It was American author and philosopherEric Hoffer who made the following sageobservation: "Rudeness is the weak man'simitation of strength."

If you were to have a perfectly drymouth, you wouldn't be able to taste a sin-gle thing. Researchers conducted an exper-iment in which they placed salt on a sub-ject's dry tongue, and the subject reportedabsolutely no taste at all. Once a drop ofsaliva was added, though, the taste camethrough clearly.

According to the makers of the Stetson,a 10-gallon hat actually holds only aboutthree quarts of liquid.

During the third century, SaintLawrence of Rome, a deacon to PopeSixtus II, was burned to death during aseries of persecutions of priests and dea-cons. Legend has it that while he was onthe fire, he turned to his executioners andsaid, "This side's done; turn me over andhave a bite." It was for this reason that hewas named the patron saint of butchers,roasters and comedians.

In 1950, the average executive earnedabout 30 times as much as the averageworker.

The average robin reportedly has nearly3,000 feathers. Makes you wonder whodid the counting.

Most people probably are aware of thefact that Franklin Delano Roosevelt is theonly American president who was electedto more than two terms in office - heserved three full terms and died during hisfourth term in office. Despite the fact thathe was an incredibly popular president,however, in none of his four elections didhe carry his home county of Dutchess,New York.

ShootingSafety

• Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Donot point a firearm or bow at anything you do notintend to shoot. Control the direction of the muzzleat all times. Never rest a muzzle on your toe or foot.Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until theinstant you are ready to fire. Always keep the safetyon until ready to fire; however, the safety shouldnever be a substitute for safe firearm handling.

• Trust every firearm or bow with the samerespect you would show a loaded gun or nockedarrow. Every time you pick up a firearm, the firstthing you do is check to see if it is loaded. Be surethe chamber and magazine are empty and that theaction is open until ready to be fired. If you do notunderstand how to determine if it is loaded, do notaccept the firearm until someone has safely shownyou that it is unloaded. Read your instruction manualcarefully before you handle new firearms or bows.

• Be sure of your target and what is in front ofand beyond your target. Before you pull the triggeryou must properly identify game animals. Until yourtarget is fully visible and in good light, do not evenraise your scope to see it. Use binoculars! Knowwhat is in front of and behind your target. Determinethat you have a safe backstop or background. Sinceyou do not know what is on the other side, nevertake a shot at any animals on top of ridges or hill-sides. Know how far bullets, arrows and pellets cantravel. Never shoot at flat, hard surfaces, such aswater, rocks or steel because of ricochets.

• Unload firearms and unstring conventional bowswhen not in use. Leave actions open, and store sport-

ing arms in cases when traveling toand fromshooting areas. Take bolts out or break down

shotguns, if necessary. Know how yourequipment operates. Store and transport

firearms and ammunition separatelyand under lock and key. Store

firearms and bows in cool, dryplaces. Use gun or trigger locks

and guards when not in use.• Handle the firearms, arrows

and ammunition carefully. Avoidhorseplay with firearms. Never climb a fence, a treeor a ladder with a loaded firearm or bow and arrows.Never jump a ditch or cross difficult terrain with aloaded firearm or nocked arrow. Never face or lookdown the barrel from the muzzle end. Be sure theonly ammunition you carry correctly matches thegauge or caliber you are shooting. Always carryarrows in a protected cover or quiver. Learn theproper carries. Try to use the two-hand carry when-ever possible because it affords you the best muzzlecontrol. Always carry handguns with hammers overan empty chamber or cylinder. If you fall, be sure todisassemble the gun and check the barrel from thebreech end for obstructions. Carry a field cleaningkit.

• Know your safe zone-of-fire and stick to it.Your safe zone-of-fire is that area or direction inwhich you can safely fire a shot. It is "down range"at a shooting facility. In the field it is that mentalimage you draw in your mind with every step youtake. Be sure you know where your companions areat all times. Never swing your gun or bow out ofyour safe zone-of-fire. Know the safe carries whenthere are persons to your sides, in front of, or behindyou. If in doubt, never take a shot. When hunting,wear daylight fluorescent orange so you can be seenfrom a distance or in heavy cover.

