Huntin’ Time Expo/My Lack of Posts
It's absolutely no secret that I've been neglectful of this blog lately. Some evidence: I never posted a few of the deer that Justin shot. I didn't post anything about Jeff, Barry, Erin, and Josh heading down to the ATA show in Columbus a little over a week ago. And I've never posted anything about the fact that SimplyOutdoors TV will be airing on the Pursuit Channel starting in January 2...
End of Deer Season: Maybe I Stink
Last night I cleaned my muzzleloader.  And though I usually love the feeling that comes with cleaning any firearm, last night's cleaning kind of depressed me a little, because it was a sure sign that another deer season had passed and that I had once again went through an entire season without putting any venison in the freezer. As I was cleaning and reflecting back on the last couple of seaso...
Bittersweet Hunt: The Rest of the Story
In my previous post, I eluded to the fact that my miss last Sunday morning was only the beginning of a very memorable morning.  Here is the "rest of the story". After my miss, it was still only a little after 8am, so Jeff and I decided that we might as well stick it out for a little while and see if any other deer decided they wanted to eat out of his food plot. And that is when the weirdne...
Bittersweet Hunt
Though I had only been able to hunt a handful of times, the fact remained that I hadn't laid eyes on a deer since around October 8th.  It was making it pretty difficult to head into the woods, because I honestly wasn't sure if I was ever going to see a deer again; I was starting to wonder if I had a deer whistle permanently embedded within my body that was preventing them from coming within a hal...
Another Deer for Jeff
While I don't have much to celebrate when it comes to deer hunting, after tonight I can bask in at least one thing:  that I told Jeff about Hornady SST's, and that, because of my wisdom, Jeff was able to put down this big doe without fear of his bullet coming apart. Congrats to Jeff.  Welcome to the dark side, and say goodbye to Powerbelts.

barbie340×300.jpgI would like to thank Arthur for allowing me to do a guest post while he’s vacationing.  It’s such a nice feeling to be on vacation and know your blog will be well taken care of by some amazing bloggers.  If I had the code to his template I would add a little pink around here.

When Arthur announced he was going to be a Father for the first time you could just feel his excitement.  He also predicted the new litte bundle of joy would be a girl.  A few weeks later,  Arthur’s prediction came true and he announced the good news to all of his readers.  It’s a girl!

So I thought what would be a more appropriate post than to share my advice about little girls. 

  1. From here on out October will be a busy month and I’m not talking about hunting.
    4:00 a.m. rise and shine won’t be to get to your stand before sunrise it will be for feedings.
  2. Using that grunt thingymajigger will have to be done a few miles down the road.  Can’t wake the baby!
  3. When she has her first baby picture taken, that is what should go on the wall and not the deer mount.
  4. Those hunting shows will soon turn to cartoons and Sesame Street.
  5. It’s ok for little girls to like pink and purple and not just camouflage.
  6. Little girls look cute in bows not always with a bow.
  7. Being in the great outdoors with little girls is about being outdoors playing with barbies not about tracking deer.
  8. Girls sometimes like to carry little purses not little tackle boxes.
  9. You will find many trinkets in a little girl’s pockets not necessarily worms for bait.
  10. And if she doesn’t ever want to take a fish off the hook…you know the drill. 

I have to say I can’t wait to see the picture of her in her pink camouflage pants with her first fish and her very proud Daddy.

  1. Jeff says:

    Sounds like good advice to me. We have boys so I don’t know anything about raising little girls!

  2. I’m with you Jody, I can’t wait to see those pictures either. These are some good tips for Arthur, I hope he takes them under advisement.

  3. Tom Sorenson says:

    :) Good stuff! Now if the wife and I ever have a baby girl – I can’t say I wasn’t for-warned!

  4. Blessed says:

    I hope Arthur is paying attention to your tips… not only are you giving him some good pointers on being a good Daddy but #’s 1, 2, 3 and 4 are things he’d better remember to keep Momma happy!

    Love the list, Jody!

    I just wanted to add: Camouflage can be girly. The T-shirt I’m wearing now proves it. It’s green, but it has flowers and sparklies in it. The sparklies are an extra special deer-hunting feature. Causes that deer-in-headlights effect. :)
