If you were fat and wearing heavily insulated coveralls would you want to move much when it's above 30 degrees ?

During my fall bow hunting and late fall shotgun hunting here in NJ, I see a direct correlation between cold weather and warm weather and the deer's patterns. Of course, wind and other hunting pressure factors in, but for the most part I tend to always see more deer when it's cold than when it's unseasonably warm.

For instance, on a warm fall afternoon with temps maybe close to 75-80 degrees, I don't see much deer movement. A day or two later with temps in the lower 60s, deer are in abundance. Everything changes and doesn't matter come the rut, but I see more deer and head to the woods more often under ideal conditions and favorable temps.

yeah i think it does make them move more because they cant bed down at any point in th day because they hae to keep moving to keep warm.
