I cant figure out my land...(good and bad)
my land is so confusing!! in the months around hunting season i get ALOT of pictures on my camera and see alot of tracks and sign....today i find tracks and trails everywhere and beds...the last 3 months i have not got a good picture of a buck and in the last week(the week after archery is over) i get 90 videos of deer...small bucks and does and anterless bucks...ugh it makes it difficult to find deer during season!!

if ya came home and there was a deer in the livin room....would ya notice? your walkin into the deers livin room.
i would work a little harder on stealth ..and that means scent!!..imagine you are a fishin net full of rice...as you walk.... rice (scent) is fallin all over you.and the ground and basically everywhere..so get some huntin laundry soap and get an outfit that holds in all the rice and make sure everything is tucked in..i.g your head cove into your jacket, your jacket into your pants, and your pants into your boots then boot spray everywhere!! this could help!

I think you just answered your own questions.
Put in food plots, the deer are probably just randomly roaming around looking for food which is why your can't pin'm down and start descenting. The sprays are pretty cheap.

Food plots don't have to be that big.
We have 600 acres and over half of that has cattle on it. I rarely see deer around the cows and never hunt it. I have a food plot that is in the middle of a ton of timbers. Maybe 50ft x 200ft and the deer hit it constantly. I plow it with a 4wheeler .
