Yeah.... he's quite the hunter.... even better than that kid playing Deer Hunter 3 at the arcade....

These kinds of people really piss me off. No respect for the animals they "hunt". They just wanna look cool and feel tough killing something...

pathetic.....

[JBucc]

I've seen video of people doing that with wild cats which is bad enough, but buying a tamed bear to shoot it? WTF?

[Saulbadguy]

Never heard of him.

[Rooster]

I hope he gets the full punishment of the law. What a chicken $hit..... :cuss:

[Iowanian]

Aahhhhhhh how cute, they gave the bear a name "cubby".

I'm not a fan at all of enclosed hunting, but I think its important to understand that the "enclosed pen" probably wasn't a dog kennel. I'm guessing it was several hundred acres. There are hunting and deer ranches all over the country, one near my home that is 10,000 acres of high fence, privately owned animals.

My biggest problem is with the "tame" label they apply to the bear. Plus, I wonder what the issue is with using a license to tag a game farm bear.

The article certainly makes it sound like more than just a private farm type of killing.

Whats your fuggin point? It was a tame bear. It probably rode it's unicycle right up to him while wearing a fez or somthing. There is no excuse for this type of behavior. It gives good hunters like myself a bad image.

Agreed, but where's the rush in killing a bear that would probably stand on its head if you told it to?

[Iowanian]

There isn't. I wouldn't approve of that, and wouldn't do it personally.

If you go to Alaska or Canada to hunt Wild bears, usually you sit in a tree stand sitting over a barrel of dog food.

I don't see it as much different than the rich guys who pay to 'hunt monster whitetails' near where I grew up, in a high fenced area, with timed feeders. The difference I see here, is the bear has a cute name.

I'm in no way defending what he did as "sportsman", but I think there is a difference between tieing the family pet to a tree and calling it a hunt, and purchasing a privately owned animal thats turned out. The same thing is done with Elk, Buffalo, Exotics on game ranches every day.

Maybe I"m missing something. He obviously did something wrong with the tag and deserves punishment if guilty.

[GoHuge]

lol

makes this kind of a funny video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsTmcnWKfaQLOL that's some funny shit, considering.

[Iowanian]

What is a "tame" bear?

Was it laying on its back getting its tummy scratched by the owner right before the hunt?
Was it privately owned and in a cage/pen?


I think all hunters realize that what he did wasn't necessarily something we would approve of, but I keep in mind that the article as written by a CNN reporter who likely knows very little about hunting.

[jspchief]

What is a "tame" bear?I don't know. I consider "tame" something entirely different from pen raised.

The article isn't clear enough to really determine the details like that. I just question if it would even be newsworthy if it was just him shooting an animal on a game farm.

[Iowanian]

Would the author of the article know the difference? Do they despise hunting? For all I know, the reporter of this story is a Peta activist.

I don't agree in concept with what he did at all, and I'm not defending the accused, but I'd like to know a little more about the story before I'm of the mind to think he Murdered a teddy bear.

I thought the reason he was charged, was for shooting a privately owned animal, and tagging it with a DNR wild game tag?

EXACTLY! :clap:

I am a fan of him and their music. And, I am a hunter. I don't agree to shooting tame animals or animals in captivity. I haven't read what really happened and am very interested to know the whole story. I heard a statement his lawyer gave on the radio this morning. Troy had no idea what he did was unlawful. It would be nice to hear it from a source other than a very liberal biased CNN.

[Bob Dole]

Cubby nooooooooooooo!

[sedated]

tame does not equal trained.

he didn't pick it up at the local circus.


and this wouldn't even be in the news if this guy wasn't a celebrity for some reason (I have no clue who he is)

[InChiefsHeaven]

Personally, I can't understand why you would kill a bear in the wild, let alone on a preserve. I suppose if you planned on eating it...

...I'm a hunter, but I eat what I hunt. I don't like the idea of shooting predators...except when you are attacked by one.

Yeah. good point. I only kill what me and my family eat as well. I have hunted black bear before but never shot one. You can eat them but there's far better game meat out there. I guess some people like the trophy rug to have in front of the fire.

[Iowanian]

What if the Bear wasn't tame enough to pet...and the "cage" was 500 acres? What if he ate the bear meat, tanned the fur into a rug and has the skull bleached?

I fail to believe that he shot Yogi the Friendly Circus bear in a dog kennel.


I'd like to take a bear with a bow once.

Oh, don't get me wrong, people who hunt bears or mountain lions or whatever, it's your choice. Personally, I won't do it, but as long as it is a regulated hunt so the population doesn't get decimated, have at it.

...and I agree, he probably was on a large acreage or something. Not shooting a bear in a playpen...

What a ****ing pussy. Yeah it takes a real man to go hunt for something in an enclosed space that doesn't shoot back. Go enlist to fight over in Iraq if you're feeling like such a badass. I'm no member of PETA but these are the actions of a repressed homo.

I don't care what size the pen is, buying an animal to put in an enclosure and kill isn't "hunting".

