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,...

Inside the Frame: Starting ‘em Young

Posted By: Arthur on September 27, 2008 in Inside the Frame, SimplyOutdoors Series - Comments: 5 Comments »

This is another installment, of our weekly series here at SimplyOutdoors, entitled Inside the Frame.  In this series we post a picture from our archives and try to tell the story of what’s Inside the Frame.——————————————————————————————————————————

31.jpgThis picture was taken 10 yrs ago.  I can’t believe that it has been that long already.

Jeff’s son, Tyler,  was only a few months old in this picture.  And, as you can tell, we already had him in the camouflage clothing.

The outfit was actually my doing.  I can’t remember why, but I was on my way home from a trip up north, and stopped by a local outdoor store on my way home.  This outfit was sitting there, just begging for me to buy it.  I wish I would have taken a little more time, realized how expensive it was, and how short of time there would be that he would be able to wear it, and moved on.  But, me being me, I just couldn’t resist the temptation to get him his first camo outfit.

Tyler has been hunting with us for years now, and has seen Jeff shoot at least a couple of deer.  This is his first year that he will be able to bowhunt, and he is stoked.

I’m glad I bought the outfit, and I’m glad I have the picture for a keepsake.  That, in and of itself, was worth the twenty bucks.

    I’m making Lil Sugar a camo jumper right now because I can sew, have lots of camo material and can’t fathom spending $20 on an outfit – BUT… it is a great picture and money isn’t everything! (And if I had a boy – I’d be buying clothes, not making them!)

    Once in camo, always in camo, come the right seasons. Way to go Uncle Arthur!

    Starting them young is one of the most important things I can think of to help get them interested but, then again I wasn’t interested myself until i hit 28 which was a long time ago.

    That is one cute kid and i like the camo jammies. Just wait till your little one shows up.

    Fun Times…….

  4. I think the camo clothes are cute. It’s true they can’t wear them long, but clothes do last. One of my cousins is now dressing her daughter in baby clothes that my sister and I wore when we were babies. Those things are over 30 years old.

    What a great shot. That is what I love about blogging… it seems to lend itself to digging up stories and pictures from the past to compliment the posts about what is coming and what we just did.
    Thanks for sharing that, and I hope that you will spend another $20 on Abby for her picture.
