I shot a 9 pointer on Sunday with my Marlin 512. It had rained over night and drizzled through the AM. Got off a stand after seeing some deer, but no shooters. Went to another spot that is good for stillhunting with a north wind. Crept along through some thick cover, standing more than walking. Saw a doe after about an hour, but no buck in tow. Was headed toward a triple trunked oak that I stand next to, planned to stand there for about an hour then move again. Got to where I could just see the oak, and spotted a buck bedded right next to it. Had a good rack so I pulled up the gun to look him over. As I got him in the scope he looked my way. It was about 40-45 yards and all I could see of his body was his neck and half of the front of his chest. Felt good, so settled the crosshairs on his neck and laid him out.
I'd say the deer numbers I've seen is about average. The buck I shot had the biggest rack I've seen this year.
