    Also just got back from a pre-roar hunt myself. Apart from what I'm sure was a deer sniffing around my tent, I saw and heard nothing. I was certain that I was within 500m of a deer the entire time though, as the amount of fresh sign and browse was apparent, proven by returning to the same area the following day with new sign present.
    500m may as well be 5km in that thick supplejack. Try and find clearings or areas of non-supplejack using satellite imagery, then go scope them out in person. The 3 times I've been now I consider to be just scouting missions trying to collate a list of good looking spots to finally go and hit them all in one try-hard mission later on.
