What is the first thing you should do after shooting a deer?

Reload your firearm
Wait for the deer to fall before approaching
Immediately track the animal
Mark the location and wait a while before tracking

The correct answer is: Mark the location and wait a while before tracking

After shooting a deer, the first thing you should do is mark the location where you shot the deer and wait for a while before starting to track it. This is important because giving the deer some time to calm down and expire will make it easier to track and recover. Approaching the deer too soon can cause it to run off farther, making it more challenging to locate. It is crucial to allow the deer time to bed down and expire quietly before following up on the blood trail. This method of tracking also reduces the chances of spooking the deer if it is still alive, increasing the likelihood of a successful recovery.
