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.
SOTV: Another New Video
This video features some highlights from a hunt that Jeff and his son, Tyler, went on last year. They definitely have some close encounters, but you’ll have to watch to see if Tyler fills his tag or not.
I just love seeing the kids involved in the outdoors. It’s too cool!

Great video! So fun to watch kids hunting! Just curious about what treestand you used… looks like a double seat. Also what kind of bow Tyler shoots… we just bought a Odyssey II by Bear. Our friends have two boys, ages 10 and 12, who have showed a lot of interest in archery… their Dad and Mom don’t hunt, but have no objections to us getting the boys involved… just wondering what draw weight Tyler pulls… Thanks for making the extra effort to share your hunt with us!
Suzee,
I believe Tyler’s bow is a Micro Midas. And, as for the poundage, I’m not sure. I think it’s about 30lbs. The treestand is a dual stand, but I’m not sure of the manufacturer. Almost all of our stands our duals; they allow you to hunt with the kids, and make for quite the stand when you’re hunting by yourself.
Arthur… thanks for the info…I can see how a dual seated stand would be what you need… now if I can just convince Gary we need another tree stand! Keep the great videos coming!
It is a Micro Midas. It’s a great bow cause it can grow with the kids. DL 17-28 inches and poundage 0n this bow is 20-30 I think? We also have another good youth bow it’s called “rascal” by bowtech.
