I'm not sure if your damage output is high enough with a q15 sling. Deer are the sort of enemy where you kind of need to melee them or use a bow. At the very least get them away from the other deer. Each of them can heal the wounded, including the one being attacked, so you really want it a bit of distance away from the herd.

With explo 50 and q50 sling I was able to kill a pack of them in less than half an hour. Just be sure to aggro a deer away from the pack before starting to shoot it, otherwise the other deers will heal it too.

how does exploration 50 help?

He's probably mixing up exploration with perception bonus to MM.

50MM and Q25 sling (or better if at all possible) are my suggested minimum requirements to kill a deer. Even then it'll take a while because you're waiting for some lucky shots. Make sure to separate it fully from the herd or they will heal it and you'll never get a kill.

Yes I meant MM, not explo.
