Your right Fabs, good post.
However, my sons first kill was a deer. But, and its a big ole but, I had him on land that is crawling with deer, I did my homework and I knew, within reason, a deer was going to present a easy shot within minutes. It did, he killed it and hasnt looked back. Deer are fine for youngins, if the adult knows what they are doing and does their homework.
Honestly, I would volunteer to take a kid like that if it was legit. But I got a feeling this is a hoax. Too many holes in the story. Almost like Mr Pinky has been resurected.
