UPDATE: looks like I got the links to photobucket added to the post.

The result is a well balanced rifle that is very maneuverable in close quarters.

I wasn't going to post this because it doesn't count if you don't have photos. I shot a yearling cow elk in the head on Monday. It was so ugly I didn't take any photos. The ivories disappeared in the catastrophe. I had aimed at the neck just behind the head. I had switched to the 300 Weatherby because we hadn't been able to get close enough to the elk for the last couple weeks for any Savage 99 cartridge. The shot was at 300 plus yards. David

Ditto!

Our season just opened last weekend. Two days of hunting yielded a passel of does, nothing with horns. Back out again this Fri-Sun, if this bloody rain stops.

Nice job David. Since I don't own any magnum cartridge rifles anymore, I'd have to do that with a 99 in 284. I think it'd work fine.

Last Monday and Tuesday, in WV, saw 0 deer. This Monday saw 2 flags, and 2 small baldies at over 200 yards. Have permission to hunt one day on a friends farm. My BIL works there and has a pic on his cell of the biggest deer I have ever seen. I don't think one person could put their arms around it's neck. It's a giant fork that is way, way outside it's ears with massive brow tines. Six point or 3X3. Have to work Saturday, so that cuts into chances, Joe.


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Oh, Gary, John shot two nice bucks with his crossbow, and two more with shotgun. Four deer in 5 days, Joe.

The 284 works too. I killed an elk with mine two years ago. I didn't have any ammo loaded for it so took the 300 Wby which also gives me the option of taking an elk out to 400 yards. Good luck to all you guys who haven't filled your licenses yet. David

Roy, I saw more deer than you, 4 of them rascals. My highlight was the patch of black fur on my phone pole where a bear scratched his back, Joe.
