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...
SOTV: Another New Video
This video features some highlights from a hunt that Jeff and his son, Tyler, went on last year.  They definitely have some close encounters, but you'll have to watch to see if Tyler fills his tag or not. I just love seeing the kids involved in the outdoors.  It's too cool! Click the picture to watch.

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.
