do deer really go to water when they are wounded?
 
Is it true? Is it that water and good cover go together? How many deer that you wounded but were able to go a distance actually headed to water? How many died in the water? How many didnt head to water?

I always fuigured blood loss caused them to dehydrate, making them thirsty. I have shot 4 deer that have died right next to a small pond after going for three or four hundred yards.
