It would seem that given the focus point you show it should have been spot on .., the long green weed in front of the front hoof is in focus and the leaves on the tree to the right or pretty much on focus ..
I sharpened up your photo a bit and while the deers face is now pretty clear for most ...when you zoom in .. the weed in front stays in focus while the deer gets blurry ...
Either the deer moved during the shot or the lens /camera needs a simple calibration ..
Thanks! that looks great. considering I was dealing with a wild animal and trying to check settings he could of moved a bit as I hit the shutter or maybe I moved the camera slightly as it was on a car roof and I had my hand on it.
