+2 on the reload and wait side. Shock is the number one factor deciding whether you take home your deer or not. Allow time for that shock to finish the job, or if the hit wasn't major, be ready for the second shot, JIC.
When he immediately started after the deer, he brought adrenaline into play. I've seen animals bleed completely out and still keep running if they're being chased. Other times, their instinct will make them find a hidey hole and "disappear".
I know it is very hard for a new hunter to settle down and wait a few minutes to ensure his kill is clean, but it's worth the discipline and wait.
I wish him better luck on his next hunt.
