Shot this doe yesterday with the 99K my dad passed down to me. My grandpa bought it new. One day I will pass it on to my son. The deer is not the biggest but it will always be special because it was the first for me with this fine gun.

May not be the biggest, but will eat better than the big ones. My kind of deer, easy to carry out, little waste and tender. Grandpa would be proud of that one. GW

Plan is to take her home to Pennsylvania in a little over a week to see what she can do up there! She might even recognize the old woods!

Nice photo! A lot more meat there than the unpunched Minnesota tag I got in my pocket! Enjoy!
