the deer havent been moving during the day, and i think the hotweather is to blame,
this weekends going to be extremly hot, and should make it even worse, do you guys stalk and walk around in situations like this? is walking through the beds a good idea?

Given the heat, though I don't know what you are calling hot, set up next to water. Other than that, you just have to be patient. Move in closer to bedding, if you can. They move, just not much and not far, but they move. Patience is the ticket.

Same as I do when they are. Always looking and listening. Try this out, works for me. Some how the critters have figured out when to move and it'soften whenthere's a loud enough noise to cover their movement. Next time a plan or train or something like that goes by, look closely, if there's anything around, something will move.

Try at night time with a big old spot light. That seems to work well.

Just kidding!

I would look for heavy heavy covered areas. If they are by a creek, even better. The canopy will keep in the morning cool air and the moisture will also keep it 10 degrees cooler then the surrounding air. Also the deer feel very comfortable in there walking around even if they do wind you. Remember you only need a few shooting lanes not 360'. I love hunting these tight spots. During gun season that's where you'll find me.
