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.

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
