Personally I find this thought comical.

We're using guns.

Preys natural instinct is to put space between itself and whatever wants to eat it. Even bush stalking which gives the deer a better chance of survival it's still a joke. You spook a deer at 5m, it runs to 40m then stops to assess the situation;
What is it? Is it still approaching? Do I need more space? Nope the predator is just standing there, I'm safe for now, stupid thing is just playing with a stick?

They don't have a concept of guns.

Even worse when your talking about 400m shots etc.
Damn this grass is good! Ah fuck that hurt! Bang!

We use technology because we would never stand a chance with our hands.
