DEER HUNTER 2014--THE GAME!

Since I haven't been hunting for three seasons, my brother David, introduced me to the game, Deer Hunter 2014 by Glu Inc. I downloaded the game but didn't get into playing it at all because I simply didn't understand the game itself. So Thanksgiving Day after eating a nice turkey dinner, my brother and I discussed hunting. I mentioned that I had downloaded the game but didn't quite get how it all worked. Well I was talking to the right person. David had apparently made it to Level 7 or 8 and had earned enough money from Contract Hunts to buy some nice guns. After a little explanation and some demonstration, the game came to a new life for me.

Before I knew it I was playing a couple times a day as soon as I was reenergized on the game. I began to make some serious progress and Savage 46 was getting good at hunting. It actually felt good to be "successful in hunting" after several years of not actually hunting. Soon I finished up Region 1--Pacific Northwest, then Region 2--North Africa, Region 3--British Colombia, Region 4--South Africa, and onto Region 5--Alaska. Being on vacation for a week helped keep things moving. When I got to Region 5 the app started to act up and not work well. The only feature that worked in the region was Rare Hunts and the Holiday Series. So I was stuck. Apparently there were a few hundred other people stuck and weren't able to play a favorite game.

I really like the game because its FREE! But Glu Inc. is also really good at making the game seem as realistic as possible. It also has a complexity to it as well but its a nice challenge and not ridiculous as other games. The paid hunts also see fair and its not unbelievably challenging to move from one region to the next if you continue to hunt, update your guns, and have good aim. Overall the game was updating well from one region to the next until Region 5. Its disappointing because I lost all interest in playing the same hunts over and over again. I hope to restart playing if Glu Inc. fixes the problems in a good update soon. I have been tempted to delete the app and start over but I would hate to lose everything that i worked up to this point. So hurry up Glu Inc!! My patience won't last forever as "deer don't hang around forever."
