theyre not rlly eating my plots... so im lost idk what to do.
Now's when the fun starts. They're eating somewhere and you have to figure it out.

My suggestions are to drive around, look at an aerial photo, or ask around to try to learn what might be attracting the deer to somewhere else and find a place to set-up on that. The other is to get yourself in the woods and start looking for sign to see where the deer are and what they are doing. Stillhunting works good for this--but don't be creeping through areas that don't look productive. Move fairly quickly until you start seeing some sign and then slow it down. Or find something they're using and set-up in the nearest downwind blowdown.

The other one is patience. Rut's coming, food sources change, etc.and deer shift their movements. Your plot maybe a gold mine in just a short time
