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...

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...

More Positive Trailcam Results

Posted By: Arthur on September 15, 2008 in Deer Cam Pictures, Hunting - Comments: 5 Comments »

mdgc0023.jpgIt was another great weekend for trailcam pictures.  I guess, technically, it was a great two weeks.  I didn’t get out to check it last weekend, so it has been out for two straight weeks.  That ended up paying off though.

The first picture I was pleased with, was the picture of this buck.  I know he isn’t huge, but honestly, he is probably bigger than any buck I’ve ever shot.  I think he is probably two and a half, and I also think, that if he comes any where near my treestand during the season, that he is going to get it.

His rack is also very unique as well.  It doesn’t appear to have a brow tine on one side, and it also forks on the one side.  A pretty unique rack that I wouldn’t mind adding to my collection.  The problem I can see with this whole plan, is the fact that he was moving at night.  Hopefully, I encounter him in the daytime somewhere.

mdgc0041.jpgI also got this little guy on the cam as well.  He’s a really tall spike, and given the opportunity, I would definitely let this little guy go.  You just never know what he could eventually turn into.  His rack is kind of unique as well.  Maybe I will have an encounter with him this year.  If I do though, I will let him move on his way and just enjoy the encounter.

The cam had a variety of things on it over the two weeks.  We had turkeys, deer, and squirrels.  A lot of variety to the pictures, and I was definitely glad I left it out for a couple of weeks so that it had the opportunity to take the picture of the buck at the start of this post.

I braved the pouring rain to check the cams, and I’m glad I did.  The results were well worth it.

    Well if you encounter either of those deer while you are hunting I’m sure we’ll hear about it!

    Oh, I wish the rain would stop for awhile!

    There is steaks on the hoof right there. Good luck hunting and keep those pictures coming.

  3. Oh the excitement of trail cam pictures.

    I hope you all didn’t get too much flooding!

    Good pictures! Sadie and I have had one on one encounters with some young bucks that look a lot
    like your first picture. Saw one that looked like he was starting to shed his velvet. Exciting stuff.:)

  5. Jeff says:

    Great shots. And I would shoot either one if they came in bow range since I haven’t shot anything with an arrow.
    However I would be interested to see the jawbone of the bigger racked deer if you kill it. It may be a yearling too. I don’t see much difference in body characteristics between the two deer.
