Like I said,... I think you did the right thing. As a side note.... we had a badly wounded doe come into the woods behind our neighborhood on the Sunday after our gun season closed. This was back before we had the long bow season. Besides that we have NO SUNDAY hunting. The neighbors that found her knew I hunted and was the only one in the 23 house neighborhood with guns etc. ANyway, I called the DNR and told them about the doe. She' d get up and move when anyone got near her, but would fall or just lay down when she got 30 or 40 yards away. I said I could dispatch the critter with an arrow. DNR said, " we won' t come out. NO, you can' t kill the deer. Let nature take it' s course. I know it' s cruel but that' s the way we do it" . Well, I ask and they said no. Oh well, I don' t know how it happened but just before dark some how that deer fell on an arrow and died quickly.
