I learned that lesson the hard way in a spot that *always* held deer. I kept going back thinking I just wasn't seeing them. Looking back, it was too dry and there was no water so they left.
Get the e-tag app and call a local office. See if they will work with you. I have had luck with that in the past, however, if the season is open they may not want to do it over the phone for fear of you downing one and calling to get the tag after.
To further complicate things, it's a bit of a sliding scale in my book.
In recent years, the lack of water and fires has made it seem like we aren't getting the same number of big ones killed like the years past.
It's somewhat alarming they were not able to find him. You would think a silver truck on an off-road trail could be located in 3 weeks of searching.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
