Cabela's Big Game Hunter is the next installment in the popular hunting series, released for the Playstation 2 in November 2002. In this game, you're tasked with tracking down and shooting a variety of big game animals across 10 different locations.
The game allows you to customize your equipment and clothing before heading out on your hunt, giving you more control over how you approach each animal. You'll need to use stealth and strategy to get close enough for a shot, taking into account the weather conditions and the behavior of the animals.
You can play through the game in either quick hunt or career mode, or challenge friends online. In career mode, you can choose your cabin and see the animals you've shot, but there's no pressure to bag your limit within a certain number of days.
One of the unique features of this game is its realistic approach to hunting. You can take as many days as you need to hunt your prey, using tents to rest or walk around looking for possible spots to wait for prey. Don't forget to eat and drink to keep up your energy, as the weather conditions will affect your performance.
Play through the game in a variety of weather conditions, including rain, snow, and clear weather, and see how the animals behave differently in each environment.
