Around 2:19 into the move, the guys are hunting and Michael sites a large deer in his sites. The then raising the gun and fires to purposely miss and says "OK" to the animal. Why?

yeah def symbolic. Pre war he is pretty gung-ho about "one shot", hunting, and eager to get into war. I guess it's the comment is on his change post war and it's violence.
