Sorry to hear you had a bad hunt! Its a big unit and it can be tough to find the deer pockets. Pretty similar story with Juniper, Steens, Whitehorse, Wagontire, most of the big desert units. There are not deer everywhere, even though there might be great habitat, seems like there are swaths with very few deer. That's just the the way deer work sometimes. It is just a lot more pronounced now than years ago because the deer populations are so low.
