A wounded deer will head towards _______?

The only time a deer will go to water is if they are gut shot. They will get a high fever and will go to the water. A deer hit hard is thinking one thing... go somewhere for protection so that means cover. There may be water near by but they aren't heading to the water but the cover.

Depends on where they are shot where they end up. A vital shot such as liver or other organ will result in death faster thus they are usually found in an area where they feel safer just to escape the immediate danger. A deer who has been gut shot will do the same but alot of times doesn't die within hours. With a belly ache they would likely go to a water source to drink to soothe the upset stomach and fight dehydration much like we would. Then they could hold tight until death because of the pain caused by every step they take. I believe any deer with the time to make it toward water will eventually get there and most likely die there.

Also, good post question. Good to hear what people's opinions are on this.

water or thick cover, whichever is closest. I've found a many of them in both. Normally with dogs on their butt they head to water. Pulled 3 bucks last yr out of thigh-deep water. Our land is flat as a pancake so I'm not sure about the uphill/downhill arguement..

Not only are you demonstrating poor grammar, you're also a pretty crappy hunter. Ignorance is bliss.
If you can't respond to post with a semi-educated response, then please don't bother posting at all. I don't find you to be amusing at all.
