The Hunt & Live Virtual World.

A whole valley you can walk into. Two log cabins, an outfitter camp under canvas, a lake and a mountain with cougars on it — named country that tells you where you are, what to hunt there and how dangerous it is. Take the crossing from a camo blind, call coyotes, paddle the lake, split wood, shoot the range, walk the Long Draw up between the ridges. Every numbered item is a real product from our review bench, placed where it would live — pick it up and actually use it.

Hit Walk around and move with W A S D — the walls are solid, so click the front door to step inside. Once you're in, sit in the rocking chair and watch the fire, lie on the bunk and stare at the rafters, or pick up the Riton on the windowsill and glass the tree line. There's a porch chair for sitting out a rain shower too — the weather rolls through every few minutes. And deep in the forest out back, a camo blind overlooks a cut in the timber — click it to get behind the .223 on the tripod. A buck works the far crossing. Wait for your moment.

Bonus · The 25-yard PCP range

An airgun lane east of the porch — bench, sandbag, paper target, and three steel spinners hanging to the right. Click the air rifle on the bench to shoulder it, move to aim, click to shoot, and swing right to ring the steel. Only the marked vital zones count as a hit, and rain wind pushes your hold. Use the arrows behind the glass to swap between all six of our free printable target designs, hang a fresh sheet any time — then print the real PDFs and shoot them for real.

The country

Know where you are before you go there.

Step into any of these and the world tells you its name, what to hunt there and how dangerous it is out of ten. The map is drawn from the same coordinates the world is built on — the cabins, the lake, the trail and the shooting lane are all where they actually stand.

Dashed rings are the named places, coloured by danger. Contours are the high country, the dotted line is the trail from the home place out to the line camp, and the pale band running north-east is the shooting lane from the blind to the deer crossing.

The Home Place
1/10
The fire is lit and the kennel is round the west side — click it to pick which dog comes out with you. Rifles are in the locker on the porch.
The Garden
1/10
Water it from the hand pump and pick what’s ripe. Ravens will rob the rows if you let them.
The Wood Lot
1/10
Rounds by the block, axe on the stump. Rabbits work the edge of this timber at first light.
The PCP Range
1/10
Paper at the far end, steel behind it. A good place to learn where your shots go before it matters.
The Lake
2/10
Trout rise in the flat water and a pair of mallards work the far side. The kayak is on the shore — the beach is walkable, the water is not.
The Deer Crossing
4/10
A buck walks this cut morning and evening. Shoot him from the blind, not from here — out in the open he will wind you long before you are ready.
The Coyote Cut
5/10
Rolling ground and long sight lines. Work the caller from the stand and let them come to you.
Bear Hollow
8/10
The grizzly keeps this stretch of timber between the lake and the deer woods. He charges from sixteen feet and runs almost as fast as you sprint. Do not let him get close.
The Long Draw
2/10
A valley that closes in on itself as it climbs toward the range. The outfitter camp is pitched off the trail two thirds of the way up — canvas, a stove, and a small dog called Daniel who lives there.
The Line Camp
3/10
Fire laid, bunk in the loft, second locker on the porch. Worth reloading here before you start up the ridge.
Wolf Draw
7/10
The pack dens in this timber and works the draw around it. Five of them, and they hunt together — they will not come to the cabin, but come in here and they will all know it.
Camp Ridge
3/10
The wedge the line camp backs onto. The trail off the cabin’s north gable is one long easy pull to the top, and from up there you can see the whole property. The cats used to den here — they don’t any more.
Cougar Mountain
9/10
A second wedge, the same size as Camp Ridge, standing on its own down the range to the south-east. Three cats live on it and they hunt alone. One will flatten out and stalk you from fifty feet, then cover the last stretch faster than you can run — but only for a few seconds. Keep moving and break the rush. The .357 is quicker to bring up than the rifle.
