Patterns change in the fall
One important factor others have mentioned is that the deer patterns change in the fall, as the food sources change. Then they change again during the rut. If you have acorns in your area, especially White Oak acorns, the deer will tend to feed on those in the fall, when you're actually hunting. If you have a really good mast crop (lots of acorns), then the deer will feed well and may not move as much. If you have a very bad mast crop, then the deer may try to find other food, or, in really severe cases, move to where there are more acorns or other food.
Once you find a good, mature White Oak, look for game trails nearby and set up along those, especially within bow shot of trail intersections. The trails may not be heavily travelled until the mast crop starts to fall heavily and/or the crops are out of the fields, but you can usually see where the major ones are if you know what to look for, even if they've been neglected since last winter. If there are human-made trails in the woods, the deer (especially the less mature deer) may use them if they have not had hunting pressure in the past there.
Good luck!
