    350 legend and saddle makes a deadly combination

    This weekend is the opening weekend for gun season. At the end of last season I bought a CVA scout 350 legend and topped it with a Leupold CDS 3x9 scope. When I say this thing is a tack driver, I'm not exaggerating. I figured out that the gun loves the 180 grain bullets from winchester...three...

    Looking for a gambrel system similar to the pack and pull but with a gambrel/spreader. Something that can fit in my pack and I can use it to break the deer down or simply assist with gutting.

    Backing up my device.

    I think I like this device (FX I think) and just to be safe I back it up with a swabisch hitch. Easy to come down…just like the added benefit of a backup. Waiting all day in the stand. I can feel the pressure dropping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The warmest boots

    Hey everyone, Last night I hunted from 6 am to end of shooting light where I killed a doe at the end of the day. I spent all day in 20-23 degree weather with a 30 mph wind. I hunted on the ground because I just dont feel like I should have to hug the tree all day. I have a hill that I went...

    4 year drought ended

    After both shoulder surgerys, and one knee surgery...my hunting was limited to say the least. An opportunity to connect with a deer with archery just did not happen. This morning was basically a dumpster fire of one thing after another. My hunting spot is an hours drive...when I left there...

    .350 legend ballistics question

    With the passing of Illinois HB 4386 and going to the senate, I think I've narrowed down my choice of my next weapon as a .350 legend as a single shot rifle. I priced the current ammo supply as well as seeing the max range of 250+ yards. I'm currently looking at the CVA .350 as it is less than...
