As has been said already, you are not doing necessarily anything wrong but maybe not recognizing right areas/sign at the time.
Keep doing what you are doing it will all go "click" at some stage, I remember going through the same, I met and hunted with a guy that could find deer what seemed like anywhere. After I had shot a few I began to see them and also began to recognize the areas that the deer liked too.
Now I shoot most of my deer under 15m in the bush and often the hairs go up on the back of my neck when I find a place and sign in my favor, hard to explain but it will happen.
Perseverance pays off!
Good luck
