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,...

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!
