Al,

Good luck! I might be hunting through you this year, buddy! I hate not being confident in seeing deer when going to hunt. I hope that the two in custody are the snipers, so the gun season will reopen in Maryland.

I have seen an acorn crop like that one time since '97 when I bought the first parcel, and we had a bad winter that killed quite a few deer. The good news is that the trees needed to save the energy to recover from the gypsy moths anyway, and the future looks good.
