If you have an iPhone or listen to podcast, I would like to recommend checking out "Whitetail Q&A - A Deer Hunting Pod Cast". This is great podcast that answers a lot of these types of questions. On their September 1 pod cast #4, they discus the issue of "Why do Summer Bucks Disappear in September and What to do About It."

The abstract from this podcast is that a buck's food needs change from summer to fall. Your property might have everything mature bucks are looking for in a summer food source, but not what they're looking for in a fall food source.

Although you're too late for this season, maybe next season you can add more variety to your food sources to make your land more appealing to bucks in the fall.
