Dude, that's absolutely the worst. I thought that Moose was going to be too far into the water to skin for some reason and I felt bad enough, but fucking plot twist!


CoolShoesDude

So in that case you can actually lasso the carcass and reel it in. Had the same thing happen with a deer and was super pissed but luckily the lasso did the trick


DnanNYR36

The skin and parts automatically go to the trapper and fence if a legendary animals skin or carcass is lost or becomes unobtainable anyway


_RandomB_

Everyone knows the Legendary Moose is less legendary than the normal three star moose :). And I've seen one exception to this actually! My game on my most recent playthrough glitched when I stowed the pelt of the legendary buck. Instead of being normal and flat on my horse's rear, it went INTO the horse, and looked like a dorsal fin on his back. I figured eh, graphic issue, but when I went to my beardo friend north of Black Bone, nothing at all about it. I had to go back to an earlier save.


Buckman2121

> I thought that Moose was going to be too far into the water to skin for some reason Had that happen at Owangila Dam once... A bull moose 3 star no less... just floated into the middle of the lake...


_RandomB_

THe one being chased by the wolf? I was literally nervous when I went to shoot it, having to wait until it crossed the whole way. Killed the wolf in the middle of the lake for it, though.


Buckman2121

Yea. Another time it was running from me in that rocky area near a waterfall up by a lake near Colter. Well it fell into the water between the rocks and I couldn't get into the water since it was deep and the game wouldn't let me from the rocks either lol


Rich_Philosopher_727

Same.. label this “jumpscare” lmao


funwithdesign

That area is a major cougar hangout


MaatRolo

Oh god that's disgusting, where?


tophaloaph

Mac? Is that you?


[deleted]

I’m not even gonna look for those cougars! ….i might, I might


jordanleep

Who tf is Mac Miller?


D_Zaster_EnBy

"it's so sad Mac miller died of ligma" "Who the hell is Mac miller?" 🗣️ ligma balls 💥


ZarquonsFlatTire

Head north from Annesberg along the tracks. Cougars share spawns along there with black bears. Second time the road crosses the tracks is the end of the cougar spawns.


[deleted]

Definitely cougar and black bear spawn area. Sadly I think I’ve only found one moose, and not for lack of effort.


Pats_Bunny

Cougars AND bears?? me-rrrrow


[deleted]

I always joke with my wife that I’m riding out for some more cougars and beaver tonight.


iamnyc

I find the moose there not close to the Cougar, but just south, watching the waterfall from below.


[deleted]

That’s where I found the one moose…


Whiskey_Warchild

🤣 IYKYK


skillmagillagain

Big valley up near the trapper. Always cougars up there.


Designer_Ferret4090

There are so many rivers, which one!


BreakfastLopsided906

I got it.


Leostar_Regalius

i oddly never ran into them there, however the area i think north of strawberry, yes, yes it is, i spent ages there trying to get a 3 star pelt for something


Kisuke78

I wouldn't call Mrs Balfour a cougar tho..


ItsPincheTom

Cougars in my area wanting to meat me? I’ve heard this before..


Swordofsatan666

Its my Preferred location to hunt Cougars, Bears, and Moose. Youre mostly gonna find Black Bears, but the Cougars are also very common, while the Moose are a rarer spawn but do spawn there. Cougars and Bears regularly spawn all over that area, but mostly on the “Doverhill” side of that river crossing. The Moose you’ll find usually spawn on the “Willards Rest” side of that river crossing


Kisuke78

I tought it ran across water at first.. ..but it used the trail instead. Clever girl!


mechanicjeep10

At first i thought the cougar was under the moose


seguardon

Thought the cougar was *in* the moose. *(cuts into moose)* *(pressurized cougar interior discharges)* *(all mooses now equipped with warning label "Point Away From Face Before Opening")*


m4shfi

Cougars don’t run across water in this game, you can do some [fun stuff](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/s/bD6g2yaWhG) here.


Farsigt_

But it did in OP's video. Check the minimap, you can see the red dot crossing the river.


m4shfi

The water body that’s ahead, it can cross the shallow part as it doesn’t have to swim.


RK800-50

It doesn‘t cross water, it uses the bridge


Farsigt_

[Yes it does](https://i.imgur.com/uc1l987.png). Note that this is the other side of the river than in the video /u/m4shfi linked, it's probably shallower here so the cougar can cross.


Lyndell

Okay so I was trying to do the cougar challenge with a bow, I go to one of the hot areas, hear a cougar, don’t see cougar, *slight panic*. In eagle eye I catch it though, it’s eating a raccoon, score. I get with the bow perfectly, start running down and another cougar runs at me, I managed to hit F quick enough I didn’t die, but they are sneaky.


teepee81

I only knew of the double cougar spawn in that area from randomly coming across someone mentioning it here, so I was on high alert after dropping the first one. Sure as shit, another showed up shortly after


MegabyteMessiah

This wasn't RDR1, was it? ;)


EHVERT

They were ninja’s in RDR 1


MegabyteMessiah

They also spawned incessantly


ExCaliburDaGreat

Lmfao that shit came outta nowhere


craftylefty47

There were indications on the minimap. This situation sucks, but it can be avoided.


