Savage in Florida??? #3736230 01/29/10 Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 151 MIAMI,FL. D DEERHUNTER58 OP Campfire Member OP DEERHUNTER58 Campfire Member D Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 151 MIAMI,FL. Sorry-- just rambling. Anybody know anybody that does anything with Savage in South Fl.? The gun shows here are lucky to even have a gun chambered in a Savage caliber. Nobody knows nadda. I might have to put on the miles and see a Savage-Fest!

(I do keep some guns here, more suited to dealing with the mobs from your hometown when the food wars start)

I WILL retire elsewhere. Get the heck out of this hell hole. I do love the fishing, but the hunting is getting tough in the Glades, actually the fishing is going that way also. Jack

You can hunt them, but with harpoon or bowfishing tackle. I've killed a bunch thru the years, even got fined for killing a female on a male only hunt! Guess I could dr. a photo and put a 99 in there.

It's a carbine in pretty good shape. I only have one other 99, but was thrilled to find this one.

As for Hunting, your correct, there is no where to go except on Lease Land or Wildlife Management areas. But we do have a lot of Ranges here to play at. accuracy and efficiency -- not to mention having the best, most durable and advanced rifle possible."

Yes, but once I've achieved accuracy I want to use that rifle to shoot deer not targets. I'd rather hunt than F***. After 52 years in Miami I'm ready to get out, and back around normal Americans that want to be Americans. I might have to cross the Mason-Dixon line!

After 57 years of cold weather, I'm ready to head to Florida. Trade you places?! The heck with deer, I'll be just as happy sporting around with scantily clad women on sunny beaches!
