RE: do deer really go to water when they are wounded?
I arrowed a nice 8pt two years ago andcouldn't find any sigh after 200yds. Didn't get full penatration and hit him high. I ended up finding him close to a half mile away laying in a thicket next to one of our big ponds. My arrow was still in him and I felt terrible that he had to go through that. It is the only deer that I have lost and hopefully will never happen again.[&o]
