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,...

South Carolinian Double Whammy!

Posted By: Arthur on November 4, 2008 in Deer Hunt Reports, Hunting - Comments: 5 Comments »

img_1728.JPGWell they aren’t really South Carolinians any longer, but they sure did put the hurting on two Michigan bucks yesterday.

My cousin Matt shot a nice little fork horn yesterday morning, and his dad followed up with a nice four point yesterday evening.  Both of these gentleman are experienced hunters, when it comes to rifle hunting, but these two deer are special because they were both bow kills.  And not just any bow kills, but their first bow kills.

1stbow-002.jpgAfter all the talk of moving back to Michigan, and then all the time and effort it took to get here, yesterday, it finally all paid off.  A double for a dad and a son, and to make it even better, their first bow kills.

It was a team effort, and my garage was turned into a slaughter house last night, but the meat is all cut up, wrapped, and ready for eating. 

And I’m sorry Matt, but your dad wins the bigger buck award.

Congrats guys.  Jeff and I couldn’t be happier for ya.

    That’s great – I’m encouraged by first bow kills…I know mine is out there somewhere. Congrats to these two guys.

    Congratulations to Matt and his dad. Makes me want to tell my daughter to find another babysitter. Hopefully I’ll get out this weekend.
