I'd likely let him walk if I already had a deer in the freezer, or I had more hunting opportunities in the days ahead.

But the brain teasers on this one are the stipulations "Its the first deer you have seen in six days" and "The season for the day ends in ten minutes."

It that were changed to "Its the first deer you've had a shot at" and "the season ends today", I'd put that ball behind the ear at #2 and enjoy the tender young venison.

Shot #1 would be just as good and devastating, but I just can't bring myself to shoot a deer in the head. Don't know why. I shoot other animals in the head all of the time.
