down hill and towards water. Rarely do I ever see one head up. Usually around water is heavy cover. So they usually coincide.

Exactly what I was going to say. Ultimately, thick cover.

which way will they go?
 

In my experience they go downhill (ease of movement) and to think cover.

Same thing you would do if you were shot.

new name?

In my experiences, Cover or downhill.

I have to agree....they usually look for cover,running down-hill or water if they are hurt bad enough....I have also seen Deer run back the direction from which they came because they know it was safe back that direction and I have seen Deer circle back around too!

All the deer I've shot head toward the ground and no matter where I hunt, their always just a couple feet from it.

depends on what is near by: water, thick cover, also if your near a hill they will go down hill 99% of the time

Down Here in the South ,they always head for water.

Bingo....exactly what I was going to say downhill first then into something thick.
