I don't want to risk the chance of jumping then pushing a wounded deer. If I can see the deer after I've shot it and don't see it moving I won't wait that long. But in both of these cases I did't even know if I had hit them, let alone how well. After I found them and saw how well they were hit I knew I didn't have to wait so long. I remember telling myself yesterday, after both of the shots, that with all the practice at the range I've had this year there was no way I could have made a bad shot. But, you never know for sure if you can't see the deer when you shoot and don't see it laying there.
