COVER SCENT:
More difficult than the Attract
Scent strategy, the cover scent masks your
human scent so wind conditions will not effect
successful tracking. You will not find any large
bucks when using this strategy.
NO SCENT:
The most challenging strategy, with
no scent you must always move with the wind
directly in your face when approaching a deer.
You will be rewarded for finding the large bucks!
(See WEATHER, TIME AND TERRAIN for more
about wind direction.)
TRACKING
Move Around & Look
for Clues
As the hunter, you appear as a
dot on the map. Pressing the
DIRECTIONAL PAD lets you
move one space at a time in
any of the eight directions.
Each time you move, you might
see one or more dots next to the list of clues
under "
TRACKING
" on the center screen.
Clues tell you what type of deer activity is in the
area you are currently hunting.
Placing Your
Treestands
As you move around
the terrain, you want
to place treestands
in locations where
you see clues. When
you want to place a
stand, press the
ENTER button and a box will appear around
"you", the flashing dot.
After you have placed all five deer stands, the
hunt will automatically begin. If you set up less
than five treestands, press the HUNT button to
start hunting.
Watch for Deer
After you press the
HUNT button, you
will see other dots
surrounding you.
These are deer! You
will see the deer as
long as you are in a
treestand.
Use Your CALL and RATTLE
While you are in your treestand, try calling or
rattling to attract the deer. Certain
combinations of these sounds are effective in
luring deer, depending on the season. Try
experimenting to see which combinations work
best in each season.
HARVESTING A DEER
Once you have a deer close to you, it will
appear in the TARGET WINDOW. If it's a doe,
let it go. If it's a buck, get ready to release an
arrow.
Draw the Bow String
Hold the bow level while drawing the string
back. This initializes the virtual aiming
mechanism.
Wait for Your Best Shot!
Before you fire at the buck, make sure it is
facing to the side so that you can harvest it
with only one shot. If the deer is in any other
position when you shoot, you will miss the deer
and see
"UNETHICAL SHOT"
appear on the
screen.
Check Your Distance!
Look at the two yardage meters. The top meter
tells you how far the deer is standing from you.
The bottom meter tells you how far you can
You are about to embark on a challenging
eight-day hunt, in which you will be tracking big
bucks on five different terrains. You will earn
points for each buck you harvest— the larger
the buck, the more points it's worth.
In your quest for the top trophy buck, keep an eye
on the wind direction and try not to spook the
deer! You will discover where and when the
hunting is best, and you will learn to use weather
conditions and decoys to your best advantage.
Good luck and good hunting!
