An Outdoor Life Style
Posted Thursday, November 19, at 11:20 AM
We spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it's hunting, fishing, gathering wild eatable, cutting firewood or just working on our home. It's the simple things that give us the most enjoyment. It's great to get that big buck or catch your limit, but it's not always about that. It's about being outdoors relaxing, getting away from the everyday stresses of life and we are blessed here in Greene County to have many opportunities to get outdoors.
Several hunting seasons have been going on deer, duck & goose, quail, rabbit, squirrel to mention a few. The weather this fall has been unusually mild and some fishing has been going on. Gathering fall wild eatables has been good this year for persimmons, hickory nuts, walnuts if you know where to look. Every year people are lost in the woods whether they are hunters trailing a wounded deer or a hiker not paying attention to their surroundings or a boater / canoeist overturning in a lake, river or stream and darkness overtakes them. Many are not prepared to spend a very uncomfortable night out in the wilds or worse, hypothermia or even death from exposure. As sportsman or women would you have the skills, tools and equipment to build a fire, drink safe clean purified water, build a survival shelter in short survive the night or until help arrives?
Outdoors Events Over the last month there has been several outdoor events that we have taken part in and enjoyed very much. A guided dove hunt at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area for first time dove hunters was a great success. A light meal was served an orientation and safety talk was given by Property Manager Brad Feaster. The first time dove hunters took 83 doves. A good time was had by all. Thank You to all who participated...
In the last few weeks I thought I would tell you about some of the outdoor things that we have been doing in the last few weeks. My friend Kegan and I went on another trip to Redbird ORV area. We talked with Shawn about trail conditions and we saw the trail crew out on the trail system putting rock in some of the worst ruts and filling water holes. Also we hear that a better trail map will be available soon...

Memorial Day Weekend Many Thanks to the Men and Women serving in our military around the world for helping to preserve our freedom. I thought in this blog we would take a look at some of the things that my friends and family did over the holiday weekend. My friend Kegan and I started the weekend off by doing some catfishing on Black Creek. Fishing was a little slow that evening, but it was good to be outdoors...
Lots to do in Greene County There are many things to do in Greene County in the spring. Lets take a look at some of these. A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Red Bird ORV area. We had a good time riding the trails. The person working the gate was friendly and helpful. However there is room for improvement on the trail system and map. ...
Spring is here With a little warmer weather, fishing has picked up bluegills and crappies have been biting pretty good. If you like to use a fly rod for pan fish you can have a great time catching fish on a top water popper, not to mention a good meal. Turkey season is not far off, beginning on April 22nd and running thru May 10th. I have seen ole tom turkey out in full strut already, so it's time to get out and do some scouting to be ready for the season opener...
Here we are. Well here we are, most of the hunting seasons are over. And those seasons that are still open will be over soon. While some had a very productive year, others did not. But it's not about the game you take it's about being outdoors. There was a short time when some were able to get out and do some Ice fishing, and those folks seemed to have done very well on bluegills...
