Cabela's Alaskan Adventures

The game features twelve different maps, including different regions in Alaska and the Arctic, where players may track or lure animals to complete goals. Numerous animals are available to hunt – bears such as the grizzly bear, black bear, glacier bear and polar bear appear from the tutorial onwards. Other hostile animals include coyotes, wolverines, Canada lynx, Arctic wolves, grey wolves, musk oxen, and bison. Roosevelt elk, Yukon moose and mountain goats are available to hunt, as well as Dall sheep, stone sheep, barren-ground caribou, and Sitka deer. Birds include Canada geese, harlequin ducks, spruce grouse, and ptarmigans. Small mammals include red foxes, Arctic foxes, and snowshoe hares. Players may also practice fishing, either with fishing rods or in the form of ice fishing with tip-ups. Money from successful hunts can be used to purchase better equipment including firearms and camping equipment. The game includes fines, which subtract money from the player if certain hunting laws are breached, such as firing a weapon too close to an occupied building.
