Pretty FUN wasn't it?!!!!! Love those Marlin 336's. I shot many a deer with them over the years. Although I have several guns and have owned many more over the years, I can't think of a better 100 yard gun. I like how they are short and maneuverable... and their accuracy still amazes me.

Looks like that decision to go for a walk paid off big time. I'd have to agree those deer are so much easier to see when there's snow on the ground. I use binoculars religiously, so I'm use to seeing into the woods very well anyway, but when everything is white, it helps my naked eye and makes it a little more fun to be able to see them better.

Good shot, nice doe and pic! Congrat's and hope your future hunts are just as exciting!
