Girl, 8, Credited With Year`s 1st Bear Kill

There`s a new hunting legend in the mountains of Western Maryland. Born to the woods, she`s 4 1/2 feet tall and 8 years old, with a shock of light brown hair and a steady trigger finger that put two bullets into a black bear`s chest cavity Monday, according to her and her father and granduncle, who were hunting with her. State officials backed the claim by Sierra Stiles and credited her with the first kill of Maryland`s second bear season since hunting the animals resumed after a half-century ban.

Now that is effective gun control.



Deer Not Trick-Or-Treating

Elizabeth Laatsch had to reassure the operator her call was no Halloween prank. A deer came through her backyard Friday with a pumpkin stuck on its head. At least, it looked like a pumpkin to the South Middleton Township woman.

I wonder if PETA is going to try banning pumpkins as dangerous to animals.