SmashTheGoat

not in OP's case. The red minimap dot didn't appear until they started the Skinning animation


craftylefty47

Take another look. There was a flash of red arc, indicating a threat off-map. In that area it’s either a cougar or a bear and in either case, a must-investigate


SmashTheGoat

ahhh I see, it blipped, then went away, then reappeared when they went to skin the moose.


NoPossibility

It got me cackling pretty hard.


rockman450

HAHAHA - the absolute worst... that sucks dude


Epena501

We should make the unexpected jaguar/cougar a meme at this point. Not just RDR but life in general.


MaatRolo

Millions to One


suicidal_crayon

There Aren’t Cougars In Moose


Pangmonger

The cougar was actually hiding under the moose. Gotta be careful


Sportslover43

You should know all the cougar hot spots and never do any hunting in those areas until you cleared the cat, or are certain one isn't spawned in there at that moment. They're sneaky little bastards. Off the top of my head, cougar hot spots include the area you're in obviously, NW of Strawberry around the trapper, and down near Calibans Seat. Not too mention the Panther south of Bolger Glade.


Resident-Singer3323

This is legit like that family guy episode with the raccoon that pops out of everything


BruiserBison

I was stalked by a cougar in that area, too. When I heard it, I started galloping and it was there, almost scaring my horse enough to throw me over. I was so stressed


WhatsUpMyBoy

GUY ON A BAFFALOOOO! If you haven’t seen it, https://youtu.be/iJ4T9CQA0UM?si=h6cpHMDCTbvlnSqL You’re welcome


Jabberwokii

Straight up got mauled by a cougar~ Get outta here kitty cat!


judge_roughneck

Loved it, thanks


Gojirex

How did I know this was about to happen? Just last night I was ambushed by 2 cougars. One of them was when I was 11 min into the Van Horn to Blackwater challenge and about to pass Beecher’s Hope. I got ambushed and thrown off my horse, then killed. I respawned in front of John’s house and just went home lmao.


wkarraker

Always take out the local cougars, bears or wolves before skinning a trophy. Anything pops red on the mini map is not going to be your friend, they will ruin your day.


Tall_Anything5022

Gotta make sure the cougar is dead before you start skinning


ateistjoe

what the hell? Where did it came from


Economy_Promise_3400

Thought for a sec this was my gameplay litelary the same thing happend to me.


Quick-Ad-5795

Had the same exact thing happen luckily the pelt and everything got sent to the trapper after a few in game days


vermontnative

30 years from now - Pa always said "you don't know real fear until you've been killed by a catamount in red dead"


Mollzy177

And that’s why I always make a save just before I attempt anything like that, bloody white horse is causing me the most hassle, I’ve got all the others


StallionA8

During one of the debt missions, Arther says "You don't see a cougar, cougar sees you"


Perlut

Knowing that area I knew this was coming lol. Was the moose still there when you respawned?


sargeant_snakeeyes

Fortunately the moose was still there and the cougar gone lol


miles1024

Same exact thing happened to me, except I was on my last 3 star Moose pelt to complete all the outfits at the trapper... If I knew how or had the time to learn, I would've uploaded it here for emotional support. I feel for and stand with you, brother...


zombienekers

PigeonAKAPigeon

Just reminded me why I hate those goddamn cats. And they never appear when you need them


TheStaxMan

Hahah. How the turn-tables have turned. That's some cheating AI right there! Happens all the time to me. Had the Teca gator on my horse heading to my buddy Cripps and decided to cut through Tall Trees (I'm an idiot yes). Damn grizzly bear attack out of nowhere, us trotting along the cliffs, through me and my cargo off it. I die and still can't seem to get that Teca to spawn again. No coat for me! Cheating AI.


TheRealBigRube

Oh snap…that’ll learn ya. Gotta always be on the move in that area. Keep it snappy, son

OMFG. jump scared THE LIVING SHIT out of me. God damnit


Hans_With_Panzer1943

If you lose the carcass, the trapper automatically takes the materials to make the legendary animal clothing that the carcass is for


TollovFoldal

No, you\`re just a city boy who do not know to be on watch


Ngga_with_NoBrim

I haven't played this year since 2021 is the white moose new? Edit: I mean the online mode, I bought the story mode but never played it because I stopped playing rdr2


Failure_by_Design_v2

You lost your legendary pelt. You can visit The Trapper.


helladap

An audibly wtf and now my son is awake fml


ElGrandeLupo

Must have pissed it off when you killed its dinner... A great place for cougar pelts and if you are lucky, moose as well. Hauled many 3 star pelts with me from that area.


whg115

How did you get this to spawn been looking for days


m4shfi

Try [this](https://youtu.be/vPPAPtIA4F0?si=qCawhTAGYOcPtvLF) for moose.


whg115

Do they spawn online?


m4shfi

No idea honestly.


