Lack of Respect
With the new day breaking, I walked the bank of the Pere Marquette, looking for my first honey hole of the morning.  It was beautiful – the sun’s rays bouncing off the banks, bringing new life to the early spring forage - but, as I walked along, something on the trail ahead caught my eye. WTF? A beer can.  And another beer can.  I hate trash! It amazes me as to how little respect s...
First Hawaiian Island Adventure
For those of you that regularly follow Simply Outdoors'  blog you know that I recently relocated to Hawaii. It has been a hectic and crazy summer to say the least, but I did finally get to experience my first "island edition" outdoor excursion recently. Words and pictures probably won't give the experience its due justice, but here it goes anyways. The day trip was planned to consist of a hike...
Another Mounted Buck for Justin
Our SimplyOutdoor Pro Staffer, Justin, had a great deer season last year.  And if you need to be reminded as to how "great" it was, you can click here. But, even though all of us completely remember how great his season was, and because Justin is the complete jerk that he is, he likes to send pictures months after the season in order to continue to rub it in. The picture in this post is of ...
Primal Thoughts
The corn is shoulder high, farmers are harvesting their wheat crop already, tomorrow it is supposed to be ninety degrees, and yet all I can think about is fall. It’s always interesting to see what triggers the senses and summons that primal hunting urge within.  The corn stalks glistening in the morning sun caught my eye this morning, as well as the morning sun’s reflection on the tractor ...
Role Reversal
After stumbling across this picture, I'm starting to get a little concerned.  I know that bears inhabit many of the woods around us, and while their population may be small in my area of Michigan, if they are starting to get this smart I might need to be careful when scouting, hunting, or simply heading to my treestand. And, Mike, my fellow Michigan hunting blog friend and bear hunter, you and...

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.
