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...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...
First Show
The SimplyOutdoors' crew had a great time over the weekend - we got to converse with quite a few local Michigan residents, and we had a great time doing so.  It's always fun sharing stories with local hunters - and it was even fun talking with the non-hunters. We were definitely happy to see the weather hold out for us, too.  There was a chance of thunderstorms throughout the entire day, but,...

Crossing my fingers

Posted By: Arthur on January 17, 2008 in Hunting, Turkey - Comments: 4 Comments »

turkstmp08.jpgJust a quick little blurb to let everyone know that I put in my turkey hunting application today.  I’m crossing my fingers that I get the hunt I selected.  You have two choices when you submit your application and I went with what I thought were the best two available.

My first choice was for a hunt that will be from April 21st through May 4th.  It is available on all private lands and is the one I’m really hoping to get.  My other choice runs from May 12th through May 31st.  Not the greatest time.  I would rather have the earlier hunt and catch the Gobblers when they are looking heavily for the ladies, but I will take either.

If for some reason I’m not successful with either choice, there is a guaranteed hunt period that runs from May 5th-May31st.  That could work too, but I have yet to be turned down for the first choice I made.  That hunt has a 65,000 quota and I think my odds are pretty good.

I can check the results of the drawing starting March 3rd so everyone keep your fingers crossed.  Lets hope this year either Jeff or I can provide turkey dinner for the first time.

    Wild turkey is some good eating. My Dad shot one a couple of years ago and we made a nice dinner out of it.

    I hope you get the hunt you want. We need some good turkey hunting stories.
