Check Your Distance!
Look at your two yardage meters. The top meter tells you
how far the deer is standing from you. The lower meter tells
you how far you could shoot an arrow, based on the angle of
the bow.
Adjust Your Distance!
To get off the perfect shot, the yardage shown on the two
yardage meters must match, (plus or minus two yards).
Increase your aiming distance by raising the front of the bow.
The greater the distance, the higher you will need to raise the
bow. Decrease your aiming distance by lowering the front of
the bow.
NOTE: Remember to hold the bow level with the
ground when you first draw the string back, then adjust
the distance.
Adjust Your Balance!
At the bottom of the target window, below the deer, is a level
meter. You must have the black dot in the center square to
get off a successful shot. Tilt the bow to the left or right to get
the level meter in balance.
If you have the string pulled back for an extended amount of
time, it will become more difficult to maintain your bow level.
This is a simulation of "buck fever," where holding a regular
bowstring back for an extended amount of time makes your
arms wobble because they have become tired.
Fire!
Once you have targeted a deer, you only have about 10 sec-
onds to get off a shot. If you miss the deer, it will escape. If
you hit the deer, the "HIT!" message will appear on the target
window. The deer's score will be shown on the information
window. Continue your hunt by moving to a different treestand.

Each time you bag a deer, you will be awarded points as
shown in the chart below.
The B&C (Boone & Crockett) score and the BTR (Buckmasters

These important factors determine the size and frequency of
deer in certain areas. The more you hunt, the more you will
learn where and when you can find the large bucks.
Weather conditions and time of day appear in the information
window. The weather may be sunny, cloudy or snowy. The
time of day may be early morning, late morning, early after-
noon, late afternoon or evening. The wind may come from
any direction.
Terrain, as seen on the map window, generally includes
forests (dark areas) and plains (light areas).
All of these factors affect where you will find the large bucks.
For example, it is good to know that deer usually feed in the
morning and evening hours and might seek shelter in the
afternoon, especially when it snows. The practiced hunter will
frequently check the information window, especially for time of
day and wind direction.
At nightfall, the hunt ends for the day. The next morning, the
deer will be in different locations, so try to bag a buck before
nightfall on any day.
Depending on which scent strategy you chose at the begin-
ning, the wind direction can be critical in tracking deer. For
example, if you chose the attractant scent, the wind should be
at your back or your side when you enter a deer-occupied
area. If the wind is blowing in your face, the deer will spook
and escape. Because of this, it is always important to check
wind conditions when tracking deer.
