How horrible. If you really feel the need to hunt, don't be a coward about it. What he did was sick and cruel. I hope they throw the book at him.
Nice! I wasn't much of a fan of their faux-testosterone music, but now they are completely off my radar. Think the radio stations will boycot them like they did the Dixie chicks? Probably not. In country music it's probably a good kill. What real man Troy Gentry is!
This story is extremely disturbing. What a coward, does this guy think that he is acting like a man by killing a defenseless animal in a cage. Shame on him and he should hang his head low for what he has done. Apparently he thought this was legal to do, according to him. Does he think this justifies it. His fans, which I am not one, should realize that by buying any records of his in the future they will be providing him the means to due such cruel and unnecessary things. All I can say is he has no heart.
I live in Minnesota and am an avid outdoorsman. Any kind of poaching or illegal activity makes me sick but I think this one tops them all. To pay $4500+ for a bear in a cage is outrageous enough, but then to shoot the bear while in the cage just to put it in his 'game room' at home is absolutely absurd. Actually, what might be worse is that they edited the video to look like it was done deep in the outdoors. I've never bought nor really enjoyed there music, now I know I never will.
Disgusted in Minnesota
Supposively the video was edited to make it look like he did it, when in fact he didn't...
Shame on Troy Gentry for killing a caged bear with a bow-and-arrow. What a sorry excuse for a man he is. He shold die of stomach cancer.
A Real Man!!!!!!
Texas.
I never thought that I would see the day that I would put Montgomery Gentry in the same league as the Dixie Chicks, but today is the day! I cannot believe that Troy would be so cruel as to do something this despicable! I will never listen to another Montgomery Gentry song, watch their videos, or buy their CDs. I challenge all hunters, who do so legally, and wildlife enthusiasts to do the same and to throw away all Montgomery Gentry CDs. Troy needs to get a life! He has taken one too many.
Say it isn't so. Troy how could you be so damned dumb or is it that your just plain cruel? What a despicable act! This is another black mark on honest Big Game hunters. I was about to buy a ticket for your upcoming show, but, guess what? NOT! My heart is truly saddened.
Until all the facts of the case are know I think we should leave this in the hands of the proper authorities and court system.
