??????? Deer don't move when it's super cold??????? Some of my best hunting was in really cold temps. Deer actually move MORE. Now if it's cold AND windy they will hunker down, usually in a pine thicket if they have one close, to stay out of that wind but usually they are up and feeding to stay warm. Also, if memory serves me correctly, deer need water the same as horses do when it's cold to help stay warm so you will see them a lot around water sources.
