For me I've taken a couple of mule deer and a handful of yotes.I've been packing during moose season but without a LEH it's a tough hunt in my area.Maybe this year.
Calibre's used so far .308,.300 and .22 hp.I'm going to pack my .250 for deer season this year.

Taken Whitetails with my 99's in 308, 300 Sav and 375 Win.
The 99-375 is coming with me this year in moose season to.
Got the 99C in 22-250 all lined up for yotes but haven't had a chance to get out and really call one in.
Thinking about trying one of my 38-55's for black bear this fall.

Just whitetails so far for me. If I ever draw a bear tag or one of those rare Michigan elk tags, I'd likely grab one of my 99s in .300. The rifle I use most is my rainy day gun (and it seems to be raining a lot the last few seasons),a gray-rat 99R in .300 Savage.

A couple of whitetails (1 buck) and 196 pound (dressed) black bear with 300. Tried iron sight 303 Sav for the bear but too dark in cedar swamp stand for iron sights... Most game with bow these days so Savages not getting their due in the field!

Deer and a squirrel (don't ask!) w/ 99A .30/30. Red Fox w/ 1899H .22HP.
Does shooting the sh*t count? If so, a whole bunch of Savage loonies on the internet!
