Sex takes precedent over nourishment, including water. Not if they aren't in good health & lack water/nourishment. |

Deer have to drink water everyday....period. They might prefer sex, but water is mandatory..they will die within 48hrs if they do not drink water...It is the only thing a deer has to do daily...drink water..they have no choice. |

" Although whitetails will seek out water much of the water that they need can be found in the food that they eat most of which is between 50 and 90 percent water. In the winter the deer can meet their daily requirement by eating snow or by licking ice if open water cannot be found. Although surface water is not as important to whitetails as food or cover, in drier climates a lack of available water can prevent animals from using the landscape completely."Read more: huntingindiana.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=deerhunting&action=display&thread=34693&page=1#ixzz136WCCRg1 |

Re-read the link, said they need water, didn't say they have to drink to get it. |

They will find hydration in one form or another while chasing after the girls. I'll hunt the same way unless I see "alot" of action & sign focused around water.
