Now wait for howling RATS: Ban the arrows, knives, forks (oops, first register them)! We might be left with spoons, or just bare hands for eating and back to camp fire, and walking barefoot. Three cheers for the hunter of deers and thieves!

Bizzare story. I saw it on the local Houston evening news. The hunter is black and the perpetuator is white, btw, not that it really matters.

I guess you could say he was taking out the (white) trash.

What is the car thief limit for bow hunting season down there?

Can he still bag two more like Arkansas law allows?

There are no bag limits or seasons on varmints. You can even shoot them with firearms instead of bows and arrows, although a bow and arrow is probably more sporting.

Which end should he have mounted?

From the sound of the location of the hit, I'm surprised the guy died from it. I would presume that location would only wound the guy and not kill him.

Any of you bow hunters who can enlighten us, please do.

OK Doc, why would an arrow in the hiney be lethal?

The amount of blood loss from a well sharpened, properly placed hunting broadhead can be quite spectacular. Given the lack of specifics in the article, this is just a hunch on my part.

Yikes!

Now that is truly a bad way to go! An arrow through the gluteus! Ay caramba!

I have seen some hunting arrows and those things look vicious! And then there is not only the arrow but also the shaft. All of that ripping into the flesh (some arrows open up inside the prey for additional damage). All that stuff slicing into that thief's buttocks and thighs! I have to say that guy really got it.

One thing i am certain of is that when the thief woke up that morning he did not expect to be on the receiving end of a hunting arrow drawn from a composite bow going through his trunk!

That is why one should always pray in the morning!

And this is a case the left cannot really criticize. For one it did not involve a gun but a bow (meaning the argument of the left about guns does not apply). Second the hunter was black and the thief white (meaning the leftist vision of whites running around with rifles and beer kegs does not apply here).

Perfect scenario (although i kind of feel a lil' bit sorry for the thief ....getting shot in the butt with an arrow is a bad way to go. And a shameful one too).

LOL

He's lucky this wasn't 175 years ago. He would have gotten scalped too.

"The man told the hunter he had a gun and threatened to kill him"

That's the great thing about dead felons.... they always seem to say the right thing. One more great reason to never leave one wounded.

Passing motorists saw him run into a field and collapse,

I wonder if the hunter waited a 1/2 hour before tracking the bloodtrail. LOL

The hunter drew his bow and shot at the man, hitting him in the hip and buttocks area.

Proof his brains were in his butt?

The man jumped from the vehicle and ran across the 9500 block of East Mount Houston Road in northeast Harris County. Passing motorists saw him run into a field and collapse..

I'd imagine it's hard to run too far with an arrow in your hip/buttocks.

I certain it contributed to the perp's demise. The action of running probably caused the broadhead to slice up a bunch of stuff that might not have been damaged if he'd just surrendured and gotten aid sooner. Well, that being said, criminals aren't the sharpest arrow in the quiver.

You are really bad with this comment: Well, that being said, criminals aren't the sharpest arrow in the quiver.

Yep, put a broadhead arrow with razor edges into the haunch of a deer, an elk, a bear or a stupid criminal and watch them run and bleed out, collapse and die!

Which is why I don't hunt with a bow any more.
