There was this one time me and a buddy of mine were hunting a bluff on my farm that over looks the Mohican River. There is a large white oak stand right on top of the bluff and when the iwnd is right it blows your scent off the bluff and out over the river. Well the wind was right one night so we trekked up the bluff in the Mid-afternoon and climbed into the stands that we had set prior to season. At about 5 o'clock a young 1.5 year old doe came into our set-up and with video camera rolling my buddy smoked the doe and she took four big leaps and off the bluff she went!!! We couldn't believe our eyes!!! She went right off over a rock face for about a 150 ft. fall to the river. We took the canoe down the river that night but we nver found her.

Yeah I would say deer want water badly after they have been shot!!!
