Huntin’ Time Expo/My Lack of Posts
It's absolutely no secret that I've been neglectful of this blog lately. Some evidence: I never posted a few of the deer that Justin shot. I didn't post anything about Jeff, Barry, Erin, and Josh heading down to the ATA show in Columbus a little over a week ago. And I've never posted anything about the fact that SimplyOutdoors TV will be airing on the Pursuit Channel starting in January 2...
End of Deer Season: Maybe I Stink
Last night I cleaned my muzzleloader.  And though I usually love the feeling that comes with cleaning any firearm, last night's cleaning kind of depressed me a little, because it was a sure sign that another deer season had passed and that I had once again went through an entire season without putting any venison in the freezer. As I was cleaning and reflecting back on the last couple of seaso...
Bittersweet Hunt: The Rest of the Story
In my previous post, I eluded to the fact that my miss last Sunday morning was only the beginning of a very memorable morning.  Here is the "rest of the story". After my miss, it was still only a little after 8am, so Jeff and I decided that we might as well stick it out for a little while and see if any other deer decided they wanted to eat out of his food plot. And that is when the weirdne...
Bittersweet Hunt
Though I had only been able to hunt a handful of times, the fact remained that I hadn't laid eyes on a deer since around October 8th.  It was making it pretty difficult to head into the woods, because I honestly wasn't sure if I was ever going to see a deer again; I was starting to wonder if I had a deer whistle permanently embedded within my body that was preventing them from coming within a hal...
Another Deer for Jeff
While I don't have much to celebrate when it comes to deer hunting, after tonight I can bask in at least one thing:  that I told Jeff about Hornady SST's, and that, because of my wisdom, Jeff was able to put down this big doe without fear of his bullet coming apart. Congrats to Jeff.  Welcome to the dark side, and say goodbye to Powerbelts.    

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.
