My two cousins from out of state came to the ranch to hunt deer this year. The first day of the season I guided them to a couple of nice bucks and later in the afternoon managed to get one myself. Pretty unusual for three hunters to all get a buck on the same day around here and thought it made for a nice picture some of you might enjoy. From left to right: my buck, cousin Ron�s buck, cousin Craig�s buck. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rapidnet.com/~twarren/pictures/IMG_0696_1_1.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rapidnet.com/~twarren/pictures/IMG_0699_3_1.JPG) My buck where he dropped. Savage EG in 243 with Leupold 2x7. The gun is factory drilled and tapped for scope, or so I assume with the �SAVAGE 99 MODEL� stamped on the side of the receiver ring. Would like to be able to brag on a long difficult running shot, but he was standing broadside at only 100 yards and dropped at the shot just behind the front shoulder. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rapidnet.com/~twarren/pictures/Fall_2010%20002-trimmed_1_1.jpg) Bullet recovered from the off side just under the skin. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rapidnet.com/~twarren/pictures/IMG_0701_1_1.JPG)

Nice goin'Griz. Someday I hope to shoot a Mulie like the one you got. I had the good fortune to shoot a 150 class whitetail in Missouri this year, so I ain't complaining.

That's a great day's hunting. Great deer, and a very cool rifle.

When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Griz, you know a .243 won't reliably kill a big deer! What're you trying to pull here anyhow?
(Great buck, even if we all know you REALLY used a .310 WhizWhop Magnum with a 19x44 variable scope and integral radar rangefinder, and titanium/iridium bullets that cost $7.48@.....)

Dear Griz, it would appear that I am your long lost son, I would be interested in meeting you next hunting season....Don't worry I'll bring some beer and a Savage 99. I haven't seen mass on our deer around here like that for years. Nice Bucks!

Those are some nice Bucks Griz. And killed with a plain old bullet, whoda thunk?
