I don't really understand what's so hard to understand about the letter to the editor.

Seriously, does a 4-year-old need to be out there hunting? Is it really good parenting to drag a toddler out there and hand him a deadly weapon and urge him to kill things.

...and if Dad honestly believes that he can only bond with his son over a steaming dead deer carcass - that's just pathetic on so many levels...

Seriously - we're talking about a 4 year old. That's a kid that hasn't even been to Kindergarten yet. He can't even understand how to play Playstation. He may not even be able to tie his own shoes. And this jackass is trying to convince everyone that it's a great idea to arm him and drag him around the wilderness on a killing spree during his formative years? WTF.

Honestly, this kid should be playing teeball and learning his ABC's.

Sorry bro, but I don't think a 4-year-old in a treestandis forming a bond with anything. If anything, he's damaging his psychosocial processes through isolation and violence. He has no clue what he's doing insofar as habitat and population management. Maybe he makes dad proud if he kills something. But Dad's pride comes at the price of permanent psychological damage of the youngster.

Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
