Main Menu
The main menu gives the player the option to choose a quick hunt (limited to only one tag per hunt, progress in the career mode is not effected), or the career hunt, where players can unlock locations, embark on long hunts, and bag multiple animals on one hunt. The options, multiplayer menu, movie library, credits, and high scores list are also on the main menu.
Upon creating a profile, the player can choose their character, most of which are males and females of the mid-20s, mid-40s, and the mid-60s. Each character will have different levels of experience. For example, the mid-20s male is able to carry more items and run longer distances, whereas the mid-60s male will tire easily. However, the mid-60s male is more proficient in tracking and aiming, whereas the mid-20s male is rather inexperienced in the field. The player can also choose a log cabin setup where they can view their best trophies from the game. <Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2004 Season></Activision>
Career Hunt
The career menu allows the player to pick a location and begin hunting, go to the target range, access the log cabin, save the game, and browse and change the settings. There are eight locations in the game:
- British Columbia - Canada's westernmost province, this location is known for its rolling hills, thick forests, a stone bridge over a waterfall, and a set of trails giving the player easy access to all four corners of the map. The game here is Grizzly, Mountain Goat, Stone Sheep, and Dall Sheep.
- Alaska - The largest US state. This map features massive slopes and ravines, a river that bisects the map, and a glacier at the end of the trail. The game here is polar bear, Alaskan moose, and Sitka blacktail.
- Alberta - Known as Canada's "Three Prairie Provinces", Alberta features thickly-forested mountains and trails. Game here is wolf, woodland caribou, and bighorn.
- Arizona - The hottest map in the game, with a diverse amount of wildlife and landscapes. Game here is cougar, javelina, Coues Deer, pronghorn, and bighorn.
- Montana - The fourth-largest state, this map features open plains, forests, and a massive lake that freezes over completely in the winter. Game here is elk, Shiras moose, and mule deer.
- Northwest Territories - Being one of Canada's most sparsely-populated, frigid, and largest regions, temperatures are considerably low, forests are often too thick for vehicle transport, and wildlife is concealed by the vast valleys and foliage. Game here is brown bear, barren-ground caribou, and musk ox.
- Quebec - A large region with thick forests at sea level, but large, bald peaks. Upon spawning at "Bathurst Falls", a boat can be found directly behind the cabin, although there is not much water to make boat travel practical. Game here is black bear, Canadian moose, and Labrador caribou.
- Texas - A large state of thick pockets and trees and brush, amidst large plains and steppes. The rough terrain makes travel by the pickup truck difficult, but the large map and hot temperatures make walking impractical. Upon spawning at "Ash Fork", a boat can be found by driving up the trail, and walking off to the right towards the lake. There is a dock here, and another dock placed at the opposite side of the lake. A cast iron bridge seals this gap, and a broken bridge can be found at the bottom-left corner of the map. Game here is coyote, whitetail, and wild boar. <Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2004 Season</Activision>
