Hunting Unlimited 3 is a hunting simulation game for PC that allows players to hunt 13 different kinds of animals in over 50 action-packed missions. Using an ATV or riding on horseback makes it easy and fast to get around, whether players are hunting in the forests of Canada or the exotic Zambian terrain of Africa. A total of six hunting locations are offered, each featuring expansive maps. The environments presented are full of rich details, from the wind causing the trees and grass to sway to the flowing of lakes and rivers.

The Bulletcam, which allows players to experience their shots from a bullet's point of view in suspenseful slow motion, can be turned off. Before hunts, players can head to a shooting range to improve their accuracy with one of the many weapons available in the game, including bows, crossbows, rifles and shotguns. Then choose your accessories, such as baits, calls, and scents, to help guarantee a big trophy.

Animal behaviors are also hyperrealistic, perfectly capturing everything from the easily provoked bull moose to skittish deer and sneaky mountain lions. Buffalo, elk, wild boar, grizzly bears and more are also available. Players can even head over to heat-soaked Zambia to experience the thrill of tracking three entirely different and exotic types of game - elephants, kudu and lions!

Injured animals leave blood trails for players to track, with a dead animal or a second shot awaiting at the end of the trail. The tracking function is another fairly realistic aspect of the game, with the amount of blood varying with the location of the injury and the distance the animal has traveled. At the end of missions, players can view their bagged trophies in a special trophy room or head over to the in-game map editor and create their very own customized hunting challenges to share with friends via email.