• Control your emotions when it comes to safety.If you lose control of your emotions you may dosomething carelessly. If you have just shot a target oranimal you probably will be excited. At that momentyou may turn with a loaded firearm back towardsyour friends or you might run with a loaded firearm

towards a downed animal with the gun safety off. You or some-one else may be in danger once you lose control of your emo-tions. Show discipline. Rehearse in your mind what the safeactions will be. Do not allow your daydreams to prelace goodjudment. Show restraint and pass up shots which have theslightest chance of being unsafe.

• Wear hearing and eye protection. While shooting at therange, you must wear hearing and eye protection at all times.Firearms are loud and can create noises which are damaging toa person's hearing. It can be a gradual loss of hearing due tooutbursts of noise over many years. The damage could also beimmediate, especially if your ears are next to a muzzle blast.Vibrations from the blast are enough to create loss of hearing.Wear glasses to protect your eyes from escaping gases, burntpowder (especially in blackpowder shooting), and other debris.

• Don't drink alcohol or take drugs before or while handlingfirearms or bow and arrows. Alcohol and drugs impair normalphysical and mental body functions and mustn't be used beforeor while handling firearms or archery equipment. These sub-stances affect emotions, making it easier to lose control.

• Be aware of additional circumstances which require addedcaution or safety awareness. Just because something isn't listedunder these "ten commandments of shooting safety" doesn'tmean you can ignore it if it is dangerous. There may be rulessuch as in muzzleloading or archery or posted at a shootingrange which should also be followed. Also, practice reloadingsafety by following and reading all specific instructions.Practice all commandments of shooting safety. Ensure a safefuture for you, others and theshooting sports!

You use calls for ducks, geese and turkeys, but as fordeer, that's just not something you do. You'd rather track adeer than try to call it to you. There are some hunters,though, who swear by deer calling and are adept at it, espe-cially when it comes to deer rattling.

Deer rattling is exactly what it sounds like, the rattle ofdeer antlers. It is based on the idea that bucks that hear rat-tling will assume that a fight is taking place over a doe andapproach. Rattling works best during the peak of the rut ongrounds with a high buck-to-doe ratio or a large number ofdominant bucks.

Before a hunter uses the rattling technique, they need toscout for the areas bucks use regularly. These are sites wherebucks eat, spar and sleep and where does eat as well. Thehunter should set up in an area where they can spot the deerbefore it spots them. Bucks tend to approach rattling fromdownwind, so the hunter should look for an area wherebucks are less likely to circle their position. They may evenwant to enlist the help of another hunter. One hunter canstand ready downwind while the other sits in a tree standunder dense cover and rattles.

The hunter should choose a time to start the rattle early inthe morning when bucks are out and about and prepare thearea well. Deer in general feel safer during low light condi-tions when fewer hunters are around. The hunter should dis-guise all unfamiliar scents and set up some decoys to keepbucks coming. They may use authentic racks or syntheticones in a neutral shade that will limit visibility. Generally,

the larger the rack, the louder it will be. Designed specifical-ly for rattling, many of the synthetic ones will be easier onthe hands and reduce the risk of injuries.

The hunter should try to make their rattling as realistic aspossible. They should crash and grind the racks together tosimulate a fight among bucks, make some aggressive grunts,sniffs and wheezes, rustle the leaves and pound the groundwith a stick. After a few minutes, they should stop and listenfor a buck to approach. It may take a while for a buck toappear, so the hunter should resume the rattle every 10 to 15minutes, using short, loud sequences, until they see a buck.As the buck comes closer, the hunter should rattle more soft-ly or use a grunt call to coax it into range and keep it there.

If there is no response, the hunter should wait half anhour and try again, only this time a quarter to half a mile far-ther away. Hunters should not try to rattle the same site dayafter day. Any bucks within the area may sense that some-thing is not quite right and refuse to come. Should the huntersee a buck, they will definitely want to change sites. Thechances of rattling the same buck in the same site day afterday are slim.

Rattling does not always work, of course. Bucks alreadywith a doe will not come running in fear of losing that doe,whereas bucks that are smaller may not come running in fearof losing the battle to a larger buck. It never hurts to try thetechnique, though. Hunters just might be successful and havemore than one buck approach.

