Summary

The Hunter is a first person hunting simulator developed by Avalanche Studios (Company) released in 2009. The game's client is free to download and allows players to hunt mule deer. In order to hunt other species or acquire new weapons the game requires microtransactions.

Memberships
There are currently 2 memberships in The Hunter. Guest and Member. Guest is the free account and Member is the paid account.

As a guest you can buy any weapon in the game with the micro transaction currency of em$ and have unlimited access to it, but ammo is limited and you'll have to buy any and all ammo with em$. Another limit to being a guest is that you can only level your skills of weapon and animal specific to level 10. (The cap is raised to 20 for members.) You can also purchase limited time licenses for each animal in 1, 7 and 28 day intervals for varying amounts of em$ depending on the animal. When you purchase a license you'll gain access to all the hunting reserves that they are located in for the for the length of time that you own the license.
If you don't own the licenses for the other animals that are available to hunt you can still see them, but you won't hear any of their calls find any of their tracks, nor will they be attracted to any of your calls / lures. If you spot an animal that you don't have a license to hunt you'll get an in game message from the NPC warden "Doc" stating that you don't have the proper license / membership to hunt the animal. If you attempt to shoot the animal, your weapon will automatically lower and you'll receive the same message.
