Do You Think This Is Right

[hopper44]

A boy aged five shoots and kills a black bear,he does not need a lience to own a rifle,most states in America dont have age limit for owning a weapon.
(fox news)

[boo_cocky]

Yeah, there was talk about this on ESPN.

Personally, I think it's fucked up...but, I'm not a hunter and it's not my kid. If the parents know what they're doing and teach the kid properly, I dunno...he's still under 18, so it's on them if something goes wrong.

Something about a kid that young handling a gun just doesn't sit well with me, though. He supposedly starting hunting when he was 2...WTF? There's no way a kid that young can comprehend what he's doing, or how dangerous what he's doing is.

[hopper44]

I totally agree with you Iam not against people hunting and owning weapons but a kid that age come on
I think America should have an age limit on owing weapons thats my thoughts

Honestly, I'm surprised they don't...you can't do anything in America anymore.

So, you can't smoke in your own car...but you can give a two year old a shotgun and let him operate it?

Yeah, that's rational.

[Josh85]

Hunting shit like bears (that you don't eat) with a rifle is kinda of lame to begin with.

I mean if you can't kill it with your bare hands then you shouldn't be trying to kill it at all.

Killing a large predator with a gun doesn't prove anything.. wow.. point and shoot.. congratulations you just proved you're a pansy who can't fight fair.

If you want to take on powerful animals do it with your bear hands, punch the fucker to death and prove how manly you really are. (It might also make you look like a violent psychopath but a manly one nonetheless).

[Big Ozzie]

The story is Bullshit. A five year old does not have the strength to lift a Rifle enough impact to kill a Bear, let alone hold it steady, aim, shoot and keep it tight to their shoulder to prevent injury from the recoil!

My call? BULLSHIT!

[verticalkiller]

Thats what I was thinking Ozzie, I'd imagine if he were involved in the action i'd guess someone was helping him so he wouldn't get hurt and gave him the credit? Like wn you teach people to play gold or pool.

[logandk]

And the goverment wonder why all these kids go out and shoot people.
Ans stab each other every time you look at the news all over the world there are kids killing each other.

This kid should be remove from his family as said above he could not control a gun.If he did shoot the bear it was luck he could not have the muscel to aim and fire.

Maybe next time its the grandad that gets shot and not the bear.

Do You Think This Is Right ? my answer is no I don't

[sib]

There is more to this story than is being reported.

1) A license is needed for the hunt and every state has an age limit, usually about 12, this gun requires no license, but requires a NICs check at purchase.

2) Hunter's Safety classes are a requirement in every state that I can think of and I don't think a 5 year old is old enough, it is generally 1 year before your legal hunting age.

3) Just because a child hunts and uses a gun does not mean the child owns said gun, it could be his father's or another family members and I'm sure it would be locked up between uses.

4) As the big one said, most 5 year olds would not be able to handle the recoil of a large caliber rifle, which would be required for large game, like a bear. We're not talking .22s here, we're talking .270, 30-06 and the magnum rounds for black bear, most 5 year olds could not shoulder and take the recoil. They, however, could trip the trigger while dad shouldered the rifle.

Maybe not a bullshit story, but definitely key information has been left out, imo.

[HeyBuddy]

A) You don't own anything at the age of 5. Your parents own it.

B) If find it hard to believe that the parent's hands ever left the rifle. If it was powerful enough to drop a bear, it was powerful enough to knock over a 5 year old.

C) I don't think that hunting turns kids into future Columbine shooters. I think that kids who grow up hunting have more respect for firearms. They don't get their perception of guns from movies and video games. They know the consequences are final, and have seen it first hand. They relate guns with hunting, and not GTA, drug deals and shooting sprees.

[DaisyDontDuke]

Where I live hunting is very common, actually if you aren't a hunter you are considered abnormal. (not bears though)

I rather doubt the 5 yr. old boy got up one morning , said I'm going bear hunting, grabbed his gun, and headed off.

