When I lived in TN years ago, I encountered similar situations, just gave up, and found another secluded area. That's probably not what you want to do, but sure feel your pain.
First of all, the deer have most likely turned all nocturnal because of the activity during the day. If you do hunt it, I'd suggest getting into your spot an hour before first light and just stay until the "walkers" arrive. BTW, these folks may even push animals to you location enroute to their bedding area.
