I’ve heard many many times inexperienced hunters or hunters new to the area say “no deer”!

There are certainly good numbers of deer in there, I think a lot of the issue finding them comes from both the state of the bush, and the topography. With the deer living up on the flat (at least where I hunt) its very hard to pattern their movements compared to hunting standard NI alpine stuff. The wind is much harder to predict in this flat terrain and the bush is very hard to navigate. Most will be bumping multiple deer without knowing it, although this is likely the case in most bush hunting.
