Huntin’ Time Expo/My Lack of Posts
It's absolutely no secret that I've been neglectful of this blog lately. Some evidence: I never posted a few of the deer that Justin shot. I didn't post anything about Jeff, Barry, Erin, and Josh heading down to the ATA show in Columbus a little over a week ago. And I've never posted anything about the fact that SimplyOutdoors TV will be airing on the Pursuit Channel starting in January 2...
End of Deer Season: Maybe I Stink
Last night I cleaned my muzzleloader.  And though I usually love the feeling that comes with cleaning any firearm, last night's cleaning kind of depressed me a little, because it was a sure sign that another deer season had passed and that I had once again went through an entire season without putting any venison in the freezer. As I was cleaning and reflecting back on the last couple of seaso...
Bittersweet Hunt: The Rest of the Story
In my previous post, I eluded to the fact that my miss last Sunday morning was only the beginning of a very memorable morning.  Here is the "rest of the story". After my miss, it was still only a little after 8am, so Jeff and I decided that we might as well stick it out for a little while and see if any other deer decided they wanted to eat out of his food plot. And that is when the weirdne...
Bittersweet Hunt
Though I had only been able to hunt a handful of times, the fact remained that I hadn't laid eyes on a deer since around October 8th.  It was making it pretty difficult to head into the woods, because I honestly wasn't sure if I was ever going to see a deer again; I was starting to wonder if I had a deer whistle permanently embedded within my body that was preventing them from coming within a hal...
Another Deer for Jeff
While I don't have much to celebrate when it comes to deer hunting, after tonight I can bask in at least one thing:  that I told Jeff about Hornady SST's, and that, because of my wisdom, Jeff was able to put down this big doe without fear of his bullet coming apart. Congrats to Jeff.  Welcome to the dark side, and say goodbye to Powerbelts.    

Urbanized Turkeys

Well just to prove that the National Wild Turkey Federation has done it’s job with reintroducing the Wild Turkey back into Michigan, my brother took this footage at his house.

I won’t name the city, but I will say that he lives only blocks away from downtown, and this city has a very good population.  I could not believe my eyes when I saw the video.  Simply amazing. I’m sure everyone will enjoy.

Don’t you think after watching that that maybe my niece has hung around her older brothers too long.  For those of you who have a problem with her having a toy gun, if you pay attention, she doesn’t shoot when she can’t identify her target, and she also consistently points the gun in a safe direction!!!  HEHE.  Love it.

    That is some great footage, and it’s good to see a young lady so excited about thinning the turkey population…

    Jeff,

    Thanks for commenting. I hope she does take up hunting when she gets older. I thought it was pretty cute that she went and got the gun herself and brought it out.

    Starting ‘em young. Great stuff.

    We used to get flocks of turkeys around our office complex all the time. It’s wooded and our offices border on an open field, but there are a lot of buildings in the industrial park and lots of traffic. Didn’t seem to bother the turkeys a bit.

    As for your niece, she’s adorable and that footage is priceless. It’s also good to see she’s learning gun safey early. Too cute!
