What happened?

This was such a good game. I enjoyed plAying and got fairly good when last week or two something happen. the scope goes a little crazy and pulls away early or just aims wrong or shoots where you're not aimed...so that problem got a little better. I noticed, on my birthday you had a ground hog tournament so i finally broke down and added some money. i played the first game and shot 5 bucks yet the scoreboard showed I lost. my entry fee was gone and suddenly every time I go into the game, It says I am offline when anyone can see I am not, except when trying to open and play Big Buck..i can't even get in to verify if my money is still on my acct. Please fix this. Thank you...

Disgrace to the Big Buck Hunter Name

I have always loved big buck hunter. Thats where I always spend my time and change wherever they have one set up. This is trash. You can only play 1 site 1on1, no trecks, no picking where you go, nothing. Even if you pay, you can do matches 1on1 or in brackets but its still just one site at a time at random. If your thinking “at least thats fair to both players” you would be wrong. Your opponent isn't chosen before the match, it looks like they are with a randomizer but after the match it can be different or worse say its atill finding you a match after you have finished. It just matches you later with people who scored higher and keeps your money because whatever bonus cash or deals you get or earn cant be cashed out. So once your down to bonus cash you win and take someone else’s money. Don’t waste your time. Go back to the arcade and play if you want actual buck hunter. I wont even be doing that anymore. Last of my money that will go to Big Buck Hunter in any form.

Strange

The game is cool but I’m thrown off by a lot of it. I have a hard time believing I’m playing real people most of the time. I will play matches and do pretty well (well at least I think I do) but then my opponents will absolutely put me to shame. The thing is, I know some of the scores they get are unobtainable with the amount of animals in the given level. I’ll play multiple matches like this with the same opponent, but every 3-5 matches I will beat them and they will have an abnormally low score. I could be wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised if this game is mostly controlled by AI to gain profits. This is no accusation by any means, and could just be a sore loser, but as someone who’s worked using AI before this is exactly how someone could use it to make a scam work with none the wiser. Either way, I hope I’m wrong because I like it for the most part.

Bonus for all , bring back elk and larger steaks shootouts

Could give a bonus for all elk and buck shot like 100 pts even though it wasn’t all on marksmanship, say you get 3 for marksmanship that’s 250 and ya get rest even by two shots a piece add 100 more that would give 350? I’ve yet to be able to hunt gemsbok in fact they the developers have not updated me my elk hunts have been taken away and all large practices have been taken, meaning all I’ve got left is just 2 winnings of 1 entry fee no more left almost not worth playing unless it’s just me🤷🏼‍♂️ bring back original I don’t want to uninstall and reinstall to see if it’s me and then I lose all winnings and name

Amazing game, but one flaw

This game is amazing and you can win AN ENTIRE TRUCK but it takes a really really long time to do that but that makes sense. Anyways, this game is really good, fun, and you can win money. But there is one problem. It’s really hard to win money because not enough people join the tournaments and they just give you your money back and the whole thing is over. Either way, if your just looking for fun, I would definitely recommend but if your just trying to win money than go play PokerStars. Anyways, if you do end up downloading this, please tell other people about it because I can’t win any money 😭

The best arcade style hunting

I love the game. Sometimes the accuracy in my shots is inconsistent but I contribute that to the game being new and I trust that it will be fixed as it progresses. As a guy who has always believed in the patience of hunting I didn’t think I’d like this game but it’s actually a lot of fun and a great way to just pass some time. I wish there was a little more variety in rack shape but being an arcade style shooter I understand how that would be difficult. I would appreciate some other species to hunt though such as elk or maybe even pronghorn. The whitetail look great though. Probably the best looking game graphics wise in the AppStore.

