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,...

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.
