    Ours got hit pretty good with the ice storm and the deer eating it, just some life on the top, anything we can do so it will come back.

    Unfortunately, from my experience with them, no. Once those lower branches die/break off, they don't grow back. The top may still take off again and grow well though.

    Thanks Boog, I guess we'll look for a tree off our own property so we can replant, we have some spruce.

    Yep, once an evergreen looses a branch it'll never grow a new one to replace it. The other branches around it might fill in some gaps eventually, but blue spruce is so slowing growing you will probably be waiting a LONG time.
