Think of it as getting to know the area and paying your dues.
There is learning without success.

SSS nailed it, but i understand your frustration because in my first few years I spent a lot of time getting to know areas that didn't hold the animals I was hunting. I thought if it looked good to me, it must look good to them. Eventually I figured out that I had to keep moving until I found prolific sign, then it made sense to invest in learning and hunting the area.

I would say the easiest sign to find is does. You can't shoot them, but they are easy to spot and you know bucks aren't far away. If you aren't seeing plenty of does, keep moving.
