Hunting for Dummies

Or, more appropriately, dummies hunting.

Despite my recurrent mocking of country star Toby Keith and his shallow-themed music, I have the impression that he's probably a pretty upstanding guy. In reality, I have no idea, but at least I've never seen a story about him like this:

Troy Lee Gentry, of the country singing duo Montgomery Gentry, has been accused of killing a tame black bear that federal officials say he tagged as killed in the wild...

Authorities allege that Gentry purchased the bear from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide, then killed it with a bow and arrow in an enclosed pen on Greenly's property in October 2004...

The bear's death was videotaped, and the tape later edited so Gentry appeared to shoot the animal in a "fair chase" hunting situation, the government alleges.

Wow, Troy, quite the man you are. Tell you what - if you ever want to do a fishing video, you bring the gun and I'll bring the barrel.

And maybe Toby could write a song called "The Angry Vegetarian" in response.
