Deer are bedding close to the food - and NOT moving often.
They will consistently move between 3:00pm and 5:00pm when its really cold. - The trick is to leave the bedding areas alone in the day so as not to mess up the afternoon hunt.

The deer conserve their energy - and have no idea when warmer temps will come.

Sometimes they will bed right in the food crop (like corn) - but more often in the closest cover. Late afternoon hunts rule - undisturbed deer especially.
