What should you do after firing at a deer and it runs out of sight?

Immediately follow it
Wait a while, then track it
Give up and try to find another deer
Go back home

The correct answer is: Wait a while, then track it

After firing at a deer and it runs out of sight, it is crucial to wait a while before tracking it. This waiting period is important because approaching a wounded animal too soon can cause it to run further away or become more aggressive, posing a safety risk to the hunter. By waiting, you give the deer time to lay down and succumb to its injuries, making it easier to track and recover. Therefore, it is best to exercise patience and allow some time to pass before starting to track the animal.
