Sorry to hear about the loss of the deer, but you did the ethical thing. I know that there is something I read one time about deer being wounded and become infected. The infection goes through the blood stream and infectes the whole animal, I know I would'nt have ate any of it. Better safe than sorry.
Here's a few pictures of a doe we had around a few years back with a tumer, never knew what happend to her though.
Also a buck with a chunk of his shoulder gone from the neighbors marksmanship.
They are one tough critter.
