Checking traps every day you can see that atleast one out of three nights they don't move enough to find a persons traps. After a big snow, 18-20" I have seen it take 8-10 days for them to travel enough to cross a road, for me to see tracks. They waited for the snow to be moved several times to firm it up. The area where I hunt and live is mostly one square mile sections, a road every mile, a few sections have a 1x2 mile section, but most are 1x1 mile. If they were out hunting they would just about have to cross a road. So in my experience, they don't hunt or move every night, now if I could pinpoint which day to stay home!
