We had a very similar expierence to Brocster...5 guys hunting in Wautoma and for the first 2 days we sat in stands and saw very few deer, mainly little bucks. Monday morning one guy still hunted and shot a little six pointer that was just laying in the woods. The snow monday made still hunting optimal, so after hearing of his sucess I took a slow walk back to my stand and shot a nice 8 pointer also just laying there. He looked like a big brown rock until he lifted his head! He was beded down with 2 does in the middle of our property (120 acres) and we hadn't see him before.

And to be proactive, yes I had a orange coat and hat on but took them off after dragging the deer back to the road.
