Most Ridiculous News Item (of all time)
Hunting season just opened up in most states this week and there will be a lot of hunters out there in the woods, stalking deer, elk and other assorted critters. In the interests of public safety, I urge all hunters to make sure you wear highly visible day-glo orange vests to make sure other hunters can see you and (hopefully) aim elsewhere. However, if you’re in Louisiana it just might be a good idea to stay home until it’s all over. Trust me on that one ...
Blind Students Get A Shot At Deer Hunting
RUSTON, La. (ESPN)
Six people from the Louisiana Center for the Blind in Ruston got an opportunity this past weekend to do something they never thought they’d be able to do — go deer hunting. Toting shotguns, the blind hunters were part of the “Shot in the Dark” hunt in Caldwell Parish organized by the National Wild Turkey Federation. The hunt on Saturday and Sunday was the first time the Wheelin’ Sportsmen, an outreach effort by the federation, has been held.
“This hunt was set up to help folks with disabilities get out and have an outdoor experience,” said Greg Brown, Wheelin’ Sportsmen regional coordinator. The six hunters got their first chance Friday to practice shooting at the Ouachita Parish Public Shooting Range just east of Monroe. Each is teamed with a guide who sits behind him or her.
As a hunter holds the gun, a guide looks over the hunter’s shoulder down the barrel and tells the hunter where to adjust the aim and when to pull the trigger. Each hunter was also briefed on safety procedures. Jumar Johnson, 29, smiled proudly after taking his first shots at a paper target. He carried around his target, which showed a bullseye hit in the center.
“I didn’t think anybody would trust me out in the woods,” Johnson said. “This will be my first time to hunt, and I’m looking forward to taking home the biggest deer out there.” With the cooperation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the hunt was held on an island near the Columbia Locks and Dam. Lead Park Ranger Tony Porter said the island features about 350 acres of good hunting land.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
