I'd put it down and have had to do so on a couple of occasions. One smelled so bad I just left it lay; didn't need the meat bad enough to risk getting sick. I think it had been shot during the first gun season and I shot it in the second season (Illinois). The deer had been suffering for 2 weeks.

4 years ago after a volley of gun fire from a drive several hundred yards away a doe fawn with no lower jaw came walking past my stand. There was no question, i shot it on the spot, they would have never found it and it would have died a slow death by starvation otherwise. It was an 80 pound puppy dog but it was the right thing to do.
