    Best way to cook dove

    Bacon wrapped jalapeño dove poppers on the grill are pretty good. I usually use half or one breast per popper depending on the size of the pepper. Just cut the pepper in half, remove seeds, put some cream cheese and dove breast in pepper and wrap in bacon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PA Guys

    Some areas south of 80 may have higher bear numbers but those 4 counties consistently have high bear harvest numbers so there must be a high population.

    PA Guys

You will probably have a much better chance of shooting one in Lycoming, Clinton, Potter, or Tioga. Those 4 counties make up about 21% of the 2016 harvest and...

    Irish setter 860 elk tracker

    I've used two different pairs of Elk Trackers for about 8 years in PA but never in Colorado. They held up very well and were comfortable but they are heavy. I switched to Kenetreks last spring and it is a night and day difference. The Kenetreks are much lighter and much more support. Hope this...
