How the can a game be a foot?

Grant,

Have you considered that by "game" it is meant quarry? "The game is afoot" might be taken as akin to the "fox is running" therefore the hunter pursues.

This is how I have always understood the phrase.

So basically, as Jay is a hunter, you're saying that he should shoot himself in the foot !
