What Makes Bow Hunter 2016 Stand Out
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.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

It is the best game we have ever played.
This game is so amazing because The fact that you could walk around hunt in tree stands!It it also shows you The patience of hunting.
We have played all games of this kind on the App Store and would admit this one is just the best.
Excellent game, very cool graphics and gameplay. Animal behavior and hunting process are very realistic.Moreover, before killing them we love to spend a lot of time watching them. Much better than the previous version.
We think this is one of the best games of such kind we have come across. Deer stalking is really exciting. At first it seemed to be difficult but then we learned how to do it.
Thank you for offering this cool game for free.
We've never been on real hunt but we really enjoyed this game. We spent several evenings playing it. We think that soon we will try hunting in real life.
Excellent bow hunting simulator. This game seemed interesting for us because we love to hunt but not always we have time to go out of town.
The updated game is a real bomb for our husband! Hunting is his hobby and nevertheless he doesnt like games at all he is fond of this very app. We downloaded the previous version of it for him and updated now, so that he cant stop playing it and even taking part in tournaments. He is looking forward to new updatings).
Wem in love with this game. We like splendid graphics there. Many different hunts and challenges wont let you be bored. Once we even won the cash prize and we hope we will do it again some day.
The 2015 version was great but this surpassed all the expectations! The graphics is amazing and gamplay is even smoother than it was before. This game is definitely worth checking out.
This is one of the best hunting games we've seen out there. Lots of cool features like different types of bows and arrows, the physics of the game are very accurate and the graphics are awesome. Worth checking out.
We love this game so much! The graphics is amazing, it is easy to use. We don't used to hunt for the animals but we try it in this game. We think it's much better than in real life.
This app is so realistic, we feel like we're on a real hunting.
The graphics have improved. Excellent time-killer game. The interface is simple and very comfortable. The beginner will easily learn to play this game.
There's so much to love about this app. It is so realistic that deers run away from you if you won't commit to appropriate hunting techniques. Serious variety of bows keeps the process interesting.
Awesome. Graphics are realistic. The controls and aiming are comfortable. We play it on our iPad and we just can't have enough. Thanx for a grand game.
We like this game. It's very realistic simulator. The graphics are very great and colorful. Very interesting levels. This game is a great time killer.
We normally play hunting games that have guns so it's different but overall we like it.
Finally a decent bow hunting game. Makes us go back and play all the time.
Bow hunters is one of the best hunting games in App Store. Big variety of maps with different animals. Animals behavior is very complicated as in real life. Best choice for us cuz we love hunting without killing real animals.
It's much better than previous version – all bugs fixed and improvements are really significant. It's a realistic and challenging hunter game.
Thanks for the update. We're especially pleased with the gold awards. We think this game really immerses you into the forest and hunt atmosphere, and you can not stop. Like it.
2016 version of bow hunters brings so real landscapes. Animal behavior changed and we had to train our skills again.
We're not a big fan of hunting but this app really impressed us. It has such a great choice of weapons, animals and hunts that even we could pick smth exciting for ourselves.
We love this game because we always wanted to shoot with a bow and here we can fully experience it.
We're so satisfied with this game because it has improved a lot since the previous version and it is very catchy to play.
If you need a great, exciting, realistic game with nice colorful graphics and great control is your choice. This game can not be called easy, and it makes it even better.
Really nice game with kinda "brutal" setting, that we like so much. Game teachs to be patient, keep calm and, of course, to be very accurate. In addition, beautiful graphics makes this game so great.
So attractive and realistic hunting simulator. Great one we wish we had iPad to have full hd experience with it.
The visuals are not the best, but they are great. Don't forget, the game is free. Overall, the gameplay is fun and relaxing. We can rate it 5 stars.
We adore this game cause the graphics is really cool and we have a good choice of plains to play. Missions are hard but we don't care. It makes the game more interesting.
This is five star app because it is very fun to play when we feel like shooting something. We did not hunt in real life we love animals. We think it is the best hunting simulation.
It's a very good game that provides you an opportunity to shoot and kill deer. You know you can really relieve the stress with it. Also great graphic and shooting system.
We're amazed by how this game is well done. Graphics are gorgeous. We've never thought that a smartphone game can be so realistic. Super.
Now we can understand people who love hunting. The game is so tricky and challenging, you should take everything into consideration: wind, noise. Very realistic.
We started playing this game when it first came out and we still love it as much as we did if not maybe even a little better.
Nice app, very good graphics, mechanics seem to be quite realistic, we liked it.
This game is great because it is very unusual and unique. We can hunt and no animal will suffer. We like it.
This game has such a great 3D graphics. Forest looks atmospheric and gameplay is interactive.
The game is lovely. Great graphics and physics, intersting gameplay. You must consider everything when playing, even the wind! A great timekiller, totally recommend.
This game looking amazing on iPad. Thus the playing process is very realistic and attractive. Also once we participated in a tournament and it's the coolest thing about this game for sure.
It's the best hunter game. It is highly realistic and fun to play. This game also has simple controls and the difficulty is optimal. We give it 5 stars.
This game is very good! Graphics is excellent. It is a very easy way to relax, have fun and relieve stress.
We have never hunted for real but this game excites us quite a lot. It really improves our skills of attention, accuracy and calm. The game is pretty 'heavy' because it's got nice graphics and physics so it's worth it.
To our mind the game is great. We like the graphics and the topic of hunting makes you understand the reality of this sphere much better.
Everytime we do a tree stand hunt our guy falls off the stand and then when we try to jump back into stand we glitch out and fall into the ground and then beyond and keep falling. Then it wastes our energy and we lose out on the hunt and have to start over please fix.
We think that it his a very fun game but Im definitely not a killing animals kind of guy but we really think the graphics are way better than the old version of this game and last because t not least we think people should play this game instead of going out to hunt.
The if this games gets u exited u need to try hunting it we ain't going out and killing for fun we harvest the animals but a big buck on the wall is a trophy we understand some people don't like but we grew up around just like we don't like the city and all the crime and stuff watch YouTube videos of bow hunting with the pros they pray to god respect the animals like we try to do but we understand some people thing we just kill for fun.
Can you make it a little less bloody please? That part is really sad.
