Kudos to my friend Betsy who sent me this link under the heading "Every Parent’s Dream":

DEWITT, Ark. — A 5-year-old Arkansas County boy killed a black bear Sunday weighing more than 400 pounds.

Tre Merritt, a descendant of Davy Crockett, was hunting with his grandfather Mike Merritt when a black bear happened upon their stand.

Read the whole article and watch a video of the family from the local news. What do you think of this story? Am I the only one alarmed by the thought of a gun-toting kindergartner?
