All:
My gun season starts next week hunting with another forum member here. Lets use this page to post our fall 2016 to winter 2017 kill page. I know David smoked that speed goat so hopefully he can start.
If you get something, post it up! Including small game with rimfire or shotgun ect, ect...

Our main rifle season starts on Nov.12th. Will be taking a 99F in 243, the 99F in 300, and maybe the 358 just for fun. Thanks to RAS for the 358 ammo and the 99F in 243. Posted previously as well. Sorry. Doe #1: 40 yard shot with Savage 99F in 300 Sav 180 grain silvertip, neck shot. Leupold M8 6X. Doe #2: The next morning, 100 yard shot, Savage 99EG in 358 Win 250 grain soft point, reloads. Shot too far back, but...Iron sights.

Our season doesn't start for another month.
I did have a decent buck in my cross hairs today, wishing it were a really big squirrel😈

My young friend Vince is a gourmet chef just getting into hunting for the meat so I took him out and showed him the ropes today. All he wanted was a meat buck so we really got lucky with a very big bodied forked horn. He shoots a Savage 110. I know I'm getting old and tired but it was all BOTH of us could do to drag this deer up out of a canyon pulling on 1-2-3. Bout killed us off! It's bigger bodied than most 4x4's I see. Thick brush, steep mountains! He's not a 99 guy yet, but he shot the powdercated 99F .358 today and had a ball blowing up rocks at 150 yards. I have it zeroed at 50, on again at 150. At 250 it's down 10-12" but deadly accurate. Rocks don't stand a chance. He loved it and I could see the wheels begin spinning. He's hooked he just doesn't know it yet. I'll let him shoot a 250, that should do it.

Looks like we could use some white meat on this post. Here's a Michigan grouse taken with a 1935 Savage Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge.

Yup, this is his third season. He has turned into the best bird dog I've ever owned. If I could shoot as good as he points I'd be eating grouse every Sunday.

Rod,
Thanks for posting some upland game. I was hoping to see some feathers on this thread. We need to get some rabbits and waterfowl on here as well. An elk or moose would be super cool. If we are really lucky, maybe a bear.
