Took this bruiser the Monday before Thanksgiving. Half of his 10 points were broken or damaged. He must have been a fighter. Not sure how old this feller is, but he field dressed at the locker at 186 pounds. Lots of meat in the freezer. My .300 Savage pictured did it's job. I love that old gun! Made in 1941 and still as accurate as the day it was made. We didn't see as many deer this year as in past years, in Southwest Wisconsin in Richland County. Good luck everyone! Good hunting.
Love the 99's and ya might I say have a "couple" myself.
What for ammo are ya using in your 300 ??

Thanks for all the great comments and congrats. To answer the fella above, I use Reminginton Core-Lokts, 180 grain soft points. I only use those because a couple years ago, Meijer was clearing out all their ammo and I found like 12 boxes and got em for around $5 a box. Can you believe it? But the 180 grainers are very accurate. Plus the longest shot I can even take where I hunt in Richland County, Wisconsin is around 120 yards or so. Most of the deer we take are in the 40 to 70 yard range.
Again, Thanks for all the comments. My brother in law took 2 trophies off this property back in 2004. I'll try to post pics later on.
Happy Hunting!
