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,...

Jeff strikes again!

jeffbuck.jpgWell being that Art is a little crabby right now he says I have to write my own post! So here we go my 1st post!

I went out this morning to my lease in Eaton County knowing that the rut was in full swing. Set up in a 10 acre hardwoods where we have been seeing a lot of deer lately.  Well low and behold this bad boy stepped out at 50 yards checking one of his scrapes. I had to watch and wait him out for about 15 minutes(which seemed like an hour!).  I’m not going to lie this buck had me a little rattled!  He was as nervous as a deer gets- jumping and running at every animal that made a noise in the woods! He ended up working his way towards me and gave me a 18 yard shot, which hit perfect and he only went 50 yards before going down.

This is my 2nd biggest bow kill and my 1st big buck in a while. Hope everyone enjoyed the short version of this story. LOL.  Art, don’t worry, I have total faith in you that you will connect this weekend!
