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...
Mascot News.
Posted By: Arthur on December 17, 2007 in Ramblings - Comments: 7 Comments »
With everything going on in my life lately I forgot to mention a very important thing. December the 14th was the SimplyOutdoors mascot’s birthday. Brock officially turned 1 on December the 14th.
He is of course observing his duties as the mascot for the site. These include, but are not limited too:
- Running uncontrollably through the 10 inches of snow
- Throwing toys in the air and hitting us at the most inoppertune times
- Eating
- Pooping
- Licking
- Sleeping
- & playing a mean game of toy keep away
The wife has already spoiled him by buying him new toys on his birthday so none of you need to worry about sending gifts. He is taken care of!
Oh, to be a dog! What a life.

You’re mascot and I share some of the same favorite hobbies…Eating and sleeping mainly…
Haha! I think your Brock and my puppy lead the same existence. This is her first winter and she went crazy in the snow….and yes, I bought her Christmas presents. She is just a tiny bit spoiled!
Happy Birhtday, Brock!
Happy Birthday Brock. What a cute pup. He doesn’t look like a pup but 1 year old is still a pup.
We have two office dogs and I always say I wouldn’t mind having either of their lives. They sleep the day away, except when they’re being fed treats or petted and cuddled. It’s not a bad existance.
Sounds like Brock has the same sort of life. Good for him.
He sure looks content, with out a doubt.
Tell him Happy Birthday for me and give him a huge meaty bone.
Happy Birthday Brock!
He is so cute! he makes me want to have a dog even more!!!
Good dog, Brock…Doin’ everything you are supposed to do.;) Happy 1st Birthday!
