Ok guys I tried this last night and found it difficult. From what I can tell it's me being all "woo yeah fps kill deer" and then finding diddly squat due to my oaf'ish hunting skills.
I have followed a trail with the pocketPc and found 3 red dots and when you get close it shows the trianglular cone of direction it will be. I usuaully walk this and havde sometimes had it where a small circle shows up around me but I still havent foudn anything.
Do I have to stay slow and crouched at all times once accepting a trail on the navimenu?
I'm new so only got the one deer call, it says in the "help" to use 3 short blasts does it matter?
When the circle is around me after 3 tracks should I basically crouch/lie and wait whilst using the call?
Bit confusing and any tips I'd appreciate
Need to kill a deer, been trying for hours and haven't seen ****e!

Knubje, for you first Deer, go to the 1st Tower to the south. Run the first bit, walk when you're 3/4 the way there and crouch/prone the last 150m or so.
When you get into the tower, use the Deer call (just use one full call) every 60 seconds roughly. There's usually Deer about, so within 5 to 10 mins you should either pick up a call on the HM or see a Deer with the bino's. Stay couched when not using bino's. Keep calling in until it's close enough to shoot. Remember to load your gun well before you get to the tower.
For tracking, once I've found the first track I always walk. After finding the 2nd I'm crouched. You'll know the deer's near when the tracks get close together or you pick up it's call on the HM. It's taken me anywhere between 3 tracks and 10 tracks to find the deer. Wind direction is important to as if you're chasing a deer upwind of it, it will usually always smell you before you see it. If yoi find droppings, the smaller the radius of the circle on the HM, the closer it is. If you find tracks, foillow the exact line of the tracks as the HM provides a "best guess" rather than pinpoint accuracy.
Good luck.

Awesome, thanks for the help.
How do I tell the direction of the wind, being the first game I can only start in the first two "levels". I don't have any item to help me detect wind direction I don't think.
Anyway I'll give it a go with the walk, crouch, track option. I managed to find a a deer yesterday but forgot to hold space when I shot and I missed and it fekked off
I did wonder about the deer call. You say use the full thing once "a long noise until left click runs out" so to speak. I'll give it a go again but it frustrates me after 30mins when I don't find anything.
Thanks for the tips, if anyone has anymore - I'd be grateful
Edit:- I am at the tower down to the south now, just using teh call and waiting...need to bag a deer, been trying alll ****ing weekend! (almost)
2nd Edit:- Meh, stood up this tower 20minutes now and haven't seen diddly. Think I best start tracking one?

Ahahah YEAAAH!!! Deer down!
Basically after Hummuhs advice I spent 20 minutes on that damn tower and nothing arrived. So I went off finding a trail and spotted one quite quickly after being really sneaky and just crawling. I watched it and identified as a female and I didn't want to shoot it because it looked measly and I assume I'm after the stag looking ones?
Anyway, I spooked it after watching it for about 5-10 minutes and so I started another trail.
I found a noise and creeped over to it to find the map showing me a cone direction, so I followed the direction of the tracks I found and headed up this hill slowly. Found nothing.
So I sounded the deer horn and waited a minute and the huntermap picked up a stag nosie coming back in the direction I first found the second trail.
I crawled pretty much all the way, stopping every couple of mins and sounding the deer horn. I finally stopped in a good view point and saw these antlers no more than 12m away walking towards me through the tall grass. I nearly lost my nerve but popped the rifle out fast and fired an accurate shot - nailed the sod from 11.6m away
He was a good weight too! I'm quite chuffed!

I rarely just sit in a tower....I find it way too boring 
I normally run around along a road for a bit until I either a.) hear a deer call, or b.) see a trail.
Then I'll generally walk the rest of the trail, unless all the dots on the Trackermate thing are full, in which case I'll run.
Once you get you're third 'dot', and it has the circle + direction showing, just stay still, and scout that area, chances are if you have been quiet enough, the deer will be in that area...Theoretically
Oh, and what's you're game name Knubje?

Hah
Added you just now.
How many people have brought a license for this? I've been given two extra missions, but presumably I can't actually do them, because I don't have the licenses for White tail and Turkey?

You need to launch it from the website, not the .exe
Caporegime
Yeah, still won't loadre-installing as it crashed mid-way.
Hm okay...Some people do the mistake of trying to launch it as a normal game
But no worries.Hopefully a re-install will fix you're issue then =/
Lol, got to 28% and crashed, now pressing download the game won't even work!!
K, redownloading at a whopping 4.66kb/s.
It started where it crashed, hopefully not a problem.
What browsers do people use for it?
FF3 didn't work for me, anyway.

I think you can download the client as a torrent, not sure if that's of any use though.
