(click above to open the guide)

(the animal difficulty table was inspired by a forum post made by another contributer, whom i can not find or credit)

I have added a section for mission guides. I have only added one mission so far (trampfine a family picture), let me know if there are any missions in particular you would like to see here.

Cauzway:I would say this game is more relatable to real life hunting than most of it's competition however the technology is not sufficient to account for things like smells, peripheral view, tempeature or humidity. So games can not currently compete with real experience however they can give you a taste of the real deal without the need to spend time traveling to a real hunting area or paying for things like a real hunting license, fuel or ammunition. In real life you may need to spend an entire day and lots of money to hunt and the game may meet enough of your demands instead. Further more you can pick up some details to your real life advantage such as animal calls and tracks, although not perfectly attuned to real life it may be enough for you to make an actual identification in a real hunt or wilderness experience.

Cauzway: I have not attempted to make the game more realistic beyond the basic options in the game. Although I greatly favour realism in games I am also of the opinion that some compromises are needed since technology is limited. An example of this would be the in game visual aid for hearing an animal call direction, in reality your ears are able to tell a fairly accurate direction most of the time whilst in a game the sound system may not be able to deliver that detail and aid may be necessary.

Thank you MrShambler! I know writing these guides (and confirming / gathering the info) can be overwhelming and take up a lot of your personal time. Plus it looks like a professional guide!

My only question is - how reliable / relatable is this game to real life hunting? Have you come across any details or methods to tweak this game into more realistic training game?

Thanks again.

Can you also add proper usage methods of the calls and scents?

bØrn2beBjØrn: That is a great idea. I have now added callers to the guide.
