Very nice, video and music. I don't live near the river, but had the same frosty condition on the trees. Weather Channel called it "freezing fog".

Nice reply, mom. Is that how you interact with your children, as well? Is name calling and sarcastic taunting part of your regular program?
.
So when you hunt, you aim to wound, not kill? If I misinterpreted your post, I apologize. I tried to state my views decently, what's your buffalo...I mean beef?
:-)

spark: I never said I was anti-hunting, why do you assume that? In fact, I'm not. I have hunted and I have no problem with those that do so ethically and reasonably, use the meat from what they kill and clean up after themselves without dumping the carcass along the most convenient country road. Not too much to ask, is it?

Wow, a little testy, aren't we, spark? But, hey, nice tunnel-vision, keep up the good work and you'll be a full-fledged cyber-bully before you know it.

Also, how do kids get all those video games that they would rather sit inside with and play?

Not all negative comments regarding this story are being made by non-hunters. Having hunted doesn't make you an expert. Not everyone is capable of hunting for their own food and the society we live in today makes it an impossibility at any rate.

momof4: Kudos to the parents for spending time with their kids. But it doesn't have to be the way this article describes. And to have the attitude that you express in your last post, that killing animals is done for your personal entertainment is skewed thinking. To call it sport is not respectful or true. You need to rethink your motives for hunting and have more respect for the animals that give their lives to give you life, IMO.

Good points, wildlife. But wouldn't simply shooting to kill your own meat be called slaughter?
.
Do you think these animals might be fed similar to farm stock and get used to human presence to the point they stand around watching to see if you are there to feed them? Is the water buffalo charging not very similar to a farmer getting attacked by one of the animals in his herd? And would you take your kids to that 2000 acre "wildlife" farm and pay $700 to shoot one of his pigs or $1,500 to $3,500 to plug one of his steers and call it hunting? C'mon!
.
It's just a goofy story and the picture sure doesn't match the dramatic writing and traumatic content.

NVgrf & garyprimer: Exactly...LOL!

"He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun, in case of accidents, he always took his mom." Maybe that was the problem, no loaded-for-buffalo moms!

Neil Young & Crazy Horse was one of the best concerts I ever saw, would have been great to see CSN&Y, tho. And, of course, The Beatles, after they had progressed to the type of music they were making on the White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be and Hey Jude would have been good.
