Preview:
Hunting Expeditions is relatively good for a Cabela’s game, making it still only an average game. All achievements can be earned offline in single player, and no achievement is missable since you can replay missions as much as you like.
The most time-consuming achievement will be "Gold Rush", which requires you to get all gold medals. Progress towards these medals can only be made in career mode, and can only be viewed in-game. Check regularly your progress through the Menu and scroll all the way to the right.
Hunter’s sense makes hunting very easy, so don’t be shy to use it. Just don’t go overboard with it, as it accelerates the passage of time, though it’s unlikely you’ll run out of time.
While driving on vehicle hunts, collect all flags before you initiate the hunt proper. You can always check your map for the locations.
Warning: After finishing a Career hunt, always return to mission select. Never choose replay, as that doesn't seem to save your progress.
Step 1: Career
Play through career, upgrading your gun while you progress. Try to get kills while both prone and free-aiming, and using Hunter’s Sense. Mix using your range finder and strategic mode to mark animals to get progress towards both achievements. Always go for the vitals, you need quite a few kills in all three categories. And don’t stick to just one gun class, as you’ll need 20 kills in each class.
Step 2: Quick hunt
Once done with Career, all locations should be unlocked for Quick Hunt. Simply hunt and claim two animals (for a grand total of 21), and then quit out. Repeat for each region and you’re done.
Step 3: Mopping up and grinding gold medals
Return to Career mode and work towards achievements and gold medals you’re still missing. You’ll likely be short at least some kills with different scopes.
Conclusion:
One of the better Cabela’s games, Hunting Expeditions gives you a semi-fast boost to your gamerscore with not too much hassle.
