"Moose are the largest species in the deer family and are easily distinguished by their long legs, head, and snout, as well as their large shovel-like (palmated) antlers. Males feature a dewlap, which is a fatty piece of skin under the chin. Moose are commonly found in most of the Northern Hemisphere, and thrive in temperate and subarctic climates. They often reach a height of 2.00 m and weigh between 200.00 kg to 500.00 kg. Moose are herbivores and solitary animals that are rarely found in groups or herds. Although they are often slow-moving and calm animals, they can easily become aggressive if startled or threatened. When hunting moose, shot placement is essential as they are very tough and surprisingly nimble."
― In-Game Description

The Moose is the largest species of deer in game (class 8). It can be hunted on Layton Lake District, Medved Taiga National Park, Yukon Valley, Revontuli Coast and New England Mountains.

Te Awaroa Moose[]

On Te Awaroa, a thought-extinct single moose can be hunted and photographed on the second to last story mission Last of Its Kind. This moose is considered to be bugged, or at least has strange game behavior. He leaves no footprints, makes screams very often and is extremely tenacious. It is highly recommended to lure him out with a caller.

    Trivia[]

    • Part of the original cast of animals huntable at launch
    • The word 'Moose' comes from the Algonquin word Moosh meaning "Eater of Bark".[1]
    • It is the State Animal of both Alaska and Maine.
    • Despite having a long history with the people and landscape of North America, the Moose actually evolved in Eurasia and migrated over during the ice age. The only "Native" North American Moose species is the now extinct Elk-Moose (Cervalces scotti)[2]
    • In Europe they are know as Eurasian Elk.
    • Including the mission: Last of Its Kind, the Moose is currently on 6 maps, the most among all huntable animal species.
    • The scientific name of the Moose, (Acles acles), is together with the name of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus), Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), American Buffalo (Bison bison bison), Axis Deer (Axis axis), Fallow Deer (Dama dama), Greylag Goose (Anser anser), Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) and the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) a tautonym, that means a scientific name in which both parts of the name have the same spelling.
    • In the patch released on 27.09.2022, a new model with improved fur and textures was released, making the moose look more realistic.
