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.
Disagree with this statement gun or bow it is always best to give the animal plenty of time. Your statements come from inexperience. Give yourself a few more years and deer and you will realize why most seasoned hunters follow this guideline
