You did the right thing. I would do the same in a heartbeat.

I'll go with the overwhelming majority here. You did right, absolutely.

RE: What would you do??
 

It seems you've got a lot of support on this one, and from me too. I haven't been faced with a situation like that it being my first season, but if I do I hope I will do that. You saved that deer a lot of pain.

RE: What would you do??
 

I left him lay, I fed the buzzards, and foxes. Like I said in the original post,he had emaciated toskin and bones, he had a large bump/hump about as big as a football hanging down under his belly, and a coumpound fracture on his leg that looked somewhat infected, he litteraly could barely walk. I wasnt about to risk eating the meat. I originally felt bad for killing him when he was basically defensless, and for not letting mother nature take its natural course,but after reading these posts and thinking about Im glad I did what I did. Thnx for the reasurance guys and gals.
