WTF, was there a shotgun in the womb with him?

If he did it with a bow and arrow I'd be impressed.

Nice shootin Tex.

Ah, Texas!

I was expecting to him say that he wants the blood after looking at that picture.

Farkin' A!

Well at least they are not really wasting any of it. Boots out of the meat, mounting the head and eating the meat.

That is the face of someone who tasted blood, and found it delicious.

I feel uncomfortable with giving a 5 year old a shotgun.

I mean its good that hes probably been taught gun safety and how to properly use/handle the thing, and I'm sure the kid probably doesn't ever have access to it when not supervised, but it just sits wrong with me.

That's almost big enough to impress an Austrian.

Yeah, I'd be more concerned about the murderous, psychopathic look in my 5 year old kid's eyes -- thanks Fark, tonight I get the Village of the Damned nightmare.

Teaching children to kill is part of the American Dream, when he's older he can carry concealed weapons into bars and Town Hall meetings.

Texas has alligators?

And this really isn't hunting, they baited a hook and then pulled the rope slowly until the gator popped out, so they had plenty of prep time. Sure it could've rushed and attacked them, but after however many hours hooked... who knows how exhausted it was.

Also, wtf is a junior shotgun?

The gator was 35 to 40 years old?

Dayum, that's like Grampa years for them, isn't it? He's probably five years away from gumming people to death. He probably had a little scooty-walker and was just shuffling along, minding his own business, thought he was on his own damn lawn.

That kid is going to grow up as a bully. I'm sure people will be referring to him as the kid who killed the big alligator when he was just 5 years old. This thought will be instilled in his brain, and he will develop a badass attitude. He will later on despise weaklings and he'll strive to make himself stronger than anyone else. He will then boss around people and get into fights if he's the one being pushed around.

The worse part with this kid is that when he loses to someone stronger than him, his self-esteem will break down, and it is very possible that he will develop a need to prove his power over someone by killing or beating up people.

A "junior shotgun" is for small people, like children and Democrats.

Its not very sporting, sort of like shooting a game fish you caught on a long line with dozens of hooks.


------------------------------------

Why do people think like this...Jebus freaking Christ

Hunting is not all about sport...it is about harvest. The easier and more efficient the better. The purpose is not 1 to 1 parity with the animal you are trying to hunt. It is taking it in a humane and rather common sense manner. Guns are very good at this and that is why they are used.

The very concept that you are somehow cheating if you don't dive in the water in and catch a fish with your hands -or- wrestle the damn deer to the ground in a choke hold is laughable at best. Ignorant at most.

Excellent.

Here's your diploma for the Fark Institute Of Online Psychiatry.

Now go hang your shingle and start taking patients!

I am reminded of the scene in The Big Red One when the kid opens up the last oven and sees the nazi with the machine gun. They both freeze, then the nazi pulls the trigger... "click." And the kid shoots him. Then he shoots him again. And again, and again. And the sound of his rifle firing repeats slowly for a minute or two as Lee Marvin walks up and hands him another clip.

Worst case scenario is worst case.

He could also grow up as a person who likes to hunt in his spare time but knows where to draw the line because his dad taught him more than just how to pull a trigger...

Becoming a bully isn't an even, it's a process and good parenting will keep a child on track. Guns aren't inherently bad.

Southeast Texas is indistinguishable from southern Louisiana in terms of topography, climate and wild life, generally a sucking h*ll hole. And if I recall from the article this took place near Lake Livingston which is part of Sam Houston national forest .... forest in this case meaning swamp.

archichris: I want to be clear that I respect hunters who eat their kill, and I believe strongly in the second amendment.

But...

I have this problem with baited line gator hunting.

Its not really that hard. You bait a hook and tie it to a stump. The gator swallows the hook, or sometimes just a baited lump tied with string and it gets stuck in his stomach. When you come back the next day you just tug on the line until he swims up to you then pop, shoot him in the head.

Its not very sporting, sort of like shooting a game fish you caught on a long line with dozens of hooks.

Anyway I caught the whole im a croc hunter thing while I was in Houma about ten years ago. Seemed like a huge waste of money maintaining fish and game agents and equipment to regulate the hunting rights of about a thousand native creoles. Would have been cheaper to pay them each the 25 grand they make hunting crocs every year and leave the agents home. Plus their homes smell like partially rotted gator meat from the curing shed. yuck.

If you want to take a 12 gauge slug and wade into the water to hunt one.....I respect that.

