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.

Around the Outdoor Blogosphere

Posted By: Arthur on February 29, 2008 in Opinion, Ramblings - Comments: 2 Comments »

I haven’t done this in forever, but with the number of good articles I’ve been seeing around I figured I should spotlight some here on our site. So here we go with the Outdoor blog rundown of good stuff to read:

Darrell has a great post on enjoying the outdoors and the differences in everyone’s opinion on what defines enjoying the outdoors. He brings up the point, that just because it isn’t your choice for enjoying the outdoors, doesn’t mean that it’s the wrong way. His message is a good one; Enjoy the outdoors-Your way, not mine.

Matt has a great post about one of his fishing buddies getting hooked in the ear. I thought it was a funny post considering I can relate to this gentleman’s predicament. I wrote a similar story about my experience of getting hooked. At least I was hooked by someone and didn’t do the hooking myself though. It’s a great read if you haven’t come across it yet.

Mike has a great post that is a tribute to his son. I thought this post was very cool and enjoyed reading it. All of you should head on over and read Mike’s post. He has some other great stuff on his site as well. Plus he’s from Michigan and us Michiganders have to stick together.

Jeff has a great post about his weekend activities that includes some incredible trail cam shots. He managed to capture some raccoon dominance as well as some birds in flight with his cam. I am totally envious that Jeff gets to have his camera out right now, so if any of you are envious as well, or even if you’re not, head on over and check out the pictures. They’re very cool!

In case some of you have missed it, Jody from The Hunter’s Wife, is going to be guest blogging over at the Deer Camp Blog this week. Jody is always funny so I’m sure with a new forum for her posts, and a site she’s not responsible for, that we will see some good stuff. I’m looking forward to that.

I could keep going forever, and it is always hard to single out posts from all of the good outdoor blogs that I read, but I think that this is a pretty good collection for all of you that read our site to check out. I will try and do this little feature more often. I would hate for everyone to miss the good writing that is available out there in the outdoor blogosphere.
