Sounds quite typical and normal.
I know if I sit in location "A" the deer all pass location "B" and if I switch, so do they.

I've been setting in a blind watching a freshly harvested small cornfield and seeing up to 4 bucks and 10+ does about every evening, but never a shot opportunity because they stay out of range. I moved back to my location covering a small isolated field that borders the cornfield. I have a feeder and mineral block there, and eventually a deer is going to get his timing wrong and show up. I have a choice of seeing a lot of deer out of crossbow range, or seeing very few deer, but when one shows it will be in range - I'll stick with the long sits with a good chance of shooting one when it does show up.
I'd pick the location with the best shooting lanes and sit it out. You might want to try some scent trails, or a scent "wick" in a location that would give you a shot. Limited calling might produce results, too.
Just keep reminding yourself - deer don't grow old by being stupid & careless, but they do make mistakes! We just have to be there when they do make a mistake if we hope to kill one. So spend all the time you can in the stand and it will eventually pay off!
Good luck on getting him!!!!!!!!!
BTW - A "sure fire" trick to seeing him up close & personal is leave the crossbow at home and bring a camera. Works all too frequently, but digital cameras don't hold up well when thrown from stands.