It isn't much of a sport, but who the hell wants alligators around? We had one in the waterpark in an upscale neighborhood near Houston.

Texas is a seriously big state. Pick four other normal sized states and you get Texas. Now think if the range and variation in those four states, as long as none of them include mountains, you've go Texas. The panhandle gets 5-12 inches of snow in the winter, western Texas has desert, south western Texas low scrub plains, southeastern Texas (as stated preciously) is a sucking h*ll hole, central Texas has acres upon acres of prime grazing land, far north east Texas has rolling hills and the DFW has traffic .. yeah, that the metroplex's primary contribution - traffic.

Big mountains maybe, Texas does have the Franklin Mountains atleast. I used to go climbing, well, walking in them when I lived in El Paso years ago. Of course I now hear El Paso is basically a huge overdeveloped sprawl of suburban waste land. It's to bad.

The only "Junior Shotgun" I can think of is a .410 Snakecharmer, he must have used buckshot.

Korzine: El Paso

And now I've got that song stuck in my head.

We had a 3,000-acre plot and a 1,200-arce plot about a hundred miles west of Houston when I was growing up, and I was certainly shooting at that age. I was shooting rifles, though. Shotguns are mostly for bird hunting.

A couple of family members bagged some alligators in the lakes and rivers on the property including an old grampa that had taken at least one calf that we knew of, and it was MUCH larger that that one in the article.

I never shot a 'gator, though. Just deer and Javelina (Peccary) and gophers and lots and LOTS of water moccasins that would infest the cattle's drinking water ponds and a couple of rattlesnakes that had taken to sunning themselves on walking paths. But we used .22s for the snakes 'cause shotguns make it too easy. Yes, we were bored most of the time. Heh.

But really, we knew there were alligators all over the property. We just didn't worry about it unless they were bothering the livestock or posed a threat to humans (like the rattlesnakes on the paths). Alligators really and truly don't bother people unless you work pretty hard to aggravate them or have children toddler-sized or smaller.

We'd go float fishing (body supported by innertube at the shoulders with torso and legs submerged) and wade and swim in the lakes and ponds where we'd see plenty of 'gators swimming past all the time, and never had a problem with it. They never even came close enough to make us nervous; just minded their own business.

Good times...

Shooting an animal in a baited trap is impressive? They probably have mounted fish that they shot in a barrel

Hehehehe, I saw that one coming...

If the shotgun is clear plastic, now that's your first indicator that you don't want to take on a gator with it.

I agree. Like those who bait a deer for a few months and then shoot it from a stand when it comes to feed. Not hunters. But I have no problem with this either. Kill it and eat it. But the real sport of hunting would be if the animals were armed with guns as well.

ProdigalSigh: Prospero424 I envy your childhood. The only thing I ever got good at bullseyeing were cicadas in trees with a bb-gun.

Yeah, I actually don't even miss the hunting so much, though I still like to go shooting every once in a while. It's mostly having that much land to do whatever the hell I wanted on that I miss. Camping is great, and I go as often as I can, but most of the time you're not even allowed to build a fire in public parks, no matter how careful you are.

Texas is a lot dryer these days than it used to be. It sucks.

To have that much freedom in nature as kid/young adult to go to sticking to worn trails and nearly ubiquitous restrictions on activity nowadays grates on me at times, but I still have a blast.

PickinWhiskers: wild9: Well at least they are not really wasting any of it. Boots out of the meat, mounting the head and eating the meat.

mrEdude: Teaching children to kill is part of the American Dream, when he's older he can carry concealed weapons into bars and Town Hall meetings.

I guess in your world teaching children their constitutional rightd mean nothing and they should live as a helpless victim is more American. Maybe it's more American to to let your kid roam around on your alligator infested property and be eaten.

Carrying a concealed weapon is legal with a permit. Most people prefer to carry concealed because pussies like you freak out when citizens open carry.

GreenSun: That kid is going to grow up as a bully. I'm sure people will be referring to him as the kid who killed the big alligator when he was just 5 years old.

He will then boss around people and get into fights if he's the one being pushed around.

Projecting much?

I bet this kid's dad gave him a mini copy of the constitution when he bought him his junior shotgun.

STFU and eat yer veggie burger while wearing your ironic t-shirt and sitting on your futon watching tv.. the rest of us will live in the real world.. and when the zombie apocolypse comes we'll be the ones alive and you'll be lunch

I don't care about the hunting part, my adventures into the woods were limited to special occasions and the farmland surrounding our house. I can navigate a cornfield like no one else and know how to how to walk a field of beans and clear it of weeds. It's the freedom and real "wild" I envy. Our house was on the outskirts of town so I had limited "wander the land" exposure, I envy your ability to have it.

