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,...

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. :)
