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,...

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.

  2. 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!

  4. Tom Sorenson says:

    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

  7. 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…
