If you’ve mastered all there is to offer in Layton Lake District, the best place to go to further push yourself are the latter two on that list. Once you feel you’ve managed to get the hang of utilising the various lures, have mastered how to walk silently amongst the brushes, figured out which set of tracks you should be following when hunting that elusive target, and have finally bagged yourself some respectable trophies, it’s time to venture out into the more challenging environments that make up the rest of the game.īesides Layton Lake District, players can also jump in with Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve, Medved-Taiga National Park and Vurhonga Savanna. Later on, things such as fur type, the animals weight and other things can be found out too, but before you get into that stuff you’ll need to spend many hours mastering the basics. Of course if you’ve already seen the animal, have taken a shot and find yourself in pursuit, you may well also find blood trails to indicate the route the animal is now taking.

Tracks can vary in quality too with footprints often showing the direction an animal was headed whilst droppings will indicate roughly how long ago the animal was there. Each track can be examined and dependent on the perks you’ve unlocked along the way by levelling up, will depend on just how much information you are given with each examination. And while finding the tracks of these animals is one thing, finding the actual animal is much harder. In the Layton Lake District this could be anything from a Whitetail Jackrabbit to a Blacktail Deer, or even a Black Bear, amongst many other possible animals. As you travel through each of the environments, you’ll come across various animal tracks. You need to work for your kills, and it all starts by tracking your first animal. Hunting isn’t as simple as picking up your rifle, scouring the land and shooting the first animal you come across however. That’s a good thing as it allows you to focus on the task at hand, hunting. It’s not a massively exciting story adventure, despite being surprisingly lengthy, but it doesn’t need to be as it only functions to add a little more depth to what is already an incredibly deep simulation style experience.

It really does let you understand what it feels like to be a true ranger. Layton Lake District is a beautiful and exceptionally large map containing wooded areas, lakes, ponds, fields, rocky mountains and grasslands the idea is to follow the various story arcs given and learn how to hunt different animals with a variety of techniques. When starting things off, players begin by stepping into the vast lands of the Layton Lake District, one of four available maps found within.
