The punishment for this crime should be pretty obvious:

A ten second head start. *picks up bow and arrows* :D

That is so fucked up.

Call me a hippie, but that's just not cool. I like bears. Although perhaps not as much as you-know-who (http://www.adn.com/front/story/4110831p-4127072c.html) liked them...:p

Gentry's manager, Johnny Dorris, said Wednesday that Gentry, an outdoorsman and hunter, expects to be exonerated.

Gentry "relied on the knowledge and expertise of a local guide to obtain the proper permit," Dorris said in a written statement. "Troy felt what he did was legal and in full compliance of the law and was surprised to hear of the indictment."
"I thought it was totally okay to buy a tame bear and shoot it in a pen."

Sweet crap, this is was passes for an 'outdoorsman' these days? I was never a fan of 'real' hunting, but at least there was something there. Why don't losers like this guy and Dick Cheney just go to the carnival and shoot the mechanical piano player in the ass with a BB gun to get him to play four bars of some ragtime tune and drop the fucking pretence.

What is it with "manly men" and canned hunts?

Hey, what do expect from a country-style muscian?:rolleyes:

Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a live dove, almost as bad.:p

Wasn't it a bat?

He bit the bat on stage. He did the dove in front of some executives.

He deserves to be tied to a post covered in honey and then let the bears come. And that's just for the country music. I'll think of some other punishment for the bear thing.

You beat me to it- I was going to start the "Sportsman of the Month Thread" for him- http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=230819&GT1=7702

What a douchebag.

I'll never understand it,myself. This bear had a freaking name, for crying out loud.

You want to impress me, hunt grizzly with a bow in their home territory. Although, I feel if you can snap a good quality picture, why kill a wild animal that has reached full maturity in the world today?

I have a dozen deer or more walk through my yard each day and a huge black bear wander through every other week or so. No sport in shooting something I could hit with my car.

Thats an unfair and inaccurate generalization.

I'm sure Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney's Wild Ride along with Toby Keith in general are all isolated incidents.

Only one of thse adjectives is correct. Pick one. :)

Is this coming from someone that has never done anything really stupid-as judged by others,not themselves- in their life?

Nah- its my statement and I make my rules. They are both correct.


I'm wondering if Gentry now comprehends what he did is wrong or if he is just sorry he was caught.

I'ld put my money on "sorry he was caught". What an ass.

Coming from someone who's probably taken part in the right-wing sport of bashing the so-called Liberal Cultural Elite of Hollywood, that's a pretty disingenuous Ad Hominem. It's like the tired old "If you use a vehicle that emits gas, you don't have any authority to speak up about protecting the environment" crap that's been on the board lately.

If it had been the Dixie Chicks that shot the bear you'd be calling for them to fry.

Ok, have you any idea how painful it is to laugh while drinking Coca-Cola and have it get up in your nasal cavity?


....well, I do now.

I bet it cleared those old sinuses out pretty good, though.:p

"probably" ? I think you're confusining me with someone else.

If my father shot this bear under the same circumstances, I'd be disgusted. Should someone "fry" for doing something like this?

Of course not.

Their punishment should be significant though, not a slap on the wirst, or easily afforded fine. It should be substantial enough a penalty so that they'll never forget and never be inclined to do so again.

Dont assume what I'd be calling for, under any circumstances.

What a fucking wanker...seriously...And the fuck that sold him a pet bear to do it needs a kicking even more so...

What a fucking wanker...seriously...And the fuck that sold him a pet bear to do it needs a kicking even more so...

I agree. The sad part is how the bear felt when he realized the betrayal.

He had a fucking name!! That would be along the lines of selling someone your dog and they toss it a stick and shoot him as he returns with it.

I'm changing my mind-Fry this stupid fucker!

And fry the Dixie Chicks too!

How about he be sentenced to writing a bad country song about it and have to perform that song as the closing to every single appearance he makes from now on?

How could you tell if he's actually serving the sentance?

Isn't "bad country song" redundant?

