Sponsor On-Board
It's been one heck of a month here at SimplyOutdoors, and it just keeps getting better.  I'm very proud and pleased to announce that we have our first sponsor - Cottage Craft Works. Cottage Craft Works make all kinds of unique things - hand-made furniture, fishing lures, custom gun stocks, toys and, of course, my personal favorite, hunting calls.  They make box calls, slate calls, owl hoots, ...
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...

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.
