Items include decoys, blinds, hunting licenses, binoculars and other hunting accessories.

The player has a limited amount of inventory space that they can fill with hunting equipment before the start of their trip. Each area has cottages, farms and hunting lodges scattered throughout where the player can find trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles and boats that can be used to get around the area quickly. The deer migrate depending on the season so a herd found in the summer might be easily located further south in winter. Days in which deer hunting is not in season are not selectable. The player could choose which date to go hunting and the weather would reflect the season. The game originally included three playable areas in Utah and three more in Missouri. The player can go to a test firing range to adjust the scope of their firearm or bow so that it lines up properly at the distance in which the player feels comfortable with. The player must account for things like wind and the rate at which the bullet or arrow drops. Deer Hunter 3 is a hunting simulator that was released in late 1999.
