Really enjoyed seeing those myself. I read the story on that #14 mega buck that the guy in the black hat gunned with a .300 Savage M99 and I wanted one of those (the buck and the gun) ever since. I only have the M99 so far. What an animal that thing is!!! I sure would like to reread that story again. I think that it was in a North American Whitetail magazine years ago.
My other auto is a .45

Pretty incredible. I'd like to know how many inches some of those were. Those guys back then probably never measured any of them. The elk was awesome.

There's one I sure WISH I had a video of. When I was a baby, in '49, my folks were living on a ranch in so. Idaho. Dad was working on the ranch and Mom was teaching school nearby. One evening, Dad walked down to the creek and saw a forky standing in the water. He had a pretty good arm and he threw a rock at it. It dodged but didn't move. Dad threw a couple more and the dumb deer kept dodging them but still didn't run. Then something distracted the deer and Dad hit it right behind the eye, knocking it out cold. He didn't have a knife so he dragged it to a fence and tied it to a post with his belt.
Dad returned to the ranch and got a gun and a knife. Several other men laughed but went along to see this phantom deer he got with a rock. When they got there, it was awake and kicking but the belt held until Dad could shoot it. He had plenty of help dragging it back to the ranch.

Obviously there were periods of plenty back in the past and hunting was a norm. Also years where if one simply saw a track it made the paper. Wonder what those market deer tasted like being hauled about with the jacket on for several days?
