Default Which is the best spot

I have 3 stands on my place. One overlooks a grown up grape orchard, full of sumacs that the deer rub every year like clockwork. They will rub these sumac almost exactly 1 week before Oct. 1. I have a corn feeder in it and it has some persimmon in it, but its too grown up to see into the persimmon. The only thing with it is since I bought the property, I haven' t caught up with the bucks that rub until around the middle of Nov. The other stand is in a big oak(no acorns this year) but over looks a road that goes down a low draw with thickets on the sides and is a pretty good funnel and I killed a doe out of this stand 2 weeks ago. The third stand is the one that I would think would be the best, but I see less deer out of it. It is a small quarter of an acre in a low draw with thickets around the edge. I had a food plot in it 2 years ago, but didn' t have much luck in it. I' ve scattered rye grass seed and have a corn feeder. It is low and concealed from the sides and unless you know its there it is invisible. It has a road in one end and I can sneak into my stand from the side. My gut tells me this would be the best place to get a big buck, but for some reason, I never hunt it because I don' t see many deer in it. Where would you hunt. Should I stick it out in stand 3 even though I see less deer? I' ve already killed my doe and in AR. we have a 3 point rule, so I' d like to connect with a big one before gun season.
