As a stylistic matter, I would add {-choH}.

To me, this implies that there are no animals to be found (by anyone).
(Which is maybe which you meant.)
If there are animals there, but the hunter simply doesn't find them, I
would say, {Ha'DIbaH tu'be'.}

not the object of {quvmoHbogh}:

At the qep'a', we made a list of adverbials we would like to see Marc
Okrand come up with. I think "almost" or "nearly" was on that list.
But in this case, I think you can say, {loQ boHchoH.} (He becomes a little
impatient.)
~mark, did you ever forward our "wish list" to Okrand?

TKD p28 says some verbs include locative notions in their meanings and
gives {ghoS} as an example. I suspect {'el} is one of those verbs which
do not require the locative.
