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...
Sponsor On-Board
It's been one heck of a month here at SimplyOutdoors, and it just keeps getting better.  I'm very proud and pleased to announce that we have our first sponsor - Cottage Craft Works. Cottage Craft Works make all kinds of unique things - hand-made furniture, fishing lures, custom gun stocks, toys and, of course, my personal favorite, hunting calls.  They make box calls, slate calls, owl hoots, ...
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...

Some Stories From the Field.

Posted By: Arthur on October 10, 2008 in Hunting - Comments: 4 Comments »

Since I can’t hunt–well I guess I can hunt, but at this point in time I’m choosing not too, I figured I would share a few stories from individuals who are getting outside.

Jeff hasn’t went much this week, and a few nights ago he got blanked.  I know he hasn’t been feeling well too, so I’m not sure how much he will get out this weekend, but I will let you know.

My sister’s boyfriend saw a monster last night.  He is not sure what happened, but the buck ended up splitting before he offered him a shot.  He is still wondering what made him spook, and is counting on the rut at this point to bring him back in.  Hopefully that is the case.  They do tend to get a severe case of stupid when that rut comes around.

One of my buddies had a close encounter with a little six point the other night.  He has yet to shoot his first archery deer, but this one wouldn’t cooperate and take the few necessary steps he needed him to in order to take the shot.  That is the way it goes sometimes, and hopefully sometime in the near future he gets another opportunity.

As for me, I’m writing this post while little Abby sleeps next to me on one of her pillows.  This is the nightly ritual lately, and it gives her mom some time to get some sleep before she needs to feed again.  With all of these things going on, and with mom not being able to drive for a little while, it pretty much limits me when it comes to hunting.  I might be able to sneak out this weekend, but only time will tell.  As I said in a previous post, I have plenty of time still left to hunt.

Hopefully soon we will have some success stories to share.  When we do I will be sure and let you know.  I also might sneak out and put the trailcam out this weekend, so in the next few weeks-when the weather really starts to cool down, and mom can drive again, that Abby’s daddy will know where to go to find those big bucks.

    I am sure you will venture out at some point. It is an admiral thing to update on others status and you might not think but it is helping you as well.

    Before long you will be taking little Abby with you to the deer stand. :) They can grow up so fast. Having four daughters of my own, it’s hard to believe that they are all grown and gone. At least one of them enjoys the sport of hunting. Take care of the little one and hope your wife will be back on her feet real soon. By the way, my husband is from Michigan also..Dearborn. :)
