A Match made in Heaven?
She's a vegetarian. He's a hunter. You would think the two of them would never work - but, surprisingly, here they were on the dance floor sharing their first dance as husband and wife. I was intrigued. Of the two people mentioned above, I only know the vegetarian - and, honestly, I don't know her very well.  I was still intrigued, though, and not because she's a vegetarian - anyone w...
First signs of Fall
As I walked behind the mower last week, I saw them - brown, green, crisp and dead - laying there in the mower's path; they were the first visible signs that fall is almost upon us. I realize that Labor Day isn't even here yet, but the dead leaves laying in the yard, the yellowing of the beans and corn, as well as the lower morning temps, are a sure sign that fall will be here soon. This time...
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...

Local Trophy Room

Posted By: Arthur on November 7, 2007 in Hunting, Local Organizations - Comments: 2 Comments »

This post is strictly about promotion.  A little while back I put up a post that promoted one of my friend’s local Michigan based outdoor website.  The MichiganOutdoorguide.com is an awesome resource for local outdoors(man and woman) to find area businesses that can help with outdoor related activities.The site originally started as a way for Michiganders to find local deer processors, bait shops, and taxidermists, but has since expanded into being an all encompassing resource for everything outdoors in Michigan. 

This particular post is mainly to plug one new feature of the site.  That feature is the Trophy Room.  We are looking for local trophies from Michigan to be submitted to the site so that they can be featured on the site and also be available for other hunters, and non-hunters alike, to enjoy.  The site features a searchable database so not only will you be able to find trophies in Michigan, but will also be able to search for trophies by your particular county.  The problem is that we need people to submit their trophies (trophy is in the eye of the beholder I might add).  For now the site is strictly looking for deer shot in 2007, but it is possible as time goes on that this will expand.  For now though we ask that only ’07 trophies be submitted.

I’m not trying to alienate my faithful readers from other states, but I have to support my own and this is one way of doing that.  For those of you who are from Michigan (Kristine, Mike) please help me spread the word and get this information out there so that all of us can enjoy a few local trophies from our neighborhoods.

  1. I’ve been meaning to go check this site out. I’ll go take a look.

  2. Just wanted to say I did my part and wrote a post on the GSI blog spotlighting some Michigan bloggers. One of the ones I forgot to mention was Claude Pollington. I did spotlight some of the others though.
