RE: When is a hail mary justified?
A hail mary is justified when you are down by 6 with :10 remaining and you have 45 yrds to go to the end zone.
What you did was pure ethics. You did the right thing. No need to question what you did.
One request: Please post the pics of the deer when you find him because you will find him. A kick means a good hit.
Good Luck and keep us informed

RE: When is a hail mary justified?
I would have done the same thing.
Was the wound fresh? I have seen many three legged deer and most seem to come from the hay machines that the farmers use. They heal up just about all the time (unless the whole deer is shredded!). I too would say that these are common. They look like hell when they walk but when they run, the only seem to limp and sway a little.
If it was gun season and the buck looked freshly wounded I' d shoot. But if it was an old healed wound, he is just like every other deer in the herd and I would keep to my limits.
