Overview

In Big Buck Hunter you set out to hunt deer, bucks specifically. The weapon of choice is a pump action shotgun and you start out by choosing one of four regions of the U.S. (West, Midwest, Northeast or South). Then you have a choice of four "stands", of which one is "Expert" which determines the difficulty of the shot. Once there, you are faced with two or more deer grazing in the area. As the level starts, the deer bolt and you have a very short time to kill the buck. If the buck gets away or you hit a doe, you get a miss. Three misses and it's game over. If you manage to kill three bucks you get a get a bonus round, such as quails, where you get unlimited ammo to shoot as many as you can out of a set amount of birds. target practice where you have a number of targets to hit, or skeet shooting. No matter the version, the game centers on a player's ability to shoot up to three bucks a stage without shooting a doe or female animal, thus ending the player's turn prematurely. Later versions such as Big Buck Hunter Pro and Big Buck Safari also allow for critter shooting and trophy hunting (Safari only).
