@ jeff
my sentiments exactly

some folks just kill with no feelings , my dad was one of those
he hated cats, dogs where tools, his horse had to do what he told it or he friggin went nuts, rabbits were lunch, kids were annoying , and women even more if they didn't do what he told them , or if they complained about him cheating...

a cat is great fun , a dog is a loyal animal, most horses are more noble then man, rabbits are cute , kids ,well , yeah , they are annoying , and women , you don't cheat on them , and you don't hit them, period

either way , my dad never thought twice about killing nothing
i do, i would if i wanted to eat one, but it's not a sport, there is no honour in killing an animal with a big gun

the only sports hunting , in my opinion , is with a knife, or maybe a bow&arrow... give the animal a sporting chance

the 8 year old kill , just goes to show , it's not difficult ( if at all the article is real and not a hoax, or dad using the kids name to rack up a kill himself...)

@ procon

nope , no bears around here
and if there were , i don't see the point in killing such an animal
unless it was causing problems, and even then , it's not up to a hunter to fix such proble, but up to a forrest ranger...

let's face it , i cannot eat a whole bear
