TheHunter: Call of the Wild is a video game available on both PC and consoles, designed to offer players a realistic hunting experience. Contrary to its predecessor, theHunter Classic, it operates on a one-time purchase model, with the option to enhance gameplay through downloadable content (DLCs). The game currently features a selection of 15 Reserves, each providing distinct geographical settings for hunting enthusiasts.
In the current version of the game, including DLCs, players have access to a diverse array of 106 animals for hunting. This expansive roster includes various species and subspecies of deer, such as the Whitetail Deer, Roosevelt Elk, Fallow Deer, as well as predators like the Black Bear and Coyote. The hunting experience is enriched by a wide selection of weapons, comprising different caliber rifles, shotguns, pistols, and bows. Given this extensive arsenal, hunters are required to exercise discernment in their weapon selection, tailoring their choices to the specific characteristics of the targeted animal in order to maximize their score. Beyond the act of shooting, players also have the option to engage in a more contemplative pursuit, capturing the majesty of these creatures through the use of the provided in-game camera. Exploration of these expansive maps unfolds as an individual journey in itself.
Each hunting area features distinctive regions, prominent landmarks, and notable points of interest, creating a diverse and unique landscape. The vast expanses of land within these areas can be explored and hunted either solo or collaboratively with a team of up to 8 players in multiplayer mode. In the multiplayer setting, participants have the option to initiate session-wide competitions, fostering an enhanced social dimension to the hunting experience.
The core gameplay of TheHunter: Call of the Wild centers around the activities of tracking, stalking, and harvesting animals utilizing the weapons initially provided to the player or those earned throughout the game. The multiplayer mode introduces a social dimension through an in-game chat feature, making way for easier communication and coordination among hunters. Animal tracking is also made easier by the in-game GPS device, which not only displays ongoing missions and the current time, but also aids in locating animals through indicators such as footprints, droppings, vocal calls, and identification of "need zones". These need zones include drinking, feeding and resting zones for each specific animal. Night hunting is a viable and essential aspect of the game, particularly for effectively pursuing certain species.
Players also have the option to utilize natural vegetation as visual cover during the process of stalking animals. However, it is important to note that moving through dense brush generates more noise compared to walking through open grassy areas. Additionally, hunters must remain attentive to the direction and speed of the wind, as many species within the game possess a heightened sense of smell. This can pose challenges even for seasoned hunters attempting to approach these animals closely. To get around this, players have the option to buy and use a Scent Eliminator.

2023 Update: The developers have released new hunting reserves and one of my new favorites is the Emerald Coast "Australia". In addition to the new reserves, many updates and fixes have been addressed. One downside is most need zones have been reset thus if you took painstaking time to locate them - well you may need to do it again.
I will start with this one-paragraph summary below for the gamers seeking a simple yes or no for buying The Hunter Call of the Wild hunting simulation. If you want to grab an extra few tips and read my game strategy and some frustrations, then read the entire blog post. I admit this is a game I never intended to buy or play, The Hunter Call of The Wild was a summer Steam deal with a low price of just $4.95 and after seeing the ads, I thought why not?
Summary: The Hunter Call of The Wild will immerse you in a virtual hunting environment with all the bells and whistles of a highly detailed environment including dynamic weather with day and night cycles. If you enjoy being in nature, this is a great game to have just for that purpose alone to take a virtual hike through beautiful country, and spot various animals along the way; if nothing more, you can use your in-game phone to capture some stunning images. If you like hunting - this is a must-have hunting simulation! I say simulation because it does a very good job of simulating the hunting experience on many levels like buying and using the correct gun and ammo for the animal you are hunting, The simulation of animal behavior, wind direction, and noise discipline are all part of the game's engine. Did I mention the graphics/environment? Fabulous right down to the excellent animal models and sounds you hear, you will almost think you are in the environment with howling wolf packs in the distance, the snort of bison, the call of the Moose, the rattle of antlers, or the singing of birds - The Hunter Call of The Wild has it all. Do I recommend it? Yes absolutely.
Making money. Take your free rifle and ammo and climb into that nice warm bunk at the local Outpost and set your wake time to either 0500 or 1700 (most animals feed/drink during these hours), then venture out to a nearby field/lake and crouch down with your binoculars - If you are lucky in an hour or so, you should have your first kill and even discover a need zone in the process, and when you harvest that kill you earn money and XP which will help you rank up and be able to buy more skills, perks, and better equipment. Be advised, don't overhunt in any one area as it will suppress the abundance of animals for a period of time so, after about three kills move to a new area, and always crouch and move slowly in hunting areas.
Need Zones: Need Zones are areas where animal species gather to rest, feed, or drink. Each species of animal have a different time for their needs - A link to a Steam Community page showing all need zone times for each map is included below. Even if you haven't discovered where the need zone is on your map, going to any body of water at the drinking times will pay dividends and help you discover a few drinking need zones. Always observe the animals before blasting away otherwise you may miss out on discovering a zone. Be advised just because it says drinking does not necessarily mean the animal will be at the edge of the water. Sometimes they are up on shore a bit.
-To find drinking zones, Go to a lake, or river with your binoculars and observe animals drinking and you will find their drinking zones, all animals need to drink. Once the need zone icon appears on your map - click it to show what species and what time to expect them at that location.
- To Find Feeding & Resting Zones. Both these go hand in hand, You will need to do some walking and tracking, Animals move to and from need zones and leave tracks. Tracks leading into the woods will most likely lead you to a feeding or resting zone. You need to INSPECT tracks and Inspect disturbed vegetation to discover these zones or observe animals feeding or resting using your binoculars. Finding Feeding and Resting and feed zones can be time-consuming; never pass an opportunity to track an animal if you are not on an active hunt. Most rest/feed zones appear as disturbed vegetation; look for the ones that are more flattened and inspect them. Another zone indicator is a bunch of tiny hooves in a tight circle - always inspect groupings of tracks or disturbed vegetation for best results. Like I said, finding zones is time-consuming.
- The red/purple spots? Every time you harvest an animal a purple spot appears where the animal was shot, NOT where it died. The brighter red, the more animals are killed in that zone. Please note: Killing an animal from a hide/hunting blind will lessen the effect called hunting pressure, overtime these hunted zones will revive if you hunt elsewhere for a few days. So don't stay in one area killing everything that moves.
- Observe each animal before shooting: If you are hunting to raise your XP and make money avoid blasting away and the first animal you spot. Many times the higher-class animal is just behind the one you are about to shoot or hiding in the nearby bushes. It never fails, the best animals are almost always in the wrong spot. Observe for a few moments before committing to the harvest.