The best games last game I played

I thoroughly enjoy the majority of the games at Skillz pets out, by myself playing right now about 10 different games therefore I’m never running out of things to do and I don’t get tired of playing this one game or get tired of getting beat multiple times. Hope they continue to put out new updates that make it more challenging for some of us however the only negative thing I have is that a new players do not have the option of cashing out for Cash when they accumulate enough tickets so that they can continue to play.

This is an active game for the hunter . I win some and loose some but it’s a fun game if you like hunting . I don’t try to win just try to shoot to kill the first shot and that gives me the 1000 points for marksmanship. I enjoy the games when the buck is far or near as log as he is in the open . I don’t think that bucks stay behind the doe all the time . They usually chase the doe and don’t run beside them all the time .i am glad you brought back the 3z games . I can afo

Feel like it could be better then it is.

When playing a tournament and if people quit they are supposed to just pay you back and call miss play. But as soon as I excepte any start it’s on me not everyone else now if person looses connection and then can’t get back in don’t blame them because it’s happened to me someone calls and then you are on a different screen and ant get back to game even though it should only pause so you can return it is a system needing work but the best part is you play games you like not roulette or cards lol anything is possible

Literally just takes your money

I can play practice rounds which give you 2 z coins or whatever and get 10k-14k point games. Okay the exact same way, hit all perfect shots in a tournament and get 6k points while the player I’m against gets 10k+ points. Then sometimes vice versa. It’s all rigged for them to keep your money. They have bots. The mods are a bunch of liberal crybabies who don’t let you say anything in chat. Can’t general topic discuss the game even without getting muted. Can’t give tips, anything. They’re literal crybabies. Lot of Karen’s in the game also, who think they personally know you even though they don’t even know your name. Skillz games in general are garbage and I recommend staying away from them. They need to be shut down.

Cheats

I had played a few games for about a 1 and some change and then I got off came back later and they took the games off my matches and didn’t issue a refund for the games when I asked customer support they just kept asking for a match Id witch I told them repeatedly I didn’t have they removed the full match from my matches completed. Then after I told them I would leave a bad review for it they refunded my game that “they couldn’t find” funny they knew the price of the match I had played even tho they said there isn’t any records of it. Now when I play It will bounce my scope away from where I’m aiming and won’t let me play correctly becarefull im gald I only wasted a few $ on this

Fun but not perfect.

The game is a fun way to kill a few minutes. Playing for money makes it more interesting. There are a few bugs that occasionally occur. The most annoying one happens when you go to take a shot and the scope doesn’t zoom. Another big thing for me is that if you barely tough the screen a shot will fire and ruin a streak. Other than those things, I’d recommend this game for anyone. I’m not a deer hunter or much of a gamer. The catch is lining up and letting go at just the right instance to get that perfect shot.

Earns five stars for consistency

The game has its bugs and after a while you can almost begin to predict the glitches before they happen lol but the thing is that the glitches are never something huge. This game has just been the same thing for so many years that it’s simply respectable, any time I’ve talked to support for anything they’ve been super friendly and gone above and beyond. I have played this game for a long time and will continue to do so.

The Best Hunting Shooting Game!

I haven’t had Soooo much fun shooting since I found this game I like and love it I want more of it I really wish it was to show the injury it causes when u hit the deers when u don’t hit the right spot on the deer BLOOD sorry but that would really be awesome and outstanding BUT overall I haven’t seen any other hunting shooting game better! If so please make the BLOOD showing available ThankU for giving me the opportunity to give my feedback!!!! 👍🏾

Constant problems

At first I enjoyed this game but it has turned into a racket of game crashes. I understand it is possible to crash your own game if you’re not happy with the way your shooting but all of the games that have crashed for me never gave me a chance to even begin the match. I’ve reached out to support with each crashed match and they refunded something like 2 a month and gave some generic reason but there’s a playback feature for each match and it’s black and white weather the game was crashed on purpose or not. Getting fed up with losing money because they don’t fix the game issues and refuse to review the playback to determine if refunds of entry fees are justified.

