Radica Games 72029 is a hunting simulation game designed for one player aged 8 and up.

The game offers two modes: Hunt and Target Practice.

In Hunt mode, the player takes on the role of a hunter and must track and harvest deer using a variety of scents, calls, and rattles. The player must also be aware of the wind direction, as it can affect the deer's behavior.

In Target Practice mode, the player shoots at targets to earn points.

The game features eight different terrains, each with its own unique challenges, and five different deer stands. The player can choose from three different scent strategies, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, to help them track deer.

COVER SCENT: More difficult than the Attract

Scent strategy, the cover scent masks your

human scent so wind conditions will not effect

successful tracking. You will not find any large

bucks when using this strategy.

NO SCENT: The most challenging strategy, with

no scent you must always move with the wind

directly in your face when approaching a deer.

You will be rewarded for finding the large bucks!

(See WEATHER, TIME AND TERRAIN for more

about wind direction.)

TRACKING

Move Around & Look

for Clues

As the hunter, you appear as a

dot on the map. Pressing the

DIRECTIONAL PAD lets you

move one space at a time in

any of the eight directions.

Each time you move, you might

see one or more dots next to the list of clues

under "TRACKING" on the center screen.

Clues tell you what type of deer activity is in the

area you are currently hunting.

Placing Your

Treestands

As you move around

the terrain, you want

to place treestands

in locations where

you see clues. When

you want to place a

stand, press the

ENTER button and a box will appear around

"you", the flashing dot.

After you have placed all five deer stands, the

hunt will automatically begin. If you set up less

than five treestands, press the HUNT button to

start hunting.

Watch for Deer

After you press the

HUNT button, you

will see other dots

surrounding you.

These are deer! You

will see the deer as

long as you are in a

treestand.

Use Your CALL and RATTLE

While you are in your treestand, try calling or

rattling to attract the deer. Certain

combinations of these sounds are effective in

luring deer, depending on the season. Try

experimenting to see which combinations work

best in each season.

HARVESTING A DEER

Once you have a deer close to you, it will

appear in the TARGET WINDOW. If it's a doe,

let it go. If it's a buck, get ready to release an

arrow.

Draw the Bow String

Hold the bow level while drawing the string

back. This initializes the virtual aiming

mechanism.

Wait for Your Best Shot!

Before you fire at the buck, make sure it is

facing to the side so that you can harvest it

with only one shot. If the deer is in any other

position when you shoot, you will miss the deer

and see "UNETHICAL SHOT" appear on the

screen.

Check Your Distance!

Look at the two yardage meters. The top meter

tells you how far the deer is standing from you.

The bottom meter tells you how far you can

You are about to embark on a challenging

eight-day hunt, in which you will be tracking big

bucks on five different terrains. You will earn

points for each buck you harvest— the larger

the buck, the more points it's worth.

In your quest for the top trophy buck, keep an eye

on the wind direction and try not to spook the

deer! You will discover where and when the

hunting is best, and you will learn to use weather

conditions and decoys to your best advantage.

Good luck and good hunting!

Cover

Attract

To exit demo mode, pull the bow string

during the demo.

To draw the bow, pull the string straight back, while

tipping the bow slightly forward or backward so

that both meters show matching numbers. Then

level your bow.

Finally, release the string as smoothly as

possible, remembering that the bow will move

slightly when the string is released.

SCORING

Each time you harvest a deer, you will be

awarded points according to the chart below.

The B&C (Boone & Crockett) score and the BTR

(Buckmasters Trophy Records) score indicate the

size of the buck.

Deer Size

B&C Score BTR Score

Small bucks 105-139 90-120

Medium bucks 140-179 120-159

Large bucks 180-205 160-179

NOTE: There is a Doe Penalty. If you shoot a doe,

you will lose all of your points and three days will be

subtracted from your hunt. If you have reached Day

5 when this happens, the hunt will end.

WEATHER, TIME AND TERRAIN

These important factors determine the size and

frequency of deer in certain areas. The more you

hunt, the more you will learn where and when

you can find the large bucks.

Weather conditions and time of day appear in the

INFORMATION WINDOW. The weather may be

sunny, cloudy or snowy. The time of day may be

early morning, late morning, early afternoon, late

afternoon or evening. The wind may come from

any direction.

Terrain, as seen in the MAP WINDOW, generally

includes forests (dark areas) and plains (light areas).

All of these factors affect where you will find the

large bucks. For example, it is good to know that

deer usually feed in the morning and evening hours

and might seek shelter in the afternoon, especially

when it snows. The practiced hunter will frequently

check the INFORMATION WINDOW, especially for

time of day and wind direction.

At nightfall, the hunt ends for the day. The next

morning, the deer will be in different locations, so

try to harvest a buck before nightfall on any day.

Depending on which scent strategy you chose at

the beginning of the game, the wind direction can

be critical in tracking deer. For example, if you

chose the attract scent, the wind should be at your

back or side when you enter an area occupied by

deer. If the wind is blowing in your face, the deer

will get spooked and run. Because of this, it is

always important to check wind conditions when

tracking deer.

BEWARE OF COYOTES!

You may encounter a coyote at any time during

the game. If this happens, you will hear the

coyote yell and see his image appear in the

TARGET WINDOW. The coyote will scare off any

deer in your immediate vicinity.

ENDING THE GAME

The game will automatically end when any of the

following things happen:

• You shoot five deer.

• Time runs out (eight-day hunt).

• You shoot a doe on the fifth day or later.

When the game ends, GAME OVER will flash

beside the map. Your total score will be displayed

in the INFORMATION WINDOW.

RESTARTING THE GAME

Hold the ON•NEW GAME button down for three

seconds to begin a new game.

RESETTING BOW HUNTIN’ II

You can reset your game to its original settings

by pressing the RESET button with a pointed

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may

also have other legal rights, which vary from state to state.

During this 90-day warranty period, the game will either be

repaired or replaced (at our option) without charge to the

purchaser when returned prepaid with proof of date of

purchase to: Radica USA, Ltd., 13628-A Beta Road,

shoot an arrow, based on the angle of the bow.

Adjust Your Distance!

To make the perfect shot, the yardage shown

on the two yardage meters must match, (plus

or minus two yards).

Increase your aiming distance by raising the front

of the bow. The greater the distance, the higher

you will need to raise the bow. Decrease your

aiming distance by lowering the front of the bow.

NOTE: Remember to hold the bow level with

the ground when you first draw the string

back, then adjust the distance.

Adjust Your Balance!

At the bottom of the target window, below the

deer, is a level meter. You must have the black

dot in the center square to make a successful

shot. Tilt the bow to the left or right to get the

level meter in balance.

If you have the string pulled back for an extended

amount of time, it will become more difficult to

maintain your bow level. This is a simulation of

"buck fever", where holding a regular bowstring

back for an extended amount of time makes your

arms wobble because they have become tired.

Fire!

Once you have targeted a deer, you only have

about 10 seconds to make the shot. If you

miss the deer, it will escape. If you hit the deer,

the "HIT!" message will appear on the TARGET

WINDOW. The deer's score will be shown in

the INFORMATION WINDOW. Continue your

hunt by moving to a different treestand.

TARGETING TIPS FOR BOW

HUNTIN'II

Once you see a deer in the scope, you will

need to pull the string to activate the shooting

sensors and automatically set them according

to your point of reference. NOTE: Either draw

the bow while holding it “straight up and down”

or prepare your shot by calculating the distance

to shoot by "pre-drawing" the BOW STRING.

To "pre-draw" tilt the bow forward for a long

distance and backward for a short distance.

The bow should always remain level, vertically

up & down.
