A Whole New Hunting Mind
Recently I've been reading Daniel Pinks', A Whole New Mind, and it's quite intriguing.  It came as recommended reading from my boss at work, and I was intrigued by the concept of the book right from the start. Basically, the idea behind the book is that most of us - from a young age - are instructed to pursue left-brained careers - computer programming and accounting to name a few - when, actu...
SOTV: ‘09 Turkey Hunts
Last year, Jeff and I were both successful in our turkey hunting pursuits - Jeff shot a nice jake, and I shot my first bird - a jake - as well.  And we were lucky enough to capture both of those hunts on film too. I love sharing these videos with all of you, and I love them for selfish reasons as well.  It's just great to, not only be able to re-live the moment in your mind, but also to be ab...

It's interesting this time of the year as well.  On one end it's great to see the snow disappearing and the sta...
Michigan’s Changing of the Seasons
I walked out the back door yesterday afternoon - to take out the trash - and I was promptly met by spring.  This weekend the weather has been unbelievable, especially considering that we were ice fishing just last weekend; we hit the 50 degree mark yesterday, and we're supposed to be in the high 40's, low 50's all week this week.  So much for ice fishing, I guess. What I experienced this week...

We find that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website is a little hard to navigate and that makes it hard to find the information you need.  With that in mind we created this little web page that has one-click access to some popular areas of the Michigan DNR site.