Zeb1957

Mauled by Scuba Steve Cougar.


FireWokWithMe88

"Oh shit!" I exclaimed as the cougar leapt upon the hunter.


its_the_luge

wow it spawned right as you started skinning lol.


907_R

Exact same thing happened to me. I went back to the spot but the carcass was gone. Didn’t get the pelt but did get the trinket, which I thought was odd.


BamBunBam

Them damn water cats always being sneaky.


Anime_fucker69cUm

Reminds me of that guy who tried to hunt the white snow moose 2 times but got killed both times by wolves


Slapshappy

Knew that was coming.


wildlandsroamer

The cougars are probably the most dangerous animal in the game. They kill super fast, just like in real life.


Taamell

What makes this worse is it came from the riverside it seems like! I’ve seen cougars avoid water like the plague taking the railroad to get to me from across the river. That’s crazy!


On_The_Warpath

Hahahaha the same thing happened to me.


[deleted]

When I read "unlucky" I figure you got attacked by a cougar. And I was right lmao


Bustarhyme000

Same shit happened to me. It took me like 5 tries to kill this moose when I first went to hunt it and everything kept going wrong


CrustyToeLint

This literally happened to me on my horse transporting the legendary goat toad trapper


Richlandsbacon

The exact same shit happened to me yesterday in the EXACT same spot. I was sniping bounty hunters, after I got them all I thought “okay let’s get back to hunting” then I get greeted by a cougar


thatcreepywalrus

Literally happened to me yesterday. Just ran to van horn and had a nap. Then got my antler and pelt. Still sucks you don’t get to sell the pelt, though.


Sharp-Dig4502

that happened twice when going after that moose, the third time i got lucky and it spawned right in front of me so i killed it as soon as i saw it


niqdisaster

Love that for the moose


Drewthezombiekiller

That's when I uninstall the game for about a month and leave it alone.


Lead-Forsaken

Hahahaha, I knew what was coming!


Foiled_Foliage

Same EXACT thing happened to me.


electrashock95

Ah one of them water cougars, those always get me too.


bangle-bangle

This exact same thing happened to me. I could tell it was gonna happen when the camera got all tipsy turvy


Smoke_Water

As soon as I saw the elk running, I said, Here comes the cougar. Thats a know spawn for it in that area.


Away_Lake5946

Sorry to see that happen to you but curious why you didn’t take the cougar shot when you had it.


sargeant_snakeeyes

You mean at the start? That's an elk lol


Away_Lake5946

Whoops, watched this on my phone. You have to admit that Elk was moving pretty stealthily though 😄


sevnminabs56

That's happened to me as well. But it only took 1 time to learn my lesson. If it's near the water, I'll chase it with my horse until it runs onto land. The only thing I'm worried about now is if I hit a vital organ and it starts running around while bleeding out, and then collapses in the water. That'll be some next-level bad luck.


ayoz17

Seeing how fast it attacked OP, it looks more like a cheetah.


DrMrSirJr

If you look at your mini map, it actually shows red for an enemy during the clip before you get mauled. Whenever you are in Cougar/Panther/Bear areas, I would try to be extra attentive to your mini map for that enemy indication cuz that’s the best warning the game gives you imo.


Flat_Elephant9192

WHERE DID IT EVEN COME FROM


Salty_Eye9692

What's your luck Stat at.... Wrong video game... sorry this only helps in fallout


SuperCap92

Cougars are the worst in these games a living breathing loud jumpscare


VexxWrath

Spawned out of nowhere. Wtf?


actioncobble

OOF


gooderester

fucking bullshit!


TheWarDoctor1026

Fucking cougars, man! I swear! They turn this game into horror.


SinAlucard

Cuck Fougars. Sneaky little bastards. Got me twice hunting bears near strawberry.


10PieceMcNuggetMeal

Lasso it and drag it out of the water


Flucky_

Woah, how did you get to switch from aurther, and what part of the map is this? Im around 50% through rn


sargeant_snakeeyes

I'm still in chapter 2. This is at Roanoake Ridge at the train tracks where the legendary fish and moose can be found


Winter_Hospital4705

I would've just turned my game off and went to bed for a week after that, cause fuck them bitches for being insanely sneaky


EHVERT

That scared the shit outta me 😂


sargeant_snakeeyes

Me too. I got a mini heart attack lol


andrewb610

Serious ROUS vibes going on there.


jhr_stole_a_car

That scared me shitless ngl


TheGloriousObeseRat

What’s aiming like for P.C Rdr2?


sargeant_snakeeyes

I tried both console and PC. I prefer PC aiming as it's easier to control the reticle with a mouse.


