Default Mercy Killing.....would you???? (Update on pg. 3)

I watched a little BB (button buck)last night for about 45minutes, not sure how long he'd been there, but I notice him at about 1615, and he tried about 6 times to get up and struggled to get to his feet, only to fall back down. I ranged him at 38yds, and put my 40pin on his heart, and stuck him to the ground. I really thought about not shooting him, but he just didn't look like he was gonna get out of the woods. This is the same place I killed a coyote with my bow a couple weeks ago, so I know what his demise would have been. I tend to believe I did him a favor.

This is the main reason I felt I should finish him quickly....I shot him from the same stand site I shot her.....

I hope you legally tagged it, and BB is a button buck.
