This past weekend, Jeff and Justin participated in a local ice fishing tournament; they caught a few nice-sized bluegills, but unfortunately their dreams of winning the $1500 first prize didn’t exactly pan out. The tournament still provided them a great time, though, and there will be more to come about that later.

As for me, this past weekend I stayed indoors, spent some time relaxing with the family, and worked on the announcement that I alluded to in a previous post.

And speaking of that announcement, make sure you stop by the site tomorrow. We are going to unveil what has been recently happening behind the scenes here at SimplyOutdoors.

And you wouldn’t want to miss that, would ya?

Happy New Year from all of us at SimplyOutdoors.  We wish everyone a great 2010, and we hope your 2009 was everything you had hoped it would be.

I’m looking forward to 2010.  I think it’s going to be a great year.

And to start it off, I’ll be watching some football.

Since it’s Christmas Eve, and with Christmas falling on a Friday, you probably won’t see a post here until Monday.  With that being said I would like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas to all my fellow bloggers, as well as the faithful readers of this site.

Please take time to remember, as we all get caught up in opening presents,  watching football, and filling our bellies, what Christmas is really about:  the birth of God’s Son.

We hope you enjoy the spirit of the holiday, get to spend quality time with family and friends, and reflect on what this magical time of the year is all about.

Merry Christmas from SimplyOutdoors.  We hope Santa is good to each and every one of you.

As Art had stated in a resent post I decided to jump on board with an Outdoor video production company. A friend of mine(Steve Richardson) made me an offer to join his video team and he also said I could bring my own guys along. Liking the offer I asked Art to join first but he is’nt very good on camera..LOL All kidding aside I knew he would turn me down so I offered Matt,Justin and a friend of mine Luke the spots and they gladly excepted!

So far this year we have had a lot of success on film. To be honest though it’s a whole different kind of hunting when your running the camera and trying to hunt. But it’s very rewarding to show your hunts to your friends later on. As of right now were just trying to get our name out there and promote our sport. After a short meeting with Art the other day we did finally manage to get him to let  us put up the Simplyoutdoors.net banner at the end of our hunt video’s. So if you get a chance stop on over and say hello. www.outdoormaniacs.net

Also here is my hunt from a few weeks ago. And make sure you check out the other hunts on the page too.  There will be a lot more video’s coming soon after we get all the editing done.

AND WE HATE HIM!!

Ok so we don’t hate him. But we do like the fact that he is tagged out for bucks for the year! Justin had this big boy following a few little does around in the swamp. At first he didn’t realize how big he was until he zoomed in on his video camera, It was then that he realized he better take the shot. At a little over 100 yards he dropped him in his tracks! What a season he has had and to top it off this hunt was all caught on video! Congrats again Justin “WE ALL HATE YOU”
