Morning hunt was a bust, but afternoon hunt paid off big. 99R 300 Savage, Barnes 130 ttsx. Spotted this buck at 1/2 mile, sized him up, then John made a great stalk to within 75 yards while I watched and guided him in from 1/2 mile away. Took quite a while, had no gear with us, so it was a mile drag back to the rig. Just finished the skinning and cleanup, 11:15 pm, off to bed. Thought you guys would like this one. Sorry for the crappy cell phone photos, like I said, we had no gear with us. Turned out to be a 5x7, but a young deer.

John and I are both die hard Savage 99 hunters. After a nights sleep, I'm feeling like a very old man this morning. But I'm so happy for my buddy. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

It truly was a great stalk uphill a 1/2 mile right into his bed. These big blacktails are nobodys dummy, but John beat the odds. This is Johns first big blacktail, he's always just taken legal bucks to feed his family. He's been itching for a big one the last couple years but his job gives him no time to hunt. And this is his first hunt with this 99R. He's always shot his grandpas 99EG, which is a real old gray rat with a split forearm, but's been gettin it done for decades. After this springs 18 year old boar, and now this buck, we've had some great hunts together. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL
