Hello Hunters!

It’s that time of the week again, time for us to tell you about the goings-on with Hunter Classic for the past week!

Let’s begin with this week’s new content:

It’s Cool to Call, Ducks!

This week’s new additions to the game are all about ducks, getting more of them, and more conveniently.

First up we have the new Duck Comeback Caller.  

Are some ducks playing hard to get and simply refusing to come and hang-out with your carefully place decoy spread?  This caller is just what you need to tempt the more stubborn ducks out of their flock, and into your gunsights.  Best used in conjunction with the Mallard Long Range Caller, the effect also stacks with deployed decoys.

That covers the “getting more” part of our duck addition, next up, “more conveniently”.  We bring you, the Duck Caller Lanyard.

This quality-of-life item will conveniently put all of your favourite duck callers at your disposal via just one key-binding.  With no need to assign individual callers to inventory slots this item unlocks a new hotkey function which brings up a menu wheel to speedily select any duck caller held in your bags.  Handy!

You can see both of these new additions in action courtesy of “HooCairs” here:

Game Update

As well as the above goodies there were of course the usual updates and improvements to the game.  The ability for guest players to trigger e-callers on and off in multiplayer was a much requested fix, also bears are looking a little less “far out”. 😉

Hunting Antlers?  Make it Snappy!

At the time of writing this we have just over a day to go until the judging begins!  We’ve seen some excellent entries so far, from the beautiful, to the technical, to the just slightly crazy. 😉  Please do get those last entries in soon to avoid disappointment!

To give you a taster of some of the competition, here’s an entry from forum user “kevin2106”

Ducky Deals, and Free Birds.

To mark the launch of this week’s duck goodies we’ve added a new permanent Duck Caller Bundle.  Additionally, ducks have been added to the free rotation, there’s no better time to get out there and get some trophy birds! Also, please do pop by our store tomorrow, there might be some more duck related pleasant surprises for you there.

On the topic of birds…subject to request from the forum, the Turkey Decoy Full Spread Bundle is available once more.

Fall is here…

…and with it, the mark of the beginning of a new hunting season for a lot of countries.

Do you like to hunt in real life as well?  If so come join in the discussion here.

Our CEO Pim actually recently came back with some partridge as a sign of a day well spent!