Damn crazy country musician. The poor bear. How about we set this guy loose into the forests of North America. He can have a gun and the bear(s) can use their nice shiny claws on this guy. Thats what I call a fair fight.

Now, when you say gun, are you including bullets?

Hmm, very good points. Make him just stand up there and say it out loud? "I bought a tame bear, had it put in an enclosure and killed it with a bow and arrow. And then, folks, I reported it as a wild kill." Right there on stage with a nice, bright spot on him.

Now, when you say gun, are you including bullets?

In a normal hunt bullets are optional ( usually advisable) BUT as this is a punishment the hunter will have no bullets. Instead the bullets will also be hidden in the forest but some of them will be blanks which would further enrage the bear(s). Normal bullets will be hidden in hard to get places like a bear cave

Oh, and pre-arm the crowd with rotten fruit.

That works. I was thinking of picking one ticket at random and having that person come up on stage and slap him.

REAL manly men hunt Kodiak bears with muzzle loading rifles, or muskets. Bows and arrows are for wusses and people who cant aim ;)

No, REAL manly men hunt bears with their bare hands. Mostly because all REAL manly men enjoy bad puns.

The REALLY REAL manly men cut their hands off first, and rub the bleeding stumps with honey.

Yes, but FIRST they rip out their teeth and glue them to the stumps, then they headbutt the bear, because headbutting is a manly way to show that your skull is really thick.

This is like when some sick ass hunters shot a tame wolf(under the circumstances, it would be almost impossible to prove otherwise) because they hated wolves. A rabid or starving one I would understand, but one that's basically a "primitive" dog san only millennia of breeding? That's as manly as a tea party in a sunday dress with stuffed animal guests. That's as manly as slapping. That's as masculine as a vagina. Dicks.

Canned hunts are actually fairly popular, for some reason. People will pay big bucks for a caged mountain lion, bear, or some other 'big game' (usually) to be let out of a cage so that it can be mauled by dogs and then shot, or just shot.

Heres the Wiki on it.

Not a great article, but I didnt look at the links at the bottom, so maybe theres something interesting.

Not very sporting ...

Although not much hunting is, these days. I say, if a man wants to really hunt, give him a rifle and have him face an angry grizzly bear at 100 feet. That would be a fair fight. If you can't handle it, don't hunt. Seriously, why hunt things like defenseless deer or domesticated animals with guns anyway? Deer aren't that hard to kill. Whenever I'm driving and I see a deer in the middle of the road, it makes no attempt to escape. It just calmly walks across the road, like it wants me to run it over. Fuck deer. /rant

Canned hunts. Anyone defending them?

This thread looks like a canned hunt of shooters (I'll be damned if I'm going to call the likes of these people "hunters") who engage in canned "hunts". And that's a good thing....

AS noted above, REAL men cut off their hands, coat them in honey, then rip out their teeth and go out to saw a Kodiak Bear's head off. After headbutting it to wake it up.
None of that sissy projectile stuff.

Ah yes, that would be even more acceptable. I didn't read the entire thread. :p

Am I the only one who sees this story as being sad and pathetic? Next thing you'll be telling me is that even though the dude wears a cowboy hat, the closest he has ever been to a horse is the petting zoo at the Children's Zoo when he was a little wannabe Gene Autry.

Check, please.

What a tool. There's really not much more I can add, that hasn't already been said.

Anyone for a canned country singer hunt, preferably using bears?

Kodiak bears...on viagra.

Hooray! :D

Know what's a fair fight?
The hunter has an unloaded rifle in one hand and ammo in the other.
An angry bear is 5 yards away from him and closing in.
50% chance the bear meets her maker(let's make it an angry mother bear)
50% chance the bear gets some delicious, nutricous people meet
Sounds a bit fair

And to think, I had sorta liked him as a singer.

That's pretty much animal cruelty.
The guy bought a pet and shot it in the head.
AND! He edited it to make it seem like a fair chase! Obviously, the guy has no hunting skills whatsoever.

It's people like him and Dick Cheney that give hunting a bad reputation.....
