I go pick it up. ha ha.
Deer hit in the boiler room dont last long, just seconds, deer hit the neck just drop.

Istay putand finish hunting to make sure no other deer come into range. Then I get breakfast (or dinner), and come back out after 30-60 minutes, depending on the placementof the shot. I say it's better to err on the side of caution and wait a little while longer rather than risk spooking a wounded deer and having to track it further, so I take my time.

I also give thanks.
I have always had the best luck with a bowon rainy days.
The rain turns crunchy leaves to carpet, and takes the scent straight to the ground, and also covers any othersound a careful hunter may make.
Leaving you to only fool the deers eyes, and that is the easiest of all.
I have always had adog available though.

First identify the shot. If it was a heart/lung shot, you can go in after 20 minutes. If it was a gut shot you'll wanna wait several hours. If the deer is down where you shot it, you probably don't have to wait long, just make sure you approach it carefully with a loaded gun.

You are very lucky if you've never lost a deer that you approached right away. You should read the book "Finding Wounded Deer". It is brilliant and should answer any questions you have.

Depends on the situation.

If archery hunting I immediately shoot an arrow into the ground where the deer was standing when I shot it. terrain always looks so much different when your on the ground. Then Ill sit and wait 30 minutes or so too start tracking.

Muzzleloader hunting, immediately reload. Depending on what part of the season it is,, openner morning for example I continue hunting until predetermined time, trying too fill more tags(we party hunt). If I see it drop and its warm, Ill get down tag and field dress then climb back into stand.

Rifle stand hunting, jack another round in and continue hunting until predetermined time. Then Ill get down and track or tag and gut.

Rifle hunting drives,, jack another round wait for next deer too come by, shoot that one, jack another round and continue until drive is over. If im driving I mark a couple trees where I was standing when I fired the shot and continue on with drive. return later too track deer.

well i get very excited and about fall out of my stand if its very nice lol.. then i think about where the shot was.. if i saw that it was far back i will wait about 20 min, go look for my arrow and blood and see what the arrow smells like, what the blood looks like, and how much blood there is. if it looks kinda highor in the shoulder, i will wait 15 min or so, then go look for my arrow and blood. if there is good sign, i will wait about 10 more min then track it, if no good sign, i will come back in the at least 6 or 10 hours later with a friends tracking dog. if it looks like a good shot i will weight about 20 min then go down and look for blood and my arrow, and if there is good sign i will go ahead and track it then. it all depends on shot placement for me :P

track it, then gut it, then drag it, then skin it, then quarter it, then eat it

Pffffft, screw the standard half an hour wait. I'll wait a good 2 hours before I go in trailing a deer, what's the rush?

i start to stalk them right after i shot them.
it just feels natural.
call me crazy.
i am a young hunter and have only killed myself 6 deer but everyone died by the time i got to them, except 1 and his front shoulder was broke so he wasn't gonna out run my lightfields in that harvested corn field anyway

Ok, you're crazy. You've been lucky so far andneed some tips on tracking for when you make a bad shot. There's a wealth of info on this site regarding tracking. You've been around here for over a year, plenty of time to read some of it.
