Pistol | Option 3 - Try to sneak to the other edge of the clearing and stalk the deer in the woods on the other side. Perhaps a more steady shot will present itself. (For players/teams with guns)
I would like to give it a try and hope to conserve some bullets with this option. I think that a deer is also very tough that hunting it requires accuracy and I'll need a steady shot to be able to achieve that.
