For the deer hunter looking to stay in practice in the many months between seasons, he need not look further than his own computer. There are many deer hunting games available both free on the internet, and for a price at the electronics store. This will allow the hunter to work on his aim and reaction time, and stave off some of the boredom he may suffer from in the off season. There are a few options available, all having different benefits:
Hunting Unlimited 4
The biggest pro to this game is that it isn’t just deer hunting, a hunter can try any number of other species. And if deer is all that is preferred, there are still 50 different scenarios and weapons available to practice with! While this game has a heftier price tag, it is well worth it for the hunter who gets bored easily and likes to try new things.
Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2007
This game also offers the hunter the choice of hunting any number of other species. It focuses not so much on the hunt itself, but on the excitement of the hunt. This is also the 10th anniversary edition and is sponsored by one of the biggest names in hunting gear. While this game also has a bigger price tag, for the adrenaline junkie hunter, it’s a win.
Deer Drive
This game focuses only on deer. It is 3-D arcade style, and allows the hunter to enter into an area with deer, moose, and other wild animals to choose from. It is available online through the publisher’s webiste.
ESPN Deer Hunting
This game is one of the best available for deer hunting, but that may be because it is totally free. It is available through ESPN’s website and Flash will be necessary to play, but most computers already have this installed anyway. The hunter can choose the type of stand or blind he wants to use, and while the graphics are a little on the basic side, for a free game, there certainly isn’t anything to complain about!
Deer Hunter
This is possibly the oldest example of deer hunting virtually on the market. While there have been no new versions released lately, it does offer the hunter classic hunting techniques. The graphics aren’t of the quality of some of the other games, but for the hunter who wants just the basics, this is a nice option.