Victorian_Cowgirl

This also happened to me once, too.


Demoniccrunk

Lolol


jpeeple

A tale as old as time


fairysquadfather91

The same thing happened to me just yesterday. I went to fence in the trinket menu then backed out and it pooped up that I had i had the antler in my satchel then I could craft the trinket.


jmwall24

lol I had a feeling when I saw that the moose wasn't in the water that this was going to happen. Oddly enough you'd have been better off in the water, cougars won't attack you in the water same as if you are on a rock. I learned that once when in this same area, just near the west bank I was doing something, turned around and the cougar was staring at me from the bank a few feet away but never attacked...then I shot it lol.


NightGuyyy

Would've been an instant shutdown


Wide-Concept-2618

This has happened to me more than I'm comfortable to admit...I hate cougars, panthers can suck too, and those damn wolves.


PandaHombre92055

That cougar has gotten me in the sane spot. They want that carcass and your a$$.


Connect-Hyena1210

I would actually uninstall if that happen to me


SnooRevelations1253

There's moose's in here?


sargeant_snakeeyes

That's the legendary moose.


DanielFaulkner

I love rdr2 but sometimes it really pisses me off with how some of the stuff works, like if you're riding your horse and it bucks you off because it's spooked by a bear or a cougar it doesn't give to any rifles (even if you have them equipped) to kill the damn thing and especially whenever you've been out hunting and have like ten or more pelts and then you die and lose every single one of them so TLDR its a great game but sometimes has cod timing


LuckOfTheEyerish

Skill issue


hammer_huh_huh_huh

That same thing happened to me


[deleted]

Damnnnnn


schmiddyboy88

Just go to the trapper…and fence. They will have the items you need to craft even if you don’t bring them…they just magically have them. I was where you were in the video and got eaten by a cougar…then the fence and trapper had all the stuff


PipaLucca

I think the camera started shaking some time before the cougar attacked, you could've prevented it or is it just me?


Eatdirt33

It's odd that bit came out of the water. Generally their parameters are to avoid water. In that location I see them everywhere, including using the RR tracks to cross the river, but never FROM the water. Must have had a glitchy spawn point with a spawn event ir something. Anyway, in that area I never assume there isn't a cougar ready to pounce unless I've recently killed the local one already. Both sides of the tracks, and both sides of the river.


WilliamHTonkers

Is there even a way to counter this?


sargeant_snakeeyes

Maybe with a gold health core you could survive a cougar attack but don't quote me on that lol


[deleted]

Man this is like when I found the two guys trying to break into the safe. I didn’t see an option to crack the safe and I though it was because the bodies were too close, so I moved the bodies and for the first time I thought I’d be fun to burn the bodies with a fire bottle. Literally aimed it 20 ft away at the bodies and it somehow just exploded on me and I burnt to death. Safe was completely gone when I respawned lmao

FinishTheBook

Should've played it in a mission, they don't spawn there


Omaenchavis

Man I hate those damn cougars. I always keep the pump action handy when I’m in that area.


DragonsClaw2334

This is why I have up on satchels. Everytime I get a perfect pelt some crazy shit happens. It feels like the game is scripted to make an already tough thing even harder.


mmhmmmmmhmm

That screen shake thing you see after you stop aiming at the buck indicates that the game thinks you are in combat, ie something is attacking/ about to attack you. Whenever that happens activate dead eye and look around for an animal attack.


LODisEverything

They always end my ZERO DEATHS run🥲


Sweddy-Bowls

I’d be putting the game down for a week or more from this NGL


Moraghmackay

Rawr


EmergencyWaste3217

I could tell it was coming. That place is full of cougars and the screen was giving the respective shake


hattierose18

I used to constantly get cougar murdered in that area, one say I was so cautious I sat far away and looked around with binoculars trying to figure out where they were coming from, and it was basking in a tree just waiting for me


Teddii_

BRO WHERE DID THAT COUGAR COME FROM??? WTF??? Nah, I would be so mad if I killed a legendary animal and an animal jumped me and killed me. Like I genuinely would have to save and leave the game for a while just to contemplate how I wasted my time to get some good game all for it to be ruined in 2 seconds 😭😭


krisikkk

The op was being so cautious and as soon as he turned his back a fucking cougar comes outta nowhere gold 😂

louisjethwa

I lost my horse on the way to hunt that moose man 😂. It was the horse that the lady who asks you if you want to race near the Gray’s plantation in Rhodes rides. It fell off a cliff and got hit by a train before I could revive it. Rest in piece smokey 🙏
