I have no doubt believing that any one on here would take an injured animal if he or she believed that the animal was hurt bad enuff that it would not make it! or if one came buy you with an arrow stuck in it or with a bad gun shot wound? But just one limping buy you? Not coused buy hunter or another animal? Just a springed legg? Would it make any differnece if it were a spike? Not a 120c and you only had one buck tag. And he came buy just limping?(IMO) Only the hunter can decide at that time weather the enjury is bad enuff to take it or let it walk?
