Advice for Fist Fighting Aurochs

(Ab)use your palisade gate. Lower it when you're close to winning.

An Update*

I haven't gotten a chance yet to try the sideswipe technique on an Auroch yet, but it's working pretty well on everything else I fight. I will say I seem to be killing them faster with the punch-uppercut combo, but I'll keep experimenting.

For those saying to abuse boats and walls and stuff, that's really not the point of this thread. I'm asking for advice fist fighting Aurochs because I want to actually legitimately beat them in a stand up fight. It just doesn't feel rewarding to me to cheese my way to victory, I'd rather feel like I earned it.

But then you don't get to play pinball with fleeing horses going at speed 4 in shallow water

You're really missing out on a fun gameplay element here.
