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...

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.
