Dudee this reminded me of a similar ps2 video game, hunting style, it was amazing and a marvel to me, Cabela's deer hunt. I remember that you had to keep an eye on the hunter's hydration and food, you could use decoys, you had a tent that you used when the night came, you could choose your clothes, your weapons, you could choose your region and season.
You could choose the region and the season, and of course you would see the deer run or run away when they smelled you or you missed the shot, my god in some occasions I remember that the male deer would hit me and that was the end of the game.

Aaah this took me back to my childhood in 5sg literally, well although in the one I mention we didn't hunt crocodiles, but that gameplay is the same.
