y0ur best bet is to find a nice place you can watch over some trails, forget the calls for does.  this time of year, they are being harassed by bucks and you making ANY noise will likely send them the other way.   patience.

Your best bet on such a hunt is to sit down, stay still and stay quiet and be alert at all times. A mesh net camo blind or some such might help but if you're still and quiet the deer will likely come if they are going to thru your small area.

i agree with graybeard, sit still and they will come. its only 50 acres, if yu walk around and stink it up they will evacuate.

:D Sitting tight is probably the best bet. Try to get in a spot where you can see as good as posible. If you should shoot a doe the call may help you call the fawns back. A friend of mine has called fawns back several times with a bleat call. I don't suggest using it unless you want to shoot the fawn also. A call will sometimes stop a deer so you can get a standing shot.
A comfortable chair or treestand might be more useful if it helps you sit still and quiet all day.
