    What is Trophy Hunting?

    Was kicking back watching a show with my wife after the kiddos were in bed last night and we got to admiring the shoulder mount of her bull. That led us to reminiscing about the hunt... very little time, new unit, first year of marriage... we set goals before the season began (she wanted a 330+...

    Good for you! Vacay's are killers for routine but necessary for mental health.

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    Sorry man but that's just a vacation, not a hunt. My in-laws, who don't hunt, cannot understand why my wife and I plan ALL of our trips/vacations around either hunts or fishing trips. Life's too short to take "vacations" without hunting or fishing in them.

    Help me decide. Model 7 caliber change.

    Understood but my thinking was more along the lines of a fun rebarrel project and doing something different. There's not a deer on the planet that can tell the difference between any of the above mentioned cartridges.

    Help me decide. Model 7 caliber change.

    My choice would be the 7mm-08 BUT... a 6.5 Creed rebarrel would be excellent as well. Tons of factory loadings and a superb balance of performance vs. recoil in a small rifle. The 7mm-08 and 308 in the model 7 platform can produce surprisingly stiff recoil, especially for smaller shooters. The...

    Dog issue

    He needs to be let out more plain and simple... consider going home for a lunch if possible or arranging for someone to let him out during the day. 8 hours is too long for any kind of puppy to be cooped up.

    Sleep is by far the most overlooked aspect of getting in shape! If you're not sleeping well or enough then nothing else will fall into place. Slippery, wet snow kept me off the stadium stairs this morning... Stair-master HIIT (15 minutes) scheduled for lunch today and then some KB HIIT (15...
