New Jersey Second Amendment Society Comments on Christie’s Veto of Gun Control Legislation

Yesterday afternoon, Governor Christie vetoed the three most offensive gun ownership restrictions passed by the New Jersey Senate and Assembly this year. These bills were deemed the “centerpiece” of what Senate President Steve Sweeney referred to as his “National Model”. The Governor’s veto of these bills is a monumental victory for law-abiding firearms owners in the State of New Jersey. Thankfully, Governor Christie realized this type of legislation is not appropriate for New Jersey or as a model for the rest of the country. Read more

Oklahoma Coyote Control with Highly Trained Decoy Dogs

By Glen Wunderlich

When John Glynn goes hunting, he means business.  He and his decoy dogs, Nuts and Scrap, are the primary protectors of 1800 head of cattle in S.E. Oklahoma, which roam freely on his 10,000 acres.  So do the coyotes.  Lots of them.

John manages his livestock so that his cows give birth at the same time.  And, with myriad calves being born simultaneously, the coyotes can smell the “dinner bell”.  Most of the time, however, they’re coming for the afterbirth.  But, sometimes they’ll tear a newborn calf to shreds before it hits the ground.  He’ll lose about 200 calves with some 25 to 30 percent related to predation.  And, at a future value of over $1000 per animal, that’s bad business. 

And, that’s why he and his two dogs work as a team.  Read more

Making the Connection with Youth

By Glen Wunderlich

Early in life each of us develops our “likes” and “dislikes” – and, I’m not talking Facebook.  For example, I don’t know why, but I never was able to stomach lima beans regardless of my father’s fruitless attempts to get me to eat them. Of course, he knew what was good for me, but I never allowed one bean down my throat.  Nice try, Dad.

And, that’s the way it is with all of us.  We evolve through trial and error and naturally gravitate to things we like, which explains how the Mid-Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association show makes it to the top of my priority list each August.

My first show over 20 years ago was an eye-opener.  When my friend, Charley Coston, introduced me to the event, I was flabbergasted by the tons of ancient iron, which had been preserved, protected, and converted to “wow” status in many cases.  Count me as a lifer now.

And, so it is with our children.  Schools do a good job of exposing youngsters to a wide variety of subject matters.  Teachers become tool makers filling students’ tool boxes with knowledge – some will become useful, and some of it will be discarded out of hand.  But, it is the wise teacher that bridges the gap from the knowledge to possible end-use – the missing link, if you will.
