RE: New Engalnd hunters
I missed a nice 6 pointer from about 60 yards max in central NH... There isn't a day that goes by that I don't curse myself for that mistake. This deer was cleaned, butchered and in the freezer before I came close to pulling the trigger. I totally deserved it, but it won't certainly happen again if the opportunity is there.
There were no fresh acorns, but still some horny bucks looking for action. I saw considerable evidence. Can't wait to go back and look for some sheds.
Good luck
