Davy Crocket reincarnate??

5-Year-Old Kills 400-Pound Bear Boy Is Davy Crockett Descendant.

Some quotes:

Quote:

"I was up in the stand and I seen the bear," Tre Merritt said. "It came from the thicket and it was beside the road and I shot it."

Quote:

Q. So, why did you drop Davy Crockett in the headline?
A. Because this kid is the 10th great-grandson of Davy Crockett, who supposedly killed a bear when he was three

So, because this kid is a descendant of Davy, they had to go out and kill an innocent Bear.

(Insert sarcasim)

Quote:

Bears are a menace. They are killing machines, bent on the destruction of the human race and -- even worse -- American values. What, then, are we to do to combat this scourge?

And my favorite line:

Quote:

Q. OK, so what's the point?
A. Something is seriously wrong with Arkansas.

Small Child Kills Large Bear; Davy Crockett Smiles From Heavenly Perch

That kid's no Crockett - he killed him a bear when he was only 3. ;)

5 is the new 3.

Old age in Davy Crockett times was 42.

Was this done during hunting season?
Did they have a permit?

Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about hunting and killing of innocent animals, but if the bear was killed during hunting season and they will be using the meat and fur then I can't be all that outraged.

Now if you'll excuse me, my Chef's salad (with turkey and ham) is calling my name.

Oh, if only Steven Colbert could rant about this on the Colbert Report. Stupid strike is on my WARNING LIST!

ETA: heh, that "favorite quote" of RStar's is someone paraphrasing my beloved SC!

Well, the kid is shown sitting on a bear skin rug (fully clothed of course ;) ), so they may have used the fur (though we don't know if it is the same bear).

I'd have to think they would have had a permit and it was hunting season, otherwise we may not have heard about it.