Opossums and the occasional skunk or raccoon were all the wildlife I really got to see, all we could ever fish were stocked lakes with catfish and small mouth and rainbow bass too small to keep, so let me have my moment of what might've been.

First verse!

You can torture me
With Donnie and Marie
You can play some Barry Manilow
Or you can play some shlock
Like New Kids on the Block
Or any Village People song you know
Or play Vanilla Ice
Hey, you can play him twice
And you can play the Bee Gees any day
But Mr. DJ please
I'm beggin on my knees
I can't take no more of Billy Ray

Don't play that song
That Achy Breaky song
The most annoying song I know
And if you play that song
That Achy Breaky song
I might blow up my radio (ooooo)

Good stuff!

I searched for it, and I don't think anybody has posted this:

Mija: I guess in your world teaching children their constitutional rightd mean nothing and they should live as a helpless victim is more American. Maybe it's more American to to let your kid roam around on your alligator infested property and be eaten.

The personal "Constitutional Right" was only acknowledged within the past two or three years, I forget the case but it's a new development. I'm incredibly liberal, I favor gun control, I also favor hunting and the ability to conceal-carry.

However, I note that you ascribe ideas/thoughts to an alligator that just don't hold up. Through either anecdotal evidence from this thread or real evidence from gator attack statistics, being "eaten" by a gator isn't something that routinely happens.

Your fail is so great I hope you're just a stupid troll, otherwise I suggest you attempt psychological help, really why are you so angry about things that don't affect you in any way shape or form?

Your shiat's all retarded and you talk like a fag.

FTFA:The youngster showed no fear. "I wasn't even afraid," Simon told a KTRE-TV reporter. "It's pretty much simple. I got my gun out and shot him."

This frightens me more than the psycho picture. When confronted with something that is 10X bigger than you are, you should be alittle scared, even if it was on a line. Noticed Dad didn't waste any time making sure - bet he was alittle scared, even if his kid is too much the fool or psycho to be.

T-Luv:
Approves!

The chubby asshole in this pic shot that pig 8 times over the course of 3 1/12 hours during a canned hunt. I hope he gets gored and eaten during his one.

BuzzBoy: The only "Junior Shotgun" I can think of is a .410 Snakecharmer, he must have used buckshot.

I don't think a .410 would've penetrated the hide at all, even with a slug. "Junior shotgun" can also mean a 20 gauge with a shortened stock (generally by about an inch) to better fit younger shooters.

Kalashinator: I hope he gets gored and eaten during his nextone.

Of course not, even a 5 year old can kill one.

Approves.


/kilt him a bar when he was only 3

Has anybody else noticed that while a 5 year old did the deed, you need to be at least 13 to legally comment on the news story?

Because I'm sure an alligator in the water was real threatening.

I've watched enough Croc Hunter, they're not terribly dangerous to land animals that aren't retarded. If you know enough to not hand out at the water's edge, they've got no interest.

Of course, these are Texans, and I'll take a pronghorn's over any Texan in a spelling bee.

You have no idea wtf you are talking about...

When the reptile surfaced, Simon shot it from about 5 feet away with his junior-sized shotgun, killing it. Just to be certain, Cotton fired another shot with his pistol to make sure it was dead.


Rule #4 - Double tap

Guns.

Loucifer: Some of the Texas toddlers don't even carry a gun. A lotta folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough'd never carry one; that's the younger Jim(age 4). Gaston Boykins wouldn't wear one up in Camanche County. I always liked to hear about the youngsters. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against these little tykes. Can't help but wonder how theyd've operated these times.

Haha, is it too late to say nothing is obscure on Fark?

Nice work, though.

Ya'll leave Gator Bait alone now.

Jeez, what a bunch of gun-paranoid chickenshiat pansies this country has turned into.

No wonder Obama is President.

I think that kid successfully proved that humans are smarter than animals, even when they have teeth!

Eh, 5 year olds are too young for guns. I don't care if you're Ted Nugent's kid.

A Tout Le Monde: I think that kid successfully proved that humans are smarter than animals, even when they have teeth!

If the kid'd built his own gun, I'd totally agreed.

Why? Takes too much time away from their anal sex-ed classes?

I wonder if the kid's parents spend as much time teaching him to read as they do teaching him to hunt.

its coming strait at us
