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,...

First Deer Down!

Posted By: Arthur on November 11, 2008 in Deer Hunt Reports, Hunting - Comments: 8 Comments »

img_1361.jpgMy buddy Dave finally came through.  After a few years of hunting, and a few close encounters, he scored on this nice six pointer last Thursday.

This is Dave’s first deer EVER!  He started shooting with us a few years back, and after a few hunts with us, and then getting the chance to hunt some property with another friend, he officially scored.

p1010733.jpgI’m telling you, last Thursday was the day to be in the woods.  Jeff shot his buck that morning, Dave shot his buck that morning, and Dave’s buddy-that he was hunting with-shot an 8 point that morning as well.  And where was I?  At a work conference.  Remember what I said about bad luck yesterday?  There’s more proof (as if you needed it).

It has been one heck of a week for shooting bucks.  Matthew shot his, Uncle Jim shot his, Jeff shot his, Dave shot his, Dave’s buddy shot two (both of which I will have pics soon.  Someone forgot to save them today),  and Justin, the sister’s boyfriend, shot his last night.

It was been one heck of a week around here.  And congrats to Dave on his first deer.  The first one is always the hardest, so it should be smooth sailing from here on out.

    Our hunting buddy shot a little 8 pointer last week too – its going in my freezer tomorrow! Hubby would have shot one or two, but I’ve got an “if it wasn’t for bad luck” story for Friday all about that…

    Congratulations Dave! Here’s hoping that this is the first of many.

  8. [...] bucks down as well.  My sister’s boyfriend shot his a few weeks back,  and my buddy Dave shot his as well – even my 10yr old nephew got his first deer.  Anyone see a deer around here for [...]
