Cabela's Dangerous Hunts is a hunting video game that was produced by Sand Grain Productions and published by Activision Value Publishing for the Playstation 2 console, for the Xbox and for the PC. The title was launched in 2003 and is classed as a hunting simulation game played from a first person perspective. There are some role playing and third person view elements.

The game allows the player to explore places like British Columbia, Colorado, New Mexico, Tanzania and Zimbabwe and hunt in those regions as he embarks on the hunting adventure of a virtual life time. The structure of the game makes it so that the player begins all the areas and all the missions in an outpost. This allows you to customize his gear using thousands of real world pieces of equipment so that you are better prepared to confront the challenge ahead. There are some 27 pieces of trophy game that you can pursue. They include dangerous species such as bears, wolves, leopards, rhinos and Cape buffalo; big game species such as moose, bighorn, mountain goat, elk and caribou; and exotic species such as impala, duiker and kudu.

The game is a hunter's dream because it also features real videos of all the creatures you can hunt to give you a better idea of what you are looking for and to provide you with some information on your kills. There are 21 real life guns that you can use to take down the prey and there's even an editor which allows you to create your own hunting missions.
