NG,

Part of that link reads:
"Wait 30 mins

Particularly if you have lots of daylight left, it’s best to not get out of your stand right now. Wait thirty minutes. Why? Because at this point, you’ve shot the deer, it’s run off, and frankly, it doesn’t know what just happened. The deer doesn’t know you’re even there. If you get down immediately, in his current state of alarm, he will hear you, his adrenaline will kick in, and he’ll run off even further.

Wait 30 minutes. Stay very quiet. This gives the deer a chance to quickly find a spot to lay down, and not run off even further."


I think that's' 100% wrong!

The hunter should go after the deer right away and finish it off so it won't escape and most of all won't suffer any longer.
