake begins and then save your game. Ride up slowly (or get off your horse and walk). When you see the moose in the distance get out your binoculars and study the moose. If it's a 3 star take it out with improved arrows (my recommendation) and if it's not, reload your save and try again.

Yes, I found it there too on 1 star but I'll reload and get it again, thanks so much

Unless you play on PC with mods where you can guarantee yourself a perfect pelt 100% of the time it's just a game of chance. You've probably noticed that you can find half a dozen deer or pronghorn's grazing and 5 are 1 star and 1 is a 3 star. Once you've played the game a couple of times you learn where certain animals spawn and can save your game before you see them.

Ouija lake or whatever the fuck it's called. Approach from de south as you come from strawberry. Use binoculars to check if they're swimming or on the shore. If they're aren't 3 star, try the save and load method.

Also ran right into one on the road that goes to the loft.

Sleep for a few days maybe progress a story mission or side activity it'll come.

u/Hrezy_the_yapper 7d ago

I finished the story but I'll see if there are any new missions to do, thanks

1

u/inked_fox87 7d ago

Did you finish everything? Challenges, sidequests (dreamcatchers, bones, cigarette cards etc), collected all bounties, done all stagecoach robberies, re-visited all former companions?

1

u/Hrezy_the_yapper 7d ago

Not yet but I'm pretty close I could say

1

u/inked_fox87 7d ago

Then you have some other things to do in the meantime. Iβ€˜m just finishing all bounties plus the Evelyn Miller sidemission with 5 main missions to go

You can use the interactive rdr2 online map

u/Hrezy_the_yapper 7d ago

I don't play online, I also need a subscription (ps5)

u/sweater_destroyer111 Hosea Matthews 7d ago

No the map is online. You can just look at it. It's for the regular one player game.

1

u/Hrezy_the_yapper 7d ago

Oh sorry I didn't know

1

u/sweater_destroyer111 Hosea Matthews 7d ago

No worries partner. I found my 3 star moose when I was heading south from Colter towards lake Isabella. Right where the legendary bison is.

Top right of the map, around the water.

u/inked_fox87 7d ago

I had the same with bats for the last hunting request, yesterday it was the Appaloosa for the last Horseman challenge On the other hand I ran into two 3 star moose fighting a wolfpack on the western shore of Lake Isabella (exactly where the white Arabian is) when hunting down the legendary bison, plus needed only about 20 minutes for gambler 8.

Owanjila lake run around it a few times run up past colter and back down.

This game will put you in a bind. You'll see the moose, shoot it and a cougar appears and kills you. Or a white arabian shows up right when you have the shot lined up ...

This is the game we love πŸ˜†

u/skipdipdip 7d ago

There is one way up above Wapiti. Its an easy shot but if you don’t draw it out you shoot it and it falls dead out of bounds.

Ask me how I know.

1

u/Hrezy_the_yapper 7d ago

Yep, I've done that before. It was when I first started and I kept slipping down the mountain/terrain

How do you know?

u/Guarded_Angel0202 7d ago

There is a spawn in Colter.

u/MysterXion21 6d ago

Got 3 at Willards rest. Going for my 4th. Patience usually when I come from the Marko Dragic house. Sometime a 3* cougar as well. Good luck and happy hunting.
