Well, I didn't make it out for bow, but below is my take for the first day of shotgun. I missed a 10 point the same day. (Long story, I won't go into.)

I have seen a lot of deer this fall. Three buck within a few hundred yards of our house in the two weeks prior to shotgun. Well, I have a couple weeks yet. Warming up the inline for ML season!

Just for those who are not familiar with the Finger Lakes, I live near the old Seneca Army Depot, home of the Seneca White Deer. These are all white whitetails (not albinos). They are mixed with normal whitetails, as well. There is a population of about 200 on the depot. This one walked right out to me the first day of shotgun.