Horrible game

Started to playing and it was good at first but once I made an account that’s when everything started messing up. My shots where hitting the deer but telling me I missed, the scope wouldn’t zoom in on the last 2 deer, I played a friend in a match up standing right next to each other and we both had different sites in the same match, when I did hit the perfect shot I would tell me I was only hitting the out part and I notified the company about these issues they sent back we will get back to you as soon as possible. The worst problem of all was the games I played were with the free tokens. Glad I didn’t put any real money on the account.

Great Game & Concept Need To Fix The Bugs

I’m addicted. Loved the arcade game but im older now and don’t go to bars to drink. Now I can play at home on my phone!!! There’s some bugs that make this a 4 star rating instead of 5. Once they get those worked out and you don’t get kicked out right as the match is going to begin or the scope messes up and won’t zoom in. Those will cost you the match sometimes and are outside your control. Get the bugs fixed and this will be my favorite app. For now its my 2nd favorite behind Pokémon Go.

Arcade style shooting, real cash and prizes

I was a little skeptical at first, but I thought I would give it a shot. I was just gonna do five dollars and see what happens and I actually end up winning pretty good so you’re not gonna get rich off of this but if you’re gonna play a video game on your phone anyway you might as well get paid something for it right. Recommend graphics gameplay.

SCAM!!!!!!!

The game is basically a scam. It doesn’t match you with a player right away. It lets you play and then matches you with someone who scored higher in order to take your money. And if you have bonus cash you can’t withdraw it. Also if you decide to withdraw it forfeits all of your bonus cash. Along with all of this the support team refuses to acknowledge obvious bugs in the game such as crashes in the middle of a game causing you to automatically forfeit and lose your entry fee, they also will refund your money but only once. Anything after that and they basically say “you’re screwed” in a nicely worded email. Save your money, don’t get scammed.

Worse game ever!!!!

First off there should be no reason why a mobile game should have moderators. Secondly, the game has so many inaccuracies to it that after every shot that seems to be a perfect shot really isn’t perfect at all. You can lead all you want on a deer from distance and still end up having to take a second shot or the doe gets hit. For a game where it’s paid to win has so many flaws to it and I quit because I was tired of losing over petty crap or having to wait on a player to make it to the next and they have a 24 hr period to complete that next round or get kicked; we’ll how about make it a 4 hr window to finish the round then kick them.

Inconsistent and always PVP

This game has too many inconsistencies that ruin the enjoyment. The doe have different speed up times than the buck, the bullet paths aren't always where you shoot, the point system for what they consider a kill shot is absolutely garbage, and the lead times on the same stands are never the same. Also, why do all these games think everyone wants PVP alllll the time. It turns i to a cash grab eventually just begging for you to load cash onto the game to use their terrible mechanics to play against others for cash tournaments. I only recommend this game for you first 5-6 levels, then delete it for your enjoyment. Or frustration.

Big Buck Hunter Pro

The game itself isn’t bad. Pretty good arcade style with decent looking deer. Shouldn’t really be advertised as a free app though. As you go, matchups become harder and harder to win, to the point you can’t make up tokens without paying money. Recorded multiple perfect marksman rounds and wound up losing them somehow. Not sure how as the level couldn’t have been completed any better. Also had matchups that I wasn’t paired up with anyone, which wound up being counted as a loss. Was just looking for a fun quick game to pass a couple minutes of down time. Not as good as I hoped

Win real cash

This game is very fun and there are some cool people on here! It’s a new game so there are still some issues every now and then but support always helps with any issues quickly! I started with $2 a few months ago and already cashed out $1675 and still have $750 in my account and enough tickets to buy another $500 in bonus cash! I would recommend this game to to anyone!

Good game.

Its a solid game, it takes no more then 3 minutes to complete a game, the game will actually give you I think its around 3$ to Compete in the irl money events, the practice is fun and a nice time killer there are ads but not like alot of the mobile games out there. There mainly after a match and it matches the game and company and it takes 2 seconds to click out of it. Good job devs keep up the good work.

