I disagree. He did have a choice - to shoot or not to shoot.
I don't see it that way..........if a deer walks by me at 90 yards through thick brush and I don't shoot at it I don't feel like I made a decision not to shoot. You either have a shot or you don't. He didn't.
If a deer is 15 yards in front of you facing you or facing away he is the same as the deer I described above.........sure it hurts to see them so close and still not have a shot but there is no difference.
