Default They've gone nocturnal in my food plot...

I put in a small plot of Green Patch Plus, it's only 45' x 30', with the hope of making this bow season a slam dunk to put some venison on the table. The problem is that I've been setup 4 times so far overlooking the plot, evening hunts, and I've only seen 1 fawn come out. I know they are eating because the plants have been chewed up a bit. So they must be coming into the plot during the cover of darkness. The plot is on a powerline and I guess they don't feel secure unless it's dark. The nearest edge is 15 feet. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar?

Food plots are great, but only if you're able to shoot something in one. There is a big corn field about 3/4 mile from my property that is still standing. I'd bet that's where the deer are feeding at dusk, because my sightings have been disappointing so far.
