Got think I might shoot it, but that is with an assumption that a CO with just a tad bit of common sense would see the situation for what it is and issue me a new tag as I donate the meat to hunters for hungry or something similar. If the CO will not do so, I will promptly tell him that because it is not illegal to let a injured buck pass, I will never waste my tag in the name of doing the right thing. Will his concious been clean because his decision as a LEO influnced my future actions? I don't know.
