    That's half my problem, the place has game trails all over. But there isn't a lot of deer sign, I'm hoping there is a way to take that occasional deer and somehow attract more.
    I'm at a loss.

    well if you have LOTS of game trails, that means deer are using the area alot
    try moving the camera to more locations and try to figure out what time of day they are using them
    you can try building funnels, by blocking off some trails to funnel deer to use less
    if you have any places to get Apples, get some, apples and fruit tend to get eaten more by bigger critters like deer,rather than say a corn pile that most critters will eat off of

    you can try hinge cutting some trees to help make funnels, or stacking up brush
    can also try setting up high in a climber stand and watch where deer are moving froma distance
    if hunting was easy, most would give up after a few yrs
    its this challange that makes most of use stick with it for yrs and yrs
    have patience, hunting in real life isn't like on TV shows
    on average 60+ % of hunters eat tag soup
    its how it happens to be
    many times it takes yrs to learn how deer use a property
    and some time never
    as they can change habits over time, making it harder, and again, it why many folks like that challange
