Big strong predator that sucks at hunting so much that they need to lure the deer to stand directly in front of their gun.
At that point you're not even a hunter, you're a slob that might as well be ordering from a menu. Pathetic.

using a gun is already cheating. you're not a real hunter unless you wrestle and strangle the deer with your bare hands
You're allowed a spear, but it has to be a spear you made yourself. Deer have had four hundred thousand years to invent spears, they're just being lazy asses growing them out of their heads instead.
Just wait until the deer start innovating and build their own Browning machine guns
It's just a matter of time. Co-evolving defenses against predation and all that.
What's your take on whaling with a knife while singing a 58 verse long song about how much you like killing ala the pilot whale hunters on the Faroe islands?
(I'm very opposed in case anyone is wondering)
Whales don't have spears, unlike deer.
Unironically this
yeah I was being somewhat facetious but it's truly funny to me how hunters pride themselves on being able to kill an animal while using an advanced piece of technology invented by somebody else hundreds of years ago that they just... bought at a store. like come on
With modern guns and optics you have to put in effort to not hit the target.
There are literally guns that have an auto-aim system called TrackingPoint (least creative name ever) and will help you line up your shot and tell you when to pull the trigger. It literally will not let you miss. At that point, what's the point?
Putting on my mark 5 MJOLNIR power armor to kill a deer.
One that costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars to buy, complete with a Name Brand (tm) computer designed and printed camouflage over everything and a matching Brand sticker for their emotional support truck
At least hunters in the past used whatever cheap surplus they had or even just a bow
I'm willing to make an exception for a flint-knapped biface tool (as long as you make it yourself, obviously)
I think I could take some western white tails.
You've gotta chase that deer for 10 miles until it drops dead of a heart attack or run it off of a cliff!
