How long have you been hunting this parcel? The reason I ask is based on your op, it seems like you have been relying on the log road. Have you taken time to scout the entire area, do you know the travel routes to and from food sources and beds? If you don't, I think you are going to have much better luck if you identify the travel routes, developing strategy based on this information and forget about throwing stuff on the forest floor and see what it brings.

You said you can't hunt over bait so start determining the funnels and pinch points if you don't know them already. If you do, then set the camera where you know they will travel.

Something else to consider as well, are you conscious of your scent when you place these attractants down? Also, you might have put too much pressure on them going in and out.
