RE: A question of ethics
Depends. A badly limping deer can be deceiving. They look a lot worse than they are. If its just a leg wound she'll be fine. Did I hear shots from the immediate direction in which she ran from? Do I know someone VERY close with a tag. In 99.9% of the cases she'd keep going, because deer are very resiliant. If I could visually see that she was very critically injured and someone had JUST shot. I might shoot and track the person down if I felt it was close enough and save them a track job. but most likely I'd hope they come along and I'd help them continue the chase.
