I used to kill bears, boars, and deer with this method on day 1 of new worlds. I believe I had about 5 UAC when I did it? It's essential to get combat advantage against deers first so you end up needing about 144 initiative.

I've killed 2 deer like this with only 50 IP for each one.

Why can't I pull it off, then? I keep track of damage dealt and they always heal up more than I can deal, no matter if I try to KHTO, chop, cleave, etc.

1. Get away from the deer.
2. Try again.
3. ???
4. Profit!

Also, cumfirmed, killed plenty of bears in shallow water at ~10 UA. Ex village mates can confirm.

I haven't pulled it off under 30 UA too (maybe because I hardly tried but w/e).
Were there any other deer in the surrounding? You have to tease the deer far enough away from the others, so it can only heal himself and can't get healed by others too.
Hope you have a great day

Yeah, I pull them off one at a time always, no matter how I'm trying to kill them (until I get a SS or good enough bow and can 1-shot kill them).

Did make the mistake of leaving a body laying out, though.... Let's say I ended up 1 less deer for the day very quickly. (Fookin boogs)

You can kill deers in a pack with a sling with enough MM. Just have to try and get 2 shots off before the first heal.
