    Rednecks should all be shot no matter what place there from mayo alabamba etc.

    They should just be given a bat or something and then see who's smarter, clearly it'll be the bear.

    Smart man goes rambo on it, sets traps. Idiot goes at bear with bat. Dead in seconds. We have a (Dar)winner.

    I'm not talking about willingness, i'm talking about the brass basics......if you really want to fight, then man up and go toe to toe.

    I have a reasonably sized willy and a decent brain, so just don't feel the need.

    Its early days yet, but the bear may have been a terrorist.

    went out hunting with some of cousins in law over in Canada. If I ever move over there i'll be out hunting every weekend of hunting season. It just feels right to be out in the wilderness, hunting your prey, getting a good high up vantage point, remaining silent as the sun rises and the animals start moving out of cover to get food.

    Of course I would never kill and not eat it. I disagree with that personally. But in Canada, for a $40 Elk ticket and $20 worth of bullets you could get enough meat to feed a family for nearly a year. Plus it is fun, camping out with some friends, drinking whiskey around the camp fire then heading out hunting for the day.

    Plus don't you people know the food chain???

    Food Chain :D

    Now don't get me wrong, more animals die to feed me per week than any other boardsie i'm guessing but i just can't bring myself to eat or kill another predator. They are just too damn cute.

    Don't want to rain on your large muscle bound parade buuuuttttttt

    Tuna is a predatory fish. Free range chicken will also eat small prey.


    I am a hunter, I hunt and offer no apologies for it. it is a fantastic past time and I think all meat eaters should have to hunt, kill and cook an animal every year to appreciate what comes in the pre rapped plastic packaging.

    First time I shot a deer I nearly cried, weird I know but the guilt you feel for ending such a beautiful animals life nearly makes you not want to do it again. Anyone who thinks hunters (real hunters, not trophy hunters) get their jollies from ending lives is a tool and so off the mark that a debate with them on the topic is impossible due to their lack of any reasoning ability.

    Yeah but those animals suck. And tuna tastes like ass unless you mix it with pineapple chunks!

    ** XYZ Sucks is the best counter argument ever! :D

    Interesting, I am a tuna and peanut butter man myself but it does taste awful and I have to force it into myself at times. Low carbing at the mo and cannot touch tuna as I cant bare the taste of it anymore. one more can n I will go postal at work

    and yes as far as predators go tuna and chicken are the least of my worries. If I was in the wild I'd hardly be looking over my shoulder in fear of a chicken attack. A gorilla on the other hand is a scary beast

    A friend of mine likes to go hunting with a .22 rifle.

    A friend of his loved to go hunting rabbits, but was given a telescopic sight for his birthday.

    He quit hunting as he was unable to deal with seeing their cute little faces through the scope.

    Now, those willing to fight with fists and feet?

    You wouldn't say that if the chicken sneezed.

    The bear weighed 445lb, meaning it was 12 times the size of Tre.


    WHAT, why make a big deal out of this, a boy with a gun shot and killed a bear 12 times his size. Give any little puff a gun and they're capable of killing anything

    Would it have been an equal accomplishment had he shot his grandfather?

    Definitely more deserving imo, anyone that puts a loaded weapon in a 5 year olds hands deserves to lose their kneecaps.

    Let the bears pay the bear tax, I pay the Homer tax.
