By the book post from gsteigeljr but if it were me, the ethical thing to do if you knew you spined the deer, would be to follow-up on it as soon as possible and take my chances with the PGC if someone calls it in. It would be worth the fine and other consequences to me to sleep easy knowing I ended the deer's suffering quickly. I have a headlamp with me in my fanny pack so I would have been able to do the task at hand out in the woods.
