Default Is this an ethics Question??

Even with the howling wind I went out this AM. Itstrangly calmed down just as good light shined.

I saw a small fork horn that I have seen more than once. Seems like a regular. This deer walks like one rear leg is shorter than the other and sort of drags it. Not sure if he has been hit by a car in the past or broke the leg or hip at some point. I could have laced him good at 20yds on the money.

My questionis would you shoot this deer out of courtesy and use up your last buck tag or would you let him pass and let nature take it's course? He looks a little thin but I can see no visible injuries.
