This may be a bit of a stretch but perhaps the huntman killing the deer was another reference. He could have been hunting any animal, such as a rabbit, but he was stalking a deer. He was a deer stalker. Sherlock Holmes wore a deer stalker hat.
Of course it could have just been showing that Bambi is dead in the Onceverse.
