This is the fifth game in the Deer Hunter series, and the last published by
WizardWorks before it got acquired by Infogrames (later Atari.)

As in the previous games, you play the role of a hunter who roams through
several maps around the world in search of bucks and does to kill and add to
his or her trophy collection.

The main addition to this sequel is the presence of more species of wild
animals – elk, grizzly bears, black bears, and mountain lions – who can also
be hunted. While deer tend to run away from hunters, these other wild animals
may attack the player. They are rare, though, and not as threatening or
dangerous as in some other Sunstorm hunting titles, like the Rocky Mountain
Trophy Hunter series.

There’s also a Tournament mode where other AI hunters are present in the field
hunting (or scaring the hunt) with you for a set amount of time, and the
Hunting Season, which appeared before in _Deer Hunter 3_ and _4_ , which has
now been expanded so that you can spend several years (in game time) managing
a herd.

Another difference, on the minus side, is that _Deer Hunter 4_ ‘s option to
play the game as the deer (the hunted instead of the hunter), has since been
removed.
