Have no experience of the Savage but...
Have you ever tried lifting the tail of a taildragger? After having tried it you should then imagine the effect of your weight, and then imagine how strong the wind would have to be to lift the tail.
By the time the wind gets that strong you'll probably be having problems crosswind and your aircraft should be safely tied down or in a hangar.
Appreciate also that the inverted v of the tailplane with the stick fully back makes a rough airfoil section which would produce a down force if it had any appreciable effect.
Good practice, however, dictates that the stick should be neutral or just forward of neutral so that the effect on the top surface maintains a down force or the propwash doesn't create a significant up force.
This is as much to maintain directional control as to keep the tail down.
The first symptom of insufficient tail down force will be reduced directional control. Some tailwheels require lifting to get them to castor.