Deer rattling works best with procedure Fishing vacation?Fishing vacations run the gamut from short

weekend trips at popular lakeside resorts to extend-ed package tours at remote sites. You can even goon a fishing trip abroad. You can plan your ownfishing vacation or you can seek the help of a travelagent or a fishing guide.

Before you do anything, you need to determinewhat type of trip you're after. Do you want to dosome freshwater or saltwater fishing? Do you wantto fish for trout, bass or some other species? Doyou want to fly solo or fish with a group? Do youwant to travel near or far?

The answers to these questions should give yousome idea of the vacation you are seeking andwhere you should start your search. If you are look-ing for a saltwater adventure among friends in aremote location, then you will probably want to calla travel agent and look for a package deal.

As with any vacation, you will want to look forthe best deals and check out the amenities offered.Find out the perks and the rates.

Deciding to go on a fishing vacation is easy.Planning one, on the other hand, can be difficult.Check out all of the options and do your best toselect the right one, even if it is just loading up thepickup, driving across the state line and pitching atent near some stream.

Find the bestfishing spot

You haven't been fishing in years, butnow that you're retired, you're looking for-ward to spending many a day fishing bythe bank. You've heard there are somegood places to fish nearby, but you'regoing to have to see for yourself. Let thesearch for the perfect fishin' holes begin.

Because you plan to fish often, you willdefinitely want to restrict your search tothe local area. What's the point in spendingmore hours in the car than at the fishin'hole? You will also want to determine thetype of fish you're after. Why check outcatfish locales if you're after trout?

Once you have an idea where you wantto go, you can start making a list of poten-tial spots. Write down all of the good onesyou've heard about and ask friends andfamily for recommendations. Stop in atyour local marinas and bait and tackleshops and ask around. The staff and clien-tele there should know about all of thelocal fishing spots.

Should you come up short, don'tdespair. There are other resources. Checkwith the public relations department atyour state fish and wildlife agency.Conduct a search on the Web. Chances areyou will come across many blogs, mes-sage boards and the like discussing thebest local fishing spots. If all else fails, geta map of your area and start checking outall of the lakes, rivers and streams.

Rank the spots you come up with andpay the top ones a visit. This will give youa chance to see what the fishing is reallylike there. Don't be afraid to approach anyanglers you see and get their opinions ofthe place. Find out how often they come tothe spot and what kind of a catch theymake. Get out your pole and do some fish-ing of your own.

Finding the right fishin' holes takeswork. Be prepared to put in the time, anddon't expect to get it right the first go-around. It might take you a few tripsbefore you find the best spots for you.

Boating Safety for HuntersWhen boating, each person on board

should wear a life jacket or other personalfloatation device. Don't overload the boat.Check the capacity plate, and never exceedthe weight limit or number of people yousafely can have aboard. Consider theweight of your passengers and equipment.Hunters and their dogs should alwaysremain seated. If you must move, stay inthe center of the boat and keep a low cen-ter of gravity. Always check the weather,and stay on shore if bad weather occurs oris expected. Tell a responsible personwhere you are going and when you willreturn. You should also observe the rulesof safe firearms handling and transport.

All firearms being transported in a boatduring hours of darkness should beunloaded and cased. Hypothermia is anadded danger when hunting around water.This loss of inner body heat most com-monly occurs when the air temperature isbetween 30 and 50 degrees. Carry extraclothes in a waterproof bag. Keep a sur-vival kit with you, including matches in awaterproof container. This allows you tobuild a fire for warmth and to dry yourclothes if wet.

If your boat capsizes, stay with it. If theboat is still afloat, climb on top. You'remore likely to survive if you're not in thewater. Wear your life jacket. This keepsyou warmer and your head above water.Use common sense when boating to yourfavorite hunting spot. Allow extra time soyou don't forget important safety precau-

tions. Don't let your next waterfowling tripturn into a tragedy.

Hunting Safety TipsDon't rely on your gun's safety. Treat all

weapons as if they're loaded and ready tofire. Never cross a fence, climb a tree orstand or jump in a ditch with a loaded gun.Never hoist a loaded weapon into a stand.Never load or carry a loaded weapon untilyou are ready to use it. Always unloadweapons before reding in any vehicle,including ATVs.

