Great buck. I have inlaws near Smith (Hondo area, Conrads) and I hunt up that way once in a while. Around Fawcett lake and towards Slave lake on Sundays.
I took a buck closer to home (Rocky Mountain House) that I think was young and had poteitial to grow into a BIG buck in a couple of years. He is not the one I was waiting for.

Duffy's buck is very nice as well,,a couple more years he might have thickened up some.He is still way bigger than the bucks I have taken before last year though!!! GOOD JOB

The first BG animal I ever shot was a bull moose with a borrowed sav. 99 in .300 sav. I have owned a lot of rifles and shot a lot of game since then. But last year I piced up a .300 sav. 99 and have been using it since.
I might get a chance to go up to Smith this weekend to help my nephew get himself his first buck. He uses a sav. 99 in 250/3000.
Have a good one all.