He didn't shoot that gun all by himself. No way. His dad was probably there, they were up in a stand, saw a bear, his dad held the gun and sighted the bear, and then asked his son to pull the trigger. I don't have a problem with that (if that's how it happened). I do have a problem with MANY other things that parents let their kids do.

I don't really see the point in bear hunting though. We hunt for deer, cause we eat the meat.

Very true.:xyxthumbs:

[HeyBuddy]

I see kids around here under the age of 10, running around in packs, without their parents. They are singing rap lyrics, and talking about Grand Theft Auto.

If it were me, I'd rather my kid spend the weekend hunting with me, than listening to gangsta rap and playing GTA with his buddies.

LMAO...that's a great visual Daisy.

"Hey DAAAAAAD!"
"Yeah son."
"I'm going to go shoot a bear. I'll be back in time for lunch."
"Don't forget your hat. We're having StoveTop Stuffing, so don't be late."

[Big Ozzie]

Okay...so you are flipping through the back of "Field and Stream"..."Outdoor Life"..."NorthAmericanHunter"..."Big Game Magazine"...or any of many other Hunting and/or Fishing magazines.
In the back you will find ads for Bear/Moose/Deer hunts in areas of Northern Maine and other Northern States, as well as different provinces in Canada.
You sign up for one of these "guaranteed results" hunts, pay about $1,000.00 to $5,000.00 (US) and go.
I know...I did.
The day after I arrived we went out to hunt Bear.
The hunters (6) piled into the back of an old truck and we drove down a logging road where most of the trees had been clear cut and there were "tops" piled all over.
The driver would stop and yell "Next...your stand is over there"
What was the stand?
An old 5 gallon bucket next to a tree!
From there, you had the view of a bait station that was set up for the Bears.
What was the Bait? Road Kill or the Carcass of a previous hunt? A side of Beef?
NOPE! Stale Donuts from a bakery in town and they have Honey Poured on them!
So I sit there for about 45 minutes, along comes a Bear. At first I thought that it was a dog, but realized that it was just a Black Bear with saddle markings and a white muzzle.
It was so small, that I did not shoot...after dark, the truck came back and picked me up.
Back at camp, three of the hunters were showing off their Bears. Not one of them were as big as the one I saw and did not shoot. The largest weighed about 140lbs dressed (220-240 live). They were all standing around taking pictures and bragging.
The next day, I declined to go on the Hunt, instead I went fishing for Walleye and Pike.
NEVER AGAIN will I go on one of those advertised hunts.
I have come face to face with Grizzly Bears near my Fathers ranch in Wyoming. I would rather take my chances hunting something that will hunt and kill me than shoot something that is eating out of a garbage pile!

BTW...I have always eaten what I have hunted and killed. That includes Bear!

[yup]

No doubt about it:xyxthumbs:

[brownbearclan]

Well regardless if this story is true or not, I just wish they would at least hunt something that is going to be used for food. It just seems really disrespectful to me to kill something otherwise.



I don't really see the point in bear hunting though. We hunt for deer, cause we eat the meat.

Yeah I definately agree, trophy hunting is lame imo.

Exactly. I was around guns a lot as a child, I was even allowed to fire the .22 and clean it. I see a gun for what it is. A dangerous weapon, especially in the wrong hands. I would have no problem letting my child fire a weapon under my supervision though. When they were ready of course.

As long as you eat what you kill, I don't really have any support to argue with. But as for killing just for sport, then that's just plain animal cruelty.

[HeyBuddy]

Two really good reasons.
1) Good eats.
2) Population control. Sometimes the DNR opens up the state parks for hunting if the population of dear gets too high. Overpopulation can threaten the entire population, due to an outbreak of disease.

Unless you're a vegetarian, I don't know how you can say hunting is wrong. Like Ted Nugent said, "You roll up to the drive-thru window, and say, 'kill me a burger'.".

[boo_cocky]

I think it all depends on the motive behind the killing...

