I live in S.C. just last week our Archery season for deer opened, I climbed up my tree opening morningand screwed in my bow hanger and sat down, it was about 05:30am. I heard something to my left very close to my ear, I turned on my head lamp, turned and looked. I just about jumped out of my tree when I saw a opossum ~6 inches from my face... his front feet were on my bow hanger!!!! Man I tell you what when he started hissing, I almost let him have that tree, but he turned away and continued to eat grapes that were on the vine next to my tree.
