"Some anti hunters claim that game animals are defenseless and non-threatening. Cows, Pigs and Chickens are defenseless and non-threatening. Game animals on the other hand, can sometimes be very threatening. Game animals have very strong defenses. Their senses of smell and hearing are more sensitive than we can imagine and they are used to aid in their survival.
Here is an example to illustrate this point: As humans, we are able to pick up a scent in the air from about 3 feet away. Dogs, about 30 feet. Whitetail Deer, 300 feet. A Whitetail Deer in the wild is an expert at using the wind strategically to survive and will run away the instant it smells or hears anything that is foreign. It is extremely difficult to sneak up on a game animal in the wild."
