I recently moved to Mexico for work and have started to find ways to hunt/shoot. It is NOT easy. I do however have a friend who has helped me with the process and taken me hunting a couple of times.
Last weekend he took me and my 12 year old duck hunting. We were about 45 minutes outside of Mexico City and it was incredible. We harvested 10 and it should have been 15. My boy shot his first and the scenery was amazing. Who would have thought that you could find such a place just outside of a city with more than 20 million people.

I saw this image on Facebook.   I'm sure it was posted to show that Gun deaths are lower than non gun deaths, which is interesting,  

However, in the small print it says the number one weapon used in Violent Crimes was a baseball bat.   Which begs the question:  aluminum or wood?

And a more serious question.  Do you have a baseball bat in your arsenal.  I have  a 24 inch T-Ball Bat.   Its aluminum.   I probably need to upgrade to something with more reach.

On a side note,  Al Capone's preferred weapon was a Louisville Slugger. According to legend, if someone crossed him he would call them into his office.   When the person showed up the  floor and furniture would be covered with drop-cloths and he'd make the excuse that the place was being re-painted.  Capone would get the get the guy a drink, maybe offer him a cigar, maybe even give him a bonus for a job well done.   Then as the person was about to leave, Capone's henchmen would grab him, and Capone would beat his brains out with the bat.   Then the  body would be rolled up with the drop-cloths and disposed of.   Apparently he'd also sometimes call a person in with the drop cloths laid out just to scare the crap out of the guy.   What a sense of humor!

A female co-worker of mine has a son who likes to bow hunt deer. He is 22 and hasn't hunted in several years. He decided to give it a try this year, so he went to the woods around 3:45 last Friday. He decided to stay on the ground instead of climbing the tree stand. Less than 30 minutes later, he called his dad to help him drag this guy out of the woods. Not bad for 30 minutes in the woods eh?

Why don't we replace all Gun Free Zone signs with Defenseless Victim Zone signs.  They both say exactly the same thing!  And who knows.  Someone who never thought about it before might realize what he is letting himself in for and not enter the zone.  And might just save himself from the next terrorist shooting!

(Photo: Getty Images)In a win for gun control advocates, Metro took unprecedented action Tuesday to end the 35-year tradition of holding gun shows at the city-owned Fairgrounds Nashville until operators of the events accept new rules.

Citing three recent criminal cases in Nashville that link guns purchased at the fairgrounds to felons, the Metro Board of Fair Commissioners voted 3-0, with one member abstaining, to terminate future gun shows at the fairgrounds after fulfilling any existing contracts with show operators.
The fair board plans to later adopt new safety measures and other rules that would govern any future gun shows at the fairgrounds before deciding whether to continue hosting such events.

Fair board: Mayor played no role in gun show vote

The board's action means Bill Goodman's Gun and Knife Shows, which has rented space in the fairgrounds since the 1970s, will still hold an already scheduled set of gun shows at The Fairgrounds Nashville on Saturday and Sunday. But the board canceled future events more than 30 days away. The action affects Goodman’s gun shows as well as events put on by RK Gun Show, a separate gun show operator that rents space at the fairgrounds.
“We’re responsible for this facility and the activity that goes on here,” said fair board chairman Ned Horton, who was among the three commissioners to vote for the halt. He said that he believes there’s clearly been inappropriate activity at fairgrounds gun shows that needs to be controlled.
“Based on what I’m seeing here — we’re not trial judges, but we do have information in the court system — it seems to me that our promoter, or our promoters, have not been good stewards of our property.”

There have been studies performed to evaluate whether deer whistles were effective at preventing deer-vehicle collisions (DVC).  To date the results of all of these studies were either inconclusive or found that whistles did not result in reduced DVC's.

A large Sheriff Office in Kansas, reduced their vehicle-deer accidents by 80%. I had them on my truck when I lived in Kansas. I never saw a deer when I would see them all the time without the whistles. Once I was going down a paved country road and a farm dog ran out of a shelter belt to chase my vehicle. When the dog reached the ditch he rolled around on the ground directly being effected by the deer whistle. The SO figured the vehicle had to be going45 to 50 mph for it to work. In Colorado on the mountain roads the whistle did not work when I was driving 30 to 40 mph.
