To play BowHunter2015 you need to try the tutorial in the game. Read each of the highlighted text boxes, press the control the tutorial points for you to press, and complete the tutorial.
You can replay the tutorial over and over again from the main title screen in the game where you see the two hunters and the START button. The main controls are the left and right joysticks. The Left joystick allows the player to move forward and back and left and right along the terrain. It is a walking/stalking pace.
The Right Joystick allows the player to turn left or right and to raise or lower the view and the aim when in the raised bow position. There is a speed button to the bottom left of the right joystick that allows the player to turn around faster by pressing the button for 2X and 4x times normal rotation speed. This faster rotation automatically reverts to 1X in 5 seconds if the player does not turn the faster rotation off before by click the rotation speed button again.
You do NOT move the view or the hunter by sliding your figure along the main screen. YOU MUST USE THE LEFT AND RIGHT JOYSTICKS FOR AIM AND PLAYER MOVEMENT! The objective of each hunt is in the Hunt Screen that shows what the player must do to complete the Hunt. While you may get a kill in a hunt, that may not have been the objective of the hunt.
Some objectives are:
Kill one deer for Venison
Kill one deer for a Trophy mount. (Do not hit the Head or Neck or hunt not complete even with a kil).
Kill one 6+ point Buck. (There are different point bucks and doe in most hunts. You must find the right buck to kill to complete this hunt.)
Kill one deer with a Heart shot. (If you kill a deer with multiple arrows, not in the hunt objective, you do not complete this hunt.
Kill two deer. (One does not complete the hunt.)
You will get a message at the end of the hunt telling you if you completed the hunt or not and you will be able to see if you accomplished the hunt objectives or not.
On this Summary Screen you will also see what OBucks (in game currency to buy more equipment) you earned, what XP (experience points), you earned, and what additional XP you need to gain the next hunt level badge. (These badges are like rank in a military organization.)
The Basic controls in the BowHunter2015 game outside of the Left and Right Joysticks are:
Left side of the Hunt Screen.
On the left of the Hunt Screen above the Left Joystick is the Draw icon. Press this to raise or lower you bow to the firing position.
To the right of the Draw Icon is the shoot icon that only shows when the Bow is raised into the shooting position. Press this icon to release your arrow. This icon also has a number on it that shows how many arrows you have in your quiver.
Above the Draw Icon is the wind indicator with speed. You need to take into account wind speed and direction to get a good shot.
Above the Draw icon is the mini map. It is not precise but gives general indication of the direction to deer. When the arrow heads show on the map, that indicates a deer in that direction but outside of 200 yards, the radius of the mini map screen. A round red dot for deer position shows when the deer is within 200 yards.
Right side of the screen above the Aim Joystick.
Thermal- Allows you to see the heart and lungs for a shot requiring a heart or lung shot.
Infrared – used in a dusk or dawn hunt with low sunlight to lighten entire scene.
Range Finder – when you see the icon for a deer on the mini map, you can click on the Range Finder, and zoom in on the area you expect to see a white tail deer in.
The better the range finder the better the accuracy of the range.
Accurate Range will allow you to be a better shoot with each bow and arrow combination.
Pause/Skip Hunt – you can pause play or if you are frustrated that you cannot complete this hunt you can press SKIPE this Hunt button and go back to the Hunt page as if you completed the hunt.

Using Salt and Corn, by clicking on the icons, can sometimes make the deer come closer to the TreeStand. They are not available in a Stalking Hunt.
You may be given the opportunity to buy more Salt or Corn if you press on the icon and have none in inventory.
One the Hunt Screen there also will be options to buying more Arrows, more Hunt time, more Salt, More Corn, more Batteries for your Range Finder or Infrared devices, (used in dusk or dawn hunts in low sunlight).
You can buy these items by using your OBucks or Gold. Prices are shown on the purchase screen.

It is up to you to decide what is best for you.

You can also change the look of your hunter in facial features or camouflage clothing. The better the camo the closer you can come to the deer without spooking the deer.
