Sorry this is off sports topic but this was too good of a story..
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?
Rely on the
five-year-olds, that's what:
A 5-year-old Arkansas County boy killed a black bear Sunday weighing more than 400 pounds. [...]
"He came in about 40 to 50 yards," Mike Merritt said of the black bear, "and when he got in the open, I whistled at him and he stopped and I said, 'Shoot Tre.'" Tre confirmed his grandfather's account.
"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."
This kid is the 10th great-grandson of Davy Crockett, who supposedly killed a bear when he was three..
