I'd count it as my limit just like some do with deer (I would if I wounded one... but first I need the chance to shoot at one). However something somewhere down the road will eat it.
give it your best to recover, however a pound of meat is only so many calories, and you burn up so many treking and trespassing (hypothetically)... at some point you've got to reach "it's something else's dinner".
It gets eaten, and being eaten by something other than you is less wastefull (that whole circle of life food chain stuff... keep the nutrients in nature BS) than you taking it home and serving it up (a good chunk of which gets trapped in a landfill).
