[4] In the Career mode, players progress through six geographical regions, each with several sub-levels: Forest, Marsh, Desert, Prairie, Mountain, and Tundra.

A total of 26 different animal species can be hunted in the game, including white-tailed deer, timberwolves, and peccary.

For full information on the console version of the 2005 Adventures, see Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2006 Trophy Season.

The Windows version of the game operates much differently, and allows the player to select locations and unlock them upon their completion.

It operates exactly like its predecessor, Cabela's Big Game Hunter: 2004 Season.

The player will receive money for each trophy bagged, depending on distance, weapon used, and point(s) of impact.

The player uses money to buy tags for each location ($200 each), as well as more firearms and bows, and more equipment as needed.

When the player wades into water deeper than waist-level, they will automatically swim and the same controls for walking apply.

Calls, lures, food, water, medical bags, and scent cover will only play a fixed sound and give the desired effect when used.

The player only takes damage from being attacked by animals, drowning, crashing their vehicle, or overextending themselves physically when they have no energy.
