That sounds like my 'honey hole'. Years past there was sign all over the place. Even this spring the deer were in there thick.

All of a sudden they are gone! No tracks nothing. The salt lick hasn't had a track by it in a long time and last year this time they were coming to it constantly. Anyway, i looked around in the woods, found sign in other spots and have been seeing deer in those spots almost every time out. As far as my 'honey hole' i've hunted it 4 times and haven't seen a deer yet.

I'd say find a spot with some sign.
