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.

one of the funniest short exchanges in True Detective S1, where Rust just casually wipes his ass on Marty's affected and insecure masculinity, while they are tracking Dewall/Reggie into the low country. it's too crass to bring up in polite conversation, but it kills me to even be reminded of it.
the greater context is that Rustin's crazy survivalist/vietnam-vet father taught him bow-hunting in the Alaskan wilderness as a youth and Marty is the exact kind of weekend warrior bozo that trophy hunts in the easiest way possible, so now Rust can see the path taken by the killer and disable booby traps, while Marty is useless and needs to follow behind.
Tracking is incredibly satisfying. I'm no good at it, but wandering around looking at foot prints and putting on a serious face and saying "the tracks have soft edges so they might be old, but there was a freeze and a thaw in the last 24 hours that may have distorted them. At any rate, they pressed over these prints of our own boots from when we came to the park last week to pretend to be cool game stalkers, so that gives us a window"
That is one of my favorite shows ever! But only that season, the rest sucked IMO. Oh but the new one with Jodi Foster is good too. I just finished watching it last week.
