I'm hunting with a muzzleloader, so I won't be able to shoot twice quickly, and I want to reload as stealthily as possible.

Another way of putting it, how long would you wait in the first stand after the first shot before moving on? My plan is to still hunt into the wind in search of deer #2, I'm just not sure how long to wait before doing so.
This time of year I'd stay put and wait.
