Thanks everyone I really appreciate all the help!!It can be really frustrating sometimes being out in the woods for hours on end and never seeing a single deer. But no one ever said it would be easy, just got to learn the ropes. Thanks again everyone!!!
Onion721 I'm hunting public land its a mixture of both agriculture and a little big woods, right now i'm hunting evenings there is just a ton of acreage to cover the state park has about 4,000 acres of hunt able land

If the terrain allows you to see a good distance, setup on a good vantage point just to observe where deer are moving in the morning and evening. After a few long distance scouts, you can put a plan together to move in closer based on where you see them moving. And you can never go wrong on Public land by finding the heaviest cover or the hardest to access area to hunt. Try to find the area that may take extra effort to get to. This area will have the least pressure and most likely the best chance of seeing deer. Good luck, and don't give up!

Hunting/shooting a deer isn't rocket surgery. Sounds like you have a good place to hunt. Spend as much time as you can during the season in the woods and don't get caught up in the "trophy hunting" craze that a lot of people get in to. Have a good time, shoot a legal deer. If you have a couple of cheap trail cameras you need to have them out and see what is in the area and what time of day they are using in the area. Don't go to them all the time, let them sit for a couple of weeks without being disturbed. You might try a couple of sacks of shelled corn in front of them to get more pictures.

The first place I start on a big tract of land, creek beds.
Walk the entire creek looking for fresh tracks, find the most active crossing and work from there.

As mentioned earlier, inside corners of fields are good, also edges of different types of cover is good, old logging roads, fence crossings.
Where old growth meets new growth, logged out areas are hot spots when the rest of the woods are open.
If you know of any traditional scrape lines/areas, now would be a good time to sit downwind of them, bucks in my area are starting to scrape, I'm talking scrapes in cover, not field edge scrapes, most of those are hit in the dark.

Evening hunts should be closer to the food sources, after a couple weeks of season though in heavily pressured areas, you can pretty much rule out hunting closer to the food sources.
Deer will mainly be hitting these after shooting light, time to shift closer to the bedding areas.

Acorns are dropping hard here, I sat a white oak flat on the edge of CRP yesterday morning that the deer hit on the way to the bedding area, saw several does and 2 small bucks.

Come Nov. 1, be in the woods, be aggressive, the bucks will be cruising.
Find where the does bed, find a pinch point, there's always a spot that will funnel deer within range.

Oh and be prepared to sit all day.
My last 4 good bucks were all taken midmorn/day.
