Guy I actually am trying to fix/solve/experiment with this exact issue right now on my Alaskan in 338wm.
I love wood stocks. I love wood stocks. I love wood stocks. I love everything about them. The warmth, feel, look, character, scratches, history, etc...
I took a blank and inletted it...
Thanks everyone. This hunt really did mean alot to me. Back in 1998 or 1999 I made a promise to myself that one day I would go on a 100% Wilderness hunt for elk. It was supposed to be in Alaska or Canada, but New Mexico will have to do for now. I was 24 years old when I made that bucket...
Nice Howard! Stack em like cord wood!
Deer do act funny that is for sure. I remember my first bow buck... way back in 1995. I took a 20 yard shot right at last light. He jumped once... started wagging his tail, looked around and tipped over..

Well I made it back. Here goes nothing.
Day one: Oct 9th. Day before season.
Left the house at 545am and drove over to my friends house who was going to go along for the first three days. He had already tagged a 350 inch bull down in the Gila Wilderness two weeks before so he was along...

Thanks guys.
Dr. Mike the muzzleloader season opens up on Oct 10 and runs through the 14. I am heading up on the 9th. I have two guys up there right now with Archery tags and when they return to the land of cell phone signal, I should have some pretty good intel. On the 5th they both...
Well I went out and shot the TC Prohunter one last time:
a. To verify the 115gr of Blackhorn and 350 gr Kodiaks in MMP orange sabots.
b. To move back to 200 to figure out the drop with the ballistic reticle of the Burris scope.
When I left the range last time, I was about an inch low at...
Most memorable shot on big game is probably my first. Whitetail doe running full bore at 20 yards. Pulled up the 12 gauge 870 and nailed her clean at the apex of the jump. She was HUUUGE! Or so I thought... it actually was a fawn, maybe 40 pounds dripping wet. I dressed her myself using a...
