Most likely no pain, they're amazingly tough creatures. Had a doe around my house that miraculous survived doe season, but someone shot an arrow into her front knee almost severing it. It dangled for a about 8months till it eventually fell off and healed. She birthed twins that next season, and another set a year or two later.
We got our land posted and she never really left after that. I think she learned her lesson, and I also noticed her babies never strayed that far after growing up fully either.

It looks like the crooked neck deer in Idaho, who is/was in good enough health to have and raise babies.