Big buck hunting

I find it competitive and at the same time relaxing and enjoying. The hint without the down part of a actual hunt .. I have a real fun time waiting and figuring out where they will pop out from next . It one of the most fun and acurate hunting apps I actually played and enjoyed and come to think of it everytime I have a few free moments I wil jump on and play and get my skill level up !!! Thanks for making a exciting hunt Accurate and skilfull game !! Love it!!!

Memories

I remember playing this game with my pops back then in like the old bowling alleys and arcades and now playing it on my phone takes me back and winning tickets and prizes definitely takes me back to the arcade days. I used to always play play play till had thousands of tickets to get me a small toy or something lol but thanks for recreating this game like this!!

Big buck hunter

I wish there was a description of each game and how to play. Some hints like how to get doe’s out of the way. It says don’t shoot does but sometimes that is the only way to get a shot at a buck. When playing some hunters get scores higher than possible how? I have played where I get all perfect shots on the first shot. 5 shots 5 deer all score as perfect. But don’t score as high as some of the people I have played against. Is the game fixed?

3 years ago, Hippopotomonstroses

Great app a lot of fun

This is not a fake app and the reviews aren’t fake. This game is fun and it does pay you money. But only if you play a lot or if you deposit money and win games that take money to enter. Overall fun shooting deer and I am just hoping the graphics/physics improve soon. But I do love it and I would recommend it to anyone that likes fun shooting games.

Disappointing

One of those games which seems to constantly need updates. Making matters worse, one must be online to play, so not a game you can do while on a plane, etc. The game itself had been made too complex in some areas, to the point where it’s no longer fun to play. And the way it forces you to play/try new challenges/changes to the game is obnoxious. Build a game that’s fun and makes people want to play, and you won’t have to force them into trying new aspects to it. This game is a failure.

Best Game EVER

I am moderately disabled, and spend a little too much time playing games on my iPad. Skillz games are awesome! There’s something for everyone, card, puzzle, action games! Just to name a few. But Big Buck Hunter Marksman is HAND DOWN my favorite game across the entire Skillz platform. It also has a chat feature which adds even more fun to the game! Give it a try!!! You’ll love it!

Great game , just needs more options

Overall it’s the best hunting game on the market. Very fun. I just wish the game offered more options as in the player vs computer. Waiting around for opponents to complete the brackets could some times take as long as the next day. I want to be able to play 1 on 1 at any given time even if it’s against the computer. Please expand more options

Great fun. ADDICTED

Awesome game. So addictive. The only issue is a lot of the time it has you play then wait for someone else to play and choose a winner that way. How do I know they are matching me against the next available person playing the exact algorithm? The game could just choose a higher total or lower instead of being fair and running the exact next score. It only really bothers me when gambling

Fun and excellent

Great game in general but overall really well made on the iPhone. I love playing this game and if I’m ever bored I just open it up and play away. It is an amazing time killer. I also love how you can play against other people and it tells you how well you do. I really like the feature where it shows you your shots and if they are perfect for not.

Unexpected Good

I was looking for a hunting game so I downloaded 3-4 including this one . I’m glad I gave it a try because I only play this one . The shooting mechanism is great , easy and fun . Zero adds and you can make real money . More animals and Shooting sites would take this game to new heights . I’m still giving it 5 stars for fun factor , ease of use and graphics.

This game is amazing!

Typically any game of this sort that involves cash is an immediate pass for me because I assume there would be some sort of tampering from the company who made an app like this. After playing, the actual competitiveness of the game and the amount of money I’ve won on it has been great! Mechanics are well rounded and you can really enjoy playing.

Big buck hunter - Marksman

All in all this is a great game. Only thing I don’t like is that in my home state I’m not allowed to play at pro level. All the money games I can’t get into. That leaves me with only deer and a few times elk. Elk hunts should be constant in the practice mode. If I only get to hunt whitetail I will most likely get bored in a few days and delete the game.

