In the end DMQ set the standard and if you meet that standard then you get the award.
If canned deer are not forbidden and it is considered that the stalker met all the requirements of the award in stalking, shooting and dealing with them then he should be awarded DMQ2.
So, I think the correct version of the question is "Does DMQ2 forbid or otherwise rule out the shooting of canned deer?" For the qualification to be valid and of value the answer to this question should be a simple "yes" or "no" otherwise I might suggest that the requirements are rather too vague and so devalue the qualification due to rather lax specification allowing for varying levels of competency or performance to be viewed in the same light.
