He was an anterless buck!
Where do you buy those at?I've taking large game with my bow.
And liked the heavier serrated heads, like..
Up to 150 grains. Absolutely deadly. And they really tare things up. Even shot a little high one time and broke the back bone clean through. Animals didn't suffer. Much like a old flint arrow head. They work great!
Source?
Two live witnesses against one dead one wins in court.
The dad might not have even gotten there yet.
Or even his CONSCIENCE.
That advice was good until modern forensics came into existence. Now however, not so much.
I was going to ask if the kid gets to mount the trophy.

Good thing there's Spell Check or I'd really be in trouble.

The picture I posted was a likeness of the ones I've used and have in my tackle box. Mine where custom made by a machinist. IIRC, ...125 grains for deer, 150 for bear.
I just did a search and see the ones you can buy on the net are few and far between. Infact sold out. The pictured one are not even available and the manufacturer said only for small game.

This too shall pass.
It also demonstrates why most “bulletproof vests” won’t stop an edged weapon.

Nah, just SS; no annoying investigation (that might go the wrong way) then. It's not like there was a gunshot to attract attention from neighbors or JBTs.

I bet the local liberal commie crats will now want to register / ban evil assault bows & arrows.
Haven't they already banned kitchen knives in a couple of places (NZ, for sure, I think, and maybe the UK, too)?

IIRC, “pointed” knives are banned in the UK. Evidently TPTB there have never seen a bench grinder.

Lessons here:
1. If the need arises, you will use what you have on you.
2. Be proficient with what you have on you.
3. Have your favorite tool with you at all times.

Quote is not working for me...
"I somehow doubt that the thief "ran towards the boy", especially with his daddy right there, but since there is no one to contradict that story, it works.
From the article....
"The boy called his father and a confrontation ensued between the two adults, authorities said. During the incident, the suspect allegedly ran toward the juvenile, the boy’s family told investigators at the scene."
Father was on the phone and not actually present at the scene.
Yes. Easy to see thief attempt to scare and or over power the boy.

She may have told you that, but that's generally considered to be horribly bad advice.
If they find out you did that, how's the rest of the narrative going to hold up?

It worked earlier and now, just not with Cardinal's post. ??
Perhaps slow internet connection interfered?
You are the tech man, sir.
The teef called the father on the phone, or vice versa? Or did the kid hand off his phone to the teef?
How did a confrontation ensue of not F2F???

Speaker phone ??
I was not there. Just quoting posted information in the article.
Article says boy called the father. It does not say the father arrived, then the thief went after the boy.

its not very clear on the timeline or how long these events took to happen.
did the boy, knowing what was going on, call his father immediately and not confront the thief? was there a lag? did the boy call his father, the father show up away from the boy and they start arguing, and then the thief charges the boy?
there is this part as well:
it either was much more drawn out than they make it appear in the article, or once the father showed up, everything went WAY faster than they make it sound.
whatever happened, the kids had warned the thief several times, but he still went for the kid and the kid defended himself.

You aren't holding your mouth right.
Tristan, she was making a point, that legally you don't want to shoot someone outside your home. Don't take what she said literally.
THEY choose where they get shot, not me
Sorta?
I'd choose to shoot them twice at center mass and once between the eyes.
Inside, outside, up a tree, makes no difference to me. NC case law says I am justified in engaging threats outside my residence under a number of circumstances. Including shooting through doors windows or walls in case parties unknown attempt "violent and tumultuous" entry.
