Don’t Point, Don’t Shoot

Put away those guns and rifles until you understand the basic tenets of gun safety. Thousands of accidents and deaths are caused each year as a direct result of gun safety ignorance. Gun safety isn’t rocket science and even a child is capable of learning a couple rules that may save his life or someone else’s. The National Rifle Association points out three fundamental gun safety rules that should never be ignored—so, whether you’ve got Remington rifles or a semi-automatic machine gun you should follow these rules.

1. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.
3. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.

Unless you’re a zoologist you probably don’t think much about how animals communicate with one another. Sure we’ve all heard of whales singing and dolphins sending sonar signs to one another, but how do the rest of animals communicate?
Deer are common in many parts of North America, and though we often see them we probably don’t know much about them.

Deer use scent to send messages to other deer. They have glands on different parts of their bodies that emit pheromones. Deer scents are used to warn other deer of impending danger or as a tool for attracting mates.