3 years ago, Mostlyhostly

Could be so much better with updates

Love the game but hate that when I play almost every single time the app crashes abs it says I aborted the match. I keep thinking maybe today will be different, but nope I keep playing and it keeps crashing. Skillz I think if fed up with me for requesting a refund almost every game but it’s true. This game has so much potential with more updates and hopefully soon fix that crash. Other than that I love big buck hunter, great game to be played probably in a freezer where the phone won’t overheat and cause the app to crash every time.

Big buck marksman

The game is fine but when the game is over. The screen will be black and the game won’t come back up. I have to turn phone off and when I turn it back on and the game will start u again. It’s the only app I have that does this. I love the game but I don’t know what to do. I’m not able to play but a few games and it’ll go back to black screen and. I have to turn phone off again. And it’s aggravating. Thanks D Ford

Great game

I’ve always loved this game only issue that I have so far with the app is that it’ll get stuck sometimes and make me lose the game or it won’t calculate my score and when I’m being real money that’s an issue that I can’t have! But it doesn’t do it all the time but those few times is still money!

Can’t cash out??

I’ve been trying to figure out how to cash out in your “cash” in this game. Kind of confused on the premise on that. Would love to hear back from anyone that knows if this is a real concept or not? The ads and game made it seem like you can win real money. Can’t find anything on the game where this seems to be true except for spending tickets. What about when you win cash in tournaments? Very confused, hoping to not be greatly disappointed in another manipulative thief’s scheme.

Best Shooting App Available

Love it. Addicting. The only thing I would change or make better is to give you more chances to earn real money, more tickets earned in practice matches, more specific trophies to earn, and last and most importantly, more practice maps to play… other than that, great game, love it!

Best Game Ever but needs changes

I love this game i really do but it needs changes. I dont think it should cost for a hunt beacuse it is just a game and another thing i really sugest that they give the deer like for ex 10 pointers 8 pointers and different size deer and antler points if u get what i mean and another thing u should be able to to use ur coins to unlock different animals to hunt but other wise best game ever😸

Not sure when I will be able to compete for real money but sooner the better. Different maps, hunting different animals, using different weapons would be a cool addition. Also, you should be able to watch replays of people you compete against to see why you lost.

This is a great game

I would like to say that it is a great game but you have to pay to play there is a free mode that you can go against people in but you really don’t get anywhere. I think a free version of some of the maps would be a great option. But overall the game is great I hope all y’all play it

Not fair match making

I can start a game where it doesn’t match me with anyone and says waiting to find a player. I finish the game and by the time I am done I have magically been matched with someone who has already finished the game and who has a higher score than me. They just wait to see what score you get before they match you against a better score of someone who most likely has put more money into the game. Has happened several times whenever I play a 3 dollar game. Haven’t seen it happen on the 60 cent game.

Bugs

This game is fun and I enjoy it, but DO NOT open the game from a notification and start a match or continue in a tournament, it will go to the start menu as soon as it starts and will abort you from the match making you lose ALL the money you bet in the match. Its so annoying I have lost a lot of money from doing this and it does not even give you a refund. It’s so frustrating. Please fix this and stop having my money lost to an easily fixable bug.

A lot of fun! Even if you’re a real hunter

So, I know this game gets slack because of the headshot aspects. This is a game, we are not able to mount any of these bucks anyways because they are not real! Enjoy the game just because it’s fun. Are you going to be able to take down 5 bucks in one sitting anywhere else?? Love it!

Favorite game to play

While trucking across the USA my daughter and I played this game at the truck stops and had a blast. It’s still one of our favorite and the bonus games always made it more fun. This version is a blast even though I feel I’m back at a beginners level. Lol. Thanks for bringing it home & to my phone as an App
