Once that deer begins to become hungry again, that deer will then get up and move to some food source. Those movements are typically based at sunrise and sunset with bedding taking place in between. Movement can sometimes become depressed because of hunting pressure in which the deer’s linear movement will be less and will move in denser cover.
