Default what would you do?

While hunting last night I watched a small doe come in and she was limping very bad. I would have passed on her but I decided to take her because limp was that bad. She went down about 50 yards from my stand with in seconds. I gathered my gear and went to dress her out. I pulled her to a better place and when doing so I decided to turn her over to see why she was limping. She had been shot with a rifle in the front of the chest and it came out the shoulder. It was green, infectedand it stunk like you would not believe. The leg was just dangling there. By alrights this deer should have been dead due to the shot even though it was a poor shot choice bywhomever. My question is "Do you tag the deer or leave it?"

I will be honest and tell you I moved thedeer to a different part of my prop and left her there. I am bothered by this but I don't believe this deer could have been salvaged.
