A Whole New Hunting Mind
Recently I've been reading Daniel Pinks', A Whole New Mind, and it's quite intriguing. It came as recommended reading from my boss at work, and I was intrigued by the concept of the book right from the start.
Basically, the idea behind the book is that most of us - from a young age - are instructed to pursue left-brained careers - computer programming and accounting to name a few - when, actu...
SOTV: ‘09 Turkey Hunts
Last year, Jeff and I were both successful in our turkey hunting pursuits - Jeff shot a nice jake, and I shot my first bird - a jake - as well. And we were lucky enough to capture both of those hunts on film too.
I love sharing these videos with all of you, and I love them for selfish reasons as well. It's just great to, not only be able to re-live the moment in your mind, but also to be ab...
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...
SNOW!!!
Posted By: Arthur on December 17, 2008 in Ramblings - Comments: 8 Comments »
We had about 4 to 5 inches last night, and it looks like more is on the way.
There is a Winter Storm Watch for our area, starting tomorrow, and heading right through Friday. They’re saying 6 to 12 inches of snow possible, and if we don’t get snow we’ll get ice accumulations. Yippee!
I think that pretty much means I will be shoveling the next couple of days, instead of doing anything fun. Jeff and I thought about hunting this weekend, but that might not happen unless we purchase snow shoes.
Man I love winter!

I know what you are saying…We got around 5 inches of snow yesterday. The next weather system to start on Thursday evening is supposed to lay a 1/4 inch or more of ice on us before the measurable snow. Then wind coming later Friday to whip those wires. Can we say power outage? Let’s hope not!
Safety to you and your’s.
The snow and soon to be ice storm is preventing my hunter from hunting for the next few days.
Winter is here.
I’d love to get 12 inches of snow… next week while hubby is off work and after my family has arrived!
Ugh. We’ve got a little snow here and more coming tonight…mostly it’s just cold. I want to move to Phoenix right now.
This is Michigan- you never get board by the wather. One minute it’s freezing then the next it’s sunny & 70!
Man it’s in the upper sixties here, not to rub it in or anything. Actually I wish it was colder, the deer don’t seem to move to well in this warm weather. Arthur check out my new site if you get a chance at http://www.foggybottomoutdoors.com I appreciate it,Adam
We had three feet of snow and then it dumped another two feet last night. My arms are still aching from shoveling. The good news is that the lakes are all frozen over and I can ice fishing. The bad news is that the weather forecast has more snow in store for us. The only highway that connects us with big city civilization has been closed until further notice.
Winter has come very early here. That much for Global warming!!!

Please keep the show up there, but go ahead and send the cold weather. The deer aren’t moving at all in these spring temps…
