Our take on Deer Hunting - The Season
The defining constraint is that a buck already harvested cannot be hunted again during that career, giving each successful hunt a lasting effect on the available targets.
What is Deer Hunting - The Season?
Hunt deer whose behavior varies with the season, weather, and rut stage.
The landscape shifts from late summer to midwinter as each hunting season progresses. Bucks vary in size, with some potentially scoring over 200 inches, and the game states that a buck cannot be harvested twice during a career. Successful hunts grant experience, which can be used to buy or upgrade firearms and equipment. Available gear includes scopes, ammunition, camouflage, calls, blinds, tree stands, and other hunting items. The weapon selection includes compound and long bows, rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, and revolvers. A Legacy Mode is also available through the Steam app’s beta settings.
