Most likely they have changed to acorns, although depending on where you live that can be a temporary move. The bucks I have been watching in eastern Oklahoma have recently started coming back to the corn within just the last few days. We had acorns here but not a great crop, so it didn't take long for them to wipe them out. As others have said they might also have changed their range, which would be worse case for you, and then third you might be checking your site too often and pressuring them away, which is bad but if this was the case if you leave it alone for awhile they might come back.
