If you’d like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.
Hill has said he was getting out of the shower on Mother's Day in May when his wife spotted a female grizzly and a pair of 2-year-old juveniles nosing around the pigpen 40 yards outside. The two began shouting for their children, who had last been seen playing basketball on the opposite side of the house, but got no answer. While Rachel went to look for the children, Hill picked up his gun and went onto the back deck. He leveled the weapon at one of the young bears, which was climbing into the pigpen, and fired. The other juvenile bear and the sow rushed into the woods in fright, while the young bear Hill had shot limped off, and then turned and moved back toward the house.
No offence to our FR lawyers, but the law is an ass. The kids are missing. I might have fired a "warning" shot, a bear banger which often runs them, but it was the pigs that were in danger, not the children, humans, who were missing, so obviously this was an assault on the endangered bears. Legal problems. Worse yet, the young bear Hill had shot limped off and he shot him or her, murder.
I'm not big on killing animals that you're not going to eat, or which aren't a threat. But I'd love to hear how three grizzers around missing children aren't a threat.

A Griz would require plenty of shoveling, though the “perp” (hero) IS a backhoe operator.

one only had to sit in the stands of the annual 4-H auction at the Boundary County Fairgrounds here last month, when 14-year-old Jasmine Hill's handsome pig, Regina, went up for sale.
I do so dearly love rural America.

Wasteful. In a rational society, he would have had a BBBQ. Bear BBQ for the acronymically challenged.

That event happened just up the road from me. Here is an account, after the shooting and before the plea bargaining, by a woman who knows the Hill family, and spoke with them to get the facts.

I might have misunderstood your post, but I’ll pass on your outdoor life etc. list and look to someone else for ping. I will not judge the man. “Murder” a bear, sheesh.

Good for Idahoans. Some of the best folks in one of the best states in the country. First state to have officially nullified Obamacare.

Unfortunately, if I read the article correctly, it did cost a thousand dollars for the citation.
