not sure what the area around you is like but I would try setting up near watering holes and travel routes in the morning or evening by the food plots to intercept the deer. Also have some patience for the rut to kick in as well. Light rattling (sparing) could trigger a big buck to come in and see who is in his area too.

alot of times when you have a feeding source the deer will make their beds close by. I am in jersey and we are allowed to bait. I can't tell you how many times the deer bed within 50 yards of the bait.

you'd be surprised where a deer will bed too. Unless it's just flat level open ground with grass 8" tall max....youve probably got deer bedding there somehow......what type of 'cover' is on your land. It's hard to find 100ac in the south especially, that wont have a deer on it.
