A Whole New Hunting Mind
Recently I've been reading Daniel Pinks', A Whole New Mind, and it's quite intriguing. It came as recommended reading from my boss at work, and I was intrigued by the concept of the book right from the start.
Basically, the idea behind the book is that most of us - from a young age - are instructed to pursue left-brained careers - computer programming and accounting to name a few - when, actu...
SOTV: ‘09 Turkey Hunts
Last year, Jeff and I were both successful in our turkey hunting pursuits - Jeff shot a nice jake, and I shot my first bird - a jake - as well. And we were lucky enough to capture both of those hunts on film too.
I love sharing these videos with all of you, and I love them for selfish reasons as well. It's just great to, not only be able to re-live the moment in your mind, but also to be ab...
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...
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.
