Hey everybody,young guy here looking to get into hunting. I've been going to butler main area in sooke as well as lake cowichan and have yet to see one buck. Other then the one i saw in town late last night as i was heading home from cowichan #@$!

I've been doing a combination of driving,glassing clear cut(highest elevation around treeline) and walking the timber.

I have been looking but not have seen any bucks and only a few does in sooke and even some elk in cowichan.

I am not shy of hard work and don't expect hunting to be easy, or for any secret spots.. but I would really appreciate some tips, as i feel that i am looking int he wrong areas as i am not finding nay fresh tracks, droppings or anything..
