Need help attracting deer

I had plenty on my trail cam last year when putting corn out.
This year, after the flood, no deer. Just a bunch of coons.
I'm a deer hunting novice, so what tips you got? Planting anything won't work due to it being swamp land.

My deer were scattered after the flood. Most are returning now

Just keep the corn out and they will come, doesn't sound like there's much else you can do.

Mineral block up on a stump.

Anything besides corn? Rice bran?
I'm going to try the mineral block too.

Go out in the woods with a turkey call. I see shitloads of deer when I'm out turkey hunting. Maybe you can confuse them.

Swamp land shouldn't matter. You can make plots grow. Think outside of corn. I hunt the swamp, not just boggy when it rains swamp. real swamp. The deer know where to walk and where the dry ground is and where the food is however they dont have as much of a pattern as hardwood deer since their trails dont get worn into the brush and water levels affect what paths they take
Find ridges, old trams, mounds sticking out of water. Deer will bed at base of big cypress or on fallen trees. lots of scouting will be required. Deer know the easy to get to spots for hunters and will avoid them specifically during the day. I try and hunt +/- 300 yards from my feed. Although i do have a stand over the feed just to have another option.
Feed needs to be suspended. PVC or barrels strapped to trees or drive a 4x4 post.
Find ridges or something that can get dry from time to time. Plant rice or a grass mix that can survive in water. I planted something like this this year and its growing great. Its inside a ring levee and holds water (2-4") for a while after rain

This is pictures inside my ring levee. Like i said it stays wet and rain pools in here and stays for days and days. Rice will grow. this is the grass mix along with some other stuff. The grass is made for a boggy area and will live under water for a while once it is grown. The other stuff will die out.
