How long has it taken the industry to realize you can't keep a good deer down? Not long at all, actually. To wit: Deer Hunter's progeny, Deer Hunter II, has thoroughly trounced mama/papa deer on its way to the number one position.

　　Even Cabela's Big Game Hunter, a lessor force among the hunting titles, maintains a respectable 13th position on the October charts, while Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter, Unreal, and Titanic: Adventure Out of Time each dropped at least six slots from the previous month.
