How to unlock the The Moose achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide
Case: The Set Up [AD Vice].
Part way through this case, you'll come to a point where you'll need to follow Candy to her destination on foot. The aim is to follow her without going incognito (so pressing at newspapers or shop windows - except for the start) or taking cover (pressing on walls or objects). You can still obviously take cover by just standing behind objects, just don't press .
Following Candy is pretty easy but keep your distance. If you get too close she'll simply just turn around and spot you, which will then disable the achievement. Wait for her to turn around corners then sprint to catch up! Hide behind cars, fences and even dustbins to conceal yourself. Use the 3rd person camera to your advantage. As long as you can still see Candy with the camera, the game won't tell you she is out of site. Though doing this and letting her walk miles away won't work, as she will then start to vanish in the distance!

You can also earn The Shadow trophy at this time if you haven't done so already. If you get caught, you will have start that scene over by pressing , then quitting and resuming the game from the interview in her house, that will ensure that you get the trophy. Do not Retry!
You will earn this trophy during The Set Up case while on the Vice desk. You will end up leaving Candy’s home and tailing her. You should never press the or buttons while in this objective of this case. Don’t ever get into cover or go incognito (sit on a bench, read a paper (you start off that way) or look at a window). You can hide behind a car if needed or a tree as long as you don’t press the to get into cover.
The best way to go about this trophy is to stay at a distance. Stay at least a block away, but keep her in view until she turns a corner. If the red blip on the mini map starts to blink, it means you have lost sight of her. Staying that far away from will not spook her nor will she stop to turn around and see if she is being followed.
