I forgot to add that the Savage Accutrigger is awesome. I'm like Horsedoctor in that all of my serious hunting rifles all have either modified factory or aftermarket triggers in them set to 2.75 lbs. You'll love the Accutrigger. As for the Savage Axis line, when they first came out, their...

We had a great time in Cozumel and I need to get some pics up, especially of Syd, Jacob, and my wife with the barracuda they caught! Since we've been back, I've had to get caught up at work and I've been sick all this week. For now, I have some exciting news. I received a call about 90 minutes...

The 30/378 is a great round, but I stay away from all of the Weatherby rounds. They can be hard to find, but they are also expensive as all get out. As for you choice of the Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16x50, that is exactly what I put on my daughter's rifle and what I plan to put on my "06. Leupold...

Reds on the fly is high on my bucket list! Where were you?

Right now, my top picks would be a Tikka or a Savage. I was a diehard Remington guy most of my life until a few years ago. Their quality seemed to falter and Savage made one heck of a run for quality. Savages are now one of the most accurate out-of-the-box rifles out there without paying the...

Those two are both pretty close in recoil and both are great choices. I have several friends who have both and you won't go wrong either way. I love listening to my friends talk about how their (insert cartridge) is better than the other one. If you are sensitive to the flinch, I highly...

This is like the Dodge/Ford/Chevy question. You'll get a slew of different answers depending on someone's preference. Go to a western-based hunting forum like Muley Madness or Coueswhitetail.com or a western-based Facebook hunting forum and you'll get probably 50 different answers as to what...

I thought I’d get one last journal entry of the year in, especially because its been a fairly exciting couple of weeks. Sydney’s MRI was two weeks ago tomorrow and her last physical therapy session was two weeks ago today. In that time, she’s shown significant improvement with her range of...

Wonderful news!! The MRI revealed no soft tissue damage! All ligaments, rotator cuff, and labrum are 100% intact!! The fall likely irritated the rotator cuff and bursa and, not knowing that, PT probably irritated it more, especially for almost 6 weeks. She should have been resting and icing...

Great buck and great story! Congrats!

Just remembered that I dropped the price here to $475. Great scope and barely used.

Nope. Not the same. I know the Story City area from my days doing rural water construction. Not the same area.

We finally got the draw results for next spring's hunts. Syd has her youth javelina tag for the last two weekends in January and I have my archery javelina tag during the first three weeks in January. Even with 19 bonus points, I still didn't get my Goulds tag. I know someone who got drawn...

That's absolutely awesome! "His family lives in central Iowa in a rural development along the banks of the skunk river." Its not Metz, is it?

Selling the scope that came on my son's new rifle. Its a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with BDC. I wanted the rifle, but not the scope since I had a good Vortex ready for him, but it was a package deal. I was going to mount it on his .22 for him, but realized the BDC reticle is too much/too busy for...

This just made my day, Craig! I've been offline for quite a while trying to get my daughter's injury squared away and praying for her recovery. Seeing this particular thread just gave me a good, needed smile! Congrats, buddy! As for the poison ivy, if its still an issue, use Tecnu. Or keep...

Its been a month now since the hunt first started and all we want to do is go back to it. Seeing a group of muley bucks in town last night didn't help. In the time since her hunt ended, I've been working on upgrading Syd's rifle. We had an issue with moisture and the matte finish on her...

Congrats on a great buck and great shot! All that practice paid off!

I've been offline for a while chasing my kids and dealing with life so I'm just now seeing this. As much as I hate that you cheer for the wrong team, its hard not to cheer for you and be excited for you, buddy! Congrats on all of the hard work paying off and a great buck!!

I was in the market for a new sight a few years ago and shopped and shopped and shopped and did even more research. Back then, I couldn't justify the price of the Spott Hogg to my wife, but my pro shop down here put me on to Black Gold. I'll have to look at what model it is, but it was a basic...
