From my experience the most heavily used trails seem to be used mostly at night. Find some secondary trails that lead to a bedding or feeding area and set up there.

If you only got out 5 times that isn't much time spent in the woods. I have probably been in the stand around 30 times, but I do have 2 deer. It takes QUALITY TIME on stand not just being there.

Also LOOSE THAT ATTITUDE! The more you bitch and complain about not getting any help the more people you are turning off!!!!!! That attitude will not help you get a deer while on stand. Lighten up.
