Jeff strikes again! |

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...

A Short Rant

I'm angry! And that could be the main reason for this post. I was going to write it last night, but I wanted to think on it for a night first and see if I still felt the same way in the morning........and I do. The long and short of this post is this: It would be nice if some of our lawmakers, local authority figures, judges, and special interest groups didn't worry so much about "endange...

Jeff strikes again!

Well 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!

Nice buck Jeff. I would take that over the victory that Art had on you at the Cinderblock Shoot at Compass earlier this season. You can be proud of that big boy!!!
