Lack of Respect
With the new day breaking, I walked the bank of the Pere Marquette, looking for my first honey hole of the morning.  It was beautiful – the sun’s rays bouncing off the banks, bringing new life to the early spring forage - but, as I walked along, something on the trail ahead caught my eye. WTF? A beer can.  And another beer can.  I hate trash! It amazes me as to how little respect s...
First Hawaiian Island Adventure
For those of you that regularly follow Simply Outdoors'  blog you know that I recently relocated to Hawaii. It has been a hectic and crazy summer to say the least, but I did finally get to experience my first "island edition" outdoor excursion recently. Words and pictures probably won't give the experience its due justice, but here it goes anyways. The day trip was planned to consist of a hike...
Another Mounted Buck for Justin
Our SimplyOutdoor Pro Staffer, Justin, had a great deer season last year.  And if you need to be reminded as to how "great" it was, you can click here. But, even though all of us completely remember how great his season was, and because Justin is the complete jerk that he is, he likes to send pictures months after the season in order to continue to rub it in. The picture in this post is of ...
Primal Thoughts
The corn is shoulder high, farmers are harvesting their wheat crop already, tomorrow it is supposed to be ninety degrees, and yet all I can think about is fall. It’s always interesting to see what triggers the senses and summons that primal hunting urge within.  The corn stalks glistening in the morning sun caught my eye this morning, as well as the morning sun’s reflection on the tractor ...
Role Reversal
After stumbling across this picture, I'm starting to get a little concerned.  I know that bears inhabit many of the woods around us, and while their population may be small in my area of Michigan, if they are starting to get this smart I might need to be careful when scouting, hunting, or simply heading to my treestand. And, Mike, my fellow Michigan hunting blog friend and bear hunter, you and...

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.
