Choosing a Skill Level
In Deer Hunter 4, you have the option of selecting the skill level for your hunt. The level you select will affect elements of the
simulation to make your hunt either more or less challenging.
To select a Skill Level:
1.
Select 'Skill Level' from the Deer Hunter 4 Main Menu. If you don't see this button, you may need to select 'Next' or 'Back'
to arrive at the correct menu screen.
2.
At the next menu, select your desired skill setting. 'Just Learning' for beginning players, 'Bagged a Few' for players of
moderate skill level, or 'Avid Hunter' for advanced players looking for a more challenging hunt.
3.
After making your choice, select 'Ok' to return to the Main Menu.
Notes about Skill Levels:
The skill level will affect a variety of things. The most important is how easy the deer spook. On the "Avid Hunter" skill level,
deer are extremely spooky and will almost always detect the hunter if they are coming from downwind. In addition to the
spookability of the deer, here is a list of other factors that are determined by the skill level:
!
Deer response to calls and scents --- The deer are much more responsive to calls and attractant scents on the easier
levels. On "Avid Hunter" setting, the deer will respond to calls, but only when they would in real life. Often, a deer is
heading to a feeding area or to bed down and will not turned back every time by even the best of callers.
!
Deer rack sizes and scoring --- On the easiest skill level, the maximum rack size is 8 total points. On the "Bagged a Few
Setting" it is 12 points. All rack sizes are available on the "Avid Hunter" setting. In addition to the limitation on rack
the maximum score is limited for the easier skill levels. Thus the largest 8 pointer on "Just Learning" is not as large as
largest on "Avid Hunter."
!
Sporting arm damage --- On the easier skill levels, the amount of damage done by each sporting arm is increased. This
means that deer can be downed with a less than perfect shot. On "Avid Hunter" level, however, a good shot is
and with a bow the shot must be perfectly placed in the vitals.
