Default pop quiz hot shot, what would you do??

so, I go out yesterday with my rifle to a overgrown stream bottom surrounded by mainly by open area. I see a doe almost immediately about 400 yds away. long story short, I stalk her and take and make my longest shot with a gun. about 200 yds. I am walking to get her and jump another deer that is limping badly. someone had taken a frontal shot at this deer and it's left front leg was barely hanging on. I take three shots at it running and kill it. sad too, because it was a nice button buck. I call the game warden (because where I am you only can kill one a day) and ask what to do. I was a bit iffy on this, because I know how they can be. I did get another tag 'free' of charge. he thought this little one was following the doe. what would you have done???

also, he said if we see a deer that is showing signs of cwd, don't shoot it, just note the location and phone a warden. he said there is no law, but that is what they are advising. I'd shoot it and let it lay, and let them come get it. You??
