The key to hunting AI is stealth. Use your scent button to detect nearby animals; their icons will appear on your screen. A meter, visible while crouching, tracks how close you are to spooking the animal. Movement directly impacts this meter: sprinting fills it rapidly, running significantly, trotting moderately, and walking minimally. Strategic movement is crucial.

Consider your approach direction. Downwind approaches alert animals quickly, crosswind is moderate, while upwind offers the best stealth. Observe the animal icon; a question mark indicates increased sensitivity. Pause your movement until the question mark disappears to avoid alarming the prey.

The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint; AI animals are fast, but sprinting should enable you to catch up. Their movements are unpredictable, so practice in open areas with minimal obstacles for clearer tracking.

To secure your prey, get extremely close to initiate a bite. Once caught, drop and eat it. Repeat this hunting cycle until satiated.
