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.
