The tale of hunting the deer excited me too. Not the fact that the deer cries and suffers...but yes, that i guess. I don't like the cries of an animal dying but i appreciate the attention to detail and sense of realism. Does this mean all animals or enemies are not simply alive or dead? can you leave a man wounded in battle or defend yourself against a bear or cougar attack by shooting and not killing it? I don't know, but the possibility is intriguing.
