Hi all, after seeing Fishdog52's moose post, I realized we need a 2018 Savage Kill Page. So I will kick it off, here are a couple pics of Saturday's Wyo Speed Goat hunt, with my grandpa's 1949 vintage 99 EG in 300 Savage. About 125 yds, 1 shot kill using a Redfield 70LH peep and a Lyman gold bead front. Looking forward to seeing more 2018 harvest pics! Many thanks to deerstalker for helping me post the images. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/81238.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/81239.jpg)

Dark Oregon timber, such that you can't use sights? Heaven forbid! Mayhaps it's time to move.

Here's what it looks like thru a peep sight- ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/fy0HzQl.jpg)  Apologies to the OP. I tend to get off track. Nice job hunting that goat handicapped with a peep sight! I couldn't have done it! Whoops, I did it again.

I guess my eyes are better than yours. You see a black square, I'm sure, but I see Betty White in a bikini sitting on a log.

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

We ought to organize a Savage Forum antelope hunt sometime. 99's only (and M1920's and Super Sporters, I guess), iron sights only like Northwesthunter did. (Roy can use a scope, because, well, he's old).
Can we get a group discount for, say, ten guys? ("On the count of three we all shoot.")

Antelopes or cranky old Savage guys? Probably six of the former and two of the latter. We might need Joe's chain saw to make them fit in the Saab.

Antelope season lasts to Halloween. If there are any area 87 licences left you guys can come here. Otherwise apply for them for the 2019 season. I can get three elk in the back of my Dodge 2500 so probably about 6 or 8 goats. But you can't take it back to Maryland. David

Opened this thread expecting to see several of this years Savage kills. All there is the OP's antelope hunt pic, all the rest is hot air from the usual windbags. Topic drift as usual, oh well.

You know what gunwhizz, go away and come back when there's more hunting activity. Those of us back East won't be getting into the deer woods for another month or two, so be patient. I'm sure there will be lots of dead stuff for your viewing enjoyment in due time. Meanwhile, so what if the thread goes astray for a bit. It's all in good fun- something you so seldom seem capable of!
And lighten up while you're at it. You can be a (humorless) windbag yourself, dontcha know!!!

Where's your kill? I must have missed it. Really have enjoyed your contribution to the thread tho, carry on.
