The above info is very good.

It appears you have a tight family group who resides on or very nearby your property. Most ranges for does are fairly small inthe summer months, and chances are that family will still play a role in your hunting season.

I'd look at adding a plot if possible, or making one out of atv trails, or a logging road. With any luck, the bucks will know where the resident does are (near your area), and when the rut gets them into gear, they'll head over to your area and stage.

I'm a big fan of having a small plot in woodlots (I hunt exact area as you described). It has been my experience that bucks who move in to stage and/or find does will feed on this during day hours if it makes it through the early fall.

Mineral licks may help, if legal. They'll be more apt to help you bringbucks onto your property during antler growth periods though.

Play the corn and wind for early season tactics pre-rut. They love the soybeans, but deer of all kinds will come from miles when those corn fields are cut down. Talk to the farmer, and ask when they will be coming down, or have him call you when they do come down. I'd set up a stand on the edge trail5-10 yards in from the fieldline(every woodlot in this scenario has edge trails used by bucks, and does every now and then). Play the wind right, and hunt it for the couple days following the corn coming down. You'll see a good amount of bucks then, who are feeding aggressively for the upcoming rut/winter.

I've kept records of my deer sightings for the DEC up here for a few years, and have done it for 6 privately. My sightings routinely go up exponentially during early season as the corn comes down. I do a bunch of camera scouting, and many of the bucks I see at that time are on top of the ones I've got on camera, so I know they come in from adjoining properties.That corn will bring them in for a few days for sure.
