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,...
From Field to Wall
Posted By: Arthur on June 30, 2009 in Hunting - Comments: 6 Comments »
I received an email yesterday from my sister’s boyfriend. Inside was something of a surprise – I just didn’t think that he would have his mount back from the taxidermist already. But lo and behold, there in the email for everyone to see, was Justin’s November buck from last year.
It’s a pretty good looking mount, and I think it looks great up on the wall. Of course my goal now is to shoot one this year that looks just like it, so that it can be hung on the opposite wall of my turkey mount.
Taxidermy is definitely an art, and I think that Justin’s buck was made into a pretty good piece of artwork.
Now when’s it my turn?

That is definitely a good looking mount! I’ve noticed when mounts fail, it is usually around the nose, mouth, and eyes. This one looks great. You can’t complain about the quick service either!
That looks very nice. I hope all of us get one like that this year.
Nice mount. Looks good on everyone’s wall but mine.
I must agree with the previous comments. The buck looks very life like – it is searching the air for a scent.
Nice mount!
Nice! I know how you feel.. I’m still waiting for my first mount. I’m hopeful that this is the year.
