The ones that aren’t....often times these are the Marsh beds or cut over beds, beds in thick cover or a bed that offers a deer somekind of advantage without using a specific wind. the deer will obviously stay put when using these beds. The beds in the hills are often times very dependent on the wind, so they will. Sometimes beds in the hills aren’t wind specific, so they won’t. Sometimes beds in the swamps and marshes are wind specific so they will move.
So....as with most things related to deer and deer hunting, I think the best answer is.....they’ll move sometimes, but not all the time.
I agree, it's terrain/cover dependent. All the beds I've found have been wind dependent which you can tell by what's around. Thicker cover to the back and open in front. Our swamps are different that most though as we have hardly any marsh at all. We do have plenty of cutover and I agree on those. I still find quite a few beds on the edges though.
