SOTV: ‘09 Turkey Hunts
Last year, Jeff and I were both successful in our turkey hunting pursuits - Jeff shot a nice jake, and I shot my first bird - a jake - as well.  And we were lucky enough to capture both of those hunts on film too. I love sharing these videos with all of you, and I love them for selfish reasons as well.  It's just great to, not only be able to re-live the moment in your mind, but also to be ab...
Sponsor On-Board
It's been one heck of a month here at SimplyOutdoors, and it just keeps getting better.  I'm very proud and pleased to announce that we have our first sponsor - Cottage Craft Works. Cottage Craft Works make all kinds of unique things - hand-made furniture, fishing lures, custom gun stocks, toys and, of course, my personal favorite, hunting calls.  They make box calls, slate calls, owl hoots, ...
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...

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.

  3. Rick says:

    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!

  5. Eagle Eyes says:

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