I don' t believe it to be true. Deer may use a dry creek bed to travel down for a ways, but, most creek beds where I hunt usually have all kinds of deadfalls blocking it around about every bend, so, as far as them using a dry creek bed as a travel corridor, they won' t use them to go far, because deer like the trail with the least resistance. I don' t beleive that they will every bed down in a creek bed either. At least I' ve never seen a deer bed in a creek bed.
