Welcome to the site, stcspidrman1,
That is not unusual.  I have seen it many times on my property.  What at one time looks like a hot spot, suddenly goes quiet.  At this time of year, bucks tend to hang out near doe groups.  Due to food supply changes, the does may have simply move to a better feeding area.

I've got the same thing going on right now.  Last 3 times in the stand I haven't seen a deer.  The thing I least understand is the only corn field for miles around is right next to my stand.  Unless they are staying in the corn and not coming out till later as I don't have my camera up any more.  Usually have have taken my deer already but this year I just haven't had time to put in the time. ;)

Like deadeye said, it's not unusual, especially as the rut starts to heat up.

A good read to understand why this happens would be a book called "Whitetail Intrigue - Scientific Insights for White-Tailed Deer Hunters" by John Ozaga.  Very well researched book that will change your view on a lot of things you thought you knew about deer.
