Whitetail with family heirloom rifle

[Bhoesl]

I shot a whitetail this morning, not huge, but a decent buck. The best thing about it was the rifle I used. This model 99, 300 savage was bought new in 1947 by my great grandfather and passed down through generations. 2 years ago my uncle (who was more like a father to me) passed on and I ended up with the rifle. This was my first season hunting with it.
150gr Nosler Partition. 110 yards.

Nice work! Keeping tradition alive, that means more and more these days.
