![]() Finally, I was going to shoot one of those gray wolves that seemed to be everywhere, even as I was looking for absolutely whatever else I could find. I was 30 minutes into my hike before my hunting dog found some fresh urine from a gray wolf. It was within 100, then 90, then 80 yards of me. ![]() I got down on my stomach and centered the gray wolf in my cross hairs. Then and only then did the game warn me that I had the wrong caliber bullet in my rifle. Too big of a caliber? Too small? Didn’t say. All I knew was, I’d bought this fancy backpack for upwards of 750 credits, and it didn’t have the right caliber bullets rattling around in there either. ![]() So that’s the Holy Trinity of conditions that need to come together to pull off a hunt: 1) a license to shoot the animal you want to shoot, 2) correct caliber of bullet to shoot the animal you want to shoot, and 3) make sure your dumb dog doesn’t start barking and scaring off your target before you've had a chance to shoot it.ĭespite some slightly exotic locations, at least compared to my lack of airline travel during quarantine, a lot of the places hit home right away.

Out there on these long walks, I’m having to read the lie of the land with the focus of a pro golfer. I’ve never been more frustrated by a lovely tuft of ferns than when they’ve hidden my quarry that I’ve been tracking for a full 30 minutes. Or when I’m staring out at what looks like some Little House on the Prairie plains, to have my target dip under a very low, very smooth-looking ridge, only to never be seen again. Never thought I’d be delighting in finding a long line of sight running across a field of knee-high grasses, especially after coming out of thickets of pine trees so dense I could hardly see my hand in front of my face. But that’s part of getting good in Hunting Simulator 2. Getting ahead of your prey, finding yourself downwind, peeling a long sight line out of the topography, and pouncing like the apex predator you are (at least with that boomstick).
