    If you post up the location we can advise where we would look. At this time of year the deer will be on higher scrub / grass faces. Deer are quieter and easier to hunt in the evening so if you can get to a good ridge top ( just off the top) glassing spot two hours before dark it is almost impossible to not see deer at present in the scrubby matagouri faces and screes but dont glass the open, glass the scrubby edges of the open and little openings on ridges. Deer dont like stepping out of the bush directly into the open if they can help it. They would rather transition through scrub and move out once they are quite sure its safe and only in the last half hour of light.
    GWH, paremata and Ned like this.
