kswild - Cool video. Looks like it is spring time. I would venture to say that if it is a cold and very windy fall day, the deer may be more apt to bed then they would in the spring.
That video was shot 2 weeks ago around Sept.25th 2010
So you are wrong it is a fall day.... they will move in any weather. Why do you guys always believe old wives tales about when deer bed. They have to eat and drink just like anything else. Spend some time in the field and you will learn deer habits. Deer will even move in blizzards. Most of the stuff you hear about deer habits is untrue crap. Just like that thread that was posted about throwing conventional wisdom out the door. What he THOUGHT was conventional wisdom was NOT wisdom at all. The guy finally learned you don't need ANY hunting products that are on the market to get close to deer. Windy cold days are especially good days to hunt.
Live it up! Doug