If those deer were killed to be trophies, then yeah, it's wrong. If they were killed for their meat, and the 'trophy' was secondary, I don't have a problem with it.

I do think it's kinda funny when hunters brag about their prey, though...like, it makes them a 'good' hunter that they got a huge animal.

You have a gun...and you're perched in a tree for hours...you shoot when you have a clear shot and the animal is worth shooting...it's pretty much that, it doesn't make you a 'good' hunter, it means you sat around long enough to have an animal come your way.

I've seen shows on ESPN where 11 year old girls took down big deer...they'd NEVER been hunting before...it's not a 'talent'. I know guys that hunt several times a year, and haven't gotten a buck in two years now...and they supposedly know what they're doing...lol

Welcome,
to a land where you can raise your child to be a racist pedophile as long as your child doesn't break any laws.

That is the essence of freedom, freedom to do as you see fit without govt. interference as long as you're within the boundry of the laws. That includes freedom to teach hate, racism, misogyny and intolerance. I would rather have freedom and the occassional dirtbag that comes with freedom, than surrender my freedom and have someone make choices for me.

I despise the type of people I mentioned above, but freedom is bigger and more important than those individuals and freedom should never be given away because someone is offended, including myself.

Because they knew that it would get attention. Some guy said it happened. They knew that nobody could disprove it, but people would talk about it, just like we are. I'm sure a lot of people went to their websites to check out the story. It's all about driving up web traffic, and tv ratings.

Actually, Arkansas doesn't have an age limit I learned after checking into licensing requirements. You are required to have a hunting license.

I'm not sure where you got the notion that they were not hunting their own land, but it's a moot point whether their land or not. The game that I have on my land does not belong to me, it belongs to the state of Michigan and when I hunt my land I am still required to have a license. This took place in Arkansas and I don't know all their rules, but I'd bet one still has to purchase a license even to hunt their land.

I don't know the laws in Arkansas, but where I live the 5 yr old could be ticketed for shooting the animal, because he didn't have a valid license.

I believe that photo is shopped. No shadows, no catch lights...shopped. Also notice the mounts cover the trim around the window...no body would place them like that. Not even a hint of a shadow around the hardwood plaque of the mounts...definitely shopped.

what the fuck? if i own 50 acres, you better damn well know the government aint interfering in my land unless they know I have a marijuana grove or something like that.

[boo_cocky]

hmmm...I wasn't aware the game wasn't 'yours' if it was on your land...I guess it makes sense, though.

Everything belongs to the state...lol

[sib]

what the fuck? if i own 50 acres, you better damn well know the government aint interfering in my land unless they know I have a marijuana grove or something like that.

Don't know the laws in KY, but I bet it would be similar to MI. Think of it this way, could you make a wild animal your pet, say a bear? Most states would require you to have a permit to have such an animal. Additionally, given the home range of many animals is larger than how man dices up the land, it makes sense, because wild things should have the room to move around.

If I were to build a fence around the 300 acres we have for hunting, I would be required to pay the state for any animals contained in the enclosure.

Again, I don't know the laws in KY, or AK for that matter. I do know the laws in MI, tho.

True. I think it's photoshoped as well. Although I have seen many houses almost like this. I have two in my living room and my dad has 5 in his. My uncle has about 7 or 8 in his house hanging up. It's a very common thing around where I live. We mount the deer if it is a good size.

We have always ate the meat. Last year we gave a deer away to a family who didn't have much money for groceries. A whole deer puts alot of meat in the freezer, for little money. The dad had been hunting for some meat and had no luck. My husband happened to get a deer and decided to give it to them.

I take two deer a year and the guys that come to our camp usually take some deer, also. We have complete processing facilities complete with electric meat grinder, sausage stuffer, smoker and vacuum sealer. The season is winding down here with muzzleloader, late season archery and then a late season antlerless season to control areas with population problems. I'll be out with the muzzleloader tomorrow, as I have one restricted tag left (at least 4 pts 1" or longer on a side).
