You should wait at least half an hour before trailing the deer. You should try to watch carefully and see which way it goes. Chasing a wounded animal yields meat that tastes gamey, so try not to chase. When you do trail, follow the blood trail. Listen carefully while you wait and try to hear where the deer is or if it goes down.
