Just wondering what the rest of you guys are taking with you. I spent the week lining up my 99-375 (took a nice 8 point and a doe with it last year), my 99R in 358 and my 99R in 300 Sav. All good to go right now. Heading out tomorrow so hopefully I'll have some good pics for you guys at the end of next week. Gonna be down a guy this year, the camps getting smaller. At 9 guys now. My buddies dad had a stroke 2 months ago and has regained pretty much everything except the side of his face but still has a hard time getting around yet he still managed to fill his bull moose tag last month. Won't be climbing into any tree stands though. Anyways, hopefully this turns into a good thread, have fun guys, see ya when I get back, peace out!

.300 "G", and a .303 "T"...
Mike...
All said, the Savage 99 is a genius of a rifle. Although no longer produced, it remains highly revered, as it was the foundation from which Arthur Savage built one of America's great gun companies. >> (Jon Y. Wolfe) <<

Old Trusty must go.. 1945 99EG in 300. Then I think I'll take along a 1920 99C in 303, and might even try to get my new 1916 250-3000 out. 99T in 300 might make it out for does later in the year. That's the nice thing about having 6 permits, can exercise a few of the rats.

It's all bow and black powder this year... six deer between my partner and I. This one my partner took 20 minutes into the season at 7:09 AM on Oct. 1. We've been enjoying the pepperettes and salami/ summer sausage for a couple of weeks now.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h193/olgrouser/709Buck1.jpg)

My first year to use a 99. It will be 99F from 1959 in 300 savage with Weaver K4 post type scope. Will use my Savage 219 in 30-30 for a backup. Hope all of you have great success this season.

1899H in .22 HiPower. She's sighted in and raring to go. 70gr. Speers at 2800fps. Have to pick and choose my shots with this one but it'll do it.
Backups include the 99A in .30/30 w/K3 in Stith or custom Mauser "Guild gun" in .30/06 w/ K2.5 in Griffin&Howe QD Sidemount. The HiPower is the only one not blooded yet. I wonder how many critters it's accounted for during it's first 94yrs., before I got it 2yrs. ago.
Upon reflection I realized that every deer I killed in the last 20 yrs. has been with something built Pre-War. Shucks I don't even own a rifle newer than about 1955, including .22's. As an aside I've dropped a bunch of ducks this year with a 1924 vintage L.C.Smith. Old guns (and old guys!) rule.

After last years deluge on opening day, I bought a Tikka T3 stainless/synthetic 7mm-08. That will be the primary so I can 'blood' it. I was going to take my Ruger 270 as backup and leave the 358 Brush Gun at home but the Ruger is throwing shots all over the place so it looks like the 358 will be going along instead.

99 F (premil.) .358 Winchester as primary. Nikon scope, scope looks out of place but the K-4 El Paso Weaver crapped out this year. Hand load; 200 Grain Hornady spire point @2400 fps.
Marlin 30AW is wife's gun, straight stock with a Nikon Buckmaster on it. 150 gr. Winchesters
Back up is a Savage 110 synthetic in .270. Has the cheap scope but shoots good enough to go out to 200 yards. 115 gr. Managed Recoil Remingtons, gun REALLYlikes them, excellent groups.
