Default RE: Don't shoot dogs!!!

I didn't shoot but everyone I tell this story to asks "why not?"
I was bow hunting on federal property in Texas and made a good hit on a doe. I waited for an hour in my tree stand and heard the deep constant barking of a dog coming from the direction of my arrowed deer. I followed the blood trail and came upon the deer, still alive leaning against a tree and a large yellow lab circling and barking. I finished the deer from about 20 yards and when she fell the lab pounced on it. As I approached he turned to face me, crouched over the deer, lips curled, snarling. I backed off and he proceeded to eat an entire rear ham of my deer. This was a large, male, yellow lab wearing a collar with tags. When he was full he just walked off. I gutted the much lighter doe and went to the check station. End of story. Would you have shot Fido?
I might add that we are required to have our name and address on our arrows.
