I got Cabela's 'Dangerous Hunts' 2 years ago for Christmas. While I have to admit that it's very entertaining, there is one thing about it that frustrated me to the point where I quit playing. When you load a map, there is an extremely finite number of prey on it. For example, if the goal of a hunt is to bag 3 mule deer, then there are only 3 mule deer on that damn map. If a coyote gets to one of your mulies first, you have to start the hunt all over. It just got frustrating, then boring. I would have liked this game a lot if there would have been some kind of random prey generator that would bring prey in and off of the map from the borders, but oh well. I will say this, they don't call it Dangerous Hunts for no reason, there were quite a few species of predators that would come right at you and kill your character if you weren't able to shoot or stab them to death first. It certainly blurred the line between hunting and being prey yourself.
