Default Attracting more deer to my area

I hunt on private land, about 15 acres. I can not plant any food plots on this land, but I would like to do something durring the off season to attract and hold the deer on my land more. What are some things I can do on this land to attract them, and get them to stick around more.

set up some feeders and keep them well stocked with a camera over it to see what you have in stock

Identify native spiecies and fertilize them. Where I'm at wild grape is a good source of protien, cut them keep them growing low and add fertilizer. If you you have oaks on the property fertilize them, it will take upto two years for you to see the difference, but well worth the effort.
