The Watersmeet Nimrods are no strangers to fame. They have been mentioned by ESPN and have even appeared on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.” The Sundance Channel is doing a documentary to portray what life in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is like.
Webster’s Dictionary defines Nimrod as – a descendant of Ham represented in the Old Testament book of Genesis as a mighty hunter and a king of Shinar. Watersmeet began using the nickname Nimrods in 1904 simply because it is a great area for hunting.

Thanks for info about the Watersmeet Nimrods–was doing a search and chose your site because of the info that popped up in the search. Wish the documentary on the Nimrods would’ve actually been aired on TBS which is where I saw it advertised–didn’t find out till later that it was on Sundance or IFC–two stations I don’t get–wish I did–used to.
Arlene,
Hey! Glad you were able to find the information you needed at our humble little blog here.
I have created a page at http://www.squidoo.com/nimrod-nation/ that has show times and information on purchasing the documentary from iTunes.
