Many memories of playing this game on my grandpas computer when I was a kid. I remember I would get my gun sighted in and somehow I would always miss the animals. Every great once in a while I would get lucky and somehow get something and my grandpa would let me print out the trophy.
I played this game quite a bit with my siblings and let me tell you, I ended up in jail often for shooting animals that I didn't have tags for. That seemed to be about the only time I could actually hit anything. Still love it.
My God man the memories came rushing back! 11 years old at the time and couldn't get enough! I remember we thought there was no way gaming could ever get any better! Thanks for the video!!!
I used to play this game ALL the time on my mom's old computer!!! Wish they remastered it where you could still play it on the newer computers these days!!! So many memories!!!
Loved this game as kid. We had Big Game Hunter 2 Open Season as well. Which was an expansion pack for this one. We didn’t realize that, so the excitement was short lived when we tried to install.
I haven't played this game since it was new. For some reason it jumped back into my head tonight, and yes, my fondest memory is also not being able to kill a dang thing. My Dad had it figured out though.
just spend over an hour searching on google for this game.... holy fuck, the waterfall of memories playing this around 6yr old on my dads PC, brings a fucking tear to the eye
Man this game brings back memories from my childhood. Funny story though, when I was playing this game, I was only about 8-9 years old and I had no idea you had to sight in your gun, so every time I shot at animal, I'd miss and I'd get SO damn mad. Yearrrrs later I figured it out. I still never actually killed an animal 🥺😂
3:20 Wish I had a dollar for every time I got a good hit like that only to have the guide tell me that it got away. You could sometimes get a second shot, but it was rare. Bears and mountain goats were the hardest things to kill, especially the goats. I was proud of myself when I finally killed a goat.
@@FPS.Games.Archiv Hey im installing windows xp tonight on my virtual machine when i get home from work, will my dvd/cd rom tray read from the windows xp in the virtualbox? i tried poping in an old windows 98 game through windows 98 in virtual box and it wouldnt detect my dvd drive
I myself use VmWare as a virtual machine. The drive is recognised there in any case. I have never really used Virtual Box much. But I think it should be possible to access the CD drive.
Yeah I just installed virtual machine and I found out that Windows XP as long as it has the most updated version of DirectX within the files will recognize the disc drive in the computer and I've already played that game hunter that I had come in the mail and I have a handful of other games I wasn't able to get going on. Spock's and compatibility with Windows 10! Thank you for exposing Windows XP through virtual machine to me it is made playing my older games of breeze now. Plus I get all the old cool Windows games that came with 95,98 Me,Vista. Like solitaire, hearts, FreeCell minesweeper lol. My wife got done playing with the paint program she said she hasn't opened since eighth grade last night 🤣
This is a wonderful comment, as I love to read them. I am happy with you that you have so much fun with this old system and the games. I wish you many more hours of fun with it!!!!
Hello Waylon Parsons, you are welcome to ask. My main system is a Win7 64bit, but 99% of those old games do not work. That's why I use some emulators with different operating systems (XP, 2000, 98). Of these emulators in turn works mostly "VMware player" with XP. There are, however, some stubborn games that I spend a full day with, to make them somehow run.
Hey man! Are there any particular resources you used to get PCem set up for Win98/XP games? Thank you so much in advance! VirtualMachine is a binch when it comes to 3D graphics. Are there also any particular obscure/old hunting game rips that you're looking for? I have a small collection of disks on-hand I grew up with. One game by Field & Stream + Sierra Sports has never been archived online. Love all the effort you put into this channel!
Hey "The Amazing Vidya Dog", so right now I'm using "VMware Workstation Player", "Oracle VM VirtualBox", PCem, Dosbox (sometimes with a Windows too), if I can help you with one of them, I'd like to do that. I think your offer is very nice and I am very happy. I've been collecting games myself for over 20 and 25 years, and many of my friends are doing the same. Every now and then a game is missing. "Field & Stream - Trophy Buck 1998" was one of those, but I was able to get a game on Ebay. But I keep your offer in mind. Thanks for that and a big thank you for your praise. I am always so happy when there are people who like this archive is created ... *many thanks* !!!!! 😉✌
Man, I remember me & my Dad playing this game alot as a kid & it took SO long for someone to post a video of the game on UA-cam. There is alot more to this game that meets the eye, Like you can get arrest for killing an endangered species. & the "Humans" in this game dont even look like humans. Looking back at it now I lmao at how they look...18 mins of this game is good but I feel like there should be a longplay of this game for many things to happen in this game.
Hello Aeavymetal666. You are absolutely right that there is much more to see and do in this game. Unfortunately, in only 18 minutes you can only see a fraction of this game. If I could, I'd like to fulfill your wish for a longplay. Unfortunately, I can not do it at the moment. Actually, there should always be a walk-through to games on this channel, but the Quicklook videos take a lot of time...
@@FPS.Games.Archiv Well I appreciate the comment back...Im sure at some point someone might make a longplay of this. If you do have time you could, but it was just a thought. Thx
surely someone will sooner or later make a longplay. Maybe if I put it in time, I'll put your thoughts into practice. Anyway, I hope that there will soon be a longplay for this game. Thank you for looking 😉✌

