Walks: Getting Outside Anyway We Can
Sure, a lot of the sidewalks are a muddy mess, and a few of them are quite treacherous - ice-covered and very slick from the snow that has melted during the day and then re-froze at night.  But that hasn't kept the wife, Abby, or myself from enjoying a walk the last couple evenings. It's interesting this time of the year as well.  On one end it's great to see the snow disappearing and the sta...
Michigan’s Changing of the Seasons
I walked out the back door yesterday afternoon - to take out the trash - and I was promptly met by spring.  This weekend the weather has been unbelievable, especially considering that we were ice fishing just last weekend; we hit the 50 degree mark yesterday, and we're supposed to be in the high 40's, low 50's all week this week.  So much for ice fishing, I guess. What I experienced this week...
SOTV: New Youth Video
Head on over to SimpyOutdoors TV and check out the new video we posted. During Michigan's Early Anterless Season last year, Jeff and Tyler G. did their best to fill Tyler's first tag. This early season allowed Tyler to experience all the emotions that come with hunting - the feeling that comes with missing, and then the elation that comes with.........well you'll just have to watch to find out...
A Short Rant
I'm angry!  And that could be the main reason for this post.  I was going to write it last night, but I wanted to think on it for a night first and see if I still felt the same way in the morning........and I do. The long and short of this post is this:  It would be nice if some of our lawmakers, local authority figures, judges, and special interest groups didn't worry so much about "endange...
SOTV: Another New Video
This video features some highlights from a hunt that Jeff and his son, Tyler, went on last year.  They definitely have some close encounters, but you'll have to watch to see if Tyler fills his tag or not. I just love seeing the kids involved in the outdoors.  It's too cool! Click the picture to watch.

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!
