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,...

Crime doesn’t pay.

mi_dnr_logo_large.gifOur DNR here in Michigan posts monthly reports about the incidents they encounter in the state, and quite often it can provide for some real humorous reading. I was reading through the reports that covered the first part of this month and I stumbled across this little nugget from district 7 here in our state.

CO Mike Mshar responded to a RAP complaint of subjects taking an overlimit of pan fish. CO Mshar contacted the occupants of the boat as it was approaching the access site. Upon observing the CO, one subject attempted to throw the large bag of fish overboard. Instead, the weight of the bundle pulled the subject head first into the water. CO Mshar assisted the subject to shore and secured the bag of fish. The subjects were found to be 130 bluegills and crappie over their limits. CO Mshar ticketed each for the possession of the overlimit.

Now right there is a bad day. Not only are you knowingly breaking the law like a dufus, but as you are trying to get rid of the evidence you fall in and have to be saved by guess who? The law officer who is going to bust you. I just love this story. It just goes to show that criminals are just not that bright. Man, it just cracks me up.

    I’m glad they caught the guys! 130 fish over limit – that is ridiculous.

  2. They were well deserving of the punishment and it’s actually kind of funny.

    That kinda gives a new meaning to the saying “you want to play you have to pay” I do agree that is a bit rediculus.

  4. Tom Sorenson says:

    Oops. I’d say that didn’t go off quite the way it was planned. Thanks for sharin’ that one!

    I’d call that going a little “overboard” don’t you think! Funny story.