I used to play this with my grandpa all the time as well. Just passed away last year unfortunately
Who else remembers every aspect of this game, even though you haven’t played in 20 years?
same
There was always a buck behind a tree that I could never kill lol
This game brings back so many memories.
So much nostalgia!! One thing I always loved about the old school Cabelas games was that they incorporated real video clips of animals.
I played this game quite a bit with my siblings and let me tell you, I ended up in jail often for shooting animals that I didn't have tags for. That seemed to be about the only time I could actually hit anything. Still love it.
I love how the sound randomly cuts in. Absolute art.
My God man the memories came rushing back! 11 years old at the time and couldn't get enough! I remember we thought there was no way gaming could ever get any better! Thanks for the video!!!

Okkkk.
I remember staying up all nite playing this game when I was a kid.
Back when hunting games were more technically realistic while lacking modern graphics. I wish they would make stuff more realistic like this nowadays.
The nostalgia is real thinking about all the times I played this with my dad as a kid. Time flies
Aw man was so excited when i found this video. But you didnt even sight the rifle in..
Loved this game as kid. We had Big Game Hunter 2 Open Season as well. Which was an expansion pack for this one. We didn’t realize that, so the excitement was short lived when we tried to install.
At least I wasn't the only one that found it impossible to kill most of the animals. Sheesh

I remember playing this on the old windows computer as a kid. My dad probably played it more than I did lol.
The beginning of Cabela’s video games...
I was always convinced it was random if you got the kill.
Same here, had to be man. You could sight the gun in perfectly and still miss shooting dead center
I used to hit all the time! It was very specific about hitting them in the shoulder/heart or in the lower neck.
You had to use the biggest caliber. It was always a kill with a .338

Man I used to love this game for real lol. Man oh man the memories
I can't find anyone else playing these games! I had 1, 2, 3, and I think a 2004 season BGH game. They were addicting!
How did you get this old of a game so recently? What site did you get it from, I feel so nostalgic watching this I want to play it again lol
This used to be one of my favorite games growing up, this game, & AOE
wow i used to play this game thanks for good memories
Super nostalgia overload.
I played this game for hours at a time looking back now I want to get a new pc and start that journey all over agin
The reason why you sucked so bad is when you go to the target range you are supposed to adjust the gun so it shoots straight lol
xD yes you are right! I did not really notice that with the sight adjustment. So thanks for the hint ... oh man 😂
Hi oookk.

Hello, I just got this game off of eBay and I'm looking to play it on my windows 10 how were you able to get it to work?
Hello Gordon Bihl , it will not run directly under Windows 10. I used a virtual machine with Windows XP

I finally figured out that 338 and headshots solved your “it ran away” problems
How did you find away to play this game?
Hi, i use virtual machines as well as an original XP/98 computer
@@FPS.Games.Archiv Thank you for the answer
Could you do all the game animals. And locations as a part 2 ?
How do get that game
You should do separate vids of Dakota, Bitterroot, and Yukon hunts.
the nostalgia
If i may ask what are you playing these old games on

loved this game as a kid and this isnt some nonsense bs hunting game u see nowadays u need a clean shot
Great memories with my brother and Windows 98 lol. Learned quickly to shoot animals in the face!
Who was the guy on here that would say lets go shoot a monster buck?
If I shot a bear in the lung and the guide said “let’s let him go” I’d shoot the guide
BGbarbecue was my favorite cheat lol
PS this seems to be the only video of this game on UA-cam. If you could sight the gun in and kill a few things it would make me very happy!

Well that's partly true. I know huntin' like nobody. Tom's just a chatterbox
Whoever made this game clearly didn't know that the brown bear and grizzly bear (in North America, at least) are one in the same.
Coastal ones are called brown bears and interior ones are called grizzlies. The coastal bears are bigger
I want that game
I never had any issues getting kills in this game. Sight in the weapon then shoot behind the shoulder blade where the vitals are
Oh wow,i remeber hunting a turkey with a high powered rifle 😁🤣
I remember the jail cell when I shot the wrong animal 😂
Who here in 2024?
Dude… sight in your rifle
