    Dolly Varden on a fly???

    I've fished Dolly Varden in POW lakes and had good success on rooster tail spinners. I'm headed back this August and want to try fly fishing. Any suggestions on type and size of Flys? Would they even work in August. I just bought my first fly rod last summer. Thanks.

    Venison back strap recipe?

    so I usually cut my back straps 1 1/2 inch thick and fry in a pan with bacon and onion. While out in Nebraska I shot a deer smaller than we judged. Yes a yearling. Instead of cutting these small back straps up, I was wondering about grilling them on my pellet grill. Grill the entire back straps...

    Doc's 2020 turkeys

    Well, between taking the youth hunters out I actually got out turkey hunting here in Iowa. I actually sat in the same blind that Isabell shot her bird. My hunt was 2 weeks earlier. Only thing to tell is that I hunted these birds twice before with a young lady. Day #1 we called and birds went...

Also between a lever action (probably legal in all states) vs. a Bushmaster AR (maybe NOT legal in some...
