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,...

Some link shout outs-Spotlighting the Ladies

Posted By: Arthur on May 16, 2008 in Site goodies - Comments: 5 Comments »

I haven’t done this in a long time, and I figured now was as good a time as any. Every once in awhile all of us bloggers need to show some link love, so to speak, to some good posts written by other bloggers, and now is my time for that.

First, I have to direct your attention to A Blessed Crazy Life. I love Blessed’s blog because it is so diverse. Plus she always writes posts about her little one, and I always take notice, since I have my first born on the way here in October. Her post about how to get the baby out of the bath without getting soaked was awesome. I definitely stored that one in the memory bank. I’m also partial to Blessed’s blog because I won her latest contest and I couldn’t be more excited about that.

Next, and always on my daily reads list, is The Hunter’s Wife. Jody is just too funny, and anyone who writes a post about a rod, or pole, is alright in my book. I know I’m acting like a teenager, but that post just made me laugh out loud. Jody always has some funny stuff on her blog and I always remember to check it daily.

Another great blog, that to be honest I only started reading recently, is Holly’s over at NorCal Cazadora. She just tends to have a way with words that I am very jealous of. Her post, that answered my question of why she hunts, was superb. I honestly wish I could have written my Why I Hunt post nearly as well as she did hers. Everything she writes is a great read.

I am also looking forward to CDGarden’s, from over at Timber Life, upcoming posts about her new dog that she is about to bring home. Who doesn’t like a good puppy post, and I’m sure in the next few months we will see plenty of them. She is already starting to get prepared for training. I hope she knows what she is getting herself into!!:)

And last, but definitely not least, is the Outdoor Blogger’s Summit site. Kristine has been doing a lot of work over there as of late, trying to get the blogroll organized. She also came up with a great idea that involves spotlighting different blogs from the Summit blogroll, and Blessed offered to take up that challenger for her. I am looking forward to what the future of the OBS brings, and also to Blessed’s spotlight feature. I look forward to learning about all the outdoor bloggers out there.

Those are just a few of the samples of great blogs from the ladies that are out there. All of them are great reads that I enjoy reading on a daily basis.

Keep up the work ladies! Most of us men don’t do quite as well!

    Thank you Arthur for the link. Yes, I am getting an idea what it is going to be like to train a puppy.
