I'd make a suggestion of a game cam. Find some well used trail to a food source that you know does utilize and set up a cam 10 yards or so off it. During the rut you should be able to see if there are any bucks moving about. Based on this info, you might be able to better evaluate your stand selection and perhaps even determine a pattern. It's a little of an investment, but the result might help with your confidence and also can be enjoyable.

I see 20 does every time out, but also have a set of young bucks about 10 that I've also seen. Every spot has it's upside and downside when it come to mature bucks. Mine is that you have to remain positive and cautious entering and leaving. Mature bucks are smart, that's why they get mature. In the next month they'll start making small mistakes. Hopefully you can find THE spot on your property and get a set up to put you in the right place at the right time.

Good luck.
