Lack of Respect
With the new day breaking, I walked the bank of the Pere Marquette, looking for my first honey hole of the morning.  It was beautiful – the sun’s rays bouncing off the banks, bringing new life to the early spring forage - but, as I walked along, something on the trail ahead caught my eye. WTF? A beer can.  And another beer can.  I hate trash! It amazes me as to how little respect s...
First Hawaiian Island Adventure
For those of you that regularly follow Simply Outdoors'  blog you know that I recently relocated to Hawaii. It has been a hectic and crazy summer to say the least, but I did finally get to experience my first "island edition" outdoor excursion recently. Words and pictures probably won't give the experience its due justice, but here it goes anyways. The day trip was planned to consist of a hike...
Another Mounted Buck for Justin
Our SimplyOutdoor Pro Staffer, Justin, had a great deer season last year.  And if you need to be reminded as to how "great" it was, you can click here. But, even though all of us completely remember how great his season was, and because Justin is the complete jerk that he is, he likes to send pictures months after the season in order to continue to rub it in. The picture in this post is of ...
Primal Thoughts
The corn is shoulder high, farmers are harvesting their wheat crop already, tomorrow it is supposed to be ninety degrees, and yet all I can think about is fall. It’s always interesting to see what triggers the senses and summons that primal hunting urge within.  The corn stalks glistening in the morning sun caught my eye this morning, as well as the morning sun’s reflection on the tractor ...
Role Reversal
After stumbling across this picture, I'm starting to get a little concerned.  I know that bears inhabit many of the woods around us, and while their population may be small in my area of Michigan, if they are starting to get this smart I might need to be careful when scouting, hunting, or simply heading to my treestand. And, Mike, my fellow Michigan hunting blog friend and bear hunter, you and...

Sturgeon Update

Posted By: Arthur on June 26, 2009 in Fishing, Outdoor News - Comments: 2 Comments »

Some of you may remember this post I wrote about three weeks back;  it had to do with a gentleman who illegally kept a sturgeon he caught in the Grand Rapids area.  Apparently all of the news media attention – and I’d like to think my blog was part of that – helped to convince this particular gentleman to turn himself into the Report All Poaching hotline.

The incident actually happened clear back on May 17th, and I featured the story on this blog June 5th.  After a couple of months though, all the pressure from being in the spotlight evidently got to him and he will be arraigned on July 9th in 61st District Court in Grand Rapids.  Apparently his father was involved as well, and charges are being sought for him too.

I’m glad to see all the pressure got him, and that he is being brought to justice…….as he should!

    Good for you! I’m glad to hear that the outrage motivated the guy to (belatedly) do the right thing.
