Bow hunting practice pays off for Oakfield resident

Congratulations, Brad! What an awesome accomplishment. The smile on your face says it all!

Great job, Brad! If you have too much venison, you can send some over here :)

Murderer

Sorry Rusty your on this earth today due to murderers of this type. Already people like you who have forced limits on hunters have lead to hundreds of thousands of deer to starve, or be killed when are crowded into urban areas and get killed by cars, landscape vegetation or other hazards they dont understand.

So people like in in my viewpoint, are the true murderers as your viewpoints and actions end up causing the deaths of more deer than any single hunter could harvest in a lifetime.

By the way just to eliminate further argument....this is the definition of murder:

A person commits the crime of murder if with intent to cause the death of another person, he causes the death of that person or of another person,or under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life, he recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to a person other than himself, and thereby causes the death of another person. Murder may also be committed when a person commits or attempts to commit arson, burglary, escape, kidnapping, rape, robbery, sodomy or any other felony clearly dangerous to human life and, in the course of and in furtherance of the crime that he is committing or attempting to commit, or in immediate flight therefrom, he, or another participant if there is any, causes the death of any person.

Therefore, this hunter is not a murderer as they havent committed murder.

Whatever dude. Thanks for your two cent opinion, not to mention your Websters dictionary quote. I dont cause deer to starve; only the strongest survive.

Real name alert

It is my real name

It's not even Dale's real name on King of the Hill.

From Wikipedia:

Dale Alvin Gribble(Dale T. Gribble on a DVD commentary) is a fictional character in the animated series King of the Hill.[1] and is voiced by Johnny Hardwick. He is an exterminator, bounty hunter, smoker, gun fanatic, and paranoid believer of almost all conspiracy theories and urban legends. Mike Judge and Greg Daniels named him in tribute to Mike Gribble, of Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation...

Rusty Shackleford

Due to his beliefs, he uses the alias Rusty Shackleford whenever he doesn’t want his real name known, mostly when ordering pizza. However, Dale inevitably reveals his identity anyway after a few minutes through one act of stupidity or another, such as using the two names interchangeably with the same person.

In the episode, "Peggy’s Gone to Pots", the original owner of Dale's stolen alias paid him a visit, and asked him to sign some paperwork so that Rusty could get on with his life. Apparently, Rusty Shackleford is the name of a third grade classmate of Dale's whom Dale thought was dead, but in fact simply moved away. (See Rusty Shackleford below) Dale has claimed to have the birth certificate of a child who died in 1953 with the name Rusty Shackleford. It is not known whether this document is real or fake. The neighborhood block charter is the only document he has ever signed with his real name; he refuses to sign any document authorized by a government official. Along with the alias, he often wears a faux mustache to "tighten" his security.

You caught me...

Calling a young hunter a murderer seems to be a much more petty and insulting opinion....making it two cents less than mine :)

Would it make you feel better if I said "Deer Slayer" instead?

Well Rusty in my "two cent opinion", I think that everyone of us are murderers. If you eat anything, plants, animals, or whatever you have killed something or caused something to be killed in order for you to consume it. Maybe it would sound better if I called the vegans and vegetarians plantslayers instead.

I'm going out on a limb here but I figure that the kid and his family is going to eat the meat from the deer.

Does it matter now Rusty you already called him a murderer....once proven wrong relabeling doesnt change the facts.

Your goal is to tear down something someone worked hard to aquire their skills and then went out and accomplished them. Something to be encouraged. Attitudes like yours are what erode this Country's heart and soul.
No only by being such an A-hole but by doing it so frequently that people just ignore it instead of stamping in out like the pestilance it is.

Take for instance the "stepping back" that is rippling through the environmental movement. As I have said before nothing can tear down ideals quicker than raw facts.

Take nuclear power. The origins of the modern environmental movement are intimately bound up with its anti-nuclear campaigning – but it is by no means clear that this has been beneficial to the environment. Nuclear power has not caused a single species to go extinct. Instead it is of enormous benefit in helping industrialised, densely-populated, power-hungry societies to generate much-needed electricity without emitting carbon.

Green anti-nuclear campaigning has already added to the atmospheric stock of carbon dioxide, probably to the tune of more than a billion tonnes. Why? Because nuclear plants which were opposed by greens in the 1970s and 1980s were instead replaced by coal plants. In hindsight that was obviously a mistake, but it is one that today’s environmental lobby groups seem determined to repeat. German per-person carbon emissions are several tonnes higher than those in France, because France mainly deploys nuclear power. Yet the German greens are still demonstrating against nuclear in their thousands, having apparently learned nothing from the past.

This is one important area of debate that the Channel 4 film highlights. The documentary follows me as I visit Chernobyl, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster, and discover that wildlife in the area is thriving, and that the effects of the radioactive contamination on people are much less serious than previously thought. That is what the science says, yet many green groups continue to spread myths about tens of thousands of people dying because of Chernobyl when the actual death toll so far – according to a major UN report published in 2006 – has likely been only around 65.

LOL So go on and pick on deer slayers all you want. If I was inclinedd to hunting rather than fishing I would carry that title proudly.

Kyle, Thanks again for your opinion and hyper-analysis. You seem to know a lot about a person based on a few written words, not to mention the environmental movement. You might want to proofread, or at least do a spell check of your work, before you hit the "save" button.

-Big Russ

It would seem that when you call a deer hunter, "murderer", Kyle has your number.

Kyle, you should cite any material you use from other sources when you include it in a comment - someone might think you were trying to pass it off as your own.

I might have been using "murderer" in a comical sense...you judgmental folk may never know for sure. And also, Kyle, I was asking in regards "deer slayer", not back tracking, you small town hick.

You might have been using murderer in a comic sense, thats true Rusty however you left it open to interpretation. Your comments afterward clearly show no comic value.

As a matter of fact your comments show you to be judgemental and rather petty. as did your original comment. As your small town hick sling proves. As for spelling, I can spell just fine, and since you may not be aware of it the article is cut and pasted from a reporter in the UK so you may be ignorant of the fact that eniglish here and english in the UK have differences in spelling. Plus everyone knows when your losing face in a chat format Rusty you start picking on spelling and grammar just to obfuscate the fact that you look bad and turn attention elsewhere. I spell well enough for everyone to understand my point perfectly.

Besides I gotta give Billie something to do with my posts as the content might not interest her LOL

Brandon, thank you for pointing out the missing citation, it was meant to be put in before I pasted the article but I forgot to go back and do so.

Rusty's typing sounds an awful lot like Richard Gagnons typing. Just saying.

No problem, Kyle.

I read the article from which you quoted and I'd like to point out that the writer is a British environmental scientist (Mark Lynas) who was mostly referring to the German and British environmental movements in regard to their origins being tied-up with the anti-Nuke campaign. The American environmental movement has many points of origin going back well beyond the anti-nuclear campaigns to John Muir, Teddy Roosevelt, and even Henry David Thoreau.

You lost, I achieved my goal.

Jeremiah, I'm thinking you meant Richard Gahagan, I had to look it up as I'd already forgotten him. Hey Rich, if that's you, you stayin' the winter or going back to Texas?

Rusty, chill on the name calling. "Murderer" and "small town hick" are derogatory.

just out of curiosity, why does Rusty's name come up as Jason on his profile. I thought we were only to use our real names.

Holy randomness. Anyways....nice shot Brad!!!
