TheHunter: Call of the Wild Wiki

"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), and it can be hunted on Layton Lake District, Medved-Taiga National Park, Yukon Valley, Revontuli Coast and New England Mountains. It is also one of the first 'original' animals huntable in game, as it launched with the game all the way back in 2016.

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.
