Well I finally got lucky yesterday morning. He was shot with a 1923 .300 savage 99G topped with a Redfield 3x9 accu-range sitting on a Lightfoot mount.

My oldest son got a WY doe antelope with the same 1961 99E 243 Win he got his doe deer with in Oct. Shot was only 150 yards but the wind was unreal today. The signs warning of extreme blow over hazard north of Laramie said gusts of 65+ mph and over by Wheatland where he got the antelope, said 55+ mph. Im guessing it was 30+ gusting to 45 when he shot; 90 deg cross wind.

After three years of not chambering a round, he gets two animals with two shots.

Thanks for the comments guys. Killing him was kinda bitter sweet. We had a ton of pictures of him. This is my favorite. It was not long after he had shed his velvet.

That is a old blind that we do not use. I shot him on a tall ridge just south of that food plot. That picture is just a beautiful shot of him with that old blind in the back ground. It would be a cool painting also.

No photo, but I got a big, fat doe at 115yds with my .300 Savage Model 99R.

Load is 150grn Hornady SST, 39.0grn IMR3031, Remington brass and Remington 9 1/2 LRP.

Got this one at 4:45pm on 12/9.

I'd also missed one earlier in the week.

I'm the one that got away. RAS almost got me, but I never crossed the fence. Who would want to shoot a little Hill Country buck like me, anyway ????

Congrats to all the ladies and men who tagged a deer this year. That buck of Coondawg's is truly great. You are gonna have to hunt a long time to top that. What a beauty.

Coondawg,

That is a hell of a buck!
