17 does and 3 bucks--why on earth would they bother with your tactics when they have little to no competition for does? Quit announcing your presence and just hunt silently with the wind in your favor.
And skip the bait--that just helps them eat at night when you can't see them. Studies show that the net effect of baiting works against hunters.
