Five Hunters (Posted on 2014-02-12)

Five friends (named Lion, Deer, Hare, Boar, and Tiger) have just come back from hunting with five dead animals of the same names. It is known that:

Each has killed one animal, not corresponding to his/her own name, and:
Each has missed another differently named animal, also not corresponding to his/her own name.

It is further known that:

1. The deer was killed by the hunter who has the name of the animal missed by Tiger.
2. The lion was killed by the hunter who has the name of the animal missed by Hare.
3. Deer, who missed a tiger, was very disappointed to kill only a hare.
