Marlin 336, 30g IMR 4895, 150g soft point, 75 yard shot from 30' up in a pine tree, result is a dead dead deer. Still ran about 100 yds up a hill after a lung shot though. Just finished putting it into the freezer. Went yesterday, nearly got blown out of tree by the wind and rain, went again this morning, stayed out all day, got the shot at 3:30. Patience pays off. Will be going out for number two tomorrow.
