They know you are there.I suspect they are still smelling you.Maybe too much cover scent.



Deer will come in to a food source or bait from downwind and if something isn't right,they will move on,so my suspicion is they smell you and move on.



My suggestion is to forget the cover scents and just take a bath in scent free sope,wash clothes in scent free sope and put the clothes on when you get to the woods.I have had to do this in the past and I saw a lot of deer.Use some scent elimination spray ,like carbon blast and put it on you and your bow.


Next thing I would do is move down wind and down the trails from the bait,a 100 yards or so,making sure you are coming in from the downwind side.


Next thing i would check is that I am not disturbing beds when entering or leaving.


In my area it is really hard to hunt late season for various reason.One is they get REALLY smart after gun season and secondly,they like to herd up late seasonand you can't ever seem to find the herd.You find one and you find them all but finding the one can be tough.
