You didn't mention the acreage of this particular place. Would it be feasible to plant maybe an acre or 2 of food plots? It's really too late now for this year but maybe next year get a jump on it. In other words, make your property a food source destination. Early planting of a clover field is fairly inexpensive and really helps in the recovery of deer after a hard winter. Might accidentally get your property to hold a few deer that way. But it will most probably get them traveling in a more established route.
My property is 22 acres. I have two mini-plots. maybe 20 yards square. little to no activity in them. one weird thing is it seems to be a buck hang out. I have owned this place since 09. always 5-10 different bucks using the place and maybe one to three adult does. ive never seen a place with a buck to doe ratio in which the bucks have the lead. maybe that has something to do with it.
