I have another friend that bow hunts from tree stands, and he tells me to wait after shooting the animal for about 15 to 20 minutes before you track the animal down.
He said that if you go after the animal immediately, it'll keep running way off and slowly bleed out,
where if you wait, the deer will go a short way, then lay down, thinking it's hid, and bleed out there.
But I don't know. That's just what he said.

This is commonly held to be true among both bow hunters and firearms hunters. Thanks for the reply.
