I would of went to the deer and finished him off the chances of you getting caught slim to none. The bow is silent and another arrow up close would of did the job. It would of added less then 10 more minutes from the description we were given. If you got stopped on your way out they would never know, just say took a bit longer to gut and drag then you thought it would.
If you worried about hunting at night, then slice it's neck at that point I would classify that as killing not hunting as it was not stalked. Or drown it in the stream.
That is just me.
