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.    

Whoops, I almost forgot

Since I really don’t have much energy, or the motivation to write a serious post.  And since I really haven’t done anything outdoorsy, I figured I should mention this.

My wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary yesterday.  And Abby was the perfect gift for that so we really didn’t buy each other anything.   Actually, to be honest, we didn’t even remember our anniversary until early in the afternoon.

The first few weeks of October are getting pretty busy for us:  My birthday, my cousin’s birthday, opening day of bow season, Abby’s birthday, my uncle’s birthday, my dad’s birthday, my nephews’ birthdays, my sister-in-law’s birthday, and our anniversary — all before the second week is over.

I think I might have to start taking out a loan to buy all of these gifts.

    Well, the nice part is that if you remember those two weeks you’re pretty much in the clear. That might be a good thing.

    We have a few clusters of birthdays but for the most part we’re spread out throughout the year – that’s the way to do it!

    Oh and just let your wife take care of getting most of those gifts – she can probably figure out how to do it ahead of time so that you don’t need a loan :)

    Your October birthday list sounds like our September bunch,we have eight birthdays.

    We have clusters of birthdays in April, July and November. The rest are spread out.

    It is nice that you should keep your family birthdays in mind. Making them feel special is positively wonderful! ;)

    Happy Anniversary to you and Jen! And just keep enjoying “little” Abby; she won’t stay that way long, I can assure you.
