General Guidelines
For your first shot to be absolutely perfect, take all the time that you need to aim.
When you align your shots properly, you will be rewarded with a great first shot.
If you do miss, then you need to reload. While you do this the animal might
escape. But, if you can aim for the heart or lungs every time, you’ll advance faster
and you won’t need too many upgrades. You just need to wait a few seconds or a
minute or so for the animal to change it position such that you have a better aim.
For uncomplicated heart shot, head shot, and lung shots use the Infrared and
Sight Gun Upgrades.
In Deer Hunter the animals mostly stand still. This means you have all the time in
the world to plan your first shot.
For hundred percent accuracy, zoom in fully and use infrared. If you are aiming
for a heart shot, aim from the back or the side since the lungs cover the heart at
the front.
One hand should be on the gun target while the other is on the trigger.
Shoot straight away if the target is aligned or risk destabilizing your aim.
Shoot the easiest target last of all in missions involving more animals.
When you aim for the difficult targets first, you have lot of time to shoot well. The
closest targets should be shot last when you’re pressed for time. Be aware of
where the targets are so that you already have a good idea of where to aim next
once you have reloaded.
The Trophy Hunts should be intended for when you can’t go much further
anymore on the regular routes. These missions rake in more money, but they
burn energy much faster.
Don’t cut corners on Power Upgrades.
