Easier aim
When you are hunting with a bow or any other difficult to aim weapon, equip yourself with the spotting scope. Zoom in and line its crosshairs up with the deer. Then, switch to your weapon. If the deer has not moved and is in range, your shot should be dead on. You can also aim the scope a slightly over the deer to adjust for the drop in the arrow (or bullet). With some time and practice you will kill them every time with this technique.

Sneaking up on deer
Use the scent cover when sneaking up on any deer.

Attracting deer
Get a deer feeder and a tree stand. Walk to an area with a lot of trees. Set up your tree stand and deer feeder. Get up in the tree stand, use the scent cover, then use your buck call. It may take several minutes to attract a deer. For best results, use your rifles.

Recommended deer hunt locations
The best place to hunt deer is Arizona. You need the buck decoy, buck call, scent cover, and the urine scent. First, use the decoy. Then, use the scent cover and urine scent. Finally, use the buck call. You should have bucks coming in a matter of seconds.

Go to the first Arizona level. Get on the four wheeler and go behind the cabin. At 200 yards there should be a deer.

Exiting tree stand safely
When in a tree stand and you want to get out, look down at the ground first. Then, get out.

Crouch warning
Do not use the tree stand, tripod, or ground blind while crouched; you will die when you attempt to exit.

Improving stats
Stats will improve as you progress through the game, based on your use of the skills associated with those stats. For example, using you tracking skill successfully during the game will result in your tracking skill improving, excellent shooting improves accuracy, sneaking up on deer improves your stealth, and running around a lot with a heavy pack increases your strength.
