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.

Non-hunting Week

Posted By: Arthur on November 4, 2007 in Ramblings - Comments: 2 Comments »

I’ve been kind of a slacker lately with the site and with posting the hunting logs.  Quite honestly it has been because the deer movement has been non-existent for me.  I’m not sure what happened.  Apparently someone flipped off the switch.

I’ve been going over in my head, about a thousand times, all the places that we have stands and where the best location would be for the chase phase.  I think one of the best spots we have for the rut is the spot that I sat tonight and still it just didn’t work out.  I don’t know why.  I was starting to think that maybe we over hunted the property a little in the last week and that could have something to do with it.  Time will tell.

There is no use in debating on whether I need to give the property some time off or not, because this week with the time change, I can’t hunt after work anyway, so there won’t be any hunting for me until next Saturday.  I’m looking forward to it, and with the new moon that should be in effect, I am anticipating the hunt like crazy.  Eventually my luck has to turn around.  Doesn’t it???

I have vacation all next week so hopefully with me being able to put some serious time in the woods I can catch a little break and turn this thing around.  I have my first morning spot picked out already and if that doesn’t work by early afternoon I’m switching to a stand that has been sitting dormant for quite some time.

Bottom line-hopefully this non-hunting week turns into some serious action next week.  Lets hope so!

  1. I’ll cross my fingers about next week. It does look like it is going to get colder and possibly snow, so that could help.

    Come back deer! Arthur needs a buck!
