Yearling buck with broken front leg

I had two last year, both were high and not compound fractures, we left them alone and both healed great!
 
Is the bone showing through the skin? If so dart the buck and get him sleeping so you can get a good look. Amputate or dress the wound depending on how severe. If the leg appears to be a minor interior break, I have just let them go and only gave banamine (asprin for deer) for a couple days to help with pain and swelling. I have found that broken legs tend to heal very fast on whitetails, even with no splints.
 
This is a clean break front leg hanging and dangling around, don't seam to hurt him all that much, although I'm sure it does he just doesn't show it I guess

Can't see the bone are anything other than its looks broken
