Of course. Meat in the freezer. You can't eat the horns.

It would have to be of sufficient size to justify the drag out and butchering . I wouldn't take it just because it's limping , their healing abilities are impressive .

A wounded deer would be going down and tagged, whether it's a buck, doe, or fawn. It's just the right thing to do and you'll be able to livewith yourself.
