What should you do immediately after shooting game?

Reload your firearm
Wait for a few minutes then approach the game slowly
Yell to alert other hunters
Mark the location and continue hunting

The correct answer is: Wait for a few minutes then approach the game slowly

After shooting game, one should wait for a few minutes before approaching the animal slowly. This gives the hunter time to assess their surroundings and ensure the animal is down and not a threat. Reloading of the firearm is not necessary unless the animal is still alive and posing a threat. Yelling to alert other hunters is not helpful and can potentially scare off other game in the area. Marking the location may be important for tracking purposes but should not take precedence over assessing the situation and ensuring the safety of oneself and others.
