TETON COUNTY - An 11-year-old boy has shot and killed a black bear at point blank range in Teton County.
The Teton Valley News reports that the boy was home alone with two younger sisters and was afraid the bear would make its way into the house just like the bear that Fish and Game trapped and euthanized two weeks ago.
The boy tried to get the bear to leave initially.
Fish and Game says that the family isn't in trouble, and that they would have likely put this bear down themselves.

Good Job Lad!
Been a few good stories of the right thing to do getting posted here this past week.
Can I dare say that our wrong side up world may be tilting back (long way to go) right side up!
Heck even the Contra Costa Times (Cali) had headlines of Jerry Brown going Conservative on the Liberals...that is huge news!

Fish and Game won’t pursue charges. So, when will the ACLU show up???

In some states all three kids would be taken away, and the parents likely jailed.
Three kids home alone, the oldest 11, and accessible guns in the house?

Sounds like the home — and the younger children — were adequately protected.

"Fish and Game says that the family isn't in trouble, and that they would have likely put this bear down themselves." No doubt these officials will be replaced ASAP!

Yeh....sounds like the hundreds of stories of our early pioneers...
Be thankful that some parents raise their kids to think on their own when they're young.
We all learned to shoot at grandpas when we were young. It doesn't turn you into killers...

We have a wolf season now, so I think the legislature should consider enacting an ACLU lawyer season. Wolves, ACLU lawyers, same species.

That must've been what Ron White was refering to when he joked about taking a crap so big his pants fit looser afterward.

Well, to be fair, he was paraphrasing Shakespeare, but he did say it in the song "Get Over It". Of course, I bet he'd be the first to find a lawyer if someone tried to put a wind farm in his neighborhood.
