Hunting Season Feature
A Hunting Season symbol triggers the Hunt feature. The game fires 5 shots from left to right, each reel gets a target. A successful shot can turn animal symbols on that reel into Coins or Traps.
Animals show 1 to 4 Stars – the Star count decides the minimum prize level:
- 1-Star animals turn into Bronze Coins worth 0.2x to 1x.
- 2-Star animals turn into Silver Coins worth 2x to 5x.
- 3-Star animals turn into Gold Coins worth 10x to 50x.
- 4-Star animals become Traps with a minimum value equal to Gold Coins.
- Diamond Coins pay 100x to 500x.
Traps collect values from Coins and other Traps, adding the total to their own value. The collected symbols keep their values on the grid. Wilds on shot reels receive a 2x to 20x multiplier, then multiply 1 to 5 Coin or Trap symbols after collection. Sharp tool when the shots land – base game can feel flat until this feature connects.
Three Bonus Rounds
Country Strong Bonus Game: 3 Scatters trigger 10 free spins. The round keeps base game rules and increases the chance of landing Hunting Season symbols. 2 Scatters add +2 free spins, while 3 Scatters add +4 free spins.
Free Bird Bonus Game: 4 Scatters trigger 10 free spins. During this round, animal symbols gain 1 extra Star when they take part in a regular win. The upgrade can continue until the bonus ends.
Trophy Hunting Hidden Epic Bonus: 5 Scatters trigger 10 free spins. This round uses the Free Bird upgrade system and guarantees a Hunting Season symbol on every spin. This bonus cannot be bought – it must land naturally.
Feature Buy Menu
Like many Hacksaw Gaming releases, this slot has a Feature Buy menu with Bonus Bet and Bonus Buy options for players who want to skip the grind. Here are the costs:
| Feature | Cost | Effect |

| BonusHunt FeatureSpins | 3x bet | Make free spins 5 times more likely to trigger |
| Wild Hunt FeatureSpins | 50x bet | Add a Hunting Season symbol to the spin |
| Country Strong Bonus Game | 50x bet | Trigger 10 free spins directly |

Trophy Hunting cannot be bought, so the hidden epic bonus still needs to land naturally.
RTP and Math
The RTP range is the main warning sign in the math section. this slot can run at 86.25%, 92.29%, 94.33%, or 96.33%, depending on the casino version. The headline figure is 96.33%, which is solid. The lowest version at 86.25% is hard to defend – check the operator setting before real money play.
Max win of 5,000x fits the Medium volatility setup. Hit frequency sits at 38.1%, so the game should deliver regular small wins alongside longer dry spells.
Theme and Graphics
this slot takes a cartoon-like route with its hunting theme. The base game backdrop shows North American mountains, pine trees, rocky slopes, and a wooden reel frame that fits the outdoor setup without cluttering the screen. Free spins shift into a snowy version of the Rockies, giving the bonus rounds their own visual layer. The hunter has animated interactions during feature moments, so the Hunt feature gets personality beyond a simple symbol transformation. Hacksaw Gaming delivered the usual quality level here – good art, expressive symbols, and strong animation work. Sound design catches the mountain hunting mood well.
