That cougar probably was barely able to stand; it’s good that she put it out of its misery.

[Uncle Miltie]

"Shelby has been hunting with her trusty .234 caliber gun since age 8 or 9. - Where can I get one of those?"

At MalWart.

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?

[xone]

I was an 11-year-old that looked 16.

So, what do you look like now?

[Boogieman]

The kitty sweatshirt was a nice touch :)

Why did she shoot a dead cougar?................

[jagusafr]

Daily Mail - Brits use correct sentence structure, where the modifier to the verb comes before the noun (object).

[NorthMountain]

Was wondering why Dad didn't shoot the beast himself. Article sez:

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.

She does look like a high schooler.

I don’t know if that cat had been dressed or not but it does not look like it was healthy.

Every year, the girl bags a deer with her .234 caliber gun – her weapon of choice because it does not have a powerful recoil.

"And, of course, it's much less dangerous than a .243." FReepin' reporters.

“Good for her, but why did she shoot a dead cougar?”

BLR Lightweight has many options, including .234 caliber.

No .234 — just .243 Winchester

I know there actually is a .234, but it’s an unusual caliber. I was wondering if they meant .243 Winchester, which is a popular caliber for women and youths.

[Jewbacca]

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.”

lol...

[TigersEye]

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.
