Hey mate when your hunting deer stop about every 100 meters sit down watch and listen for them... then if nothing just keep moving doing the same thing ..good luck

I'm in the same boat, but been hunting for a few years now , and bumped many. Its really tough in thick bush, often you only see or hear the deer as they disappear from a few meters away! I find the best time to hunt is late afternoon on wet or windy days( helps conceal your noise) , always working into the wind and moving very slowly. A bow is as good a s a rifle, except that the shock of the bullet stops the deer from getting too far before it falls, making it easier to find. The secret is to get as many hours in the bush as possible, and navigation skills are mandatory carry a PLB at all times! . Your video is a good reflection of the way most new hunters feel, just keep the language clean and you will pick up a good following. Good luck!

Keep it up mate > you doing well and doing the right thing > better to only go to one or two places and get to know it - where the feed bush is, what the thermals are with different wind directions and what the animals do in different seasons.... rut pads > where the hinds fawn all that > once you start getting a close knowledge of the area you will start getting the results > better than you may think at first > and when you have finally cracked a good block you can be selective and only it hunt it at the best times.

Hunted up there a lot, lived on that road for a few years. There are deer up there but very few and far between. Best hunting with a bow on doc with far more deer around like kaimais and the puroras. ( tip is to keep well away from that hut and the fences there's a lot of cameras and very passionate farmers up there that don't like people going on there land.)

They use to be around the edges of the doc land, but I been there a few time and I haven't spot or herd any for a long time. Guessing the farmer shot some maybe . I been there a few times and I'm stating to give up on that location. not much there mate.
