Deer Activity: 3 doe at 30 yds heading for the ridge and one buck right at dark who was working the scrape right in front of my stand. Just couldn’t get him into range before I ran out of light. Also had a deer at 5yds, turned out to be a little button buck so I let him walk. Thought that was the best thing to do. Corrin had 5 doe that came in from the left of her at about 25yds. Tried to get a shot but just had two many eyes looking at her. Next time! Pretty soon we’re gonna run out of times to say that.

Welcome to the Simply Outdoors webpage.
We are two brothers from lower Michigan who enjoy fishing, hunting, and anything outdoors. We decided that it would not only be a motivation, but would be fun to have a site to share some of our hunting, fishing, and outdoor experiences; triumph and tragedy! We are by no means professionals and will never claim to be. We are just two average guys who enjoy outdoors activities. We will try to cover a little bit of everything on the site including deer & turkey hunting, steelhead, bass, and salmon fishing, camping, and other goodies. So take a look around and enjoy!
33 more days until Opening Day of Bow Season
50 more days until Our little one arrives
We will strive to be a positive voice for the outdoors. We will promote all persons, especially young people, who engage in outdoor pursuits as well as work to support our local and national outdoor organizations. We will promote our love and passion for the outdoors by working to portray a positive image of hunters and outdoorsman through various outlets. We will HAVE FUN!
