Successful AI hunting hinges on stealth. Utilize your scent tracking ability (the scent button) to locate nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. While tracking, crouching displays a meter showing how close you are to startling the animal. Movement affects this meter: sprinting fills it rapidly, running significantly impacts it, trotting fills it more slowly, and walking fills it at the slowest rate – the preferred method as you approach.

Consider your approach direction. Downwind will spook the animal faster; crosswind is moderate, while upwind is ideal.

A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. If the question mark is visible, movement will accelerate the meter's filling. Remain stationary until it disappears.

The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once it flees; their erratic movements might require some practice. Open fields with minimal obstacles offer the best hunting grounds.

To capture the animal, get extremely close for a successful bite. Once captured, drop and eat your prey, repeating the process until satisfied.
