The name says everything. Skillz. You can use them to play for money or practice for freedom and pay off your credit.
We love this game so much. We expected less than what we got.
Needs more hunting fields though.
Super fun. Challenging. But love the challenge.
This is an amazing hunting experience! You are challenged by the range as well as your opponent whic Ryou are able to choose from. This is also a game youre able to bet real money on! Recommend to all snipers! MB.
SOOOOOO GOOOODDD SLAY BADDIES OMG MATERIAL GIRLYY POP.
The game is fine. We love it. Thanks D Ford.
Sometime Ill miss real deer because Im not looking but paying this game.
The interface is easy to use and the game options are refreshing! Highly recommend.
Best hunting game in the play store.
Its really fun although Im new and still learning we wish there was a lil more time to shot.
U should add some ducks and moose and prong horn and some calls and were u could move and add shotguns and pistols.
We really love the action even though we ve never hunted our self.
Fun loving the competition level.
As responsive as our Rem. 30-06!! Caution::; Elevation of Blood Pressure. We GARON-TEEE!!! Great Game. Helped keep our Sanity these last several years.
Love the Game would like to see a bow and arrow.
Thank you for turning this into a mobile game as its one of our favorites.
Great game to spend free time. We recommend to all.
Lets go what are you waiting for.
We like this one a lot tbh. Most of the games like this seem like you are playing against masters or bots. This actually feels like real players. We wish there was more customization items but maybe we just need to play longer.
MUUCCHH!! BETTER than DEERHUNTER!!! Yeah, we said DEERHUNTER.
Quick fun to pass time out win actual cash.
Love playing this game lots of fun.
This game always gets us to laugh. We love it.
This game is the greatest. Its a lot of fun for hunters who cant go out hunting on rainy days. The graphics are great and it even goes by seasonally.
We love this game!!! Only complaint is there should be a way to buy more coins so one can upgrade faster and should be more upgrades! But great game.
Really enjoy playing against others.
Just like playing it at the bars!! But you can win money!! Even better.
We absolutely love this game!! Competitors are real and not bots and thats what makes this game a challenging but real experience!!! We DIG BIG BUCK HUNTER.
The game is legit and has a great feel just like the real thing.
Best game we played in a while even without the money we havent cashed out yet but we have almost 70 $80 in winnings.
Love the game. Except for it crashing us out twice. STILL A FUN GAME.
Great Game to relief some stress.
This game is so underrated its fun and easy to play nice people friendly chat has a great interment to make friends as well as if youre good at it you could even earn cash but not as easy as it seems at first.Then you can even get with skills they have an awesome rewards system you could get enough points to get a car omg Im so excited about that .With all that a side the game effects seem to be dated and most of the games seem to have a old school ps1 vibe but its good but definitely needs an overhaul to compete with todays cutting edge graphics and gameplay anyway its great and just an observation love you skills we enjoy this game especially.
This App is extremely challenging each and every game. We've tried tons of shooting games, but this is the Only one we keep playing.
Its a good game some similar to the game we play already we enjoy playing this game.
This hunting game is exceptionally most enjoyable and has hunts all over the world from Whitetail deer to wild cats in Africa.
And Im the best you cant beat us.
