Default Thermals and Deer Movement

If thermals rise in the morning and descend in the evening, does this affect the direction deer will move if bedded on a hill? I have read a lot of contradictory info. on this.

For example if a buck is bedded on a side hill and he has an ag. field above and another ag. field below. In the evenings, when the thermals reverse and air currents are coming downhill, does this mean he will be more likely to travel uphill so the moving air is in his face similar to a prevailing wind?
