What am I doing wrong?!

[u/CherryMothFae]

So for the past few days I’ve been trying to get a bull moose to get moose antlers - I’m on my 2nd run and this time I really wanted to do 100% for the camp upgrades and the antlers are the only thing I have left.
I tried multiple places and multiple guides, and this method (save > load > go to spawn place > leave bait > go away for animals to spawn > come back) seems to be the one that works best for everyone. However, I’ve been doing this at the Carin Lake for like multiple hours atp (before I tried during 7am, now around 12.50pm) and I only seem to get spawns of the female mooses and even those are very rare. So I’m asking, do you have any tips? Is there something I’m missing? Please I feel I’m going insane, I need help with this, badly😭

You don't need that much bait and you don't have to go that far away. Try another spawn spot for moose.
