here in maryland we have a 24 hour period to check our deer in... if i found it wounded an it was tryin to get up u cant jus let the animal suffer any more.. you wounded it u must finish it off... id kill it take it home an call it in as yesterdays kill...sounds to me like the the game warden told
AZBear to jus leave the animal to die..
If we find a wounded deer while hunting here ... the warden saysyou either walk away and let it die on it's ownor shot/tag it. To put it out of it's misery and not tag it means a fine and chance of hunting privilages taken away if you are caught. You shoot it , you better have a tag and tag it.
