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 shoot — 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!

window for the deer to appear. When a deer appears, follow
the instructions under "BAGGING A DEER" section of this
manual to get off a shot. You will have a total of 10 deer

you bag. You will be given a bonus round if you hit all 10 tar-
gets. Points are deducted for shooting a doe.

If you chose HUNT mode after starting a
new game, follow the directions below:
Choose a Scent
On the information window, next to the list of scents, a dot will
flash next to the word
"None."
Press the down side of the
direction pad to highlight either
"Cover"
or
"Attract"
if you
want, then press ENTER. The type of scent you choose
determines the difficulty and size of bucks you will be hunting.
ATTRACTANT SCENT:
The easiest game strategy, the
Attractant Scent lets you move with the wind at your back or
side as you move to a different treestand.
COVER SCENT:
Harder than the Attractant Scent strategy,
the cover scent masks your human scent so wind conditions
are not critical to successful tracking. At this level, however,
you won't find any large bucks.
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.)

1. Move Around & Look for Clues
As the hunter, you appear as a dot on the
map. Pressing the direction pad lets you
move one space at a time in any of eight
directions.
Each time you move, you might see one
or more dots next to the list of clues under "Tracking" on the
center LCD.
These clues tell you what
type of deer activity is visible
in the spot you currently
occupy.
2. Place Your
Treestands
As you move around the ter-
rain, you want to place tree-
stands 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 flash-
ing dot.
After you have placed all five deer stands, the hunt automati-
cally begins. If you set up
less than five treestands,
press HUNT to start hunt-
ing.
3. Watch for Deer
After you press HUNT, you
will see other dots sur-
rounding you. These are
deer! You will see these deer as long as you are in a tree-
stand.
4. Use Your CALL and RATTLE
While you are in your treestand, try calling or catting 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.

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.
1. Draw Bow String
Hold the bow out level while drawing the string back. This ini-
tializes the virtual aiming mechanism.
2. Wait for Your Best Shot!
Before you fire at the buck, make sure it is facing to the side
so that you can bag 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.
