Radians, a manufacturer of eye and ear protection for shooters and hunters, has joined the growing ranks of firearm-industry manufacturers leveraging their resources and facilities to help slow the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has donated over 14,000 N95 masks to its hometown of Memphis. According to Wes Miller, director of sales for Radians’ Sporting Goods channel, “We’re thankful for our first responders and glad that Radians can lend a helping hand during the crisis.”

In a prescient move, though the full scale of its importance could not have been fully grasped at the time, Radians added the N95 respirator to its PPE portfolio in 2018. “We knew that adding N95 respirators to our portfolio was important,” said Radians president, Bill England, “but with the COVID-19 pandemic, they have become a critical PPE item to help protect those with the highest risk of exposure. We’re happy that Radians is able to make this donation in our hometown, which has a very large medical community including St. Jude, Le Bonheur and UT Medical.” For more information on the company and their efforts, check out radians.com.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
