- "Also known as the European wood bison. Native to the European mainland, the bison was nearly hunted to extinction in the early 20th century. It was preserved by conservation efforts and reintroduced to their natural habitat. They are now once again a viable part of the central European fauna. Being one of the heaviest terrestrial animals in Europe, these beasts may weigh in as high as 1,000.00 kg or more. They require utmost care when approached by hunters, as a bison will defend itself fiercely if provoked. Shot placement is key when hunting bison, as they rival the moose in pure toughness. Bison are herbivores that live inside deciduous and coniferous forests, and have no natural predators apart from humans."

Tips[]
Bison are notoriously slow in game and therefore are relatively easy to hunt. If you have the resources, unlock the Endurance skill, and then chase herds of Bison until you have a clear shot, picking them off one by one. Chasing them has an added benefit of preventing hunting pressure, since the Bison will run away from the last place you shot.
