I caught up with this Old Boy on November 26th in a big pasture.
Shot was 225 yards with my old Remington 722 in 300 Savage.

Oh my! That's a dandy buck.
Congrats!

Nice buck, Sharps1874!

Great buck! The mass is incredible. Congrats

Yep; that one is a tank! Looks like the old 300 did the trick. Congrats.

Good buck!

Mighty fine gun and buck, congrats.

Wow!

Nice buck!

Congrats on that buck.

Wow!! Picture #2 really shows how nice a buck he is. If I'm not mistaken you still have a vintage Redfield on your Rem 722.....you really hold onto stuff. If it works it works...the proof in your pictures.

Yes, the scope is a Redfield 6X "Bear Cub" with a thin wire and dot. The Old girl has killed it's share of Deer and Elk, never felt undergunned or scoped using this rig. Just have to know it's limitation.....get closer!!

Congrats on a real nice Buck. That's some fine shooting at 225yds

Cool rifle and a heck of a buck - congrats on both accounts!

Great buck. Congratulations

Wow Great Buck! Nice rifle,and Scope! Classic cartridge too!

Thick and wide.. Same way I like my women.. 😃

Great looking buck!

Well done ... and with a .300 Savage. I've known several hunters who've killed a lot of deer and elk with a .300 Savage.

Nice 👍

Cool pm me a smart phone number and I'll send you a picture of the one I shot in sully....mb

That a hoss for sure….where you hit him/exit? I got couple old Redfields in 3x9…one is over 40 years old clear as a bell. Killed one few years back with it on my 308 at over 300 yds.

Mass city! Great work great deer!

I sent you a PM.
Do you live in South Dakota?


He came off of a Cottonwood top and was skirting a hillside, when he stopped he was facing me head on.
Shot was at the base of the neck. He dropped at the shot. I did not recover my bullet (150 grain Nosler Ballistic tip hand load).
Distance was measured with my range finder a couple days later from what was left of the gut pile (coyotes) to a round bale across a draw that I was sitting beside to break up my silhouette. As you know, deer can only see in black and white…………………and orange!!!

Dandy buck!

That's a nice buck!

Beauty of a a buck! What is the spread?

Stud of a deer...

Great buck! South Dakota will probably be flooded with out of state hunters next year.

19 inches

Nice take there!

Nice buck, congratulations.

Nice deer and rifle. Congratulations.

Nice…real nice

Enjoyed your post. Congratulations

Excellent!! Nice 722!

Looks more like a Moose ! Nice palmated antlers. Congrats !

PS Neat old 722 and caliber.

That's a good one! Congratulations.

That's a great buck. Something to be said for hunting with good gear. Big deer are often where you find them but being able to make the shot like you did brings it all together.

Not likely the GFP don't piss in the potted palms by letting East River non-resident rifle deer tags go...

Nice rifle great buck fantastic state congrats!

We should let people know that this is very rare for South Dakota. We usually have bucks that rival coues deer with even smaller bodies. They taste horrible and there are very very few out there.

Congrats on a dandy! 😁👍

Outstanding deer. Congratulations

Nice............

Great buck!!

After talking to our warden friend last week, he said there are very few out there. Said they took a big hit the last few years.

Congrats!
