![]() | Handgun Excellence | 15 | |
| Player must hunt 20 small game animals with any handgun in the course of completing the Career mode. | |||
When you get to the Mini game in New Zealand that involves you killing Weasels from a tripod, complete the minigame but don't leave the tripod. Click on the
Note: If you have killed small game throughout the career with a handgun, you only need to make up the difference. | |||
![]() | Crossbow Excellence | 30 | |
| 15 small game animals must be hunted with the crossbow in the course of completing the Career mode. | |||
| Once you have the handgun achievement on the weasel minigame, switch to your crossbow. Follow the same routine as "Handgun Excellence" | |||
![]() | Muzzleloader Excellence | 45 | |
| Hunt 10 small game animals with the muzzleloader in the course of completing the Career mode. | |||
Same as the crossbow/handgun but you need to equip the Muzzleloader. Its the last rifle in your list or the first rifle to the left when you open up the weapons menu by clicking
One tip is that you need to wait for the weasels to stop to shoot them. The muzzleloader is a real pain, mainly because it takes forever to reload | |||
![]() | Accuracy 50 | 10 | |
| Accuracy must be over 50% in any season. | |||
| See Accuracy 90% | |||
![]() | Accuracy 70 | 15 | |
| Accuracy must be over 70% in any season. | |||
| See Accuracy 90% | |||
![]() | Accuracy 90 | 20 | |
| Accuracy must be over 90% in any season. | |||
| For the accuracy achievements you simply need to mind your shots. The first level is a great one to go for it on, but remember that all your shots count towards the final tally. During the bird minigames, if you hit two birds with one shot, it will give you a boost in your accuracy if needed. Just remember to count your shots. If you miss more than 1 shot every ten then you might want to considering loading the last checkpoint. These achievements are stackable. | |||
![]() | Climbing the Cliff | 5 | |
| Must not lose your grip and fall from a handhold on the first climb in Montana, Fall | |||
The button combination for this
| |||
![]() | Cross the Log | 5 | |
| The Player must cross the log without falling on the first log in Montana, Fall. | |||
When the hunter is on the log trying to get to his Trophy Buck, he is going to either lean left or right. You will need to MASH the | |||
![]() | Long Shot | 15 | |
| The first animal shot at a distance between 100 and 150 yards away. | |||
The first level is one of the most open boards for this. The best thing to do is to go to the left side of the map after the tree stand sub mission. Use your scope and find an animal. In the bottom left corner (when targeted on an animal) it will tell you what the distance is. There is usually two elk, one about 100-150 away in the middle, middle right... and one in the distance, roughly 225 yeards away up on the hill. This achievement will eventually pop up whether you try for it or not, the one that you really need to focus on getting is the Extreme Long shot. Tip: Another place to get it is the duck minigames. | |||
![]() | Super Long Shot | 30 | |
| The first animal shot at a distance between 150 and 200 yards away. | |||
| See Long Shot but shot in between 150 and 200 yards | |||
![]() | Extreme Long Shot | 40 | |
| The first animal hit at a distance over 200 yards away. | |||
The 200+ yard achievement is easier to get in Africa than North America, in my opinion, quite easy to find a kudu 200-250 yards away and take it down in one shot with a good rifle. | |||
![]() | Eagle Eye Shot | 50 | |
| The first animal shot at a distance over 75 yards away. Player must not shoot from Scope mode. | |||
| This has to be done without a scope. In all honesty, you should get this at the first duck mini game on the other side of the river (the second part of the first level). Just make sure your shotgun isnt scoped and take out a duck in the distance. | |||
![]() | Complete All Hunts | 120 | |
| Complete every single hunt in Career mode (required and optional). | |||
Thanks to Vonreid for the complete list of objectives:
Lvl (1.) Montana *Fall* Lvl (2.) British Columbia *Fall*
lvl (3) Montana Winter Lvl (8.) New Zealand *Fall* | |||
![]() | No-Scope Excellence | 20 | |
| Player must hunt all objective animals while never shooting from Scope Mode in any single season. | |||
Later on in the career, and I believe its Argentina, the guide will tell you that you can only use a crossbow. Finish all missions with the crossbow and the achievement is yours.
| |||
![]() | Ecological Friendly | 20 | |
| Complete an entire season without shooting any animals outside of an objective. | |||
| This can be done on any level, and no level is better than any others. You really just need to pay attention to your objectives. Only shoot animals that you have tags for, and remember what the Trophy Buck looks like...usually its not hard to spot him, but if you are on the Trophy Buck mission and hit a non trophy this will count against this achievement. Just mind your tags and you will be fine. I recommend the first, but as I said, it can be done anywhere. | |||
![]() | Dodge Master | 10 | |
| The player must dodge 10 attacks at any time during any of the Rival Animal Hunts. | |||
When facing the couger just dodge it 10 times before killing it. You will need to reload the checkpoint to get the cougar rival achievement. I would focus first, on just dodging until you get the achievement, then click Start-> Load Last Checkpoint.
Dodging Tips: When facing any rival, you will need to dodge to stay alive. | |||
![]() | Elk Trophy Legend | 20 | |
| Shoot and kill this Trophy Legend animal in only one shot. | |||
This one is a little different than the rest. You only get a few seconds to finish this guy off, and he is fighting another elk at the same time. Once you climb the rock follow the path and go until the cut scene. You will see it in the distance fighting another elk. Take position and zoom in. I suggest waiting a second or too until it turns broadside to you. Aim for the head/neck/upper chest and fire away.
TIP: If the elk or any other Trophy animal does not fall after the first shot, DO NOT FIRE AGAIN. The majority of these trophies will fall in one shot, but they wont fall for a good 3-4 seconds. Taking another shot is a horrible idea, wait a couple seconds to see if it falls, if it doesnt, click start and reload the last checkpoint. | |||
![]() | Mule Deer Trophy Legend | 35 | |
| Shoot and kill this Trophy Legend animal in only one shot. | |||
This one is a little different than the rest. You only get a few seconds to finish this guy off, and he is fighting another deer at the same time. Once you climb the rock follow the path and go until the cut scene. You will see it in the distance fighting another deer. Take position and zoom in. I suggest waiting a second or too until it turns broadside to you. Aim for the head/neck/upper chest and fire away. If you miss or hit the wrong deer you will have to try again. This deer will run into the woods and you will have to restart the trophy hunt TIP: If the elk or any other Trophy animal does not fall after the first shot, DO NOT FIRE AGAIN. The majority of these trophies will fall in one shot, but they wont fall for a good 3-4 seconds. Taking another shot is a horrible idea, wait a couple seconds to see if it falls, if it doesnt, click start and reload the last checkpoint | |||

Alternative Tip that is very helpful: When you first arrive at the baiting area, immediately head to the left wall where there is a cave entrance at ground level. It is to the left of the cave exit, which is higher up and much more visible. You will get a prompt to press | |||
