Oh my God. The corpses are piling up.

I want that deer, but I don't think I'm going to be a good enough shot with my pistol to hit one running away from me if I just unload wildly in its direction. That, and I've heard rumors of many other people nearby who have ended up shooting each other when they've been a little too quick on the trigger… I'll try to sneak around for a better shot. Option 3.
