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,...

Justin’s Hunting Season: The Rest of the Story

Posted By: Arthur on November 23, 2009 in Deer Hunt Reports, Hunting - Comments: 6 Comments »

009Jeff, in his typical short-order fashion, posted a picture of the buck Justin took last Saturday night, but didn’t really tell the whole story of Justin’s season.  If any of you faithful readers have been paying attention, that was actually Justin’s second buck of the season, and this particular kill increased his taxidermy bill immensely.

Just a few short weeks ago, Justin killed this buck with his bow.  Anyone would be proud to hang that buck on the wall, but Justin just wasn’t satisfied apparently.  And thankfully he listened to my sister, his girlfriend, and sat the property on Saturday night that he did – and not the property on the other side of the road.

just1I do hate Justin just as much as Jeff does, though.  Most hunters – in their lifetime – would  be plum happy shooting a buck like Justin’s first one of the season, let alone shooting two bucks of this caliber IN THE SAME YEAR!  Too be honest, I would be happy with shooting either buck in my hunting lifetime.  I just don’t see it in the cards, though.

Thankfully, Justin is done for the season.  He can shoot a few more does if he wanted to, but to be completely honest, if I had a two bucks of that caliber on the ground already, plus a doe in the freezer as well, you can bet your you know what that I would be sleeping in for awhile.

Maybe one day I’ll get my shot.  But until then I’ll just have to live vicariously through Justin.  What a (you fill in the blank here).

    I sure wish I was him right now. I have seen deer every time I have been out this season but just can not close the deal yet.

    Tell him congratulations for me again.

    That would definately scratch the old gizzard I’d think. Gotta congratulate him though – some years a guy gets all the luck and other years….! I figure if a guy uses up all his luck in one year, how many years till luck finds its way back again. Hopefully next year it’ll be back knocking.
