If you have all wooded area with no ag land for miles then they gotta be looking for some sort food source (ex. ag land) or like ihookem1 said someones baiting close by and drawing in deer, then headin back to your land when they're done feeding and about to bed down. But still unusual when rut is going on. If this is true then you might be able to catch a good buck just before nightfall that was feeding early and heading back to your land to bed down. Look for a nice spot and clear lanes near some hemlocks or pines where they like to bed down especially from predators.
