Me and my Savage 99 1957 F got the job done Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 I had the .308 loaded with some Barnes TSX 165 grain handloads when he strolled by at about 60 yards. I hit him with the first shot and he bucked and ran about 5 yards and stopped so I hit him again. Field dressing him his heart was blown into 4 pieces so he wasn't going far. Decent 11 point, not bad for my area. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/3JtQ91gQ/IMG-0988-Medium.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/rsq7NRsp/IMG-3248-Medium.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/85Rqvm13/IMG-0989-Medium.jpg)
Grammar is important.

Nice buck.
As with any deer that's hit but on its feet, if possible I put as much lead in em as I can. Hate tracking and dragging.
A little episode with my buck su day had me trying to get a nother bullet to him but with super thick brush I elected not to make a bunch of racket. Just let him bed up, keep the gun on him and a few minutes later he took the long nap.
Way to get it done up there.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
