[QUOTE="Boomstickin, post: 3071063, member: 121945"] Have read the majority of the responses to this thread & many make valid points. Yes, what happened to these two young men is tragic & sad. Condolences to the family, as a parent one of my worst fears is having to bury my child. Pray that day never becomes a reality. Moving forward, it is extremely important to teach our children as much as we can at an early age about the wonders of Gods Country & the harsh realities that mother nature presents. This is also true about wondering around in the concrete jungle. Being aware of what is happening around us at all times is part of staying safe in this world. It is cold harsh world we live in, the second we let our guard down is the opportunity the devil needs to inflict harm on us. The Federal & State governments have put restrictions on hunting predators but they can not take our ability to defend or protect ourselves & others against predators 2 legged, 4 legged, etc. In regards to being attacked by wildlife, we have to understand that this is a reality when we step into the wild. The more we frequent the wild, the higher the chance of an attack happening gets. Knowing human & animal behavior can & will prevent injury & death.