Watch your muzzle so the other fellowdoesn't have to. Wear hunter orange so youcan be seen. A blaze orange hat and atleast 400 square inches of hunter orangeabove the waist-line should be worn dur-ing all gun deer seasons. It should be wornat all times, not taken off once in the stand.

Keep guns and ammunition seperatelyand in locked storage. Don't shoot unlessabsolutely sure of your target and what isbeyond it. Know the range of yourweapon. Remember, even a .22 rimfire cantravel over 2-1/2 miles. Always wear eyeand ear protection when shooting firearms.

Always be sure your gun barrel andaction are clear of obstructions, and onlycarry ammunition specifically intended forthe weapon you're using. Always carryhandguns with the hammer down on anempty chamber. Avoid alcholic beveragesbefore and during shooting. Tell someonewhere you're going and when you plan toreturn. If you move from one area toanother advise someone.

Dress for the weather, take a compassand maps to prevent from getting lost, andbe alert for other sources of danger such as

poisonous snakes. Carry a flashlight whilewalking through the hunting area before orafter daylight.

Hunting EthicsAs the hunter learns the basics of hunt-

ing safety, he must also develop certainresponsibilities to the sport. An under-standing of game laws, sporting codes andwildlife management are as important ashandling a weapon safely. All hunters mustdevelop a code that make them goodhunters. This code is called "hunterethics."

Obey all the rules of safety and insistthat those around you do the same. Obeyall game laws and insist that those huntingwith you do likewise. Do your best toacquire marksmanship and hunting skillsthat assure clean, sportsmanlike skills.Support conservation efforts that assuregood hunting for future generations.

Don't be a slob. Keep your campsiteneat, and don't offend others by openlydisplaying your kill in camp or on yourvehicle. Pass along to other hunters theattitudes and skills essential to being a trueoutdoor sportsman.

Tree-Stand SafetyWhen using a tree stand, always adhere

to the follwing safety rules, and the chance

of an accident can be minimized.Wear a safety belt. If your stand col-

lapses, a safety belt will prevent you fromfalling. Don't leave much slack in the belt.One or two feet of slack will allow you toturn 360 degrees, and if a fall occurs,you'll only fall one or two feet.

Use a cord or rope to raise and lowerall equipment from the stand, keeping yourhands free for climbing. Keep equipmenton the opposite side of the tree from whichyou are climbing, so if you do fall, youwon't fall on your equipment. Inspect yourstand. Check for loose or rotten boards,loose nuts and bolts, and replace wornchains or straps.Practice setting up yourstand. Be familiar with the workings of thestand before you go to the woods. Beforeusing manufactured stands, always readthe instructions and warnings. Tell adependable person where you're huntingand when you'll return. If you're injuredand can't get out of the wood, someonewill know where to look for you.

Pick a mature tree on which to secureyour stand. Do not use a tree that is rottenor has dead limbs that may fall on thestand. Clear the tree of any limbs thatcould cause a fall, but get permissionbefore you start clearing. If you're notallowed to cut limbs, use cords to tie themback.

Tree-standContinued from P.7

If the weather turns bad, return to the ground. High winds make stands unstable. Rain,snow or sleet can cause you to slip. Extra precautions are needed in these situations.Don't fall asleep. This is a common cause of accidents. If you get drowsy, leave the standand walk around to wake yourself up.

Remember, the higher you are in your stand, the further you might fall. If you do fall,don't panic. Try to determine the injuries you have. Check for spinal cord injuries bywiggling your feet and legs. If you suspect you have this type of injury, don't move.

Stop excess bleeding. Check for broken bones, and if you think you have any, supportthem with splints. Carry a survival kit at all times. Include matches, string, candy bars, awhistle and other items that can make an overnight stay more comfortable.

If you told someone where you are and when you're expected to return, help shouldbe on its way. Hunting safely from a stand depends on what you do before you hunt.Being prepared is the best way to prevent tree stand accidents.pulling the trigger.

Unwelcome GuestsDuring the early part of deer season, especially in the west, rattle snakes will still be

active. Items left on the ground during your camping should be checked before loadingup to return home.

Stay alive!Teach these methods and rules to your children and family members.
