I would walk about 2 or 3 hours up then find a nice campsite and hunt from there.
In the past ive found a bit of a gradient with more sign but warier deer lower down. Secluded Light gaps, fallen trees and gullies open to the sun (uncommon) are the magnets.
Let us know ( in general terms) what you find. Dont need to tell specifc hot spots.
