However that does not meant that you guys can't include it here. That would give you even MORE material for your readers to enjoy. I also think that you have created a great mission statement and that you are well on your way to accomplishing it. If I were you, I would pursue other venues for your writing as well continuing to make the most of your partnerships (michiganoutdoors for example)to increase your readership and the reach of your blog. SimplyOutdoors truly encompasses the best of what being a hunter is about, and our sport needs all of the positive publicity it can get. Good luck!

I have experienced trying to make money off my love for fishing. I did make some, but, the enjoyment level went way down for me. The outdoors experience is what it is for each individual involved and that is what makes it fun in unique ways for all. Hi Art - I believe that your mission statement is right on the money.

This could turn out to be a long debate but the main thing is folks will read it regardless if you just write from the heart and make it interesting. By the way you've been added to another new website-- http://fishingafield.blogspot.com which is just started up and in it's first stages of running.

You’re right about that turning fun into a job will take the fun out of it. Having said that, there are still ways to have fun and make some money on the side to pay for the fun. Filming to make money with it however is not one of them. -ov- I like the simplicity of that mission statement and yet it says everything that needs to be said.

Expanding into filming could certainly be a "fun" expansion. I've thought about doing that with my brothers, just for the fun of it. I'm still not to the point of being willing to put my rifle or bow down, since I only get a few days a year to hunt. Maybe one of these days, I won't be so selfish! The mission statement is great.

Somebody recently asked me what I envisioned for the future of Bright Idea Outdoors. I paused for a moment and said that I wasn't sure, but that as long as it was fun as I was going to keep on doing it! Sounds like your outlook on your site is similar to my outlook on mine.
