Default is there an elevation that is too high for deer?

I went scouting on a mountaintop of the George washington national forest yesterday. I was around 3000 to 3500 ft high. I noticed that oak trees were far and few between. Is it rare to find deer at these elevations since there doesn't seem to be much food?
