    Your experiences are typical of new hunters.

    Best to stick with 1 or 3 areas and get to know them well.
    If you see 1 deer, most likely 4 or 5 in the area that you didn't see.
    Look for areas deer are using, then find a spot where you can wait and watch.(wallows, rubs trails, sunny spots, the lee out of the cold wind, feed areas, water points) Yes, binos are good too. Bit of foam to sit on. Sometimes I even take a folding seat. Lol

    Take your time, walk very very slowly if deer are likely about. The breeze is super important.
    Enjoy the day out. Be patient. I often listen to music on the mobile while I wait and watch.
    Good luck.
    RV1, Zedrex and liam_s like this.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
