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...

New Site Resource

Posted By: Arthur on July 29, 2009 in Site goodies - Comments: 4 Comments »

Web_resources_buttonIf you are a Michigan hunter or fisherman you’ve had this happen to you:  you head to the DNR website – looking for specific information – and after minutes of searching you still end up empty-handed and frustrated because you couldn’t find the information you were looking for.  It’s happened to me, and it’s happened to Jeff, and to be honest we are sick and tired of it.

With that in mind I created a new page on our site.  The page is called MDNR Resources, and it is a page filled with common resources that people would be looking for on the Michigan DNR webpage.  The cool thing about this page, though, is that there is no hunting to find what you want; it is right there, right in front of you and contains direct links to the information you’re looking for; no obscurities, no hassle.

We encourage all of you Michigan outdoorsmen (and women) to head on over to our new resource page and check it out.  And please feel free to leave us comments, and let us know what we can do to improve it.  Also, if you think of something that people always need to find – and I don’t have it on the page yet, and you think it deserves a spot – don’t hesitate to let us know and we will add it to the site.

We think this new page is a great addition to our site, and we hope you do too.  Please check it out and let us know what you think.

    This page is a really good idea. Just by coincidence, I was looking for info. on Michigan’s youth deer hunt for an article I’m writing. Where can I find that?

    If you look under the “Special License Information” area you will find a few links that have to do with the Youth Hunt. Also, if you look under “Season Information and Guides”, and click Deer it tells you the dates for this year’s Youth Hunt. Unfortunately there isn’t one spot where all the information for the Youth Hunt is located, plus the 2009-2010 Hunting Guide hasn’t come out yet.

    It is a good idea. I really dislike the dep website for Connecticut because you can’t find what your looking for have the time.

    The CT site is not user friendly.

    Some sites are very confusing. Great addition to your blog.
