## What is Bow Hunter 2016?

Bow Hunter 2016 is a big update to the successful Bow Hunter 2015 with significant updates, improvements, and features over the American Southeast and Northeast landscapes.  

Bow Hunter 2016 now gives players the chance to get random Gold rewards for excellent hunts!   Deer behavior, camouflage effectiveness, arrow range, and ballistics are all updated and improved in Bow Hunter 2016.  While Bow Hunter 2016 has the same landscapes as Bow Hunter 2015, the hunts will be more realistic and challenging!  

And now full Cash Tournaments will be possible with anti-hack testing so all players have a chance to win cash prizes!  Bow Hunter 2016 is a realistic simulation of deer hunting with upright bows including detailed 3d terrains, stalking hunts, tree stand hunts, and regular tournaments with real cash prizes for the winning bowmen.

Look for the next simulation in the Bow Hunter series with the American Northwest and Southwest landscapes and animals!

In the Bow Hunter 2016 simulation, the player can hunt White Tail deer, Mule deer, and Black Tail deer over large terrains.   Players can stalk their trophies or hunt from tree stands in detailed 3D terrains using all the techniques of real bow hunting including scents, calls, camouflage, special arrows, optics, and powerful bows of the player’s choice.   

The deer in the simulation are easily spooked and will run quickly from the hunter if the hunter does not use the proper bow hunting techniques. The simulation contains over 100 hunts, with increasing difficulty, requiring better and better equipment, techniques, and hunting expertise.  

Players can also qualify for monthly tournaments against other hunting enthusiasts to win real world prizes like gift cards to their favorite outdoor retailer, bows, arrows, and other bow hunting accessories.  

The simulation will be updated monthly with new hunts, new challenges, new weapons, and new animals to hunt.

### 2/5 — Did not like

*2025-11-23, version 1.4*

This game not fun or great at all spent money for junk

### 1/5 — Hate this game

*2025-10-20, version 1.4*

I have played it a few times and it’s unfair because it makes you miss even when your really close to the deer. Good for you if you got a trophy buck because even if I play it forever I still wouldn’t get a trophy buck. And the game has things like energy and it takes like 5 hours to refill. It doesn’t quite make sense.
