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...
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.
