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.

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!
