Had a great big game season here in Montana this year. Covered lots of ground and saw a few nice mule deer but never felt the urge to trip a trigger on one. I did use one of my perch bellied 250-3000's to fill an antelope tag. He's not a big one by any means, but I was looking more for meat than anything. I was using a handloaded 87 grain Speer and a peep sight. Was able to make a clean one shot kill through the heart at 225 yards. Not bad for a 101 year old gun. The shot ![[Linked Image]](http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss283/mw406/P10206770005_zps9doshdjd.jpg) As he lays ![[Linked Image]](http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss283/mw406/P10206990026_zps6majijr9.jpg) The 250-3000 does it's job once again ![[Linked Image]](http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss283/mw406/P10207100019aa_zpsb0rld9x7.jpg)

Nice! Open sights hunting for game is something I leave for the guys with better eyesight, but it's cool to see it.

Was all pumped up to hunt my friends farm, where several respectable bucks have been hanging out, in broad daylight. Can't go tomorrow, I have to work. Woke up with the FLU. chills, muscle pain. Gonna try to rest up for side job tomorrow.
We have a late buck season January 8-10, still hope, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Tuesday I shot 4 pointer in Wis muzzleloader season with Savage ML-II muzzleloader.
Pictures may come some day, however photobucket won't let me back in without new email address and Windows 10 took over my computer mid-summer which gives me grief with pics?!?!? Figured most everything else out with W 10 except pictures and how to get them off SD cards, etc... Got all winter to figure it out.
PS: Nice UP buck! They are out there.

Just remembered to post Miss Morty's biggest buck yet. She took the five dollar prize for big buck this year. One shot with her 99F, 300 Savage. Not a collectible gun but shortened with a recoil pad and fits her just right. ![[Linked Image]](http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z67/campcreekfarm/IMG_3111_zpsgalmnese.jpg)

Last Saturday I took my 99G out and harvested a nice Northwest PA whitetail. This 90 year old rifle is still putting venison on the table. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h326/Zachary_Blank/IMG_2823_zpsiwoprzcy.jpg) s1104s1104
