Default What would you do?

This situation happened to someone I know a few years ago. He had drawn a doe permit, and being primarily a meat hunter he had decided to take a doe if given the opportunity. While he was still-hunting along a thick cedar swamp, movement caught his eye and he turned to see a nice doe standing broadside to him. He quickly raised his rifle and fired, and the deer dissapeared into the thicket. He walked over to where the deer had been, and there it was lying dead on the ground. He then saw another doe leaning up against a tree, obviously wounded. He was a bit confused until he realized that his bullet must have gone through the first doe and struck the other one which he never saw. Not wanting to see the animal suffer, he finished it with a shot to the head. He was only allowed one deer, so what he did was technically illegal. He was very shook up - being a law-abiding hunter he was extremely guilt stricken, but at the same time thought what he had done was best. I honestly think I would have done the same.......what would you have done?
