How long will a buck use the same bed?

How long do you guys think a buck will use the same bed? I'm referencing a buck that is quite old. Do you think once they find all they are looking for in a bed they will continue to use it until they die? What about changes in the woods such as logging? Will that effect the bed in short term and eventually they'll go back?

In some cases it's taken me years to kill a buck in a specific bedding. In other cases I was unsuccessful but using different sets saw the same buck over multiple years out of that same bedding.
