How far do animals travel for water

Recommended Posts

Curious as to how far deer/elk travel to and from water and how long they can go without water. The high/low desert transition areas to be more specific but info on other regions would be great to know also, thanks.

On the rim I've watched elk herds that travel about 3-4 miles each day from thier water holes to thier beds.

 

As for deer I've had coues and mulies 3 or 4 miles from the nearest water. The deer have never seemed as habitual as the elk. (With the exception of some of those coues does that have the exact same schedule year round...)
