RE: The whole story
Hmm, firstthread I've seen come alongin a long whilethatwarranted a response.
First, what a great little trooper that young lady is.... definitely thinks and acts "outside the box."
Second, she's using a 375 H&H.... two quick shots from prone (not easy).... the"recoil sensitive crowd" is conspicuouslyabsent on this one... the silence is kindadeafening.... [Yeah I know, attackher use of a muzzlebrake and shoulder pad, etc. etc......] (I'm sure mom and dad can afford the "game ears" --- just using modern technology to get the job done.)
Third....
The last time that kind of phraseology was used on thisforum so manyhunters got their panties in such a knot over the impliedissues of "where you hunt---what you hunt/class warfare/social equality" that they could hardly see straight.
Ido agree with the above.... ah, er, argh, uhmm, gasp.... (chuckle) "quote" though.
What a great little gal, I'd say she's definitely got some temperto her steel.... the "right stuff." Ienjoyed her "30 yards.... Jurassic Park" comment. Seemingly genuine andmature and capable beyond her years.
Cool parents too, someone had some goals and a refusal to be relegated to the usual "conventional/provincial" thinking.
Thanks BuchHunter14, bearhuntr,and Montana Bob, your posts made my day.

Well,
I'm going to buck the trend here. I think its total BS! I don't think that a 8-10 YO has the mental capability to make an informed decision in this instance. There is no way that young lady knew the inherient dangers involved with that hunt. I would say that those parents are totally wrong for taking her on that kind of hunt. I think it would be a sad day if that sweet little girl was charged and injured because her folks thought it would be cool if their daughter hunted Brown Bears.
There is a reason why kids can't drink alchohol, smoke cigarettes, drive cars, vote etc.. I have a 8 yo and I can guarantee you that the fear never even enters his mind. He doesn't have the years of knowledge to form the proper state of mind. I think that this is border line child endangerment.
I am super happy that she killed the bear and nothing dangerous happened. But, I doubt that she even fully understands how big of a thing she did.
And another thing, What does she have to look forward too? When you start at the top there is no where to go but down.

That little girls name is Fern... She is one heck of a shot! Her Dad takes great pride in his daughters... Fern also took a 39 inch DallRam the year before this.. Larry showed me the pictures of Fern and her bear..You should have seen the smile on his face... I'll always remember it.. Good Job Fern... I hope I get a bigger one in September..
