Another Eaton County Buck Down |

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...

Posted By: Arthur on November 12, 2008 in Deer Hunt Reports, Hunting - Comments: 7 Comments »

I mentioned in the post yesterday that my sister’s boyfriend, Justin, had shot himself another buck, and here is the proof. He shot him around 4pm on Monday. It was a nice cold overcast day, and apparently the deer were on the move.

He is a nice 8, and I’m sure Justin is more than happy with him. He wasn’t completely sure of his shot at first, so he gave him a couple hours before starting to track, but there was no reason to worry, the shot was perfect, and he didn’t make it very far from where Justin had last seen him.

This buck also had an arrow in him from another hunter. Whoever shot him, shot him in the back. It just missed the spine, but Justin said he didn’t appear hurt at all. It just goes to show how tough this whitetails are. It always amazes how they can recover and survive after suffering a serious wound such as that.

Another nice buck down in Eaton County! These last few weeks have definitely been the time to get out. They have certainly offered every hunter a pretty good chance of bagging a buck. If you can get out hunting this week, do it! Unless you have to work like me of course.

Congrats to Justin. Nice deer!

Congrats to the man – and that is absolutely crazy the deer could appear unhurt with an arrow resting near its spine! Tough ol ‘critters!
