The game features a variety of hunting missions and competitions, with 96 total missions to complete and 24 competitions to participate in. Players can also embark on five career hunts, where they must hunt specific species over the course of a week. The game includes authentic Cabela's equipment, such as tree stands and attractants.
To add realism to the game, players must follow real-life hunting regulations, including bag limits, time restrictions, and species-specific rules. If a player breaks these rules, they will incur penalties, which can result in losing levels or even ending the game prematurely.
