My son is 9. This is his second season. He shot a 1.5 y/o last year. We have been out once so far. Going this weekend if the weather allows. A big part of it for me is he needs to put the work in all year or he doesn’t get to participate. Part of the problem is dad does all the work all year...

When I was in high school a friend and I walking to a spot we used to fish on the Mississippi River In Dubuque county. A rattle snake was on the two track. We didn’t see it. About 6 or 7 feet away it coiled up and we heard the rattle. It wasn’t backing away. We ended up not fishing that afternoon.

Anybody in the Oskaloosa/Sigourney area that can report what you’ve got? I was there a month ago and it was really dry. I used the website that doesn’t work as well anymore. I’ve been following closely but like so many places some of the storms pop up out of nowhere, gain/lose strength or...
