My humble opinion......'whistle break' Otis so that you can immediately call him off a track at any point. Then, when faced with this situation, let him run the deer to presure him to bay. The deer was obviously not wounded badly enough to expire in a timely matter and needed to be put down.

You can call him off if you make the determination that he cannot stop the deer.
