    Savage customer service frustration

    I’d like to share my recent experience with savage and also vent a little. In early February I purchased a new Stevens 301 20 gauge for my son’s first turkey hunt. After I got home I remove the rail to clean the oil from the rail and screws. After I got it all cleaned up I put blue loctite on...

    Favorite mounts

    What is your favorite or best mount in your collection? This is my favorite, a New Mexico buck I got several years ago. The taxidermist did a great job. The shed was found while packing this buck out. I made the cedar pedestal the mount is on.

    Flat Tops weather outlook

    Does anyone who lives in the area have a weather report for the flat tops? It looks like a winter storm is coming in this weekend. What are the local reports projecting for snow? How about sheep mountain? Any snow on top yet? Thank you!

    NM 2’s, January archery

    I drew a January archery tag for one of the 2’s. I’ve rifle hunted the 2’s a few years ago and was able to take an upper 160’s buck. Now, that hunt was in October and the weather on this archery hunt will be considerably different. I am wondering if anyone could give some general advice on...

    Fall mountain bear hunt, worth it?

    Long and short, I struck out on a deer tag I thought was a guarantee. Now I have set vacation in early October and don’t have a tag. Has anyone done a fall bear specific hunt? I know many states have OTC tags, so I’d have choices. I’m worried they may be nocturnal or in the thick brush were...

    SWFA, what’s the deal?

    I had a 2021 model fixed 6x take a dump on an elk hunt last fall. It was returned to be exchanged in October and I still have not received a replacement. Every time I contact them, they have no timeframe on when scopes will be in stock. What’s the deal? Is this a supply chain issue, or did...

    US wall tent stove options?

    Ok, I purchased a Davis 14x16 tent, which should hopefully be here in 7-8 weeks. Now I need to buy a stove to pair with it. I’ve looked at the Davis stoves, Colorado cylinder stoves and Utah cylinder stoves. Are there any other companies to consider? It seems 4 dog doesn’t have anything but...

    Reliable brand wall tents?

    Do any of you run a reliable brand wall tent? I’ve read reviews on their aluminum internal frames, but can’t find much information on their wall tents. It seems like the included features are pretty nice and prices are comparable to other companies. So, who has one and what do you and don’t...

    Bow case, too small?

    Just got a Plano hard case for an upcoming trip, which I’m flying to. I didn’t realize how tight a fit my bow would be inside this case. I have about 1/4” clearance on each side of the cam. Is this too tight? I’m assuming during air travel the cams may hit the sides of the case during...

    AZ site confusion

    Is it just me, or is the Arizona fish and game website garbage? I've never navigated such a complex and difficult portal to apply or purchase licenses. It is quite frustrating that you need to open different links to buy licenses and to apply for draw permits. I cant be the only one to have...

    euro help

    I just got my elk skull back from the taxidermist. I got it hung up using a large skull hooker. Everything went well, but I am not happy with the look. To me, it seems that the skull is really far from the wall, almost awkward looking. Is there a way to mount an elk skull more flush to the...
