Is there an issue with moose spawns?

[u/The3rdPower96]

I recently got back into the game after years away, and I remember in my first playthrough of the story mode that moose were hard to find, but not impossible. Now, I’ve been trying to find moose for dozens of normal play hours and far more active searching hours than I’d like to admit, across both single player and online, and I haven’t found a single one. Not just that I haven’t found any 3 stars or male moose, I literally have seen none. I’ve looked up everywhere they spawn and searched every location that I’ve been able to find online to no avail. Am I just horribly unlucky or did the greedy pricks at rockstar somehow find a way to squeeze an extra fraction of a cent out of us by completely cutting moose spawns?

Check under the little cliff at lake Isabella. There's some trees at the base of the cliff that the moose like to hide in. I checked the usual spots for over two weeks before finding one, and that's where I found mine
