Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...
First Show
The SimplyOutdoors' crew had a great time over the weekend - we got to converse with quite a few local Michigan residents, and we had a great time doing so.  It's always fun sharing stories with local hunters - and it was even fun talking with the non-hunters. We were definitely happy to see the weather hold out for us, too.  There was a chance of thunderstorms throughout the entire day, but,...

Urbanized Turkeys

Posted By: Arthur on September 26, 2007 in Videos - Comments: 4 Comments »

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!
