Yip. Unfortunatley the way it is. Despite the amount of animals 90% of people seem to lack the imagination to explore for themselves.
My advice is this, get yourself some topo maps. Lay them out and look for areas of bush close to roads that people would drive right past without a second glance. These spots are usually off to the side of roads without any lay bus or car parks. Look for terraces and ridges with reasonable sized flat areas where water would pool up for wallows etc. GPS mark these spots then park your truck there early morning and get into it. I have shot stags within metres of my gps marks where I thought a wallow would be by doing this and have never had someone else hunting the same spot.

Nobody is being harsh in there comments .
Grab a spot X book and make a plan .
I myself enjoy going to somewhere new and have a look.
Topo map are good ,study a spot check the contour and creek system then google earth then go back to topo to remind yourself that it isnt as flat as Google shows.
offering a box of beer is not going to make someone give up his or her spot X
Nor is asking for info on hunting spots then asking for people or pubs to go drinking showing that you a serious hunter on a trip of a lifetime.
Enjoy the trip and write a story on your return the west coast is huge place with so many spots that you will find somewhere to hunt and a sucessfill trip is not about deer kills its just about being in the bush somewhere new.
If it was about getting a deer every time I would have given up a long time ago.
Love walking my gun
Pick a decent sized valley system, go up it for 3 days or so fly camping on the move. If they're roaring you'll get onto something, if not - get on the binos and get in the bush to check out the bits that could hold deer - flat terraces & knobs, guts, basins etc. A mapping GPS is awesome when hunting spots you don't know on the fly.
