Troy Gentry
 

Not sure of the truth of this, but a co-worker of mine heard it today on the radio. It was reported that Troy Gentry of the Country music group Montgomery Gentry purchased a tamed retiredcircus Bear for $4,600 and staged a "hunt" where he shot and killed it. The reports I heard was he actually staged it to look like the bear was charging him as he shot it with his bow.

Here is the atricle that I found abou it.

I saw this on another thread. Well, give him the benefit at least till convicted.

I really hope this is not the case however it looks like it is. If this comes to be true I guess I'll be pulling my CD out of my exchanger in my Titan and chucking it out the window, well I don't want to litter so I guess I just put it in the garbage.

RE: Troy Gentry
 

Definitely not a good thing. Its almost sad too that he possibly faces prison for 5 years and some muderers don't even get that.

He deserves whats coming to him though.

RE: Troy Gentry
 

Rob, mail it back to his recording label with a letter of explanation.... My wife is a big fan of theirs, and has several of their CD's... That's what I'm doing....

Thats to bad , hope its not true but if it is then it just goes to show ya that people with lots of money think they can do whatever they want reguardless .

RE: Troy Gentry
 

What an idiot. I always thought those guys were pretty big posers anyway... Nothin's "country" like taking out a tame circus bear. It takes all kinds I guess...

RE: Troy Gentry
 

I never liked those guys anyway. This is just another reason.

RE: Troy Gentry
 

Holly Crap! I agree with the whole idea of "Innocent until proven guilty," but if this SOB really did this, they ought to just hand him over to the next bear they find....unarmed and dipped in honey. Let's see how he likes the whole idea of "you don't stand a f***ing chance!"

Dad gummit! I sort of liked them!

RE: Troy Gentry
 

better idea. Send his butt to Kodiak Island with no weapons. Put the sent of fresh elk blood on him and see if he can make it a week. Hell I would even give him a full day.

RE: Troy Gentry
 

IF THIS STORY TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME OR MONEY ON ANY OF THEIR MUSIC AGAIN.

RE: Troy Gentry
 

Man that really sucks, its going to give real hunters a bad name. PETA is going to love this. It will also hurt country musics reputation. I guess Jackie Bushman will pull their theme song for his show off now, i would if it was true. You would think he could afford to bear hunt anywhere in the world. Hope its not true.

Cracks me up. A bit of advice to some: Don't be Duked into believing everythingthat isreported or is in writting is accurate. Whether this story is or isn't, I don't know. But don't just assume it is. The article shows one side of the story (accurate, I don't know), and I'm sure there is another (and we have not heard it yet). Someone is charged, but not convicted. As hunters (as some others threads have mentioned), it seems we are often at times our own worst enemy.

The older I get the more I appreciate our forefathers.
