Since the H&H update, it feels like certain other mobs have gotten tougher, so enjoy that "easy meat" while you can.

I don't see how that has any relevance to the subject.

It isn't like deer being more difficult to catch would put us in a dangerous situation (like enemy mobs being harder), but rather it was a charming experience that added a little extra to the game (at least to my friends and me).
