Hunting Season [BETA]

Hunting Season [BETA] is a realistic open-world hunting simulator by the verified studio Josima Studios where players track wildlife, read animal behaviors, execute clean shots, and build a trophy lodge from their harvests. Launched July 4, 2020 and reaching 94M+ visits across five years, it is the top-tier hunting simulation on the Roblox platform. An extraordinary 200 max players per server - compared to the typical 12-20 in hunting games - gives it a genuinely populated open-world feel. The Fandom wiki at hunting-season-beta.fandom.com is confirmed active with 17 documented pages. Josima Studios last updated the game in March 2026 at version 0.15.1.

The hunt is a multi-stage process that rewards knowledge and patience:

• 🗺️ Read animal tracks across three maps - Boulder Creek, Thabisa Valley, and the newest Severnaya Tayga (Tiger, Gray Wolf, Wild Boar)
• 🗺️ Stalk prey using wind and terrain awareness to avoid alerting animals before committing to a shot
• 💎 Aim for vital organs - Heart, Lungs, Brain - to determine kill speed and trophy quality
• 🏠 Preserve harvests to add trophies to your lodge across 6 rarity tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Ruby, Mythical
• 🗺️ Hunt 14 confirmed animal types including Moose, Grizzly Bear, Canada Goose, Lion, Zebra, and Hyena

The Trophy Lodge is the persistent collection layer - players build it out over many hunts, displaying their best harvests from each species and rarity tier. Trophy rarity is determined by animal weight and hunt conditions. Firearms range from the free starter .223 Remington Ruger up to a $180K AR-15, with caliber-to-animal matching, ammunition types (FMJ, Hollow Point, Slug, Birdshot), and scope and silencer attachments adding gear depth.

Hunting Season occupies a unique position on Roblox as a game that aims for genuine simulation authenticity rather than arcade mechanics, attracting a playerbase that wants realism in a platform better known for casual games.
