You're gonna need snow. 
I hunted that unit religiously with a smoke pole since I started hunting.  Without snow, its awfully tough, like it was last year.  In the entire first week of hunting on dried cornflakes I saw one small buck, and that was it.  
It has been a tough last few seasons for me, as the last buck I killed in that unit was in 2005.  But I've always had cracks at them.  
Good luck.
