Cabela's Big Game Hunter III is the second sequel to the original Cabela's Big Game Hunter. It was released in 1999 by HeadGames Publishing.

Gameplay

Cabela’s Big Game Hunter III is a hunting simulation set in four U.S. regions where players track animals across large 3D environments or use one of more than 60 stands. Wildlife includes multiple deer species, bear, caribou, elk, moose, sheep, and various protected or non‑game animals. The game offers Quick Hunt for immediate play or a Complete Hunt mode requiring players to fill regional tags within a five‑day limit. Preparation involves buying gear, obtaining tags, sighting weapons, and managing inventory. During hunts, spotting an animal triggers a live‑action aiming view; successful hits return the player to tracking, while wounded animals must be followed. Weather varies by region, and a Game Warden enforces hunting rules. Quick Hunt ends with earning a trophy, while Complete Hunt concludes when all tags are filled or time expires.[2]
