STARTING A NEW HUNT
Beginning the Hunt
Select HUNT from the Main Menu. You are now given a variety of options for your hunt. The first is the location. Choose where and when you wish to hunt (dawn, day or night). Each location is unique with varying difficulties and terrain.
Suggestion: First time hunters may wish to use the Observation Mode to familiarize themselves with animal behavior and different terrain.
Next, you will see that there are a wide variety of animals to hunt. Make your choice of creatures to hunt.
Tap Next to advance to the next screen. Here you choose your weapon and accessories. The weapons can be set for kill or Tranquilize. Choose any accessories you might wish to use, by taping on the appropriate checkbox. When you have made your choices, click HUNT to begin the hunt.
Note: Keep in mind that regardless of which animal you choose to hunt, there are others living on the islands that do not appear on your radar.
HUNTING TIME
When choosing an Area you have 1 of 3 options, Daytime, Night and Morning.
Hunting Time: Dawn
Dawn is good time for hunting herbivorous creatures, because they are less easily frightened. Carnivores are less aggressive at dawn.
Hunting Time: Day
Day is the best time for hunting, because you can see the animal's every move much better than at night or dawn. It is good for beginners.
Hunting Time: Night
You can hunt at night using night-vision system. At night many small herbivorous creatures sleep. However, carnivores are more aggressive at night.
OBSERVER MODE
You can also choose to use Observer mode. Observer mode is a great way for beginners to familiarize themselves with terrain, animal movements and habits. You can take Photo Camera with you and take great pictures close to the animals without risking to be attacked. No other weapons and items except for Map, Goggles and Photo Camera can be used in Observer Mode.
ANIMAL BEHAVIOR
Each animal will react to a hunter differently depending on its nature. Some are more adept at detecting your scent, while others may see you in the distance, or hearing your footsteps. Once it takes note of you, a number of reactions can happen. Herbivores may run away or attack you if they feel cornered. Carnivores may attack you head on, or gather in an organized pack to flank you and take you out.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL HUNTING
  • Move into the wind, so the animal will not catch your scent: it can spook herbivores and attract hungry carnivores.
  • Use the call to attract prey to your location, and move to cover before making the kill. An elevated position usually makes the best spot to perch after you have made a call from the valley below.
  • Novice hunters should use additional equipment (Camouflage, Radar, and Cover Scent) until you feel comfortable with your hunting skills. While some points may be lost, learning animal behavior can be a lifesaver later in the hunt.
  • Moving slowly makes less noise and will not startle animals.
  • Use your surroundings. Climb hills and use the binoculars to get a good view of the valleys below. Move around obstacles to flank your prey from upwind of them.
  • When herbivores detect you, they will generally try to get as far away from your as possible. If you pursue them, they will usually continue in the same direction until they no longer detect you.
  • If you have enough points, bring several weapons with you, and save your best weapon for the Carnivores. Don't waste your shots on non-target herbivores such as Pigs.
  • Carnivores often have difficulty in navigating cliffs and precipices. If you detect a predator early enough, jump into a ravine or over a cliff, and then pick off the beast as it attempts to find a way to you.
  • Jumping into water to escape predators is not recommended, as the Carnivores move almost as quickly in water as they do on land.
  • If you get killed, all of your trophies and points from that hunt will be lost. Once you have a trophy, it's best to evacuate and re-arm. Don't get greedy!
  • TROPHY ROOM
    This is where you may browse your trophies in 3D, walking up to and around each of your kills.
    Once your trophy room is full, all new, bigger trophies will replace the smaller trophies. Enter Camera Roll in your Trophy Room to view, manage and share photos with your friends.
