I don't think so. She's not hamstrung. Looks like she's just cold and starving.
That is what I teach in the conservation chapter of Hunter Ed. Prey animals don't really "starve" to death in nature. They generally only starve until they can't evade a predator. Then I describe how coyotes hamstring a deer. Your bullet/arrow is just about the kindest way for a deer/elk/antelope to leave this planet...

:yeah: Exactly. There are very few deaths in nature that aren't agonizing.
