Eleven year old Shelby White: more of an independent, brave, strong, self-sufficient, and intelligent human being than 86% of Obama's voters. And Obama.
Oh, and she knows how to use a gun.
She ought to be on the cover of Time magazine instead of the internet geeks who SUPPOSEDLY fixed the disastrous Obamacare web site....which they didn't, but hey, memes have to be carried on, right, Time?
Nice shooting!
Uh, the girl in that picture doesn’t look eleven to me.
Nice shooting.
Cougar looked emaciated. WOnder why?
Good for her, but why did she shoot a dead cougar?
” shot dead cougar...”
Cougar looks to be in real bad shape, good for her to put it out of it’s misery.
Here is a description by Geronimo, of a cougar attack on Apache women.
“The four women who were captured at this time by the Mexicans were taken into Sonora, Mexico, where they were compelled to work for the Mexicans. After some years they escaped to the mountains and started to find our tribe. They had knives which they had stolen from the Mexicans, but they had no other weapons. They had no blankets; so at night they would make a little tepee by cutting brush with their knives, and setting them up for the walls. The top was covered over with brush. In this temporary tepee they would all sleep. One night when their camp fire was low they heard growling just outside the tepee. Francisco, the youngest woman of the party (about seventeen years of age), started to build up the fire, when a mountain lion crashed through the tepee and attacked her. The suddenness of the attack made her drop her knife, but she fought as best she could with her hand. She was no match for the lion, however; her left shoulder was crushed and partly torn away. The lion kept trying to catch her by the throat; this she prevented with her hands for a long time. He dragged her for about 300 yards, then she found her strength was failing her from loss of blood, and she called to the other women for help. The lion had been dragging her by one foot, and she had been catching hold of his legs, and of the rocks and underbrush, to delay him. Finally he stopped and stood over her. She again called her companions and they attacked him with their knives and killed him. Then they dressed her wounds and nursed her in the mountains for about a month. When she was again able to walk they resumed their journey and reached our tribe in safety.”
That cougar probably was barely able to stand; it’s good that she put it out of its misery.
Washington state outlawed hunting with dogs for the cats. Guess what happened. The cat population is exploding. Feel good liberals will get us all killed yet!
Shot a dead cougar? Why shoot a dead cougar?
The kitty sweatshirt was a nice touch :)
Why did she shoot a dead cougar?................
The girl’s father, Thomas White, was home at the time, but Shelby was the only one in the family with a tag - a permit to legally kill a cougar.
"And, of course, it's much less dangerous than a .243." FReepin' reporters.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
shouldn’t that title be
‘She wasn’t scared a bit’: How girl ELEVEN grabbed gun and shot cougar dead ...
The whole “waiting for a tag” thing seems rather odd.
I’d shoot any animal hunting my child, tag or no tag, and I would not delegate the task to an 11 year old.
I would, however, shoot, shovel, and shut up.
Sory Kiddo, but off to jail you go-
You have no right to use a weaponated firearm nohow noway=
SCOTUS FEB 21 2014
“The Supreme Court on Friday will vote behind closed doors to accept three Second Amendment cases that could further define how minors, and adults, are allowed to carry a gun outside of their own homes.”
They will now be subject to nasty phone calls and death threats from eco-wacko loons all over the country. Not that they will or should care.
CO is thick with mountain lions. They avoid being seen by nature, so most rural CO people don’t realize that. A few rural people know the sound of their calls and when to look for them at night. Daytime sightings—usually rare—are also more frequent now.
