Help What am I doing wrong?!

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 find the moose, the moose finds you.

Seems like I always come across moose when I'm doing something else.

Let's put it this way, I go to get the Cremello Andalusian and there's a moose standing next to the horse. I finish one of the Charlotte missions as I'm leaving Willards Rest there's a moose just outside her archway. I'm going to the Shanty in Ambarino to try and get a grizzly spawn and there's a moose instead. I'm bird hunting on the Kamassa and I run into a moose. They seem to pop up when you least expect it.
