Get a pop-up blind.
Good advice if it's a bow friendly model, I've gun hunted from them for years and love them. They give you portable cover and conceal your movement well, also very nice if it begins to rain. If you can find a natural ground blind like a felled tree top from recent logging, a round bale, or a fold in the terrain such as a gully use it. Farm equipment makes a good blind since the deer are used to seeing it and won't spook if it's in a different location from one day to the next. Cow pies make great scent cover, walk through them when you can. Are there any fruiting trees or brush on the property? Key on them if there are. Have they combined the corn or beans yet? If so skirt the edge of the treeline surrounding that field and look for trails. Concentrate on inside corners and windrows too, fencelines are another deer magnet, pay particular attention to any place where there's a low spot in the fence. How about ponds? If there's one wiithin ready reach of cover you can be sure that deer are using it, look for tracks.
