up-a-tree....Well I didn't do as good as one of my sons and two buddies. We got one with bow, one with M/L and one with rifle. We hunt in J2 and L for the most part. I managed to miss a nice buck as I saw him coming out of the swamp and he quartered away thru some very thick alders. I look for over three hours but saw no evidence he was hit. The next morning, on my way to my treestand, I saw blood right under my treestand which was about 150 yds from where I shot. Again I looked for hours, but could not follow the blood trail. I lost sleep over that deer, knowing I was responsible. Sure hope he made it...Congrats to you on your season. I don't know about the conditions up north, but I think so far so good for the deer here...but then again it's early in the winter. I got a son and a couple buddies over by your way..in Danville, Hampstead and Newton..