I'm not a hunter personally, but I don't have a problem with it. I'd think having the animal in a pen would take all the fun out of it. Not much sport there...

[Iowanian]

I guess I'll not bother advertising my idea for a unique bow hunting experience. Retired shetlin party ponies tied on a carosel.



Once again...this "Enclosed pen" could easily be a high fence around thousands of acres.

To Montgomery Gentry Fans and Friends
August 16th, 2006To Montgomery Gentry Friends and Fans:

You are probably aware of the allegations made against Troy Gentry in a federal indictment filed in Duluth, MN yesterday. Unfortunately, the false accusations made against Troy in the indictment have been reported in the media as a statement of fact.

These charges are very serious, and the potential penalties are very severe. Troy has hired the best trial lawyer in the state of Minnesota to represent him in this manner. Accordingly, Troy's attorney has advised him not to make any statements about the facts of this case.

Since Troy cannot speak for himself, I feel it is important to give you some perspective on this case that has not yet been reported in the media. Troy is accused of conspiring with a professional hunting guide to improperly fill out a hunting tag. To back up this charge, the indictment claims that Troy shot a tamed bear in a cage, then made a video to appear that he did not shoot the bear in a cage, but in the wild. These claims are wildly inaccurate.

The bear in question was never in a cage or pen; not when it was killed or at anytime prior to that. This wild bear occupied its own habitat (consisting of several acres of woodlands) on a game preserve owned by the codefendant. Troy shot the bear with a bow and arrow from a tree stand mounted on the private game preserve. Troy did video tape this hunt for his personal use, but did not edit it to make it appear anything other than what it was. He did not distribute the video for commercial use or intend to use it to mislead anyone.

Troy is an avid environmentalist and hunter who supports and follows all game laws. Before he killed the bear he was told by the bear guide that it was proper and legal to kill the bear which again was not a tamed bear and was never in a pen or cage. Troy reported the kill to the wildlife authorities and tagged the bear per the guidance of his professional guide. This all occurred in October 2004.

Troy is disheartened that he has been falsely accused, and looks forward to speaking with the US Attorney's handling this case. A press release regarding the indictment was serviced to the media by the US Attorney's office in Minneapolis immediately following the arraignment. Although they were aware of Troy's legal counsel, they did not include his contact information in their press release as is customary. Thus the media ran with the false information on Tuesday evening without contacting anyone on Troy's behalf.

The result is that Troy has been convicted in the court of public opinion without fair representation. A true travesty of justice for a guy who truly loves God's creation, treats it with respect, and obeys the laws designed to preserve and maximize its splendor.

Please continue to support Troy and Montgomery Gentry in this time of crisis.

Sincerely,
Johnny Dorris

Thanks for setting me straight...

[jspchief]

Wow, I bet I have to turn in my man card now, huh?I didn't say a thing about man cards, nor did I imply that hunting was any type of indicator of machismo.

You asked what the rush is in shooting a bear. My response was an honest answer. If you've never hunted, you wouldn't understand that there is a rush. There's an incredible rush that goes with many aspects of hunting. Whether it's stalking, trying to remain hidden while an animal approaches, or actually taking a shot intended to kill the animal. I've done a lot of "exciting" things in my life and very few provide the rush that comes with hunting.

I don't care if you or anyone else hunts. I also don't care if you're against it, I can certainly see how people would oppose it.

If you have an insecurity issue with your own manhood, it's your problem. You're the only one that brought that into the conversation.

[Brock]

Damn, I forgot that not being a "real" man I'm not entitled to an opinion...

If you have an issue with your own manhood, it's your problem.

I don't have an issue with my manhood...Obviously, if I did I'd take up hunting to <i>prove</i> what I man I was....

[Iowanian]

Don't be that way Sir. You're entitled to an opinion, regardless of if you hold a current man-card or not. Its just that it would be more appropriate for it to be on interior decorating, expensive shoes, or the proper dinnerware to use for a keish and custard party.



Damn, I forgot that not being a "real" man I'm not entitled to an opinion...

Thanks for setting me straight...

now....as for "rush'...I get a Rush when I make the decision to take any animal...be it sqirrel, turkey, coyote, rabbit, or deer. I get a rush when I SEE a deer for the first time of the day, or if its been a couple of hours, or if its a shooter(big enough buck).

I can absolutely see the RUSH of seeing a bear in the wild.

The bar for me was set when my buddy was dropped off in Alaska last year, 400 miles from civilization with a back pack, bow, tent and tags for caribu, dall sheep and a grizzley. I posted the pic of that griz here.

If anyone here didn't think you were a bitch, you are certainly changing their opinions now. And it doesn't have a thing to do with whether you hunt or not.

[Iowanian]

Personally....I wish ALOT of people would stop hunting....preferably people from colorado, chicago, california who keep coming to Iowania and competing for my hunting rights, or like now...buying my best bow hunting land out from under me.

Hunting is the cause of terrible things. You should tell everyone you know to find a new hobby.
